Approved by: L David A. Bass Interim Budget Officer P -A - R, K TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: David A. Bass, Interim Budget Officer DATE: .tune 20, 2007 SUBJECT: Establish Appropriation Limit for Fiscal Year 2007 -2008 This Report recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing the City's appropriation limit for Fiscal Year 2007 -2008 as required by State Law. BACKGROUND Article XIII.B of the California State Constitution specifies that appropriations made by State and local governments may increase annually by a factor comprised of the change in populations combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the change in the local assessment roll due to local non- residential construction, whichever is greater. DISCUSSION Data provided by the State Department of Finance indicates that the change in per capita personal income is 4.42% over last year and the population change over last year is 0.22 %. These factors combined will increase the City's annual appropriation limit to $55,115,280 for Fiscal Year 2007 -2008. Although the law authorizes the City to spend up to this amount from the proceeds of taxes, the Fiscal Year 2007 -2008 budget proposes to appropriate only 44% of this allowable limit. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution setting the City's appropriation limit for Fiscal Year 2007 -2008 at $55,115,280. ATTACHMENTS 1.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park does hereby resolve as follows: SECTION 1. The Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year 2007 -2008 has been determined to be $55,115,280 and was prepared using the change in California's Per Capita personal income price factor of 4.42% and the City population increase of 0.22 %, as provided by the State Department of Finance, pursuant to Sections 2227 and 2228 of the Revenue and Taxation Codes, calculation as of January 2007.

CITY OF BALDWIN PARK ) I, Rosemary M. Gutierrez, Chief Deputy City Clerk of the City of Baldwin Park, do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was duly and regularly approved and adopted by the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park at an adjourned regular meeting of the City Council on the 20th day of June, 2007, by the following vote: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: ABSTAIN: COUNCILMEMBERS: ROSEMARY M. GUTIERREZ, CIVIC CHIEF DEPUTY CITY CLERK P , A - R - K TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: David A. Bass, Interim Budget Officer DATE: June 20, 2007 SUBJECT: MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with a monthly financial report for the period ended May 31, 2007. BACKGROUND The City's Fiscal Accountability Policy requires that a monthly financial report be presented to the City Council. DISCUSSION The Monthly Financial Report provides the City Council and staff with report as to the budgetary status each month. Attached is the monthly financial report for the period ended May 31, 2007. There are two pages for revenues (one for general fund and one for all other funds) and two pages for expenditures, one page by category, and one page by department. The "remaining" columns indicate the amount to be received in the case of revenues or the amount not yet spent for expenditures. If the category or department were spending or receiving revenue in equal amounts each month then the remaining percentage would be 8 %. Revenues Both the General Fund and the Non - General funds are performing as expected and as projected in the Mid Year Budget Review, however, it does appear that sales tax maybe lower than budgeted. During April, the City received the annual franchise fee payments from Edison and the Gas Company, and that revenue category will be slightly over budget for the fiscal year. Property taxes and intergovernmental revenue (primarily the property tax component of vehicle license fees) will now exceed the budgeted revenues. Sales tax does not appear to be quite as positive when compared to other Page 2 major revenues and budget, and it appears to be under budget. Other revenue of the general fund is lower than expected; due to the court including red light camera revenue in with other traffic fine revenue, (traffic fine revenue is in other funds). That revenue shows an increase, but it likely will not equal the additional revenue estimated in the budget for the red light camera. The payments to the RedFlex system provider offset a portion of the additional revenue. Overall revenues in the General Fund are expected to be slightly over the budget. Expenditures by Category Expenditures, except for capital, tend to occur on an equal monthly basis. The year to date for Personnel, which occurs on a bi- weekly basis, is slightly under budget than what is expected. This is due to full -time employee vacancies (in March there were 25 vacancies, not including the frozen positions). Since several of these vacancies will not be filled until June or later, there will be additional one -time personnel savings in FY 2006 -07. It is expected that the expenditures for the General Fund will be less than budgeted. Expenditures by Department Most departments have expenditures less than expected and are performing as outlined in the Mid Year Budget Review. FISCAL IMPACT None RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the monthly financial report for the period ended May 31, 2007.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Rosemary M. Gutierrez, Chief Deputy City Cler June 20, 2007 REQUEST TO REMOVE CITY'S OPPOSITION TO SB 964 (ROMERO) FOCAL AGENCIES This report requests that the City Council consider approving a Letter of Neutrality pertaining to the approval of SB 964 the Romero Local Agencies Senate Bill. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION At its meeting of May 2, 2007, the City Council directed staff to prepare and submit a letter of opposition of SB 964 (Romero). At that time, Councilmember Olivas declared no position on this matter. It should be noted that since that action, the League of California Cities and other municipalities have taken a neutral position on SB 964, after originally opposing the measure. The bill's initial language severely limited communication between city councils outside of an open and public meeting. The change to a neutral position is before you at the request of Senator Gloria Romero and is a result of amendments that made SB 964's language clearer and specific in scope. The changes are a significant improvement for cities, specifically, the amendments ensure that all city staff can continue to properly communicate with their governing body to clarify, understand or define an item that will come before the City Council as long as: 1) those meetings do not come to a concurrence on an issue; nor do they, 2) take action on an item that is to be discussed during a public agendized meeting. A number of city officials stepped up with a quick response on this bill, as did the League of California Cities regional public affairs managers. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends City Council to send a letter to Senator Romero expressing the Council's position of Neutrality on SB 964 as amended.

Initially, we were concerned that the bill as amended on April 9 would have had the practical impact of shutting down communication between elected officials and the staff they rely on for unbiased information. This would have seriously impeded the ability of local elected officials to govern efficiently and responsively. The May 2nd amendments to the bill remove the prohibition on communications between staff and elected officials while retaining the current Brown Act prohibition on serial meetings. We appreciate your willingness to work with the concerned stakeholders to develop amendments to the bill and are pleased to drop our opposition.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Manuel Carrillo Jr., Director of Recreation & Community Servi June 20, 2007 Approval of Comprehensive Park Master Plan The purpose of this staff report is to present the City Council a final version of the Comprehensive Park Master Plan for the Recreation and Community Services Department. BACKGROUND In 2003, staff applied and received a competitive grant from the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy ( "RMC "). The RMC is a state funded agency dedicated to maintainingopen space within the San Gabriel Valley and approved a $50,000 matching grant for the Cityto produce a park master plan with passive park elements. The City agreed with the RMC to fund the remaining active elements of the Comprehensive Park Master Plan ` Since Baldwin Park is very deficient in open park space, the RMC indicated that they are fully committed to assist the City in pursuing and developing passive park opportunities. The Department currently has $120,000 available for the Comprehensive Park Master Plan, which includes $50,000 from the RMC, $30,000 in CDBG monies, and $40,000 from Redevelopment funds. As in previous experience with State grants, money from the RMC will be available on a reimbursable basis. On July 20, 2005, City Council approved a contract with Moore lacofano Goltsman, Incorporated (MIG). MIG's experience spans over 25 years and has completed over 50 park master plans across the Western United States. MIG has also assessed park and facility condition needs in over 60 communities. One of MIG's most recent local projects includes the San Gabriel River Master Plan for the Los Angeles County Public Works Department. Work on the Comprehensive Park Master started in November 2005. Since then, MIG has made several trips to Baldwin Park to conduct two public input meetings, met one on one with City Council, met with the Recreation and Community Services Commission and interviewed key stakeholders as well as tour and review recreation facilities, parks and programs. DISCUSSION At their April 18, 2007 City Council meeting, an MIG representative gave a short presentation showcasing highlights from the Comprehensive Park Master Plan as well as collect feedback from the City Council. Responses from this presentation were productive and allowed the Consultant to develop a version ready for final approval. In order to complete the final version of the Comprehensive Park Master Plan, MIG completed several tasks to collect and analyze data. From December 2006 through May 2006, over 1,100 recreation questionnaires were returned from youth and adults in Baldwin Park providing insight into recreational preferences. In May 2006, a random telephone survey to over 400 residents was completed. A needs assessment was conducted in June 2006 and draft site master plans were created in July 2006. Throughout the planning process, MIG submitted five (5) discussion papers for Council and staff review beginning in January 2006 which continued through January 23,2007 with a draft version of the Comprehensive Park Master Plan given to Council for examination and comment. In this final Comprehensive Master Plan, MIG presents four (4) key vision concepts which are: Health and Wellness; Interconnected and Accessible; Diverse Opportunities; and Active and Passive Recreation of Everyday. The four (4) °major components structure eight - 7(8) goals that - integrate the four (4) vision concepts. Goals and recommendations were based on one on one interviews with City Council, interviewing the Recreation and Community Services Commission, responses from 'the telephone survey and questionnaires, site visits and a thorough 'needs assessment. Since the Comprehensive Park Master Plan is now complete, the City will be in a favorable position to secure future funding. Having a park master plan validates the City's commitment to create new recreational opportunities and improve on existing amenities. FISCAL IMPACT On July 20, 2005, the City Council approved a $120,000 contract with MIG. Monies forthe project have been budgeted for Fiscal Year 2005/2006 through the Redevelopment Agency which budgeted $40,000, Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) designated $30,000 and the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy under Proposition 40 allocated $50,000 specifically for the passive element of the park master plan. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council to waive further reading and approve the Comprehensive Park Master Plan.

INTRODUCTION Chapter 1. introduction 1.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OVERVIEW Baldwin Park began the Comprehensive Park. and Recreation Plan process in November 2005 to establish a comprehensive blueprint for maintaining, updating, and expanding the City's part, and recreation system. The population of Baldwin Park continues to grow, placing an increasing demand on the City's recreation programming, parks, and limited land resources. The Comprehensive Parr and Recreation Plan will guide the City's park and recreation services for the next ten to twenty years. This Comprehensive Park and Recreation flan identifies a community- directed vision for Baldwin Park's park system and presents recommendations for achieving that vision. The plan inventories and evaluates existing park and recreation areas; assesses the need for additional park land, pathways, trails, and recreation facilities; identifies plans for specific park sites; establishes direction for operations and maintenance; and offers specific policies and recommendations to achieve the goals and objectives. 1.2 PLANNING PROCESS The planning process for this comprehensive plan included four phases, as detailed below in Figure 1, Figure 1: Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Planning Process 11 'Neck 111 an Pl lv Plan 1 Analysrs As essrfaent Lievetoer� Rerieer�t }linter 2005 /Spring 2006 Summer 2006 Summer /Fall 2006 Fallrrter2006 Phase I - Analysis: In the initial stage of the project, a complete inventory of park and recreation resources in Baldwin Park was compiled. This information — along with additional data about the community such as demographics, population projections, climate, and land use patterns -- was analyzed and compared with neighboring communities, Los Angeles County, the State of California, and the United States. Phase IT - Needs Assessment: The Needs Assessment phase included gathering public input by: administering a community questionnaire and telephone survey; holding a community visioning Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 3 Chapter 1. Introduction inceting; conducting stakeholder interviews; gathering input from teens; and hosting a booth at a community concert. Community demand for park and recreation facilities and services was determined by incorporating community input into a level of service analysis. Levels of service (LOS) were recommended for active and passive recreationn amenities, then compared to the existing resources and both existing and projected populations. This analysis presented a clear picture of the current and future needs of the community. Phase III - Plan Development: During Phase III, the planning team used policy directions determined in Phases I and 11 and worked with the community and City staff to identify major directions for the plan, The consulting team synthesized all of this information to formulate goals, objectives, and specific recommendations into a plan framework, and then to develop an Administrative Draft Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan for staff review. Phase IV - Plan Approval: After the planning team refined the Administrative Draft based on City staff comments, the Draft Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan was reviewed by the City Council and approved. 1.3 PLANNING AREA The City of Baldwin Park is located within eastern Los Angeles County in the State of California. Baldwin Park is one of 88 incorporated cities within Los Angeles County and is bordered by the City of Irwindale to the north, northwest, and northeast; the Cite of F,1 Monte to the southwest; the City of La Puente to the south; and the City of West Covina to the southwest. The City of Baldwin Park is connected to the rest of Los Angeles County by the San Gabriel River freeway (Interstate 605) running along its western edge and the San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10), which divides the City's southern sector from the majority of the City. The San Gabriel. River Freeway parallels the San Gabriel River. The Santa Fe Flood Control Basin is located just north of Baldwin Park in the City of Irwindale. The primary planning area includes 6.7 square miles within the boundaries of Baldwin Park. From 2000 to 2005, the population of Baldv71'n Park increased by more than 7 percent. Despite no plans to expand the geographic area of Baldwin Park, the 2020 General Plan projects a build out with nearly 87,000 residents from a current population of 81,226. If this trend continues, the residential density will increase by 850 people per square mile between 2005 and 2020. This will create unique Page 44 W Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Chapter f . Introduction opportunities and constraints for future parks and recreation planning. The already urbanized Baldwin Park will become even more urban. Assuming residents are not willing or able to travel longer distances for recreation in 2020 than they are today, significantly more people will be competing for the same overburdened recreational spaces. The City does contain a remnant of the Walnut Creed Wash, in the Walnut Creek Nature Park. While this wash is only a vestige of the drainage -way, it may offer opportunities to educate the public about the natural systems that, historically, drained the San Gabriel watershed. The Walnut Creek Wash is located along the southern border of Baldwin Park and the Walnut Creek Nature Park is located in the southwest section of the city. The Big Dalton Wash, a flood control channel, runs north to south near the City's eastern edge. 1.4 PLANNING CONTEXT Baldwin Park has a relatively young population compared to the county, state, and nation; nearly 35% of Baldwin Parr residents are under the age of 1S years as compared to 25.7% nationwide and the proportion of Baldwin Park residents age 65 and older is much lower than the county, state, and national figures. Baldwin Park's median household income is nearly identical to the median income of Los Angeles County, but per capita income is significantly less — almost half. The primary reasons for a low per capita income in Baldwin Park include much larger average household size (4.44 vs. 2.98 in LA County) and the large youth population. The cultural make -up of Baldwin Park is diverse, with less than half of the population identif Ting themselves as white in the 2000 Census. Additionally, 79 percent of the total population identified themselves as Latino or Hispanic. Baldwin Park's cultural diversity results in a variety of languages being spoken in the city. Previous planning efforts reveal much about a community and can provide direction for current and future planning efforts. Of greatest importance to this planning effort were the 2020 General Plan and the San Gabriel River Master Plan. The 2020 General Plan is the City of Baldwin Park's long -range plan to move the community into the twenty- -first century, It capitalizes on the community's physical, economic, and human resources, and provides direction for future growth and development. General Plan recommendations include: preserving existing parrs and open spaces; improving existing facilities' amenities, thereby enhancing park utilization; and maintaining a sufficient supply of recreation facilities Baldwin Pork Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion Page 5 Chapter f. Introduction for the growing population. The plan also states that recreation areas should serve both active and passive recreation functions in order to accommodate all ages, individuals, and groups where feasible. The plan also recommends working with the Baldwin Park Unified School District to expand playground use by the community. All of these directions are carried forward within the Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan. The San Gabriel River Master Plan is a consensus - -based master plan that addresses River corridor issues and key stakeholders' concerns. It includes areas within existing rights of way froth Morris Darn in the San Gabriel Mountains to the River's outlet at Seal Beach. Direction is provided for regulation, preservation, and development. The San Gabriel River Master Plan recommends the enhancement of the open space system through conservation, aesthetics, increased connectivity, stewardship, and multipurpose uses. Linkages to other open space networks are addressed through implementation of the Ramona Boulevard gateway project and the Caltrans Right -of -Way Open Space and 'Frail Project. Amenity improvements are recommended for Barnes Park and Walnut Creek Nature Park and Nature Center. The Emerald Necklace is a plan for a string of parks and greenways in Los Angeles County. The goal of the plan is to connect 16 cities and over 500,000 residents along the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel Rivers and their tributaries. Rivers and footpaths will provide the links to park and recreational amenities throughout the County. 1.5 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The City of Baldwin Park recognizes that citizen insight and input into the comprehensive planning process is essential for the future park and recreation system to meet community priorities and be used and embraced by the public. As part of the planning process, the City embarked on an extensive community outreach program to ensure that the plan reflects community values, visions, and priorities. Community input for this Comprehensive Plan was primarily gathered in five ways, summarized below. Community Recreation Questionnaire: A self - administered questionnaire was conducted in Baldwin Park between December of 2005 and April of 2006. The consultant team designed both adult and youth questionnaires in both English and Spanish formats. The questionnaires were distributed at City events, by staff, volunteers, and officials, and through community groups. More than 1,100 questionnaires were completed and the results provided important insight into community priorities and needs. Page 6 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan I I Chapter 1. Introduction • Stakeholder Interviews: In February 2006, members of the consultant team met with several stakeholders in the Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park Master Plan process. These key players included the Mayor and City Council members, the Recreation & Community Services Commission, and the Superintendent of the Baldwin Park Unified School District. Stakeholders were asked about the existing parr and recreation system, future needs anti. opportunities, and partnerships, • Public Visioning Workshop:.A public visioning workshop, a forum for citizens to express their ideas about the future of Baldwin Park's park system, was hosted in Marcia 2006. The first part of the workshop was an open house with interactive boards. The participants were then convened into a large group visioning session. Luring the course of the workshop, children were invited to draw pictures of their ideal park. • Telephone Survey: In May and June of 2006, BaldNvin Park residents who own property within the city lirnits were randon -y selected to complete a telephone survey. The survey included questions concerning the feasibility of an assessment increase, participation in City programs, and use of parks. Over 4 -00 residents participated in the surrey. • Summer Concert Booth: During July of 2006, an interactive booth was set up at one of the City's popular Thursday summer concerts, The purpose of the booth was to present ideas and concepts to the public and gather feedback. In addition to the public involvement opportunities during the plan development, a public hearing will provide additional opportunities for public input during the plan adoption phase. 1.6 PLAN ORGANIZATION This Comprehensive bark and Recreation Plan is organized into five chapters, described below.

