Rev. 05/02/1992 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING Date: (_ NAME ADDRESS C�w j t 19 April 1992 Mr. Stephen G. Dowling Director of Parks and Recreation City of Cupertino 10300 Torre Ave. Cupertino. CA 95014 Dear Mr. Dowling The members of the De Anza Youth Soccer League would like to express our appreciation for the continuing help of you, your staff, and the City of Cupertino in providing the field space and upkeep that is absolutely essential to our soccer program. Without access to your facilities, we literally would not be able to provide the quality youth soccer program enjoyed by this community. The responses we recently received to a series of special requests made in order for us to host the California Youth Soccer Association's State Cup competition at lolleyman Park and the Cupertino Library soccer field typify the kind of generous support we have enjoyed for many years. It seems that in the weeks leading up to the competition we were continually on the phone asking for this tree to be trimmed, that set of goals to be put up. and those holes to be filled. I'm sure that the efforts of many people were involved but some specific ones that come to mind are those of Don McCarthy and Chris Beth in making sure that the fields were ready, the cheerful, enthusiastic responses of Joe Moore and his coworkers in actually getting the work accomplished, and your continued personal involvement in providing the services we need. As a result, the State Cup competition was a tremendous success (incidentally, all four DYSL teams advanced to the next round) and many people commented on the beautiful lolleyman facility. On a related issue, we have been closely following the progress of the partnership between the City of Cupertino and the Cupertino Union School District to modify and upgrade the playing fields and sports facilities at eight school sites in Cupertino. The genuine attention being paid to the needs and concerns of youth sports organizations is extremely heartening and we look forward eagerly to the completion of this project. We realize that your personal contributions to the process have been enormous and wanted you to know that they are appreciated. Again, thank you for all your assistance and please pass on our thanks to all the other people who have helped make our program a success. Sincerely yours, 4 Ric Nel" son President. De Anza Youth Soccer League cc: Lauralee Sorensen, Mayor City Council, City of Cupertino ' O F C L'P f G O n r 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino, CA 95014 408 2524505 Summary Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda Item Number 7 Agenda Date May 7. 1992 SUBJECT AND ISSUE Discussion and recommendation of plans for renovation and improvement of the Kennedy and Hyde school grounds. BACKGROUND The City of Cupertino and Cupertino Union School District has entered into an agreement for the improvement of eight school grounds within the City of Cupertino. The firm of Beals Landscape Architecture has been contracted to prepare the eight master plans and a task force committee has been designated to coordinate the planning effort. The Task Force Committee is comprised of the following: Dick Lohmiller Parks and Recreation Commission Steve Dowling Director of Parks and Recreation Bert Viskovich Director of Public Works Don McCarthy Recreation Supervisor Chuck Corr Director of Business Support Services - CUSD O.E. Fullerton Cupertino Union School District Rich Matthews Cupertino Union School District Mark McGee Cupertino National Little League Bob Jackens Youth Sports Soccer Having received input from the youth sports organizations and school physical education representatives, and after conducting two neighborhood meetings at each of the school sites, the task force is recommending the attached renovation plans for Kennedy and Hyde Junior High School. The purpose of the renovation is to maximize the school grounds to enhance utilization by the school population as well as serve youth sports needs after school. The improvement and renovation of eight school grounds is obviously a very ambitious undertaking and we are in the first phase of that effort by master planning each of the sites. It is expected that the implementation (construction) of these master plans will occur over the next two to three years. It is evident at this point in the planning process that sufficient funds may not be available in the near term to complete the full master plan for all eight sites. Although it is important to complete the planning phase and do the long range master plan for each of the schools, the landscape architect is also preparing an implementation plan which phases in the impro%ernents in order to respond to the budgetary limitations. Attached for your review is a copy of the following: 1. Kennedy Junior High School long range master plan. (EXHIBIT A) 2. Kennedy Junior High School implementation plan. (EXHIBIT B) 3. Hyde Junior High School long range master plan. (EXHIBIT C) 4. Hyde Junior High School implementation plan. (EXHIBIT D) A list of imenities that is to be provided at each of the sites is indicated in the right hand column on each plan. Mr. Jay Beals, Landscape Architect, will be on hand at the Commission meeting, Thursday night to present the plans. 'rr,r.. A" t Father. AteYGr.

S Agenda Date May 7 1992 SUBJECT AND ISSUE Discussion and recommendation for a general plan policy statement regarding a gymnasium/pool facility. BACKGROUND As we continue the General Plan review, it occurred to me that the Commission should consider adding a policy statement relative to the desirability of a City owned gymnasium and pool facility. As the Commission is aware, there is long term master plan committee working on a series of recommendations about the ultimate development of the 6.2 acre Sports Center sight in the Memorial Park complex. Just as the current general plan had a statement expressing the desirability of acquiring a community center, it would be appropriate for the update to indicate the desirability of the City acquiring a gymnasium and pool. Certainly, there are a number of considerations and constraints regarding such an idea; for example funding, location, and scope. It is certainly the opinion of the Master Plan Committee that a City owned gymnasium/pool complex is desirable. So the question is, should this general plan revision include a policv statement expressing that objective. Of i U P E o n K N♦ 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino, CA 95014 Summary Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda Item Number 9 Agenda Date May 7 1992 SUBJECT AND ISSUE Consider investigating creation of a Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation. BACKGROUND At the regularly scheduled meeting of April 20, the City Council did adopt the Parks and Recreation Commission's work plan for '92-'93. One of the items on that work plan is establishment of commercial sponsorship and nonprofit foundations to support recreation events and facilities. Commissioner Condon is spear heading this particular item. He has prepared a brief summary of the goal and benefits of establishing a nonprofit public benefit corporation. His comments are attached for your review. At this point we are seeking direction from the Commission to proceed with investigating this concept and possibly preparing a model to bring back for Commission action. Commission is not at this point, approving the concept, but rather simply directing that the concept be studied. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Parks and Recreation Commission direct that the concept of a nonprofit public benefit corporation be investigated and reported back to the Commission. POLICY FOR CORPORATE AND PR VATE SECTOR SUPPORT OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES OF THE CITY OF CUPERT I NO Goal To accept and solicit funds, material, services from interest groups that may include Corporations, small business, and individuals. The donations and grant will be administered and distributed by a non-profit public benefit corporation ( 501 c ) whos intent is to assist in improving and promotinq public parks, open space and recreation services in the city of Cupertino. A relationship between the non profit corporation and the deptartment and the deptartment of Park and Recreation should be formally recognized by the City This would allow the corporation to expand its efforts and provide benefits to the city with the aid of support services provided by the deptartment( Aggreement for Provision of Services) c BENEFITS OF A NON PROFIT PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION SUPPORTING THE PARK AND RECREATION SERVICES OF CUPERTINO i Allows a v -nicle to solicit funds, donations and services from the private sector for use in park, open space and recreation service improvements and maintainance With the City slashing Park and Recreation Budget, a supplement to existing funds could prevent cutting back on programs and services. examples Of some sources of private sector contributions I sponsorship of events or improvements in favor of private sector exposure, may be partially tax deductible 2 donations of money or supplies, tax deductible 3 bequests and gifts, tax deductible a volunteer services Organizes and mobilizes volunteer pool . 3 Allows a vehicle for special interest groups, Affiliated Group Membership, to utilize support services for fund raising purposes 4 Allows for savings of existing park and recreation budqet in some cases, ie non profit mai 1 ings 5.
