The group was asked to locate potential sites, review rules, hours of operation, staffing level, identify equipment needs and ways to advertise the program. Members of the Task Force include Sandra Dodge and Nick Seroff, Pazks and Recreation Commissioners, Joan Pisani and Taffy Lowery, City staff, Abhik Pramanik, Andy Miller, and James Atkins, Youth Commissioners, Brian Butcher, interested community member, Kathryn Picanco, SUSD Differentiation Specialist, Albert Chiang, Grant Simon, and Brian Dodge, students. Staff surveyed neazby cities to get more information on their skate pazk facilities. All cities surveyed view their skate parks as playground equipment and they do not charge entrance fees. Only two agencies, the City of Campbell and Los Altos, provide staff supervision when the pazk is open. Attached you will-find two skate park surveys. One is a City of Piedmont statewide survey of 116 agencies, and the other, completed by our staff, is a more detailed survey of neighboring cities. The Task Force identified all potential skate park sites in Sazatoga, and members made visits to each location. Contacts were made and forms completed indicating whether or not the site would be viable for the skate pazk on a rotating basis. Also, Richard Taylor, the City Attorney, and Marcus Beverly, the ABAG Risk Manager, were contacted to provide liability information and to assure us that the skate pazk site would have insurance coverage. The students on the Task Force from Redwood Middle School, along with their advisor, compiled a survey and the Principal allowed it to be distributed to all 900 students during the school day. When asked if a portable skate pazk is a good idea for Sazatoga, 690 said yes. Of those, 393 responded that they would use the skate park. When asked about an t~ entrance fee to use the park, 522 students feel it should be free, 145 would pay $25 fora season, 118 would pay $50 per season and 179 felt they would be willing to make a donation. Current Potential Locations Listed below are locations that aze still being considered as options. 1. Parking lot in front of City Hall, across from the Warner Hutton House. 2. Parking lot behind city, hall by the preschool. 3. Pakking lot between the Community Center and the Corporation Yard 4. Congress Springs Park, end of faz pazking lot 5. Prospect High School 6. Redwood Middle School 7. Foothill School 8. Argonaut School ~~ 9. St Andrews 10. Blue Hills School p ,,,,a~ ~ 11. West Valley College ~ (,~ Every site listed above has issues that need to be resolved before space can be utilized. Very few have restrooms available on weekends or late in the day. There is not one non- city owned location listed above that could accommodate the skate park for a month long period. Some only have space available on weekends, and some only weekdays. The schools and churches want the city to assume all liability and insurance. They are also concerned about damage to their campus, trash, and outside users. Equipment Needs Ball Hitch Ramps Mobile Skate Pazk: $21,000 This portable skate pazk needs the space of two tennis courts, which is over 14,000 sq. ft. To purchase enough portable fencing to secure this equipment each night would cost over $11,000. If the skate pazk rotates weekly, 48 10 ft x 5 ft sections of fencing would need to be transported and set up/taken down at a new location each time. If a restroom facility is needed, one porta potty could be rented and the cost is $95 per month. The unit would be serviced weekly, but the city would have to be responsible for moving it, if desired. TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS Logistics It is the recommendation of the Task Force that the skate pazk be rotated weekly to a new location. It is requested that a Park Maintenance worker transport the locked portable skate park to the designated site, It is not being recommended to purchase portable fencing, because it would be very labor intensive to put it up and take it down every week at a different location. Daily, during the operating period, a part time person will arrive at the site one half hour early to unlock and set up the park. Another staff person will work the second half of the shift, close the facility and chain lock the units together. At the end of the two to six day period, the Park Maintenance worker will hitch the skate pazk up to his truck and transport it back to the Corporation Yard until it is to be relocated to another site. Staffing Level/Hours of Operation The Task Force's recommended hours of operation are listed below. The cost associated with having one staffperson on duty during open hours, is also provided. Summer Hours Monday through Saturday from 1 lam to 6 pm: $7000 School Year Hours Saturday 11 am to 5 or 6 pm and Sunday 12 noon to 5 pm: $6400 School Holidays and Special Events 90 hours: $1200 Total Yearly Staff Expense $14,600 Rules The Task Force was asked tv recommend skate park rules. In reviewing the signage at other facilities, the group felt those fram the cities of Daly City and Santa Cruz were good. Attached you will find copies of the rules posted on their signs. Advertising The Task Force reconunended several ways to get the word out to participants. If the skate park is rotated weekly, there are several ways to publicize. Some suggestions are the city web page, the Youth Commissioner's web page, a dedicated city phone line with updated information, the Saratoga News, fliers at the site each week, and school announcements and postings. Revenue The Task Force could not reach a consensus on a recommendation for fees. Most members felt that no entrance fees should be charged. Some felt that donations could be solicited to help cover expenses. Others felt that seasonal or yeazly memberships could be sold in advance at the Community Center. For example, if 200 people bought a summer memberships for $25, this would generate $5000. The Task Force members will be at the meeting on March 12~` to answer questions and receive further direction. Attachments I . City of Sazatoga Skate Pazk Facility Survey 2.