Page 8 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan CHAPTER 2. VISION, GOALS, & ACTIONS lim Ifm a Chapter 2. Vision, Goals, & Actions 2.1 OVERVIEW The vision and goals described in this chapter define the park and recreation services that Baldwin Park will provide. These were derived from input received throughout the planning process, from a variety of stakeholders including city staff and officials, community members, and other service providers. Taken together, the vision, goals, and objectives provide a framework for the Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan. The action matrix included in this chapter outline the major steps that will be required to accomplish the goals and make the community's vision a reality. 2„2 VISION FOR THE FUTURE The public outreach efforts during the comprehensive park. and recreation planning process provided feedback from a variety of City residents regarding their vision, needs, and preferences for parrs and recreation services. Through these efforts, a vision for the future emerged: Baldwin Park envisions, optimum Health and welf'hess for all individuals and families in the community with an interconnected and accessible system of parks, facilities, and diverse recreational opportunities that support making active and passive recreation an integral part of every day. This vision is the foundation for all goals, actions, and specific recommendations presented in this plan. 2.3 GOALS Goals form the framework for the Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan. A goal is a general statement describing an outcome the City wishes to provide. Goals typically do not change over time unless community values make revision necessary. Actions are key steps required to achieve the individual goals. The following goals will implement Baldwin Park's desired vision: Goal 1: Provide active and passive recreation opportunities conveniently accessible to residents. A complete recreational experience includes both active and passive activities. In order to provide well- rounded recreation for all residents, the City -will ensure Page 9 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion Chapter 2. Vision, Goals, & Actions that there is a basic level of both active and passive recreational opportunities within walking distance of every residence. Goal 2: Provide inclusive, accessible, and affordable recreational programs and places. Geography is not the only obstacle to a complete recreational experience. Baldwin Park will consider individual challenges, such as disabilities and socioeconomics, when creating and updating recreational programs and facilities, Goal 3: Support and enhance individual and community health and wellness — social, physical, emotional, intellectual, career, environmental, and spiritual. The City of Baldwin Park is dedicated to maximizing the health and wellness of its residents. Similar to the recreational experience, wellness is multidimensional. The City will provide programs and services to help residents achieve a state of wellness. Goal 4: Integrate the local park and transportation network with regional park and trail projects such as the Emerald Necklace. A comprehensive approach to the provision of recreation facilities includes consideration of neighboring and regional efforts. Baldwin Park will bolster its recreation opportunities and strengthen the regional offerings by integrating with regional park and trail projects. Supporting and enhancing regional efforts will also help when seeking funding opportunities. Goal 5: Establish long -term financial stability through fiscally responsible practices and a constant eye to the future. The ongoing provision of recreational facilities and services depends on the City's ability to provide sufficient funding. Baldwin Park will be proactive in identifying the true costs of service provision and both short -term and long -term funding. Goal G: Ensure an efficient and effective organization that provides the best value possible with limited resources. The vision for Baldwin Park recreation will only be realized if maximum benefit can be garnished from available resources. The City will maximize organizational health and constantly strive to provide better recreation opportunities for a low cost and great value. Goal 7: Build community and environmental stewardship through resource management, sustainable and strategic design, appropriate maintenance, and volunteer opportunities. The greatest resources available to Baldwin Park are its people and land. The City will take all necessary actions to ensure that parks, Page 10 Batdwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Chapter 2. Vision, Goals, & Actions open spaces, and a sense of community can be enjoyed by future generations. Goal 8: Provide active recreation and transportation corridors that meet the needs of people of multiple ages and abilities. Baldwin Parr supports a healthy and active community by providing a variety of options to get around the community. Residents have a range of choices for recreation and transportation and can choose the options that best suit their individual needs. 2.4 ACTIONS The actions set forth on the following pages outline the overarching steps required to accomplish the plan goals. Each action is categorized by the goal that it contributes to most. It is important to note that individual action items can help to accomplish several goals. The framework presented in this chapter provides the necessary direction for the specific recommendations presented in Chapters 3 and 4. The action matrix is organized by goal, with specific actions underneath each goal. A timeline is identified for each action: • Ongoing actions include existing programs and those that should be started immediately and continued. • Short -term actions are intended to be completed within the next one to two years. • Mid -term actions are those that should be completed within five years. • Long -term actions are likely five or more years out unless circumstances or funding changes. Responsible parties for implementing each action are also identified. These are: • Baldwin Park City Council (Council) • Recreation & Community Services Department (Rec & CS) • Public Worms Department (Pub. Works) • Baldwin Park Unified School. District (Schools) • Planning Department (Planning) • Other: This category includes volunteers, community organizations, neighboring cities, and /or Los Angeles County.

Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations 3.1 OVERVIEW This chapter provides detailed recommendations for Baldwin Park's future parr system, a companion to the recommendations on administration and operations in Chapter 4. The park system recommendations implement the vision, goals, and actions presented in Chapter 2. This chapter is organized by new parks, existing sites, indoor recreation facilities, outdoor recreation facilities, and pedestrian bicycle access ways. In the discussion of existing sites, concepts for the City's existing parks are depicted. 3.2 PARK SYSTEM OVERVIEW Parks provide the foundation for recreational opportunities in Baldwin Park. The following sections provides recommendations for new parks and existing parks throughout the City based upon the assessment of needs presented in .Appendix B, consultant observations, and staff, public, and city official input. 'To implement Baldwin Park's vision, goals, and actions for parks and recreation, a park system is recommended that: • Includes improvements to Baldwin Park's existing parks to meet the needs of current residents; • Emphasizes acquiring or securing adequately sized future park sites as redevelopment occurs in the City's relatively built -out environment; • Provides a citywide pathway network to link parks, schools, neighborhood, and other destination points; and • Addresses active and passive community recreation facility needs. The proposed park. system is depicted on the Park Plan map, shown on Page 17. The Park Plan is a graphic representation illustrating the overall concept for where future parks and pathways should be located. in Baldwin Park. Some important notes about the Park Plan map are: Park Identification System: On the Park Plan map, existing park and school sites are identified by name. Proposed school parks are named after the school. The four proposed parks are identified with a letter. Pathway segments are identified with a P and a reference number. These identifiers are incorporated into the recommendations Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion Page 15 Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations discussed in following two chapters, as well as in the capital project cost tables in Chapter 5. ■ Proposed Park Locations: On the plan map, asterisks identify the general vicinity for each proposed new park site. The actual location will be detect -nMed based on land availability, acquisition cost, park development standards, and a property owner's willingness to sell. Proposed Pathway Routes: Proposed trail and path routes are identified on the Park Plan. The general route is shown on the plan, but the specific alignment or right -of -way will be determined based on land availability. Park Names: Where names are used to reference proposed park sites and trail corridors, names are for reference purposes only and are not yet approved by City staff or the City Council. 3.3 NEW PARKS While Baldwin Park is relatively built out and has limited opportunities for land acquisition, the future vision for the city calls for redevelopment of some areas. A long -term solution for meeting the recreational needs of residents should include acquiring land and constructing new parks to serve the increased population. New parks can also serve areas that are currently unserved by existing parks and provide access to basic recreational amenities that are absent from some existing parks. In addition to new City -owned park sites, development of public park facilities on school grounds is recommended at five existing Schaal sites (see Map 3.11. Baldwin Park has much more school ground acreage than park acreage, its schools are geographically distributed throughout the community, and many school sites are relatively large. Schools play an especially important role in providing recreation opportunities in Baldwin Park. Page t5 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan i y C b \ � \ � tl K ..

Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations New Park Sites Develop a long -term strategy to acquire land for new parks for four (4) new parks in the general areas indicated on the Proposed Parr System map. T hese areas were identified as underserved by the needs assessment, and several are targeted for future redevelopment. Land should be secured in the general vicinity of asterisks A, B, C, and D on the Park Plan map based on opportunity, either through acquisition or via the development process. New parks should meet the following criteria: n Minimum size of two to three acres, with additional land needed if off - street parking is provided within the parr. o Street frontage along at least `/4 of the park's perimeter, with more frontage preferable to provide a safer, more usable park. New parks should include both active and passive recreation amenities, with at minimum: o Children's play areas (preschool and school -age) o An unprogrammed grassy field area measuring at least 100' x 100' that all for informal play such as running, tossing, and catching o One or more athletic courts such as basketball courts, tennis courts, or volleyball courts a A shaded picnic facility that can accommodate at least 20 to 25 people o A "green oasis" that provides a refuge from the urban landscape and a connection to nature. This informal area should be relatively quiet and include one or more natural features, such as large trees. New School Parks Develop five (5) school park facilities in partnership with the Baldwin Parr Unified School District at the following school sites: Olive JHS, Pleasant View ES, Charles Bursch ES, Tracy ES, and Charles D. Jones JHS. ■ Establish a formalized joint use agreement for these sites that spells out public use hours, financial responsibilities, and maintenance responsibilities. Baldwin Pork Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 19 Chapter 3. Park, facility, & Access Recommendations Since both the City and the School District will benefit from improved recreation facilities on school grounds, the following division of responsibilities is proposed for consideration: a Both parties should be responsible for developing and executing a joint use agreement for each site. o The City of Baldwin Parr should have prime responsibility for capital funding for access and facility improvements to the community use portion of the site. Negotiations of the joint use agreement will dictate the most appropriate ownership and maintenance scenario for school parks. Preliminarily, it is proposed that the Baldwin Park Unified School District should retain ownership of the school park facilities and continue to maintain school grounds, including the school parr or community use areas. ■ A plan should be developed for each site that incorporates improved public access, such as changes to fencing and pathways, and creates a connection with existing recreational amenities at the schools. ■ New recreational amenities should include: Shaded picnic areas and "green oases" at alJ five school park locations Children's play areas ;preschool and school -age) at Olive School Park and Charles D. Jones School Park. School age play areas exist at the other three sites because they are elementary schools. Page 20 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations 3.4 EXISTING SITES Baldwin Park has six existing parr sites. Recommendations for each site are outlined. below. Site master plans for these parks are also included. Information kiosks with information about all parrs and accessways should be added to each parr and on the website. Morgan Park Morgan Park is the undisputed center of Baldwin Park with its collection of recreation and community service buildings, active and passive recreation opportunities, and spaces for events and gathering. This park is envisioned to remain the community's central gathering place and the heart of a revitalized downtown, with a mix of active and passive uses. As the needs of the community evolve and the downtown is revitalized, the conceptual master plan will call for Morgan Parr to evolve to remain the heart of a rejuvenated city. Recommendations: Phase in implementation of the master plan: • :Preserve and improve the community green for community events such as concerts, civic gatherings, and festivals. • Create an "urban edge" along the southern edge of the Community Green with a wider promenade along Ramona Boulevard designed to support the farmers' market, festival booths, etc. • Enhance the perimeter sidewalk and park pathway as a muldgenerational continuous loop trail with seating, shade, drinking fountain(s), interpretive information, distance markers, and lighting. • Reconfigure the access drive/ roadway along the northern edge of the parr to enhance pedestrian access and create a sense of entry for the Aquatic Center and other facilities that take access: o Move the pedestrian access connecting through the northwest parking area from Baldwin Park Boulevard north of the parking and auto access drives. o Redesign the access road to combine pedestrian and auto access in the vicinity of the Aquatic Center. o Where the pedestrian access merges with the drive, in the vicinity of the Aquatic Center, design the streetscape to give the pedestrian priority, while .maintaining auto access. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion Page 21 Chapter 3, Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations it Expand the parking in the northwest of the park, and reconfigure all parking in this area to improve circulation.. Improve and increase lighting to enhance safety. • Renovate children's play areas (preschool and school -age) and include: innovative game and activity spaces; new play equipment; sand and water play; and close -in parent seating. ■ Reconfigure the daycare play area fencing to allow for more efficient maintenance (elimination of difficult -to -mow tight corners) and provide public access after daycare hours, during evenings, and on weekends. ■ Renovate the athletic field — consider using synthetic turf to reduce maintenance workload, minimize water use, and increase playing time. Consider adding formal spectator seating. Although synthetic turf has a higher initial cost, it would be cost - effective for Baldwin Park in the long terra due to the significant labor and resources used to keep this heavily used field playable. Create new gathering place /picnic area south of the athletic field and west of the basketball courts. Once a downtown parking structure to the east of Morgan Park is completed as part of the downtown revitalization efforts, consider long -term removal of the front parking lot along Ramona Boulevard and reclaim this for park space. • Improve signage and directional wayfinding at entrances, throughout the park, and major roadways leading to the park. • Improve pedestrian and bicycle crossings of Ramona Boulevard and Baldwin Park Boulevard to enhance access. Consider signage, special signals, striping, and pavement treatments. Move pedestrian crossing of Baldwin Park Boulevard along western edge of park south approximately SO feet north to align with driveways. • Enhance safety through a combination of new lighting (especially at picnic areas and between the park and Family Service Center), patrolling, and other security measures. • Improve interface of park and "urban edge," near the basketball courts, as the property bounded by Ramona Boulevard and Cesar E. Chavez Drive is redeveloped. Retain and enhance connectivity and access from the parr. It Improve functionality and safety of park restroom facilities by increasing the number of stalls, improving lighting in and around the facilities, and creating a barrier between .men's and women's facilities.

