ITEM NO. 3 TEMECULA COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION SHAWN D. NELSON APRIL 3, 1995 SUBJECT: AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) PREPARED BY: ~BRUCE A. HARTLEY, MAINTENANCE SUPERINTENDENT RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission receive and file a report on the current status of ADA compliance within the City park system and the impact on new projects. DISCUSSION: The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed into law January 26, 1990. The ADA has several components or titles. Title II, Public Accommodations, which went into effect July 26, 1992, has direct impact on municipalities. There are two procedural requirements that all municipalities must meet: Conduct a self evaluation of services, programs, activities and facilities to determine where barriers to access and utilization exist and how they can be removed. This was completed in the City of Temecula I~rior to the January 26, 1993 deadline. The removal of barriers must be completed by January 26, 1995, unless there is undue economic burden attached to the process. In order to comply with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), the City of Temecula, Community Services Department has initiated and completed a survey of existing facilities to identify any items that will need to be addressed to meet ADA guidelines. The primary deficiency found throughout the City's parks was inadequate access for handicapped citizens to recreational opportunities. The parks currently being utilized for recreation and leisure activities have been surveyed and a list of needed improvements has been compiled. These improvements will be made as part of the Community Services Department's Capital Improvement Program. Due to the cost associated with the barrier removal program, this will be phased over the next few years. Projects scheduled for fiscal year 1995-96 are: Sam Hicks Memorial Park, Veterans Park, Calla Aragon Park, Rancho California Sports Park, and John Magee Park. All new construction within the City's park system has been designed to meet or exceed current ADA guidelines and provide a ~luality experience for all levels and capabilities of park user. The consultants utilized for T.C.S.D. projects are knowledgeable in the application of ADA guidelines. All recreation activities and programs have been reviewed and assessed as to their accessibility to handicapped and disabled persons. Consideration is also being given to hearing impaired and vision impaired individuals when planning recreational opportunities. Staff is reviewing information from the Braille Institute of Los Angeles and other non-profit organizations as to how we can provide recreational opportunities accessible to all. The intent of the ADA guidelines is to insure that all public facilities are either accessible to disabled persons or are in the process of being retrofitted to remove barriers to those people whose disability may prevent an equal opportunity or experience from being realized. The ADA guidelines are not sl~ecific in determining to what lengths a municipality must go to accommodate disabled people. Those barriers that may be removed without undue economic burden must be removed. A plan to continue to remove barriers must be followed. No information was found' to indicate in certain terms the extent of responsibility for total accessibility. It is generally agreed in the parks and recreation industry that equal access to similar activities and opportunities is adequate. Those areas that are either very costly or are a safety concern have not been addressed. It is advisable that those areas which are very costly be addressed over time to achieve accessibility. Concerns for safety are not addressed in the literature as a mitigating circumstance relieving municipalities of resl~onsibility for compliance. In summary, staff is planning on improving the above mentioned park sites to be in compliance with ADA. It is anticipated that all of our parks will be handicapped accessible by June 30, 1996. Further, staff will address specific access and programming issues as required tO expand recreational opportunities for as many as possible. ITEM NO. 4 CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: April 10, 1995 SUBJECT: Santa Margarita River and Creeks Celebration PREPARED BY: Phyllis L. Ruse, Senior Management Analyst--~I~/ RECOMMENDATION: Creeks Celebration. Receive and file report concerning the Santa Margarita River and BACKGROUND: The City of Temecula has joined together with the Union for e River ' Greenbelt Environment, the Nature Conservancy, and the Elsinore-Murrieta-Anza Resource Conservation District to co-sponsor the Santa Margarita River and Creeks Celebration Day on April 23, 1995. The event is designed to support and celebrate the protection of our rivers and creeks while focusing on educating citizens on the natural riches of the Santa Margarita Watershed. April has been named "Keep California Beautiful" month and April 22, 1995 is the 25th anniversary of national "Earth Day". The Celebration is being held in observance of these events with the aim of encouraging civic participation in preserving and enjoying the unique beauty of our environment for now and future generations.

The co-sponsoring organizations would like to take this opportunity to applaud and thank the many volunteers, local businesses, and other community groups who have donated their time and talents towards the success of the Santa Margarita River and Creeks Celebration. We would also like to invite the Community Services Commissioners, their families and all interested people to a fun and informative day at the Temecula Community Recreation Center on Sunday, April 23, 1995 between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. and help us celebrate our rivers and creeks. ITEM NO. 5 CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: April 10, 1995 SUBJECT: First Annual Temecula Clean Up Day PREPARED BY: Phyllis L. Ruse, Senior Management Analys't~~''/ RECOMMENDATION: Clean Up Day. Receive and file report concerning the First Annual Temecula BACKGROUND: On May 6, 1995, the City of Temecula will be hosting its first annual "Clean Up Day" in cooperation with the Riverside County Waste Resources' Management District and our franchised heuler, Temecula Environmental. These events are sponsored throughout the County as a service to residents and as a deterrent to illegal dumping. The City will provide three drop off locations; the County parking lot at County Center Drive near the library, the Temecula Town Association paring lot on Pujol in Old Town, and the parking lot near the tennis courts at Temecula Valley High School. Clean Up Day will run concurrently with the semi-annual Household Hazardous Waste Round Up which will be held at the Temecula Valley High School. The event will be held on Saturday, May 6, 1995 between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The event will be open to all City of Temecula residents. Residents are encouraged to clean out their garages, attics and closets and are able to dispose of their waste at no cost to them. This is a handy way to dispose of those items that have accumulated over time and are too large for the normal trash recepticles serviced each week. The County landfills support city Clean Up Days by waiving tipping fees at the landfills for those loads generated by the Clean Up. The County no longer accepts metal at the landfills, so anyone needing to dispose of washing machines, dryers, and other metal items may call Temecula Environmental at 1 °800- 755-8112to schedule an individual pick up at no additional cost.