This mobile skate pazk is designed to set up in 30 minutes or less with one adult as a minimum and is designed to pack up into a pazking stall when not used. The main ramp piece is a steel fun box that acts as a trailer and will store the rest of the skate pieces when packed up. The rest of the ramps aze to be made of composite providing maximum strength with minimum weight. Each composite ramp weighs between 70- 90 lbs and is modularly designed to create any number of creative combinations. The composite makeup is a polyester resign that is W resistant and has a Kevlaz core for added strength. Pictured below is what a ~~-~~chme:~~ 3 Ball Hitch Ramps suggests that the City of Saratoga invests in our standard double rail fun box as shown below. The design is well proven and has been used in many events with both beginners and pro's. center platform and stairs. Lastly, BHR suggests some accessories to round out the skate park. These consist of grind rails, grind boxes and kicker ramps. Price bmak down is as follows: Description Unit Price Quantity Total 1. Steel Fun Box Trailer $7,500 1 $7,500 2.

REPORT SUMMARY: AB 2863 (Longville, Thomson; Coauthors: Speier, Daucher) Housing Element Reform Bill has been introduced at the request of the League and CSAC. The introduced version of the legislation declares legislative intent regarding the development and adoption of local housing elements to enact legislating to accomplish the following: • Address issues involving the development of regional housing need projections. • Resolve issues and problems associated with the distribution of regional housing needs within a council of governments. • Clarify and improve the housing element review process. • Develop a neutral dispute resolution process and fair enforcement alternatives to deal with disputes over questions of compliance. • Develop fiscal tools and incentives to assist local governments in their efforts to encourage housing and finance the infrastructure to support housing, as well as establish an ongoing state commitment to funding affordable housing. • Require state laws and policies that affect housing and land use to be internally consistent. • Establish additional legal protections to local agencies that approve affordable housing and that establish local proactive affordable housing policies. In addition, the bffl establishes a definition of "residential unit" and "substantial compliance" under the law, and contains additional intent language that acknowledges some of the difficulties local governments face in promoting development of additional housing. AB 2863, in its current version is simply an initial vehicle for a potential comprehensive housing element reform proposal. Local governments spent much energy last year in opposing SB 910 (Dunn), which proposed fines and penalties, imposed presumptions of non-validity on local housing elements, when there .was a disagreement with the state over the interpretation of the law, and threatened to hold local gas tax revenues (or possibly VIF) revenues hostage unfit a local government capitulated to the desires of state plan reviewers. Over 280 cities sent letters opposing that bill. Now is the chance for cities to write letters advocating for what we stand for in terms of housing element reform. _The principles for reform listed above, reflect the key issues that the League, CSAC, Cal COG, and the American Plaiming Association are jointly advocating for in the current negotiations in the legislative working group chaired by Assembly Member Lowenthal (Chair, Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee), Assembly Member Wiggins (Chair, Assembly Local Government Committee). Although negotiations so far have been productive, the final outcome of these discussions remains unclear. In addition to the anticipated threats during the negotiations by the SB 910 proponents to move this punitive legislation, a January 23, memo, jointly-authored by Assembly Members Alan Lowenthal, Patricia Wiggins, and Senator Dunn; established a May deadline for the legislative housing element working group. The memo states, "We prefer that Legislation coming out of this worhinggroup be the product of consensus. However, we want to make it clear that if the working group is unable to reach consensus or continues to be delayed, the three of us wiii work on our own to move Legislation thisyear." In this charged legislative environment, the League and other local government groups will remain active in good-faith negotiations in the working group; however, should the discussions break down, local government groups need to preserve our options to place a comprehensive housing element reform proposal in front of the Assembly Local Government and Housing Committees. FISCAL IMPACTS: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with supporting the legislation. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): None ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): 1. Oppose the AB 2863 2.

C6GISLATiV~ COUNSEL'S pIGEST AB 2863, as introduced, Longville. Land use: housing element. The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a general plan for land use development that includes, among other things, a housing element. It also requires the Department of Housing and Community Aevelopmont to determine the regional share of the statewide housing need, as specified, and for each council of governments to determine the existing and projected housing need for its region. Existing ]aw includes various findings and declarations regarding the cooperative participation of government at al] levels and the private sector to accomodate the housing needs of Cal ifomia. This bill would define residential unit and substantial compliance for purposes of the housing element requirements. This bill would make additional findings and declarations regarding regional housing needs. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fisca] committee: no.