Pork, Facility, & Access Recommendations Hilda Solis Park Hilda Solis Park, in combination with the Teen Center and Skate Park, provides recreational opportunities to an area of .Baldwin Park that would otherwise be unserved. Due to real and perceived barriers to accessing Morgan Park and the highly programmed nature of Baldwin Park High School, residents in the southeast portion of the City rely on Solis Park. Still, poor access and visibility lit the number of park users. Solis Park is envisioned to be a vital part of the neighborhood, supporting community gathering, play, and activity. Recommendations: Phase the implementation of the master plan for Hilda Solis Park; Renovate and relocate children's play areas (preschool and school -age) near the picnic area (for better parental supeivision). The relocated play areas should include the following elements: o Shaded parent seating; o Preschool age play area: sand and water play, play houses, plantings, and perimeter fencing; o School --age play area: physically challenging equipment — climbing walls and net climbers; and o Water sprayground area. ■ Develop a new community gathering spot /entry gateway at Central Avenue that includes shaded seating, picnic tables, and kiosks /notice boards. Improve pedestrian circulation within the park and reduce the amount of paved surfaces within the park. o Minimize traffic - moving areas within the park — replace the turnaround with a backup space. o Enhance the access road along the wash to develop it as the main pathway through the site — add seating alcoves with benches and shade trees. e Improve accessibility at approaches to the Central Avenue bridge ■ Provide informal ball play area by replacing path at the north end of the park with turf and including shaded seating areas near main path, ■ Replacc Central Avenue bridge with a wider, accessible bridge and create an entry gateway. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 25 Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations Add shade trees or a shade structure along the northwest boundary. ■ Upgrade the restroom facilities. ■ Create a better pedestrian and bicycle linkage from Badillo Street to the open areas of the part?;, past the Teen Center and skate parr. Teen Center and skate park recommendations are contained within the Recreation Facilities sections.

Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations Walnut Creek Nature Park Walnut Creek Nature Parr is the only passive - oriented park in Baldwin Park's system. This park provides a green oasis in an urbanized city, makes an important connection to the San Gabriel watershed, and is a potential link to the regional trail system. This park is in need of major upgrades and improvements, but still provides a unique experience and a connection to the natural environment. Recommendations: Implement the master plan for Walnut Creep. Nature Park: Relocate and improve the children's play areas to provide an interactive play environment using natural materials. o Provide neighborhood play opportunities o Sand and water play o Water spray play o Climbing ■ Renovate the existing kitchen facility in the shelter building. Develop an outdoor. nature center near Walnut Creek: o Create anew interpretive center with a focus on the San Gabriel River watershed. Incorporate an outdoor learning laboratory to support curricula of area schools. Renew /replace plantings with a focus on drought - tolerant, easy -to maintain local species. Renovate or remove fencing and plantings along southern edge of park (adjacent to Walnut Creek) to increase transparency and improve visual access to the creek corridor, one of the only soft - bottomed stretches of the creek. Improve access for the community: o Remove perimeter fence and improve entrances into the park from trail along San Gabriel River, Hensell Street, Frazier Street, and the neighborhood east of Frazier Street. • Increase park security. • Provide new pedestrian entrance and nature walk through the park. ■ Develop connections to other parks and city and regional trail corridors, including a connection to the San Gabriel River Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 29 Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations Bike Trail via Walnut Creek Wash. Provide visual screening for neighbors with lots that back along the western edge (south of Hensell Street) and eastern edge (south of Frazier Street) of the park. • upgrade the parking lot and add a trash enclosure to screen the dumpsters. • Replace interpretive panels in the river rock columns in the shelter and add additional interpretive elements throughout park.

Pork, Facility, & Access Recommendations Barnes Park Barnes Park, renovated extensively in 2005, serves the southwest portion of Baldwin Parr. The park contains an open grass area that doubles as a full-sized soccer field, a perimeter walling path, basketball courts, picnic shelters, a large playground area serving multiple ages, a water play feature, and the Family Recreation Center building. This park should remain a neighborhood gathering place and activity center. The following minor improvements are recommended to make Barnes Park even better for nearby neighbors: ■ Increase shaded seating opportunities along the Patritti Avenue street frontage. • Develop a shaded picnic area at the north end of the parr near the basketball courts. • Provide a temporary shade structure for the preschool age play area, until the tree canopy grows and provides shade. • Repair /complete the sound wall and provide additional shaded seating along the path in this location. • Consider a vegetative screen along the sound wail to provide a visual and sound buffer for parr users. • Add a shade structure to the patio located behind the Family Recreation Center to improve its usability in summer months. • Provide connection to San Gabriel River Bike Trail and other recreation amenities. • Enhance safety and discourage vandalism by improving lighting outside the Family Recreation Center and increasing patrolling. Roadside Park Roadside Park is an important part of the parr system in Baldwin Park. This small site, contained within the CalTrans tight-of-way, provides critical recreational space in an area not served by other parks. Additions to this park will help it meet its role as a gathering place and playground for nearby neighbors and community garden users. • Develop a new children's play area. • Add seating areas near the play area. ■ Create an ADA accessible pathway throughout the park. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 33 Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations ■ Improve connections to the surrounding neighborhood, Walnut Creek Nature Park, and Syhre Park. Syhre Park Syhre Park provides a high quality youth baseball field in the southern portion of Baldwin Park. This site is the only baseball field owned and maintained by the City. Because the parr was renovated and upgraded in recent years, only minor improvements are recommended: Develop a trail connection to Walnut Creek Nature Parr and the San Gabriel River along the wash for bikes and pedestrians. Increase shaded seating opportunities along Vineland Avenue. Currently, only on- street parking is available and there is no possibility for off-street parking, given the constraints of the site. During game tine, parking demand pears and creates impacts on the surrounding streets. City staff should work with neighboring businesses to develop a parking strategy to address pear parking demand. Page 34 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan is O ::E (L ui Taw Z Z W 0 Y� uj Z ae ca Chanter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations School Sites In addition to the five schools recommended for school park development, the additional elementary school sites in Baldwin Park have existing recreational amenities that could help to meet the needs of a significant portion of residents, especially those who back park amenities within walking distance of their homes. The greatest obstacles to public use of elementary school recreation amenities include: The lack of a joint use agreement between the City of Baldwin Parr and the Baldwin Park Unified School District, and ■ Fencing and paving schemes that are oriented only for school use, not to support community access. This plan recommends improving access to existing elementary schools to improve recreation access for residents and maximize the benefits of existing publicly owned sites. Before access Improvements are implemented, Baldwin Park and BPUS.D should prepare the formalized joint use agreement that spells out responsibilities and terms of joint use of facilities. Recommended Access Improvements for Elementary Schools: ■ Reconfigure school yard fencing at all elementary schools to provide access to the public during non - school hours. Controlled access can be achieved by adding gates to existing fences that can be closed during school hours, but be unlocked for public access weekday evenings and weekends. Construct internal pathways on school grounds where public access to recreational amenities requires traversing large lawn areas or where access to amenities is not apparent or intuitive. ■ Design and install signage at public entries to help create a formal public entrance and inform the public about conditions of the joint -use agreement. Additional Amenities Add "green oasis" areas to three (3) existing elementary school sites including: Central ES, Elwin ES, and Heath ES. Green oases provide a refuge from the urban landscape and a connection to nature. This informal area should be relatively quiet and include one or more natural features, such as large Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 37 Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations trees. Each of these three sites has adequate space on campus to support a green oasis, and each site is located within an area that currently lacks access to a green oasis. ■ Add new play equipment (preschool and school -age) and a shaded picnic area to the school grounds at Santa Fe ES/ Holland JI HS. 3.5 INDOOR RECREATION FACILITIES This section presents preliminary recommendations for each of the City's indoor recreation facilities, as well as overall recommendations for managing the City's indoor recreation facilities. Overall Recommendations Baldwin Park has a full range of indoor recreation facilities that serve diverse recreation interests and constituencies. To manage these comnnunity resources, the following recommendations are proposed: Implement annual condition tracking for all buildings to assist in asset management. If the condition of each building is rated annually, Baldwin Park will be able to manage its indoor facility inventory more effectively and plan for asset preservation. As a starting point, the 3 tier rating scale for different building elements (HV.AC, etc.) used during the planning process should be implemented with ratings completed every January, so that results can be incorporated into the budget process. After implementation, the rating system can be refined by staff if needed. ■ Evaluate patterns in building usage and identify time slots that are available for additional programming. ■ Provide indoor bicycle facilities along bicycle routes, such as rest areas, changing rooms, and shower. facilities. Improve pedestrian and bicycle access to all indoor facilities, including providing convenient bicycle parking. ■ Improve identification and wayfinding system -wide. Improved signage is needed at many buildings and sites to increase user - friendliness of the indoor facilities. ■ Track revenues and expenditures by each major indoor facility. Set annual goals for cost recovery for each facility. Poge 38 � � - � �Bafdwin Park Comprehensive Park and-Recreation Plan - �ti.. Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations Arts and Recreation Center The Arts and Recreation Center (ARC) will open in 2007. This project, located adjacent to Baldwin Park's City Hall and the Metrolink station, includes renovation and expansion of an historic auditorium to provide cultural arts programming space within the City. The Arts and Recreation Center includes a performance space, gallery space, dance room, flexible use arts rooms, a multipurpose hall and smaller multipurpose room, kitchen, restrooms and office space. The center will become the permanent home to the Baldwin Park Historical Society. A three -story parking structure is planned for the City Hall parking lot, located to the east of the ARC, and will provide for ARC parldng needs. There will also be a passive pocket parr /plaza outside of the ARC facility. Recommendations Designate the ARC as Baldwin Park's cultural and performing arts hub. Visual arts and arts /crafts programming will remain headquartered at Snyder Community Center, While cultural and performing arts activities and programs may occur at other satellite locations, the ARC will serve as the principal location and home base for this type of programming. Provide sufficient staff at the facility, including an on -site manager, maintenance staff, and program staff as needed to support operation and programming. ■ Implement programming at the facility. Esther Snyder Community Center The Esther Snyder Community Center, located in Morgan Park, is Baldwin Park's community hub. The Center is part of a complex of buildings that includes the Baldwin Park Aquatic Center, the Julia McNeill Senior Center, and a child care center operated by the Fast San Gabriel Valley Boys and Girls Club. This center is heavily used, and is active at all hours. Recommendations ■ Focus Esther Snyder. Community Center on active living, multi- generational recreation, and visual arts/ arts & crafts. The Center has a gym, fitness room, mat room, and is connected to the Aquatic Center, allowing for a broad range of healthy activities that get residents moving. The central Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan 39 Chapter 3. Park, Fociiity, & Access Recommendations gathering space serves multiple generations and Families, and the presence of the attached Senior Center and child care integrates a wide variety of age groups. Finally, the Center has "messy rooms" dedicated for pottery, painting, and other hands -on arts activities. Continue upgrading facilities as regular maintenance is needed. The building is in good condition, but is heavily used and some rooms are beginning to show signs of wear, The annual building condition tracking will help with managing this important community asset. Shift most cultural and performing arts programming to the Arts and Recreation Center to free up program space for additional activities. Reconfigure the daycare play area to allow for more efficient maintenance by eliminating difficult -to -mow corners and allow public access on nights and weekends. Reconfiguring the fencing and adding a lockable gate to the rest of Morgan Park would be an efficient way to accomplish this recommendation. Evaluate whether City- provided childcare services would be cost- effective and provide equal or better service than the current provider does. Another factor to consider is whether City - provided childcare would allow for more community use of the childcare space, such as for weekend programming or birthday rentals, and weekend/ evening use of the play yard. Conduct an architectural study to evaluate whether adding a second gymnasium or a practice gyre to the Community Center is possible. The existing gym is heavily used, centrally located within Baldwin Park, and in excellent condition. More gym space is needed, and it would be most functional for programming to have additional gym space at the Community Center. The biggest challenge in accomplishing this will be architecturally integrating an expansion into the Center without creating circulation problems in the park. Baldwin Park Aquatic Center The Aquatic Center contains an indoor 25 -yard, eight lane competition pool. This indoor facility includes locker rooms (also Page 40 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations accessible froth the Community Center) and a separate entry from the access road along the north side of Morgan Park. The pool is in good condition, and is heavily used for lessons, water exercise classes, training, and lap swimming. The indoor Aquatic Center replaced an outdoor pool that was located in Morgan Park where the great lawn now exists. The Aquatic Center pool is a standard tank, and predates current aquatics trends, which incorporate leisure pool elements (such as a zero depth entry, water slides, current channels, and play features) as well as competitive pool elements, to attract more users. Recommendotions Improve the entry experience for Aquatic Center users -- the entrance location is not intuitive to park visitors, and sidewalks and signage need improvement. o As recommended for Morgan Park, the access road should be improved, including making access to the Aquatic Center clear to park users. o Enhance the main entry to the Aquatic Center to create a sense of arrival through improvements to the pedestrian /auto access road, as well as through landscaping and other visual cues. o Improve wayfinding signage in Morgan Park to clarify Aquatic Center location for park users. Continue upgrading pool facilities as regular maintenance is needed. When a major renovation is needed, such as a new roof, evaluate the long -term future of the Aquatic Center to determine whether maintenance of the existing facility is the best option for Baldwin Park. Options that should be reviewed include: beeping the pool as it is; adding new elements; replacing the existing pool with a new facility; and adding additional facilities (new facilities could be located at Morgan Park or another site). MIG recommends conducting a detailed study for each option, including projections of capital costs and longer term operations and maintenance costs, to determine the best course of action within the City's budget constraints. Baldwin Pork Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 41 Chapter 3. Park, facility, & Access Recommendations Julia McNeill Senior Center The Senior Center is located in Morgan Park. This building was expanded and renovated in 2007, and includes a multi -- purpose room. The center is used for senior programming during daytime hours, including a lunch program. In the evenings, it is used for other types of programming, The Senior Center will continue to be the center of senior and older adult services, and provide for other programming needs in the hours when the center is not used for senior activities. It is important to note that, with the aging of Baby Boomers, new trends are emerging for seniors. The City should continue to monitor trends and patterns, and revise its services as needed in the coming years to better serve Baldwin Park residents. Recommendations if Evaluate the programming schedule for the building and maximize use of building on nights and weekends. Baldwin Park Teen Center The Baldwin Park Teen Center is a newer facility built to serve Baldwin Park's teens, and includes an outdoor skate park. The Teen Center building includes casual gathering and activity space, as well as classrooms and a computer lab. Outdoor deck gathering space is provided between the Center and the skate park. The Center offers programmed and drop -in activities, and is geared toward high school age teens during most hours. Recommendations The Teen Center is an attractive building, but has had some issues with durability of materials. Issues with materials should be documented so that City staff can make more informed decisions when. guiding future architectural projects. o The City should continue to replace the hollow recycled plastic decking material with solid recycled plastic decking, as damage from heavy use and vandalism occurs to the hollow material. o The automatic door opener has also been a maintenance issue, according to staff. Problems with Page 42 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Chapter 3, Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations the door should be tracked and cost should be documented. The cost of new equipment should be evaluated against costs over time of repair. The ceramic the surfacing in the open gathering space with pool tables has been a maintenance issue because dropped pool balls have cracked and chipped the tile. In addition, the transition between the climbing wall fall surface and the adjacent the has been problematic, creating a tripping hazard. Repair of broken tiles is difficult, because broken ties must be chipped out to be replaced, At some point, replacement tiles may be unavailable. When the "feen Center undergoes renovation in the future, the tale should be replaced with a more resilient floor surface. ■ Create a hard surfaced path from the front of the budding to the deck. Currently, Users trust go through the building to access the deck. The area between the front door and the deck is currently lawn, and the turf is worn where users cut ,cross the lawn to reach the deck. ■ Evaluate the programming schedule for the building and increase use of building during school hours for programming targeted to other age groups. Continue to involve teens in planning activities and outreach to attract more users. ■ Increase integration with Hilda Solis Park, as described in the recommendations for that site. Barnes Park Family Recreation Center The Fanu*ly Recreation Center at Barnes Park was completed as part of the park's renovation, and opened in 2005. The Center's programn -ing has been refined in the time since it was opened, and includes a variety of activities. The Center is planned to remain a satellite recreation activity center, providing programming to supplement the offerings at the City's larger facilities, Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 43 Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations Recommendations ■ Like the Teen Center., the Family Recreation Center is an attractive, relatively new building. Maintenance issues should be tracked and documented, and used to inform the decision - making process for future projects. = Add shade or a pergola structure to shade the patio at the rear of the building to increase usability in the summer months. • Continue marketing efforts and adjustments to programming to increase use. ■ Consider adding a gymnasium if a second one is not added at Morgan Park. Teri G. Muse Family Service Center Located adjacent to Morgan Park, the Fancily Service Center: is a referral center for social service and support programs, and includes on -site service programming. At the Center, residents of Baldwin Park can get information on free or low -cost health and social services and referrals to homeless shelters, food banks, legal aid, counseling services, medical care, and transportation. The Family Service Center was upgraded in 2005 after the building received significant damage from flooding. In 2006, the building suffered water damage again, requiring replacement of the bottom three feet of wallboard throughout the building. The building is fronted by a parluing lot that appears to be underutilized. In addition to the ongoing drainage problems, the current facility is in an out of the way location with poor visibility both for users and building staff. Recommendations ■ For the short term, address drainage issues and complete repairs to the building to keep it operational. For the long term, consider moving the Farr ly Service Center to a new, highly visible location. The services offered at the center are critical for Baldwin Park's residents. At a new location, these services could even be expanded, so that the facility becomes a Family Wellness Center that address health and wellness (diabetes prevention, CPR classes, etc.) as well as social services. A more visible, community - oriented location would improve the overall experience of Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations visiting the center and improve safety for staff and facility users. o A space planning study should be completed to determine needed interior space. As part of this, a siting study should be included. a A downtown space (either a new storefront built as part of the revitalization efforts, or an existing downtown building) would provide the Family Service Center with a more visible and central location, if the City could secure cost - effective space. o If the Family Service Center .moves, the existing site could be converted into a maintenance storage area and /or headquarters. This would provide more space for maintenance, and would allow the very small Morgan Park maintenance building to be converted to other uses (such as program equipment storage). If the City opts to keep the Family Service Center at its current location, in the long term the building should be improved to provide a front door and windows that face the parking lot and street. Although the location will still be problematic for visibility, more glass across the front of the building will improve the entry experience for visitors, as well as increase safety by making it easier to police. 3.6 OUTDOOR RECREATION FACILITIES This section contains preliminary recommendations for sports fields, sport courts, skate facilities, and other outdoor recreation facilities. Sports fields While organized sports are popular in Baldwin Park, the City has only a few developed sports fields in its parks due to space constraints. The School District is the primary field provider in Baldwin Parr. Steps should be taken to improve existing facilities and increase sport field opportunities throughout the comrnunity. Recommendations a Maintain the high quality baseball field at Syhre Parr. Convert the soccer field at Morgan Park to synthetic turf to increase quality, reduce water use and maintenance demand, and increase playing time. Safdwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion Page 45 Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations ■ Maintain the soccer field at Barnes Park. Evaluate the turf at this location to determine the appropriate maintenance protocol. Negotiate an agreement with the School District for a joint use project at Olive JHS. This project includes deconstructing Merced Avenue between Olive and Nubia Streets along the eastern edge of Olive JHS to expand recreation opportunities. To preserve City ownership, the right -of way would not be vacated. Instead, it would be redeveloped to improve the sports fields at the school. o Improve the existing soccer. field. Consider partnering with the School District to install synthetic turf a Consider developing a second soccer field overlaid in the outfield of the existing baseball fields (along the eastern edge of the site). o Improve the two baseball fields that currently abut Merced Avenue, including providing a full outfield for the short field. o Provide off - street parking to serve field users..A linear access road with head -in parking could be preserved in the Merced Avenue right -of way. Parking could also be provided to at the north end of the soccer field, centrally located to serve all the fields. Another possibility is to explore joint use of the office parking located immediately to the north and west of Olive JFIS. While there are issues with street connectivity and easy access for vehicles, there is a large existing parking lot that is likely very lightly used during evenings and weekends, the peak field use times. Continue to work with the School District to maintain availability of school fields, and facilitate public use of these fields. When new active - oriented parks are added to the City's inventory, one or more sports fields should be incorporated if the site is large enough to support these facilities. Soccer fields are preferred, because these are more suitable for flexible use than baseball and softball fields. Page 46 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion Chapter I Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations Sport Courts Baldwin Park has outdoor basketball parks in three parrs, but no tennis or volleyball courts. All of the basketball courts appear to be heavily used, and the public input process revealed that basketball is a very popular recreation activity in the community. Recommendations ■ Maintain the high duality of the existing courts. ■ Include courts for basketball at new active - oriented parrs. Consider also providing other sport courts, such as tennis and volleyball, during the design process. ■ Coordinate with the School District to improve access and facilitate public use of sport courts at schools Skate Facilities Baldwin Parr currently has one community -scale skate parr that is located adjacent to the Teen Center at Hilda Solis Park. Recommendations Maintain the existing skate park, and upgrade as needed to keep it interesting to users. Consider incorporating "skateable" features into other parrs. Providing "skate spots" throughout a community is a growing trend in parrs and recreation. Skate elements can be added to existing parks and /or incorporated into new park facilities. Skate spots support beginning skaters by providing smaller scale, less challenging opportunities that are closer to home. Other Outdoor Recreation Facilities • Upgrade the water play area at Morgan Park as part of the playground renovation. • Add a water play area to Hilda Solis Park. ■ Continue to partner with Kaiser Permanente and the Adult Education program to maintain the community garden, Consider incorporating community gardens in new parrs. • Partner with the School District to maximize recreation opportunities for the community, Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan — ----- _Page 47 — Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations The City currently allows dogs on leashes in parks. Public input indicated that some residents would like to see areas where residents can exercise their dogs off-leash, While no existing parks in Baldwin Park are suitable for this type of use, an off - leash area may be possible at a new park or within the utility corridor running through the west end of the City. 3.7 PEQESTRIANIBICYCLE ACCESS WAYS The reconuaaendadons prodded in this section establish a trail, pathway, and access way system for Baldwin Park that provides east - west and north -south linkages throughout the planning area between neighborhoods, active and passive recreation opportunities, and other key community destinations. Improved pedestrian and bicycle access was a major need expressed by community members and Community Services staff. While sidewalks are prevalent throughout the city, walking and biking can be difficult because of real and perceived barriers that include: • excessively wide roadways, • unmarked and /or unsignalized crossings, • high traffic volumes, • auto- oriented development, and • a poor overall pedestrian environment. Access Ways Network Baldwin l'ark's network of access ways will connect all parts of the city to each other, with linkages to downtown, schools, neighborhoods, and park sites. The off - street pathways focus on recreation opportunities, while also serving non - motorized transportation needs. The on- street access ways rneet transportation needs, but also supplement the off - street system by providing linkages and offering a connection where no off - street connection is possible. Wherever possible, linkages should exist between parks, residential areas, and the citywide trail and pathway system to connect the City's system into a regional network that includes the San Gabriel River path. The network is depicted on the reap on the next page, with individual trail segments described later in the document.

Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations Trail and Pathway Planning and Design Policy statements and design guidance for trail planning and design are contained in this section. These guidelines are intended to assist the City in developing an access way system that is user - friendly and functional. Access Way Types The following trail and path hierarchies should be implemented in Baldwin Park. Table 3A describes the three trail types in Baldwin Park. Table 3.1 Access Way Types a - High - Traffic Primarily transportation ■ Sidewalk On- Street i usage ■ 4 -6' wide bicycle lane Route - 1. 11. _.... ......._ Low - Traffic ... ..... . ...... ........ „........

These opportunities are noted below in the Recommended Trail Network section. Planning Recommendations ■ Create a pedestrian and bicycle network that provides complete connectivity to recreation facilities and the regional trail network. Provide at least seven miles of paved off -- street pathways within City limits, including: • Paved off-street pathways along the San Gabriel River, Big Dalton Wash, and Walnut Creels Wash. • A paved off - street pathway extending north from De Anza ES to Ramona Boulevard along the existing utility corridor. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 5 f Chapter 3. Park, Facility, & Access Recommendations • Provide at least 8.8 miles of enhanced, dedicated pedestrian and bicycle facilities along low- traffic streets. • Where connectivity is not available on lower traffic streets, higher traffic streets can be improved to provide access. Provide at least 9.2 miles of on- street pedestrian and bicycle facilities along high - traffic streets. • Develop a signage plan for the access way system, and implement it. The signage plan should include kiosks with system maps, trailhead signs indicating distance and difficulty, and access way signs posted along the routes. • Maximize the use of utility corridors and other linear features for pathway corridors to achieve multiple benefits, where feasible. • Whenever possible, recreation pathways and access ways should be separated from the roadway. Design Recommendations K Alignments should take into account soil conditions, surface drainage, and other physical limitations that could increase construction and /or maintenance costs. • Route access ways to minimize user shortcut potential. • Where routes use existing streets, the pathway should be designed to minimize potential conflicts between motorists and access way users. • Wayfinding and orientation signage should be provided to facilitate access way users. Signage should be provided at each major intersection and entrance, and should include route and mileage information. Recommended Trail Network The access way network on Map 3.1 represents conceptual linkages. Access way type is indicated in the discussion of each segment. ■ San Gabriel River Off - Street Connector Path (P -1): This off - street path will provide a. critical connection to the Emerald Necklace Urban Park Network.

