(i.e., proposed fencing); and noted the impodance of planting trees along the trails for

At this time the Commission heard public comments.
Mr. John Hoagland, 40481 Calle Fiesta, noted his attendance at both of the community
workshops; relayed his concern regarding the trails, which include private property on
the trails mapping, recommending that this issue be discussed with the City Attorney
before determining whether these routes on private property will be denoted.
Ms. Ellen Ellish, 30470 Avenida Estrada, representing the Meadowview Homeowners
Association, requested that all of the trails that exist within the Meadowview private
common area be removed from the trails system, noting her concern regarding liability
issues with public use; and relayed her frustration with regard to the lack of notification
from the City regarding this agenda item, advising that she had requested to be advised
of any City meetings scheduled which were associated with this issue.
Providing clarification, Chairman Henz noted that there was no intent on the part of the
City to make public the use of the trails on private property, advising that they were
included in the plan for the purpose of indicating for the residents in these areas the
connection points with these existing paths, advising that if the Meadowview residents
preferred for these private trails to not be included in the document, these paths could be
removed from the mapping.
Concurring with Chairman Henz, Director of Community Services Parker reiterated that it
was not the City's intent to exhibit the trails in Meadowview as public areas, noting the
goal to create a comprehensive document; and reiterated that these trails could be
removed from the Master Plan.
In response, Ms. Ellish relayed her fear that if the private trails were denoted, public use
would increase; and for Chairman Henz, confirmed that the Meadowview residents
would prefer for the private trails to be removed from the plan.
Director of Community Services Parker requested that Ms. Ellish send a written letter
addressed to him requesting that the trails be removed from the Master Plan.
In response to Commissioner Hogan, Director of Community Services Parker relayed
that the project would most likely be constructed in phases, Mr. Holloway adding that if
R:CSC/minutes/121001 7
funding became available for a certain segment it would be prudent to construct that
portion even if it was part of an alternate phase.
For Commissioner Meyler, Development Services Administrator McCarthy noted that
she could provide him a copy of the large map that denoted the trails and bikeways
(which was referenced earlier in the meeting), advising that a smaller version had been
included in the agenda material.
Regarding the funding of the project, for Commissioner Yorke, Director of Community
Services Parker relayed that the City had received a grant for approximately $1.2 million,
which will be administered by the Public Works Department and would be utilized for
Segment lA Phase of the Master Plan.
For Commissioner Edwards, Mr. Holloway advised that while the scope of the project did
not include GIS analysis, that the City could most likely generate this data due to the City
having GIS mapping technicians on staff.
In response to Commissioner Yorke's question, Mr. Holloway advised that if the
Meadowview residents were not desirous of the public utilizing their trails, it would be his
recommendation that there be gating or patrolling.
MOTION: Commissioner Meyler moved to recommend that the Multi-use Trails and
Bikeways Master Plan be approved subject to the removal of the Meadowview trails. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Hogan and voice vote reflected unanimous
approval.

Vail Ranch Park Site "C" Master Plan
PREPARED BY:
Phyllis L. Ruse, Deputy Director of Community Services
RECOMMENDATION:
Park Site "C" Master Plan.
That the Community Services Commission approve the Vail Ranch
BACKGROUND: On July 1, 2001, the successful annexation of the Vail Ranch
community to the City of Temecula was accomplished. Vail Ranch has three improved parks and
one unimproved park site that is being used as a temporary interim fire station site. Upon
annexation, these parks became the responsibility of the Temecula Community Services District
(TCSD).
Park Site "C" is located on Regina Drive, just west of and adjacent to Pauba Elementary School.
The park is 2.285 acres in size. Currently, the site is improved with turf, some landscaping, a
drinking fountain, trash receptacle and bench.
With annexation, the TCSD assessed Park Site "C" and included improvements for the park in the
Five Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the site. The improvement project is funded
through the CIP this liscal year.
TCSD entered into a design agreement with RHA Landscape Architects- Planners, inc. (RHA) to
prepare a conceptual plan and construction documents for park improvements at Park Site "C". The
proposed design elements include age-appropriate tot lots, two picnic shelters with picnic tables,
park seating, drinking fountain, and additional trees.
Staff believes that these improvements will be inviting and add to the community's enjoyment of the
park, providing amenities that are equivalent to similar City parks. Park signage will be added at a
later date. It is anticipated that the TCSD will solicit input and recommendations from the Vail Ranch
residents for names for all three improved parks in their area. Those recommendations will be
brought forward to the Community Services Commission and appropriate signage will be installed at
the parks when the names have been approved.

Capital Improvement Funding Mechanisms
PREPARED BY:
Phyllis L. Ruse, Deputy Director of Community Services
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file report concerning funding mechanisms available to
fund Community Service District capital improvement projects.
BACKGROUND: The Community Services District uses several different funding
mechanisms to fund facility and park capital improvements. Following is a brief description of some
of the most used mechanisms employed by the Temecula Community Services District to fund our
projects.
Development Impact Fees (DIF): Development Impact Fees (DIF) are generated from new
development at the time building permits are pulled. DIF funding is broken into several
impact areas; park and recreation improvements, libraries, fire protection facilities, corporate
facilities, street system improvements, and traffic signals and traffic control systems.
All new residential development is subject to the park and recreation improvement
component of the DIF. Staff reviews and approves all developer park plans prior to
construction and accepts the dedication of completed facilities once they meet our
standards.
Quimbv Fees: New residential development within the City is required to provide five acres
of parkland per 1,000 residents to be generated from their development. The requirement
may be satisfied by the actual dedication of land or payment of in lieu fees, at the sole
discretion of the Director of Community Services. City staff conditions residential
developments to meet these requirements. Fees collected in lieu of dedicated parks may be
used for acquisition or development of new parks.
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG): The County Economic Development
Agency administers the CDBG program for the Federal government in Riverside County.
The City is allocated a percentage of the County's total annual entitlement each year. Of
that amount, 15% must be distributed to private organizations to provide service programs to
the community and 85% for City public service construction projects. The requests must
qualify in one of three categories: 1) primary benefit to Iow and moderate income persons, 2)
prevention or elimination of slums and blight, and 3) documented health or safety condition
of particular urgency.
R:~RUSEP~AGENDAS~FUNDING.CSC.doc
In the current CiP, the TCSD has approval for the following projects to be funded or partially
funded with CDBG funds:
Mary Phillips Senior Center Expansion Project.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Improvements at Temecula Middle School and
Rancho California Sports Parks ball fields.
This year the TCSD has submitted a CDBG application to fund a gymnasium adjacent to
Rotary Park and the Boys and Girls Club in Old Town. This project would be funded over a
three-year period. The facility will be available for joint use to accommodate Community
Services programs, as well as Boys and Girls Club activities.
Donations: On occasion, TCSD receives donations from various groups and individuals for
specific purposes. For example, in the past the CRC Foundation contributed $300,000 to
the equipping and furnishing of the Community Recreation Center, $100,000 for the roller
hockey rink at the skate park, and $10,000 for a shade covering to be installed at the skate
park. Recently, the Temecula Valley Women's Club made a contribution of $10,000 toward
the construction of the Imagination Workshop, the Temecula Children's Museum.
Temecula Valley Museum, Inc. contributes funds on an on-going basis toward display cases
and other improvements at the Temecula Valley Museum.
Each year during the Capital Improvement Program process, TCSD identifies the projects
staff envision completing in the upcoming fiscal year and subsequent years along with
estimates of the costs of completion. The Community Services Commission reviews and the
City Council approves all capital projects and allocates funding based on overall City
prioritization.
