City is not honoring promise Youth have no places to practice play games Youth in early teens have no place to go in Saratoga, organized sports gives them something to do. Being treated unfairly by the City El Quito is a community park and should be available for usage by all groups, both organized and casual. o Improved communication needed with City and other groups. o City turns its back on teenagers. Common Goals and potential benefits of improving park: o Play equipment upgrades with more swings, upgraded picnic areas, new drinking fountains and overall beautification. o Repair poor irrigation of fields improve existing turf areas o Restore sand volleyball area. Improve parking Keep community gardens, create walking path, new par course, more police code enforcement. Balance park usage-keep non-Saratoga's out.

Find a place for Pony League Baseball to practice and play games. o Find a place for C.Y.S.A. soccer to practice. Conduct a traffic study of neighborhood around park.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:29 p.m. Prepared By: Cary Bloomquist, Staff Liaison September 19,2001 Mr. Cary Bloomquist, StaffLiaison Parks and Recreation Commission City of Saratoga 13777 FruitvaleAvenue Saratoga, California 95070 Dear Mr. Bloomquist, In response to your letter dated September 5,2001, I would like to update you on the progress of my comm.itment to the realignment, reroute and installation of a new trail easement on my property here in Saratoga. After the meeting on May 7,2001, in which the Parks and Recreation Committee accepted my reroute proposal, I asked Teri Baron for assistance in finding one or more potential contractors who could in fact, reroute and build the new trail. This course was taken after several of my own attempts failed at Snding someone who was interested or qualified to do the work. Teri was very helpful in getting Donald Hays of Trail Contractor Inc., to view the site and submit a bid to me on 6/25/2001. I have attached the bid proposal for your reference. After reviewing the bids, I contacted N1r. Hays to discuss the details of these bids, and to set up a meeting to actually walk the property, which was initially not done, and to propose options which would be potentially less costly, but still meet the requirement of building a trail to existing standards. At that time, he agreed to meet with me and re-look at the bid, but that he had commitments which would keep him fully booked through the beginning of October. He agreed that we would follow up in early October to move forward in the assessment, re-bid, and building of this trail. I made an additional attempt, after my discussion with Mr. Hays, to find an alternative contractor in the eazly July time frame, but was unsuccessfiil in this effort. Mr. Hays represents the best possibility at this time, and I intend to have him do the work after our discussion, and re-bid, in October. It has been extremely difficu�t to find contractors who are interested and or are qualified to do this work. Nevertheless, it is my intention and commitment to execute on my obligation as soon as possible, preferably before the end of this year. If the Pazks and Recreation Committee has any ideas, or alternative solutions, I would be very grateful and most hap o entertain them Sin ly yours, Ste n Haynes 221 1 Villa Oaks Lane Saratoga CA 95070 I�, TRAIL CONTRACTOR.

Trail section is adjacent to hillside and a creek (figure 2, figure 3) This section of trail does not have anything to do with the section regardina the water tower Inconsistent signs on trail. Signs contradict one another Parking at Fremont Older is not practical. Country club is not responsible for damaged cars in parking lot due to golf balls. (Example: figure 10 and figure 11) Many bicyclists ride from their home to Fremont Older because it is conveniently located Please take the time to go look for yourself For more detailed pictures and information, please visit: http://www.lug.calpoly.edu/—eskim/pazkerranchtrail.html Arial Shots of Parker Ranch Road Figure 1: Parker Ranch Road with views of both secrions of Parker Ranch Loop Trail Lower Section Parker Ranch Loop Trrail Stelling Rd.

The following is a breakdown: o Over 350 pounds of trash collected (80 of it being recyclable) Over 3 miles of creek channels cleaned Participants ranged from age 3— over 70, with several Boy Scout Troops joining in the effort, with our own outgoing PRC Commissioner Judy Alberts collecting a couple bags.

We should all be proud of ourselves: We had 21 sites countywide. And the trend continued. We had a record-breaking 1,120 volunteers (we usually have around 1,000 for the fall) and we picked up 45,610 pounds of trash and 10,520 pounds of recyclables! That's more than 22 tons of trash that won't find its way� into San Francisco or Monterey bays. Click on this website for more details: www.cleanacreek.org/ccdOlresults.htm So, WELL DONE, everyone! Just a few housekeeping items: 1) We are compiling the evaluation responses for use in planning next year's cleanups. Plus, we need your sign in sheets so we can add those folks to our mailing list. Please send your evaluations and sign in sheets to Ed Morales, SCVWD, 5750 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, 95118, by Oct. Sth. For your convenience, my address is also printed on both documents. 2) Similarly, if you have receipts for which you need to be reimbursed, please send them also to Ed at the above address by Oct. Sth. It's important that you turn those receipts in, if you have any. 3) This spring, we will begin planning for this year's National River Cleanup Day on May 18, 2002. You will be contacted again about being a site coordinator. Your ability and enthusiasm helped us so much this fall, we'd love to have you back in the spring! All of the supplies from this cleanup will be used again in the fall, so please just hold on to them until then. Page 2 of 2 liiitil tlieil, I will be in touch with you before Natioiial River Cleariup Day. 4) If you have any comments or questions for us regarding your cleanup experience, please feel free to contact Ed Morales at (408) 265-2607 ext. 2880, or Liz Neves at (408) 277-4477. Again, THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS on a very successful Coastal Cleanup Day! Sincerely, Ed Morales Public Information Representative, SCVWD Adopt-A-Creek Coordinator Member, CCAG