PROGRAM & SERVICES RECOMMENDATIONS k Y R - Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations 4.1 OVERVIEW This chapter contains recommendations on strategic directions for programs and services. 'these recommendations are organized into five major categories: Administration; • Communications; • Financial Stewardship; • Programs and Services; and • Maintenance. 4.2 ADMINISTRATION Baldwin Park's role in park and recreation is providing and maintaining a system of parks and major recreational facilities, and offering programs and services in the areas of recreation, cultural arts, and community services. The Baldwin Park Department of Recreation and Community Service has lead responsibility for parks and recreation, with support froze the Public Works Department and the Community Development Department. This overall structure has been in place for several years, with occasional minor modifications, and has been effective. This overall organizational structure should be maintained and continued, with the following additional recommendations. Clarify roles and responsibilities. Three different departments contribute to park and recreation in Baldwin Park. In addition, with the mix Of contractors, part -time, full- -time, seasonal, and volunteers, there are diverse ways of getting the job done. To ensure top quality service, roles and responsibilities need to be clarified and articulated. At the City level, departmental and divisional responsibilities should be spelled out, along with coordination procedures. At the staff level, roles and responsibilities should be detailed in the staff handbook, in contracts with contractors, and in the volunteer handbook. Empower staff to make decisions. As part of clarifying roles and responsibilities far staff, Baldwin Park should develop guidelines for staff decision - making. This will empower staff to make decisions, increase efficiency, and potentially increase customer service and responsiveness. The existing staff handbook is a good document, and the guidelines should be added to it to empower decision - making. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion -Page 57 Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations Continue supporting staff and volunteer development. Trained staff and volunteers are more prepared to serve in their respective roles. The City should continue to support training for staff, the Recreation Commission, and potentially volunteers to ensure motivation, professionalism, and innovation_ This includes attending conferences and professional development courses. Consolidate and centralize volunteer management. Baldwin Park has an extensive roster of volunteers who assist with parr and recreation services. Volunteerism is also an important recreation activity for some residents. In Baldwin Park, volunteers are recruited and managed through individual program areas. A single volunteer coordinator should be designated, and volunteer opportunities should be organized through this position. Duties of the volunteer manager should include developing and maintaining a volunteer database, worming with staff to create a list of volunteer opportunities, and marketing the City's volunteer opportunities. The volunteer coordinator should also be responsible for developing and updating a volunteer handbook, as well as conducting volunteer background checks. Technology should be used to offer additional opportunities to existing volunteers and to tap into new volunteers, including using the website and email, and working with technology staff on database development and management. Develop an annual work plaza. Each year, the Recreation and Community Services Department should develop a work plan in consultation with other city departments and the Commission, that identifies top priority actions, sets goals, and assigns staff responsibilities. The annual work plan is a key tool for implementing this Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan. At the end of the year, the Department should assess performance and prepare a progress report. 4.3 COMMUNICATIONS Baldwin Park has a complex system of recreation facilities, staffing and programming five separate buildings with a sixth corning on line in 2007. In addition, several departments contribute to pare and recreation services. With this level of complexity, a high level of communication is needed to ensure a coordinated vision for parks and recreation. The need for increased communication both internally and externally was an issue raised at numerous points during the planning process. The following recommendations are intended to streamline and improve communication. Page 58 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pfan Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations Improve departmental internal communications. With the dispersed recreation facilities and staff in Baldwin Park, unproved department communication is needed to ensure teamwork and cohesion. Engage employees at all levels in goal setting and problem- solving. Hold periodic all -staff meetings and conduct team - building exercises. Use technology to increase coordination. For example, forms can be made available to all staff either on a city,vide drive or on the Web. The use of Outlook for scheduling can be increased. A periodic electronic newsletter for staff could highlight successes, news, and upcoming events. Use software to schedule vehicles. Many recreation programs require use of fleet vehicles. In order to be effective, program staff need to have certainty that vehicles will be available, ready to go, and in good condition when needed. Outlook or another computer program should be used to facilitate vehicle use, including to schedule regular servicing (i.e, oil changes and tune - ups). Improve citywide communications on park and recreation issues. More coordination among Planning, Public Works, City Manager, and the Recreation and Community Services Department is needed for implementation of this plan. In particular, implementing trail and access recommendations and acquiring new park sites will require close coordination. Cross - departmental review of major capital projects should also occur. Develop a strategic communications plan for external communications. External communications are communications with the public. Lack of awareness about parks and programs was one of the major reasons for lack of program or park use in Baldwin Park. Increasing awareness of community recreation resources will encourage a healthy and active community. The strategic communications plan should address the website, prograrm guide, marketing, and other outreach tools, including maps and signage. This plan should address outreach to people who are not currently participating, or specific populations with a low participation rate. At minimum, the City should evaluate the effectiveness of the program guide, which is currently printed quarterly but not mailed to households. In addition, the City website should be referenced in all marketing and public outreach efforts. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 59 Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations 4.4 FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP Baldwin Park has been successful at building .recreation facilities, and at managing a diverse range of recreation assets. The following recommendations are aimed at preserving assets and maintaining financially sustainable recreation services. Coordinate and improve data collection. Baldwin Park should improve data collection, establishing a coordinated or unified system and tools for collecting, analyzing, and managing data to support program and budget decisions. Data on participation and cost recovery should be consistently collected. Data generated by the computerized registration system should be evaluated to assist in programming decisions. Data that could be evaluated include total participation, participation by program area or facility, class cancellation rates or class capacity (how full classes are), volunteers, etc. Track costs and revenues consistently. Baldwin Park should establish a consistent system to track the costs, revenues, and subsidy rate foi- each major program area, as well as for each major facility (the Recreation Center, the Teen Center, etc). Costs should also be tracked for park maintenance, separately from maintenance of beautification areas and landscaped medians. Contracts should be crafted in a manner that facilitates tracking by facility. Establish financial performance goals. Each major program area and facility should be assigned specific financial performance goals to help the Department achieve financial sustainability. These goals are cost recovery percentages /subsidy targets. To ensure that there are opportunities for all City residents to participate, a range of program options (in terms of costs) should be provided. Complete a fiscal impact analysis when a major capital project is proposed. When new parks or facilities are proposed, a fiscal impact analysis should be prepared that reviews capital and operations costs, identifies maintenance cost implications of different alternatives, and evaluates the building program feasibility. For example, the Arts and Recreation Center was designed to include a multi- purpose hall, intended as a revenue - generating space. However, because Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) money was used as a funding source, market -rate rental potential is limited and the revenue generation potential is reduced. Page 60� _Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plane Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations Pursue an assessment increase. Park maintenance in Baldwin Park is partially funded through an assessment district. There is a shortfall in funding for maintenance, because both overall costs and the number of facilities maintained have increased since the district was established. A telephone survey conducted during the planning process indicated that the community may be willing to support an assessment increase to maintain a high level of service. An outreach campaign is needed to increase; public awareness, and should begin a year in advance of the ballot. Continue to implement creative revenue generation ideas. Baldwin Park has pursued creative ways of generating revenue, including a cell tower outside the Community Center, billboards in parks adjacent to the freeway, and sponsorships. The .Department should continue to pursue new revenue generation ideas. Some ideas already suggested by staff include ad space in program guides or other publications, punch cards, frequent program user package deals, and additional sponsorships /naming rights. Continue to seek grant funding. Baldwin Park has been very successful at successfully applying for grants, which have funded a number of projects in .recent years. Baldwin Park should continue to devote staff time to researching, tracking, and applying for grants. 4.5 PLANNING AND DESIGN This plan calls for improvements at existing sites and the addition of new sites. The planning and design recommendations are intended to provide overall. guidance on park and facility improvement projects. Coordinate park planning and design efforts with other city departments and regional and state agencies, Greater coordination with other City departments is needed on parr capital improvement projects. Planning and Community Development can help obtain land and funding. Parks projects also need to be coordinated with Public Works projects, as well as incorporate expertise from the grounds maintenance and building maintenance staff Recreation program staff will be responsible for programming sites, and need to weigh in on end - user needs. Coordination is also needed with outside agencies, including the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, CalTrans, and Los Angeles County. Finally, parks and recreation staff should be Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 61 Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations integrated into other planning efforts, such as downtown planning and revitalization efforts. Improve coordination of long range planning efforts with the Baldwin Park Unified School District. More coordination with BPUSD is needed to ensure the availability and accessibility of school grounds for community recreation use. In addition, the City and the school district can explore potential partnerships and shared use agreements for community facilities. In partnership, the two entities can likely provide facilities and services neither could provide alone. Coordinate with regional trail and greenway planning. There have been many regional planning efforts around Baldwin Parr, including the Emerald Necklace and the San Gabriel River Master Plan (Common Ground), Baldwin Park should coordinate its efforts to provide the community trail system and improve Walnut Creek Nature Park with these regional efforts. Encourage transit use. Baldwin Park operates its own transit system, which is an important means of access to local parks and facilities. Recreation and Community Services should coordinate with Public Works to ensure that transit is meeting the needs of parr and recreation users, Loth in terms of schedule and stop locations. The Department should include transit route information on park maps and program guides to encourage transit use. The Department should also coordinate with the Transit division in Public Works to explore shuttle services to regional recreation amenities. Coordinate this plan with citywide redevelopment, transportation, and other planning efforts. There are a variety of planning projects underway, including redevelopment efforts. This plan should be coordinated with other planning efforts, because parks are critical to community livability. Incorporate environmentally sustainable features into parks and facilities. Sustainable features should be incorporated into parks and facilities, during; renovation or new construction. Elements such as low water use fixtures should be incorporated into structures, and sites should incorporate sustainable stormwater design, low water use features, and other elements that reduce resource consumption. Sustainable design fits the City's vision and wiil also save money in the long term. Page 62 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations Enhance opportunities for public art in parks. This includes cultural events, performance art and temporary art installations. The City's .Art in Public Places program can help support this. The Department should coordinate with the Cultural Arts Commission on placing art in parks. 4.6 PROGRAMS Baldwin Park offers a diverse range of programs and events. According to a community telephone survey, there is a high level of satisfaction among those who participate. However, participation could be improved -- only about 20% of households said they participated. These recommendations are aimed at increasing participation and providing the benefits of parks and recreation to more Baldwin Park residents, ■ Implement on -line registration for programs. On-line registration expands customer service, and should be implemented in Baldwin Park. Implement a marketing program. As part of the strategic communication program, a marketing program for recreation programs should be implemented. The City uses several forms of marketing, with the quarterly program guide one of the .main methods of marketing. Reader boards at Morgan Park and the Teen Center are used, and events are advertised in the Baldwin Park Now publication. The City has also used other methods, such as table tents for the summer concert series. The strategic communication program should identify the marketing plan for recreation, focused on increasing participation in the most cost - effective manner. Events, facilities, and audiences should be prioritized so that marketing can be tailored and the impact of marketing can be maxiinized. Increased Web presence is needed, as is evaluation of whether the program guide should be mailed out to households (with advertising to offset costs). The marketing program should include targeted outreach to the 18 -35 age group, as well as non -- users. Set participation goals and track progress. The telephone survey indicated that 20% of the community participated in City recreation programs in 2006. The Department should set an overall participation goal, targeting 25% of the community participating in 2008 and increasing to 40% over time. Participation goals in terms of numbers served should be set for Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 63 Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations each major prograr n area, as well as goals for new participants — a goal for a certain percentage of new participants in each program area. Progress should be reviewed at least annually, and programming should be shifted if goals are not met. Implement more user evaluation of programs. User evaluations of programs should be implemented, using a consistent systern that evaluates program quality and seeps program suggestions. User input should be tracked and used to modify programs. Quantitative and qualitative feedback can be used to evaluate funding, enhance staffing, and justify new programs. Provide accessible programs. Factors such as program costs, outreach /marketing, class scheduling /format, and language may limit participation for some people of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. City staff should evaluate program access in terms of all potential barriers to participation, including access for people with disabilities, and develop strategies for improvements, The City should consider adopting a "resident- - first policy" to ensure that all City residents have equitable, affordable and priority access to programming. As part of this effort, a scholarship fund should be implemented and be available to City residents. Design and implement new programs. Staff should design and implement new programs to appeal to current non - users, New programming should be offered on a trial basis, and given two to three chances to meet goals. based on community input during the plan, some potential areas to expand programming are: o Cultural arts programs in accordance with the Cultural Arts Strategic Plan and guided by the Arts Commission; o Dance programs, including more ballet, tap, social dancing, and special events; o Arts festival and arts - related programming; and o Sports programs, with a focus on events (hosting a three -on -three basketball tournament on city streets, going to professional games, offering camps). The Pride of the Valley run is a good example of a sports event. ■ Consider adding drop -in childcare. Public input results indicated that childcare is a significant barrier to participation for some. The Department should consider adding drop -in childcare Page 64 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Pork and Recreation Plan Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations for a fee at the Community Center during key program times on a trial basis. Many private fitness clubs offer this service, with a cost of $1 or $2 per hour and maximum stay of one or two hours. If the City could gain use of the child care center in the evening hours, this would be a good location. 4.7" MAINTENANCE Baldwin Park's parks and facilities are well - maintained and are community assets. I- Iowever, maintenance duties in the City are complex and are not tracked very well. The recommendations below will help the City manage its assets more efficiently. Continue to seek most cost effective means of providing high quality maintenance. The City uses a mix of in -house staff, contractors, and community service workers. The most effective and eff=icient means of providing the desired high duality level of maintenance should be used. This should be periodically evaluated, with specific attention to in -house versus contracting. Implement better cost tracking. When this plan was completed, all building maintenance was within a single budget and all landscape maintenance was contained within a single budget. On the facilities side, at minimum recreation facilities should be tracked separately from other public facilities such as the jail and City Hail. Ideally, each major facility should be tracked separately in terms of costs and labor. For grounds maintenance, at minimurn, parks should be tracked separately from landscaped medians and other public spaces. This type of tracking will allow better decision-making on maintenance, and allow comparisons with other local and regional agencies. Improve coordination between maintenance staff and peak park /program use. Maintenance is critical to user satisfaction. Maintenance staff should be on -duty during programs and during key park use tunes. Maintenance shifts should be staggered. so that staff are on duty during peak times, such as weekend days and. during evenings. Overtime costs could be reduced by improved scheduling (such as running a shift from 10:00 to 6:00 or 12:00 to 8:00). Implement improvements that would reduce maintenance workloads. Features such as large capacity trash cans at Morgan Park, time locks on restrooms, and artificial turf would reduce maintenance workloads and increase efficiency. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation PlanW _ Page 65 Chapter 4. Program & Services Recommendations Implement an asset evaluation and tracking program. Annually evaluate the condition of major park and facility assets, track this information, and use it to plan for repairs /replacements are needed. This should be done for buildings, site features, and potentially even for major equipment such as mowers, An asset evaluation program will help the City avoid expansive crisis maintenance and manage the major assets the City has acquired. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Man��� CHAPTER S. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION BALDWIN P A - R - K Chapter 5, Plan Implementation 5.1 OVERVIEW The preceding chapters provide the plans, policies and recommendations for acquiring and developing new park sites, upgrading existing parks and developing trails and accessways. This chapter presents the overall capital facilities plan, documenting all projects recommended in the plan. It outlines priorities for determining which projects to complete first, and describes two options for financing the b --year capital improvement plan. This short -term strategy provides two alternative realistic funding plans. Other funding issues are discussed, including a park impact fee and maintenance funding. Regardless of what funding schedule is adopted, the Recreation and Community Services Commission should help ensure the goals and actions outlined in this plan are achieved. 5.2 CAPITAL PROJECTS Table 5.1 lists the capital projects recommended in Chapter 3, with project costs for planning and budgeting purposes. As this table shows, the cost of these improvements could exceed $28 million. While the amount may seem beyond the reach of the City, through innovative financing strategies and leveraging of outside funding sources, many of the projects can be completed. The City's track record of successful major projects (e.g., the Arts and Recreation Center and the Teen Center) demonstrates the abilities of Baldwin Park to secure funding for visionary projects supported by the cornrnunity. Table 5.1 is based on planning level. costs in 2007 dollars. These should be adjusted annually and be refined periodically as construction documents are completed and more refined information is available. Land acquisition costs are based on a cost of $800,000 per acre. Off-street pathways are based on a cost of $375,000 per mile. Costs for on- street routes are not included in Table 5.1, because these are located within the .right -of -way and are anticipated to be completed as part of the City's transportation capital facilities plan. The costs associated with recommendations to move the Teri G. Muse Family Service Center and study the Baldwin Park Aquatic Center are not included in the Capital Facilities flan, Relocation of the Family Service Center should occur after a programming and space needs study. A new facility may be incorporated in downtown redevelopment. Renovation of the Baldwin Park Aquatic Center should be considered when a major maintenance project is required. The City should then conduct an aquatics study to determine the best long -term option, but there is not an immediate need. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan] Page 67 Chopter S.

Plan Implementation 5.3 PROJECT PRIORITIES The recommendations in Chapter 3 include numerous capital projects. Because the anticipated cost for all improvements will exceed the City's financial capabilities in the near term, the following criteria were used to prioritize projects for the six -year capital facilities plan. Meets Master Plan needs: Projects of highest priority were those that could meet facility needs as identified in the Community Needs Assessment. This includes meeting community needs in unserved or underserved areas and satisfying relevant requirements, such as ADA and safety guidelines. In addition, priority was detern-zined based on the projects' capacity to expand the City's recreation opportunities. Improves operations and maintenance: Projects were also prioritized based on their ability to improve park maintenance operations and potentially reduce operating costs. Projects were also ranked high that addressed deferred maintenance issues. Strengthens the community: Proposed projects were prioritized based on their ability to enhance neighborhood image and strengthen community identity. In addition, projects that would serve a diverse cross - section of the community and projects that have potential for positive economic impact were ranked high in priority. Fundability: Projects with a likelihood of receiving funding through grants or other outside sources were given a high priority. 5.4 FINANCING STRATEGY In the past, Baldwin Park has primarily relied on money frorn the General fund and grants to pay for major recreation capital expenditures. While this strategy has allowed the City to build a number of successful projects over the past five years, operations and maintenance funding has not kept pace with the increased park system. Two funding alternatives are described. The first is a pay -as- you --go approach that relies on the General Fund, some grant money, and some from miscellaneous sources. This concept will fund some projects but does not meet all of the highest priority short -term recreation needs of the community. The second alternative is a more aggressive funding approach that includes a public tax assessment. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 71 Chapter S. Pion Implementation This concept will fund more of the highest priority needs but does not meet all of the recreation needs in the community identified within this Plan. ALTERNATIVE A (Pay -as- you -go Approach) 'I'his concept is a conservative approach to funding park and facility improvements. While not meeting all of the short -term recreation needs, it does not obligate the City to major financial commitments. Revenue sources rely on past funding approaches and prioritize small projects that upgrade the existing parrs. This option does not allocate any additional money for maintenance and operations. Revenue Assumptions — Option A Table 52 summarizes potential funding sources for capital expenditures. The assumptions are described below, General Fund: The City has not shown consistency in funding recreation projects from the General fund. In recent times the amount has ranged from $1 million to $81,000 per year. For this analysis, it is assumed that the amount: of Gcneral Fund allocation will average about $350,000 per year. Over a six year period, the total amount will be about $2,100,000. Quimby Fees: Revenue from Quimby fees has been averaging about $120,000 per year. It is assumed this level of revenue will continue over the next six years as existing parcels continue to further subdivide. Over a six -year period, the amount of revenue projected from Quimby fees is projected to be approximately $720,000. Development Tax: While this tax is assessed based on the impact from residential development, the amount generated is minor and goes directly into the General Fund, It is not dedicated to any one expenditure source, although park development has been the recipient of some money, In FY 04/05, the fund generated $63,250 but was distributed to non -parr projects as well. Based on the past use of these fiends, it is assumed that a maximum amount of development tax revenue allocated for parr development will be no greater than $50,000 over a six -year period. CDBG Grants: The City receives about $1.5 million per year from this funding source, which is intended to benefit low Page 72 Boldwin Pork Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Chapter S. Plan Implementation and moderate income populations. Over the years, the amount allocated to park and facility improvements has varied considerably. Over a six -year period, it is assumed that about $2,100,000 will be allocated to park and facility improvements. Donations: In the past, donations have been mostly limited to funding major capital projects such as the Senior Center, Arts and Recreation Center, and Teen Center. With major public facilities now in place, it is assumed that donations will be limited to smaller projects. In the past this type of donation has been minor. However, local service clubs have been known to donate money for playgrounds and other similar small projects. Because projects are smaller, donation revenue averaging $10,000 per year is assumed. Grants: With Propositions 12 and 40 per capita funds already committed, any future grants will be available only on a competitive basis. However, because of the past successful. grant history, Baldwin Park should be able to acquire additional grants for trail and park development. Over a six - year period it is assumed that $750,000 in grants can be acquired. Miscellaneous Sources: It has been MIG's experience that miscellaneous funding sources often occur through special state, federal or local allocations. For example, a local public art Fee generates $40,000 to $70,000 per year. While the amounts can vary considerably, it is assumed approximately $50,000 over a six -year period can be generated through these sources.

Page 73 Chapter 3, Plan Implementation Proposed Project Expenditures — Option A Based on the revenue sources listed in Table 5.2, approximately $5.8 million worth of projects are fundable over the next six years. With this budget restriction, it is recommended that the City focus on providing small park improvements throughout the City, so that everyone benefits. Specific projects are listed below.

Page 74 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pfan Chapter 5. Plan Implementation ALTERNATIVE B Tax Assessment This approach is a more aggressive financing concept intended to meet more of the immediate community recreation needs. It will rely on the funding sources listed in Option A, but also includes the creation of a new Landscape and Lighting District to pay for capital expenditures. The concept is to sell bonds and use the annual revenue from the assessment district to pay for debt service. This new L &L District is in addition to the existing park maintenance district. Landscape and Lighting District Assessment: Based on a new L &L assessment of about $40 per year, the 15,000 parcels in the community would raise about $600,000 annually. Of this amount, it is recommended that $200,000 annually be allocated to park maintenance to supplement existing Maintenance funds, Rather than using the remaining amount on an annual basis for capital expenditures, it is recommended that a bond be sold with the debt service paid by the annual $400,000 revenue. This will allow a $4 million bond, assuming a 5.25% interest rate paid over 15 years. At the end of the 15 years. the City can choose to reduce the assessment rate, allocate all of it to maintenance, or sell a new bond for capital expenditures. i able 5.4: Revenue Sources — Option B {Six -Year Period} Baldwin Pork Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 75 Landscape and Lighting District $4,000,000 General Fund $2,100,000 Quimby Fees $720,000 Development Tax $50,004 Community Development Block Grants $2,100,000 Donations $60,000 Grants $754,000 Miscellaneous Sources $50,000 'otai Revenue ' $9,830,4fl0 Baldwin Pork Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 75 Chapter 5.

Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 77 Chapter 5. Plan Implementation 5.5 PARK IMPACT FEES Under AB1600, fees can be charged for all types of residential development, and in some cases, for non - residential development. The fee is applied at the time of acquiring the building permit. Park Impact Dees must be based on the current level of service to ensure that new development does not pay for any existing deficiencies in park development. AB1600 requires certain procedures for calculating and administering the fee. As noted, in Baldwin Park, a Development Tax is imposed up to a maximum of $1,000 per household, a rate that is considerably under the true cost impact of residential development on the park system. Currently, the City does not collect park impact fees. New development has not been significant, as most of Baldwin Park has already been developed. However, the planned redevelopment of some areas of the City has potential to increase the amount of development signifiantly, and to increase residential areas in some areas of the City. The City should consider establishing a park impact fee to ensure that new development is paying for its impacts on the park system. In California, an impact fee rate of $10,000 per household is not unusual given the high cost of land and improvements. The impact fee should be established prior to significant new residential development in the revitalization areas. S.G MAINTENANCE FUNDING The success Baldwin Park has had in expanding its recreation facilities and amenities has created a demand for additional maintenance funding and services. The City has a Park Assessment District to finance the costs of maintaining parks and recreation facilities, but the assessments have not increased in over a decade. Over that same time period, the number and type of recreation facilities has increased significantly, including the Hilda L. Solis Park renovation (1998), Teen Center and Skate Park construction (2003), Barnes Park refurbishment and Family Recreation Center construction (2005). In May of 2007, the new Arts and Recreation Center and a pocket park will open and the expanded Senior Citizen Center -will reopen. Maintenance Costs To maintain the current level of park maintenance, Baldwin Park needs to devote between $17,000 and $18,000 per developed acre of park land. This does not take into account the increase in facilities and potentially in park users that this Plan anticipates, with a major improvement at Walnut Creek Nature Park and a significant renovation of I Iiida Solis Park. These additions may require a higher Page 78 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Chapter S. Plan Implementation per acre maintenance allocation. The City should track maintenance costs and adjust the budget as needed to provide the desired level of service. In addition, new park land will require an increase in overall park maintenance expenditures based on the per acre allocation. Funding Parks Maintenance Currently, Baldwin Park assesses $27.55 per year on each property for park maintenance. As mentioned, this assessment has not been increased in a decade. The assessment is the only dedicated source of parks maintenance funding, with the remainder of funding provided by the General Fund. There are several ways Baldwin Park could establish dedicated funds for parks maintenance. Increased Assessment or New L &L District. A telephone survey conducted in conjunction with the current planning effort evaluated the public's willingness to pass an assessment increase. The results of the survey suggest property owners would support an assessment increase to $40 per year. The Option B funding schedule presented above includes a new assessment of $40 per year on each property with approximately $200,000 per year of the assessed funds could be devoted to maintenance. If Bald -vin Park does not pursue a new L &L, it could pursue an increase of the existing assessment. }ether option will require a significant public outreach campaign to be successful. Revenue Generated From Parks. Baldwin Park currently generates revenue from billboards and cell towers in the existing parks. Three billboards in Barnes Park and one billboard in Roadside Park generate a total of approximately $140,000 per year. Two leased arrays on the cell tower in Morgan Park generate approximately $53,000 per year., and there is currently room for one additional array. Revenue from both the billboards and cell tower goes into the General Fund. The City should consider establishing a policy that the revenue generated from the use of park and recreation assets should be dedicated to park and facility maintenance. If this policy is put in place, Baldwin Park should seek opportunities for similar lease agreements in new and existing parks. Sponsorships /Naming Rights /Banners, Etc. Selling sponsorships, naming rights, or banner advertising could increase maintenance funding in Baldwin Park by providing businesses, organizations, and individuals the opportunity to demonstrate a dedication to the community and promote stewardship of park and recreation resources. Nanning rights are often more attractive to potential donors, but involve renaming facilities when Satdwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan �� ..... ,� �.,...x.._._.,w.. Page 79 Chapter 5. Plan Implementation agreements are terminated. Information and advertising kiosks, shade structures, and parking lot or park banner programs also offer advertising opportunities that can generate revenue for maintenance.

Description Morgan Park is Baldwin Park's most visible and heavily - used park. It is home to several major recreation facilities, including the Community Center and Senior Center. There is a canopy of mature trees in the park, which provide a pleasant shady character. The area around the playgrounds has an urban plaza character, and provides places for families to linger. The daycare (operated by a private provider) has a fenced play area that is somewhat of an obstruction in the park. Integrating this area more affectively would improve the park environment. The park is periodically used as festival space, and trucks often damage the lawn.

COMMUNITY CONTEXT & NEEDS BALDWIN y Appendix B: Community Context & Deeds B.I COMMUNITY PROFILE Regional Context The City of Baldwin Park is located within eastern Los Angeles County in the State of California. Baldwin Park is one of 88 incorporated cities within Los Angeles County and is bordered by the City of Irwindale to the north, northwest, and northeast; the City of El Monte to the southwest; the City of La Puente to the south; and the City of West Covina to the southwest, The City of Baldwin Park is connected to the rest of Los Angeles County by the San Gabriel River Freeway (Interstate 605) running along its western edge and the San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10), which divides the City's southern sector from the majority of the City. The San Gabriel River freeway parallels the San Gabriel River. The Santa Fe Flood Control Basin is located just north of Baldwin Park and Arrow Highway in the City of Irwindale. The primary planning area includes 6.8 square miles within the boundaries of Baldwin Park. Planning Area According to its 2020 General Plan, Baldwin Park is completely urbanized and expects to increase housing densities without expanding its planning area. The existing planning area lacks natural resources such as forest, rivers, and wildlife. This lack of natural Baldwin Park Comprehensive Pork and Recreation Plan Page 8 -3 Appendix B: Community Context & Needs amenities creates an unusual set of opportunities and constraints for the expansion of parr and recreational resources, The City does contain a remnant of the Walnut Creek Wash, in the Walnut Creek Nature Park. Whale this wash is only a vestige of the drainage -way, it may offer opportunities to educate the public about the natural systems that, historically, drained the San Gabriel watershed. The Walnut Creek Wash is located along the southern border of Baldwin Parr and the Walnut Creek Nature Park is located in the southwest section of the city. The Big Dalton Wash, a flood control channel, runs north to south near the City's eastern edge. Demographic Characteristics From 2000 to 2005, the population of Baldwin Park increased by over 7 %. Despite no plans to expand the geographic area of Baldwin Park, the 2020 General Plan projects a build out with nearly 87,000 residents from a current population of 81,226. If this trend continues, the residential density will increase by 850 people per square mile between 2005 and 2020. This will create unique opportunities and constraints for future parks and recreation planning. The already urbanized Baldwin Park will become even more urban. Assuming residents are not willing or able to travel longer distances for recreation in 2020 than they are today, significantly more people will be competing for the same overburdened recreational spaces. Residential areas need parks to fulfill the day --to -day recreation. needs of community residents. Higher density residential areas may have different recreation needs from lower density areas, Commercial and industrial areas typically do not generate as much need for parks and recreation facilities. However, there may be specific park needs for commercial and industrial areas, depending on the types of development and the City's goals for these areas. Age The age distribution of a population can indicate the types of recreation opportunities that are most needed. In general, youth tend to participate in recreation activities more frequently than any other age group. Youth generally favor more active and competitive activities, such as basketball, baseball, and soccer. As people age, their use of park spaces tends to include more passive activities such as family gatherings and enjoying nature. Younger adults (ages 18 -35) also favor active recreation and typically form the core of adult competitive sports. Older adults (ages 35 -65) Page 8-4 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Appendix B. Community Context & Needs typically have less time to devote to recreational activities and tend to have a more passive interest in recreation programs and resources. For them, recreational time is scarce and is often limited to weekends and occasional evenings. Baldwin Park has a relatively young population compared to the county, state, and nation; nearly 35% of Baldwin Park residents are under the age of 18 years as compared to 25.7% nationwide. While the proportion of residents aged 18 to 64 years is similar to all comparison groups, the proportion of Baldwin Park residents age 65 and older is much lower (by one -half to two - thirds) than the county, state, and national figures. While provisions should be made for Baldwin T'arp's older population., resources should be focused on providing stimulating spaces and recreational opportunities for youth and younger adults, the predominant populations. Income Income levels are also significant factors in recreation planning. In general, people with higher incomes tend to be more active and participate in more expensive activities. Due to financial constraints, lower -- income communities may face limitations in recreation planning and programming. Baldwin Park's median household income is nearly identical to the median income of Los Angeles County, but per capita income is significantly less — almost half of the income totals for all comparison groups. The primary reasons for a low per capita income in Baldwin Parr include much larger average household size (4.44 vs. 2.98 in LA County) and a large youth population. Diversity Ethnicity plays a role in the demand for recreational resources: higher participation levels in some types of recreational activities are associated with different cultural groups. The cultural make -up of Baldwin Park is diverse with less than half of the population identifying themselves as white in the 2000 Census. Additionally, 79 percent of the total population identify themselves as Latino or Hispanic. Baldwin Park's cultural diversity means that a variety of languages are spoken in the city. This may have implications for recreation services, such as types of programs offered and the need for multilingual outreach materials. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page 8-5 Appendix B: Community Context & Needs 13.2 EXISTING PLAINS & FACILITIES Existing Plans Previous planning efforts reveal much about a community and can provide direction for current and future planning efforts. Of greatest importance to the current planning effort are the 2020 General Plan and the San Gabriel River Master Plan. The 2020 General Plan is the City of Baldwin Park's long -range plan to move the community into the twenty -first century. It capitalizes on the community's physical, economic, and human resources, and provides direction for future growth and development. Plan recommendations include: preserving existing parks and open spaces; improving existing facilities' amenities, thereby enhancing park utilization; and maintaining a sufficient supply of recreation facilities for the growing population. The plan also states that recreation areas should serve both active and passive recreation functions in order to accommodate all ages, individuals, and groups where feasible. In particular, the plan recommends working with the Baldwin Park Unified School District to expand playground use by the community. The San Gabriel River Master Plan is a consensus - -based master plan that addresses River corridor issues and key stakeholders' concerns. It includes areas within existing rights of way from Morris Dam in the San Gabriel Mountains to the River's outlet in Seal Beach. Direction is provided for regulation, preservation, and development. The plan recommends the enhancement of the open space system through conservation, aesthetics, increased connectivity, stewardship, and multipurpose uses. Linkages to other open space networks are addressed through implementation of the Ramona Boulevard gateway project and the CalTrans Right- of-Way Open Space and Trail Project. Amenity improvements are recommended for Barnes Park and Walnut Creek Nature Park and Nature Center. Existing Parks & Facilities While Baldwin Park operates only seven parks, those parks contain a wide breadth of playground equipment, sport facilities, shelters, recreation buildings, and landscaping. In addition to providing and maintaining a system of parks and major recreational amenities, Baldwin Park offers extensive recreational and cultural arts programs and services. The wide array of programming offered by Baldwin Page 8-6 Baidwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Appendix B: Community Context &Bleeds Park makes its programs and services appealing to residents of nearby cities. Both active and passive recreation are supported in the City's park system. Baldwin Park is the area's only provider of skate park facilities and a high - school -age --only teen center. Recreation buildings include a community center, senior center, family service center, teen center, and recreation building. Baldwin Park's limited parr acreage is very heavily used by the community for a diverse range of activities. Park Lands While the City of Baldwin Parr has a shortage of park land and open space, the parks that do exist provide many amenities for a variety of tastes. Providing playgrounds, athletic courts and fields, as well as open areas for toss and catch activities there are five active use parks: Morgan, Barnes, Syhre, Hilda Solis, and Roadside. There is one passive use park, Walnut Creek Nature Park, a facility for families to gather in quiet places to enjoy nature. Trails There are currently no trails or designated pedestrian /bicvcle routes in Baldwin Park, outside of those within existing parks. The majority of roadways do have sidewalks, but none prioritize the pedestrian or cyclist. Changing this would create linkages to other surrounding trails and amenities. School Sites Schools are an important resource for recreation facilities such as sports fields, playgrounds, gymnasiums, and open space. The Baldwin Parr Unified School District is the public school organization serving Baldwin Park, and it maintains nineteen facilities with recreation amenities. The addition of school fields and playground facilities adds approximately 169 acres to Baldwin Park's recreational resources. Joint -use agreements to use school sites in Baldwin Park provide residents with additional active recreation opportunities close to their homes. Schools are distributed relatively evenly throughout the City of Baldwin Park, with a school site within a quarter -mile of any location throughout the City. Nearby Resources The Baldwin Park planning area enjoys proximity and easy access to several mark and recreational amenities around LA County. Local county facilities include Santa Fe Darn Regional Park, Los Angeles Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page B-7 Appendix &: Community Context & Needs County Arboretum, Frank G. Bonelli Regional Parr, and Whittier Narrows Regional Park and Nature Center. County parks provide opportunities for Baldwin Park residents to utilize extensive trail networks, swim, play sports, picnic, and enjoy the outdoors. B.3 RECREATION NEEDS ASSESSMENT The purpose of the Recreation Needs Assessment is to establish in quantifiable terms the need for park - related amenities and recreation facilities in Baldwin Park. The identified community needs are used as a basis for determining recommendations for system -wide improvements, including potentially acquiring or developing new park sites, redeveloping existing parks, and partnering with other service providers, The Recreation Needs Assessment provides the information necessary to make informed decisions on how many parks and facilities to provide in Baldwin Park now and in the future. However, it is possible that the City will decide on actions that do not meet all needs identified. A portion of future community needs may be met by other agencies, such as school districts or private developers. The community may also decide to prioritize some needs over others, and to make compromises about meeting selected needs. The provision of parks and facilities will also be influenced by funding options, land availability, potential partnerships, etc. Methodology The process for completing the needs assessment in Baldwin Park included an inventory of existing park and recreation amenities; an evaluation of public input on park and recreation needs; an analysis of recreational amenities using a combination of methods to determine a recommended level of service (LOS); and applying the LOS standards to determine current and future recreational amenity needs. Inventory The existing parks were categorized into three general categories: active, passive, and special use. Active and passive parks had five sub categories: playground, toss and catch, athletic courts, places to gather, and green oasis. Active Use Parks: Active use parks focus on providing active recreation opportunities, through facilities such as playgrounds, playing fields, and basketball courts. Open turf areas are also typically an element in active use parks to support a wide range of uses. The Page B-8 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Appendix B. Community Context & Needs types of facilities and amenities offered in an active use park depend on the size and scale of the park. Support facilities depend on the amenities offered in a particular park; more amenities require more support facilities, such as restroorm and parking. ■ Playground --- Playgrounds provide a variety of play experiences for children of diverse ages at a single location and often have accommodations for parents and families such as benches and other site furnishings. Baldwin Parr currently has three playgrounds located within existing parrs: Morgan Park, Barnes Park, and Solis Park. Walnut Creek Nature Park does have play equipment, but it is not included in the current inventory because its equipment is outdated and in poor condition. ■ Place to toss and catch — Open grassy areas to run, kick, throw, and catch are at a minimum 50' x 100' to be counted in the inventory. Baldwin Park currently has five places to toss and catch located within existing parks: Morgan Park, Barnes Park, Solis Park, Roadside Park, and Syhre Park. ■ Athletic courts --- Sport courts include basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts, which are currently provided by Morgan Park, Barnes Park, and Solis lark. Passive Use Parks: Passive use parks focus on providing trail - related recreation opportunities and passive outdoor activities such as bird and wildlife watching. Accessory amenities can be provided in this type of park, such as picnic areas, playgrounds, and even small turf areas, provided they complement the park's passive -- oriented uses. A place to gather — Places to gather are shaded public spaces that can accommodate at least 20 -25 people with a restrooan and tables (the presence of a shelter and grill are preferred). Baldwin Park currently has four places to gather outdoors. All four of these facilities are located within existing parks: Morgan Park, Barnes Park, Solis Park, and Walnut Creek Park. • Green oasis — A green oasis is an area that provides a refuge from the urban landscape and a connection to nature. Minimum size is flexible, but a green oasis should be relatively quiet and include one or more natural features, such as large trees. Baldwin Park currently has two green Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page B -9 Appendix B: Community Context & Needs oases located within existing parrs: Morgan lark and Walnut Creep Nature Park, Special Use Areas: Special use areas are miscellaneous parr lands or stand -alone recreation sites designed to support a specific, specialized use. Some of the facilities in this classification are sports field complexes, community centers, community gardens, aquatic centers, historic sites, or sites occupied by buildings alone. Specialized facilities may also be provided within another park of a different classification. Public Input There are very few opportunities for Baldwin Park to increase the number of parks included in the system due to the built -out nature of the city. using results from the Community Questionnaire and feedback gathered from staff and community members, MIG has identified some suggestions to address the constraints: Establish a joint Use Agreement with BPSUD: Residents who attended the Community Vision Workshop identified partnering with the school district as a major opportunity for recreational amenities. Nearly 35 percent of youth who responded to the Community Recreation Questionnaire indicated that recreation activities should be provided at schools, While neighbors most likely use school grounds for general recreation and leisure already, there is no formal agreement between the school district and the City defining non - school recreational uses. .Improve Access: The overall vision expressed at the Community Vision Workshop was to improve access to recreation for residents of all ages and levels. Issues with the existing walling environment such as poor connectivity, unsafe street crossings, general safety, and poor lighting were identified as barriers to recreational activities. Participants in the workshop wanted to create walkable connections to existing parks and schools. Create a Pedestrian and Bicycle Network: Creating a pedestrian and bicycle network system throughout Baldwin parr is a high priority for residents. Public input suggests the need for a system of paths that lie both on and off existing transportation corridors. Off - street paths will run along drainage basins and utility corridors. The majority of on- street routes will be on or adjacent to low - traffic streets. A variety of treatments can be administered including separated multi -use paths, bike lanes, and traffic calming. A small Page B- 10 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion Appendix 8. Community Context & Needs portion of proposed on- street routes will inevitably be placed on or adjacent to major roadways, to make key connections between trails and major recreation facilities. .Increase Existing Parks" Amenities: There is a need for more recreation fields, places for children to play, and large outdoor spaces for people to gather, but there are few (if any) opportunities to acquire additional land. Level of Service Analysis Determining the level of service for the five basic recreational amenities - playgrounds, places to toss and catch, athletic courts, places to gather, and green oases - involved identifying underserved areas of the community and calculating the level of service standards. Service Areas: Determining the service areas for the basic recreational arnenides involved identifying barriers, accounting for varying types of travel, assessing travel distance thresholds, and determining the service areas around the existing park amenities. Service areas can be determined using two types of methods: 1) a Euclidian, or straight -line method ( "as the crow flies ") and 2) network distance method, which follows the actual path of travel. A straight line buffer assumes that recreational participants can travel directly from point A to point B with no impediments. A network distance method takes into account road and trail networks, and associated barriers getting from point A to point B. Considering the network routes actually used by residents is especially important when connectivity is less than ideal. The existing street grid in Baldwin Park is similar in nature to that found in cities of similar size and age. The prevalence of elongated blocks and cul -de- sacs in Baldwin Parr supports the use of the network distance method of determining service areas. This style of development increases the distance people need to travel to get froth point A to point B. For the needs analysis, the network included existing roads and proposed trails. Current Level of Service: Level of service is traditionally calculated without adequate consideration for access. Thus, a community of 10,000 residents with 50 athletic courts at a single location has a level of service of 1 athletic court per 200 residents. A routine examination of recreational amenities may overlook the fact that the majority of residents have to travel a relatively long distance to access the single athletic court location. The community would be much better. served Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page B- 11 Appendix B: Community Context & Needs by ten geographically dispersed facilities with five athletic courts at each. Therefore, MIG considered both the traditional level of service for each basic recreational need and geographic dispersion of those amenities. Identifying Underserved Areas: Calculating the need for additional recreational amenities is based upon identification of underserved areas. Using the service areas calculated for the existing recreational amenities, a deductive process of identifying underserved geographic areas was employed. General locations for proposed facilities that would adequately serve currently underserved areas were then. determined.

The level of service standard was then applied to the current population of 81,226 residents to determine existing need for recreational amenities. Existing surplus /need was then calculated by subtracting the calculated need from the existing inventory. Summary Of deeds A brief summary of the current and future needs for basic recreation amenities in Baldwin Park is provided in Table B below. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Alan Page B -17 APPENDIX C. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT m - Appendix C. Public Involvement C.1 INTRODUCTION In Fall 2005, the Citq of Baldwin Park began developing a Comprehensive Park and Recreation Master Plan to guide the City's park and recreation services for the next twenty years. As part of the planning process, the City embarked on an extensive community outreach program to ensure that the plan reflects community values, visions, and priorities. The outreach program included; ■ A community questionnaire distributed at City events, by staff, volunteers and officials, and through con--azaunity groups. More than 1,100 questionnaires were completed. ■ A telephone survey of a random sample of Baldwin Park households asking about the feasibility of an assessment increase, participation in City programs, and use of parks. ■ Stakeholder interviews with the mayor, City Council, City CEO, Parks and Recreation Commissioners, aaad School District Superintendent. ■ A public visioning workshop; and ■ A booth at a summer concert to get input on plan concepts. Through these efforts, more than 1,500 Baldwin Park residents provided input into the plan. C.2 COMMUNITY QUESTIONNAIRE On December 3" 2005, Baldwin Park Recreation and Community Services staff began administering the Community Recreation Questionnaire at events around the city. Through April 2006, City officials and student volunteers also distributed the questionnaire to community groups. Separate youth and adult questionnaires were developed, both with English and Spanish versions. Although the distribution method for the questionnaire was not intended to produce a statistically valid sample, a large enough segment of Baldwin Park residents responded to make it a good gauge of public opinion. A total of 1,167 questionnaires were returned and tallied; overall key findings and the results for each question follow. In this section, community -wide key findings are described, followed by adult and youth findings, Sa Yd Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan �� �� ��� — Page C -3 Appendix C: Public Involvement Key Findings • Overall, Baldwin Park residents seem to value spaces and activities that draw and can accommodate the entire community; 31.6% of questionnaire respondents believe that large, multi -use parks are the most needed type of park. • Baldwin Park is a team sports - oriented community, Sports fields are the second priority for park development (21.6%), and residents participate in team sports such as basketball and baseball more than the averaged results from the last 15 cominunides surveyed by the consultant team. • This emphasis on team sports is also seen in the responses of Baldwin Park youth -41.3% of youth respondents would like to have more sports activities offered, and 27.8% of youth say that playing sports is the primary reason they go to parks, • Although parrs are popular, attendance is not as high for recreation or cultural activities -52.5% of adult respondents do not participate in these types of activities. Of this group, 26.9% do not participate because they are not aware of what programs are available. • Music and other performing arts are of interest to Baldwin Parr residents. Over 36% of adult respondents want concerts or other performing arts programs (theater, dance, etc.) held in community parks, and 26% of youth aged 15 -18 would like to attend more concerts and dances. Adult Questionnaire Baldwin Park residents age 18 and older were asked to fill out the adult questionnaire, which contained demographic questions, as well as questions about parks, programs, and recreation participation. Results for each question are summarized below, In cases where age group responses differ from overall findings, findings for a particular age group are noted Both the adult and youth questionnaires were offered in English and Spanish, While all youth residents chose to complete the English version of the youth survey, approximately one -third of adult respondents chose the Spanish version of the survey. Results did not significantly differ between English and Spanish versions of the survey. Thus, responses to English and Spanish versions of the adult survey are aggregated below.

Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page C- I t Appendix C: Public Involvement Youth Questionnaire A separate questionnaire was distributed to youth, with slightly different questions aimed at eliciting their unique priorities for parks and recreation activities. Question 1: How old are you? Most youth respondents are under 15 years old (64.8 %), perhaps because the }younger children are attending activities with a parent or guardian. Question 2: Male or female? Responses are evenly split, and generally in line with the youth gender breakdown in Baldwin Park. Boys slightly outnumber girls in the responses.

Page G 16 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Appendix 0 Public Involvement Recreation Participation & Preferences Recreation demand is difficult to quantify because of the many factors that influence recreation participation and interests. These include: • Demographics; • Lack of facilities or condition of facilities; • Climate; • Current recreation trends, including local trends; • Cost to use facilities and programs; • Economic conditions; and • Amount of recreation programs and services offered. The table on the next page shows participation rates for the top 25 recreation activities in Baldwin Parr, as reported by adult and youth questionnaire respondents choosing from a list of 50 activities. The per capita occasions for a 30 -day period refer to the average number of tunes each person participated in the activity when the activity is in season in a 30 -day period. These activities are ranked so that the most popular activities in Baldwin Park appear first. The consultant teams tracks recreation participation information from communities surveyed throughout the west coast. Baldwin Park's participation rates can be compared with the MIG AVERAGE (the average participation of the last 15 communities surveyed by MIG) to reveal where specific activities are above or below the norm,. The table below also includes the current MIG AVERAGE participation rate for each activity. Where the number of comparables was low, no MIG AVERAGE figure is shown.

The "MIG Average" is computed from data sets from the last 15 communities in which the MIG team has administered this type of questionnaire or survey.

Page C 18Wm rtBaldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Appendix C. Pubfic fnvofvernent • Using computers is the number one activity for both Baldwin Park respondents and the MIG average. • The third most frequent recreation activity in Baldwin Park is walking for pleasure, despite the lack of passive recreation opportunities such as trails. • Eight of the 11 activities with participation higher than the MTG Average are sports, most of which are team sports. Basketball is particularly popular in Baldwin Park --- participation is almost three tunes as high as the MIG Average. • Both football and soccer have higher participation than the MIG Average. However, it is important to note that both football and soccer are listed on the questionnaire. In general, soccer usually ranks much higher than football. It is possible that some respondents selected football instead of soccer, resulting in football's unusually high ranking in Baldwin Park. • Respondents in Baldwin Park walk for pleasure, walk dogs or go to dog parks, and visit playgrounds less frequently than the MIG Average. This may be due to a lack of opportunities to pursue these activities, given the limited park inventory in Baldwin Park. Baidwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page C -19 Appendix C.

At least three of the activities with latent demand (social dancing, attending concerts, and dancing (ballet, tap, etc.)) can be accommodated by the City's Arts & Recreation Center, currently under construction. four additional activities -- movies (attending), fairs and festivals, photography, and group day trips — could be designed either to take place at the ARC or to be cultural activities. Fairs and festivals and group day trips could also be designed to provide opportunities for people to participate in other preferred activities, such as paint ball games, bowling, or a sports activity. C.3 TELEPHONE SURVEY In May and June of 2006, Northwest Survey and Data Services, in close cooperation with MIG and representatives from the Cite of Baldwin Park, conducted a telephone survey of a random sample of those Baldwin Park residents who own property within the city limits. The major goal of this survey was to determine whether there is support for an assessment increase, and if so, what amount. As part of the survey, respondents were also asked about their use of City park and recreation services and their level of satisfaction with those services. A total of 402 residents out of the random sample met the property ownership criteria; and the survey's margin of error is ±4.8 %. Support for an Assessment Increase The survey began by informing respondents that Baldwin Park was in need of additional income to continue operation of park facilities and programs, and then asking if they would be willing to pay more than the current assessment, which is $27.55 per year. Slightly more than one -third of respondents (35 %) were willing to pay more. Those respondents who were unwilling to pay more than the current assessment were given additional information about the efforts Baldwin Park has undertaken in the past five years to build or renovate parks and then asked again if they would be willing to pay more than the current assessment. Once made aware of these facts, an additional 12% of respondents indicated a willingness to pay a Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pion Page C -21 Appendix C: Public Involvement larger assessment. At this point a total of 47% of respondents had now indicated that they would pay a larger assessment. There were significant differences between those willing to pay a larger assessment and those who were not In particular, willingness to pay was almost twice as high among those with children, and more than twice as high arnong those who use recreation facilities or who have participated in a city- sponsored recreation program. In addition, willingness was much higher among those under the age of 60. Those who were unwilling to pay an assessment increase were asked for the main reason they did not want to see costs increased. Financial concerns strongly dominated the list of reasons. This fits well with the decline in willingness seen in those above 60, who are much more likely to be on a fixed income and unlikely to have children in their home. Size of Supported Assessment Increase The 47% of respondents who indicated a willingness to pay a larger assessment, along with those who were unsure, were next asked a series of questions about the size of an increase they would support. Starting with $80 a year, only 33% of those willing to increase their assessment, or 17% of the overall home - owning population, were willing to support that large of an increase.. At $60 a year, additional respondents were supportive, for a total of 27% of the overall population. At $45 a year, even more respondents were supportive, for a total of 40% of the overall Baldwin Park population. Those few respondents who had indicated a willingness to pay a larger assessment, but who would not support paying at least $$45 a year were asked how much they would be willing to pay. Their responses ranged from Tess than the current assessment ($20) up to $49. Most were willing to pay approximately $40. As a final effort to see if information would change the willingness to pay, all respondents who had indicated a willingness to see their assessment increased, but who would not support paying either $80 a year or $$60 a year, were given information about the efforts Baldwin Park has undertaken in the past five years to build or renovate parks and then asked if they would be willing pay $$60 a year. An additional 14 respondents indicated a willingness to pay $$60 a year, bringing the total percentage of respondents willing to pay 60 or more up to 31%. Page C -22 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Appendix C: Pubfic Involvement Based on these results, it appears that an assessment of around $40 per year would be the most feasible to pass. Use of Parks and Recreation Facilities After the questions on park and recreation assessment fees, respondents were asked about their use of Baldwin Park recreation facilities. Most respondents (73 %) claimed that they dial not currently use any recreation facilities in the city. Use rates were highest among respondents with children under 18 in the home, at 45 %. Following the general question about use of Baldwin Park recreation facilities, respondents were next asked about their use of specific parks and facilities during the last 12 months. Use rates for all of the Parks and facilities were relatively low, with the exception of Morgan Park, where 38% of respondents claimed to have visited the park within the last 12 months. This use rate is significantly higher than the overall rate of park use respondents had previously reported (27 %). Most likely respondents were not able to recall every instance of park use until asked about the specific parks. After Morgan Park, the most commonly used facility was the Esther Snyder Community Center. (14 %), followed by the Julia McNeill Senior Center (11 %), and the Aquatic Center (9 %). All other parks and facilities were used by a smaller number of respondents. In the cases of Syhre Park, Roadside Park, and Walnut Creek Nature Park, only I% of respondents claimed to have used the park in the previous 12 months. In addition to asking about facilities, respondents were also questioned on the frequency with which they used parks and facilities. Having now been sensitized to the full range of Baldwin Park facilities, a much smaller percentage (47 1/'o) said they never used facilities. However, the most common use rate was only "once or twice a year" by 22% of respondents. At the other end of the spectrum of use, 3% used facilities "daily" and 9% used there "weekly." kly." Recreation Programs Respondents were also interviewed about their participation in Baldwin Park recreation programs. Twenty percent reported that they or a member of their household had participated in a City - sponsored recreation program at some time during the last two years. &afdwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Pian Page C -23 Appendix C Public Involvement Participants were most likely to be between 40 and 50 years old and to have children under age 18 in the home. In addition to participation in Baldwin Park recreation programs, respondents were asked if they participated in recreation programs run by other cities. Twenty-one percent of respondents reported that they do visit other cities for their recreation programs. Of those respondents who participate in recreation programs run by other cities, almost half (47 %) also are participants in Baldwin Park's recreation programs. Those who did participate in the Baldwin Park programs thought very highly of the programs. Seventy -nine percent thought the programs were either "excellent" or "good," and only 12% thought they "need improvement.,, When asked to suggest new prograrnmxming that might be added by Baldwin Park, respondents produced a list of ideas. Many of the ideas centered on programs for young children and teens. Telephone Survey Conclusions What does the information gathered in this survey show in terms of the possibility of passing a bond measure? On the simple question of whether or not property owners in Baldwin Park will support a measure to increase the park and recreation assessment, the estimate from this survey is that 47% support such a measure. It is important to remember that to get to this level of support, some people had to receive information about the recent improvements and additions to park and recreation facilities in Baldwin Park. It is also important to remember that this survey has a margin of error of ±4.8% and that the true level of support for an assessment measure is anywhere from 42% to 52 %. On the more difficult question of what level of increase property owners might support, the answer is slightly more complicated. Only 31% of respondents will support an increase in the assessment of $60 a year. A lower assessment level of $45 a year is supported by slightly over 41% of property owners. Again, these estimates need to be viewed with consideration for the margin of error. It is possible that as many 46% of property owners will pay $45 a year, but it could also be that only 36% are currently willing. The survey results indicate that it might be possible to pass an increase in the assessment, if there is a good educational campaign Page CY __..f...—_ — Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Ptan- Appendix C: Public Involvement around the measure and if there is no organized opposition. However, such a measure would most likely fail if the amount of money asked for were much more than around $40 a year. In addition, the most likely support group that could be organized to work in favor of a ballot measure would consist of the participants from the recreation programs and the parents of school age children. CA STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS In February 2006, members of the consultant team met with several stakeholders in the Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park Master Plan process. These key players included the mayor and the city council, the parks and recreation commission, and school district representatives. Listed below are highlights from these conversations. • A healthy community is a major focus of many stakeholders. This includes the frill spectrum of health, from active recreation to diabetes prevention to walkable neighborhoods. Activities should be spread throughout the city in "neighborhood nodes." • Park and recreation services are excellent, but could be taken to the next level. The high duality, creative staff is more than ready for this. • The major challenge to be met is lack of space, particularly on the north side of Baldwin Park, • School sites are a logical place for park development, for example, Olive Junior High School. Schools offer a great deal of green space, and are potential sites for a sports complex. • Three major needs for active recreation were identified: soccer facilities, aquatic centers, and open gym time. • Stakeholders noted that transit, econoinic development, and parks are strongly related; transit will help maximize the use of parks and should be promoted and its service extended (especially on nights when concerts are featured). Available transit is especially important for seniors and youth, • Continuing the vision of a healthy Baldwin Park, a farmers' market (along with a street festival) and community garden . should be part of the master plan. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page C-25 Appendix C: Public Involvement C.5 PUBLIC VISIONING WORKSHOP On March 9, 2000, a community vision workshop was held at the senior center at Morgan Parr. Facilitated by the consultant team, this was an opportunity for Baldwin Park residents to get involved with the parkas and recreation planning process. The first part of the workshop was an open house with interactive boards. The participants were then convened into a large group visioning session. During the course of the workshop, children were invited to draw pictures of their ideal park. For a sense of the evening, participants' comments and selected photographs from the meeting are summarized below. Large Group Visioning Overall Vision: • State of the art • Accessible for all ages • Accessible for all levels Needed Programs: • Basketball. for youth /teens • Soccer for youth /teens • All ages — children, teens, adults, and seniors Issues: • Not enough park space • More space for bids to play • Gym needs room for parents to exercise • Specialized maintenance for natural areas (like Walnut Creek Park) • Money • Walking safety— improve physical elements plus educate the community • Lighting and street crossing distances Inunediate need for increased swim program —all children and youth, plus all ages Opportunities: Partner with School District Page C-26 8aidwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Appendix C.- Public lnvolverrment • Preserve and increase green space —both natural areas (Walnut Creek Park) and recreation areas • Increase marketing ---- -- advertise great programs with signs • Add bus stops at schools so teens can get to the parks • Bring back the City track and field meets • Have an ice skating rink and a pool (all age activity) • Use a person -to- person marketing network Take advantage of Santa Fe Dam • Increase competitive spirit • Create WALKABLE connections to parks (Safe Walk to Schools grant) • Buiid a sports center • Partner with recreation organizations, hospitals /health organizations, churches Strengths: • Existing GREAT programs and parks • Transportation system — inexpensive • Walnut Creek Park ----- unique in this region • Council, School District, and Water Board are working together Open House Results During the open house portion of the workshop, participants were asked to provide input on a series of interactive boards. These boards asked participants to indicate where they live and which parks and facilities they visit, and to vote for their favorites on a series of boards showing images of a variety of park elements. Each of the boards is shown on the following two pages, depicting a visual summary of the results of each board.

At this workshop, kids were encouraged to draw their ideal park and identify which features were most important to them. Fifteen drawings of parks were created during the workshop. Many of the drawings include soccer fields, with several others featuring playgrounds and slides. A selection of drawings is included below. Teen Meeting Following the Public Visioning Workshop, the consultant team met with leaders of the Healthy Eating Active Communities (HEAC) /Statewide Youth Board on Match 28, 2006. The youth organization compiled a report on "Teen Participatory Research on Physical Activity Environments of Baldwin Park." The most significant problems in Baldwin Park they uncovered were access to public swimming pools and safe bicycle routes (either dedicated lanes or trails). They also noted that physical activity programs currently offered did not interest them or were held at inconvenient times (weekdays). They reported that while many recreation facilities are overcrowded, most parks in Baldwin Park were underused, primarily because residents were unaware of the parks and the programs offered in them. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page C -29 Appendix C: Public Involvement C.G PUBLIC WORKSHOP BOOTH On July 13, 2006, an interactive booth to present ideas and concepts to the public and get feedback was set up at a Thursday summer concert series event. The date was chosen because performers on July 13"', Little Joe y La Familia, were one of the most popular acts in 2005, so a large turnout was expected. The booth was set up by 4:00 to catch people arriving early to get prime seats on the concert lawn and was staffed until shortly after 5:00 p.m., when it became too dark to see the exhibits. Seven boards were used in the booth. One board described the parks master plan process. Two boards asked about park amenities, one asking where five types of amenities should be sited, and another asked for feedback on walking /biking routes.

Paris, Walnut Creek Nature Park, Hilda Solis .park, Roadside Park., Barnes Park, and Syhre Park and asked for input on the concepts. Many of those who stopped at the booth and looked at the boards commented verbally, rather than writing comments on the boards. In general, people were positive about the efforts of the City to improve parks in recent years, and were interested in the prospect of additional improvements. A surprisingly high number of respondents were unaware of the existence of Solis Park. More were aware of Walnut Creek Nature Park. Overall, respondents liked the concepts shown for each of the park sites. However, a .major comment about the City's parks was to incorporate more shade. In addition, several attendees commented on their preference for the change in location of the Summer Concert series, and indicated they preferred the lawn location, rather than the amphitheater. Page C:i -- Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan APPENDIX D. POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES A- Appendix D: Funding Sources D.1 OVERVIEW At the current time, Baldwin Parr has limited funding sources to pay for park and facility improvements. To meet the recreation needs identified in this plan, new financial resources will be needed. The following is a list of existing and potential funding sources the City should consider. D.2 LOCAL FUNDING SOURCES General Fund This is the City's primary source for operating revenue and comes primarily from taxes. For many cities, this is the primary revenue source for park and facility improvements. In Baldwin Park, the amount has varied considerably. For example, in FY 2003, the General Fund paid out $650,000 for a portion of the cost of the Teen Center and $305,800 for improvements to the Eastside Little League Field. In FY 2002, the General Fund paid $81,000 towards the Teen Center. Park and Recreation Fees charged under the Quimby Act are In Lieu Fees calculated based on the cost of land acquisition and a State standard allowing a ratio of 3 -5 acres per 1,000 population. The specific ratio is based on the current standard but cannot exceed five acres per 1,000 population.. Since the current overall ratio in Baldwin Park is less than five acres per 1,000 population, only the minimum rate can be imposed (3 acres per 1,000). The revenue from Quimby Fees (often referred to as in -lieu parkland fees) can be used to purchase parkland or improve existing parkland. The Quimby Act applies to subdivided single - family property and is applied at the time of subdivision approval. It does not apply to apartments or home additions. With Baldwin Park mostly developed, revenue from this source will be minimal. However, if the downtown redevelopment projects proceed, there would be an opportunity to collect this type of fee. Since 2004, the City has collected about $120,000. Another possibility for further residential development is infill lots where single are subdivided, Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Page D -3 Appendix D: Funding Sources Park Impact Fees Under AB 1600, fees can be charged for all types of residential development, and in some cases, for non - residential development. The fee is applied at the time of acquiring the building permit. Park Impact Fees must be based on the current level of service to ensure that new development does not pay for any existing deficiencies in park development. AB 1600 requires certain procedures for calculating and administering the fee, In Baldwin Park, a Development Tax is imposed up to a maximum of $1,000 per household. Currently there is $48,000 in the account. In FY 04105, $63,250 was generated from this source. The money goes into the General Fund and is used for police services, infrastructure and park improvements. Landscaping and This funding mechanism permits a public Lighting Act agency to assess housing units or land parcels for a variety of city services. The assessment revenues can be used for parkland acquisition, development and/or maintenance. The agency can choose to use the revenue generated on a pay -as- you -go basis or can sell bonds in order to receive a lump sum amount. The bonds are then paid back from the annual revenue generated from the assessment. Establishment of a district or revision to an existing assessment district requires a simple majority vote of property owners. Because establishing a landscape and lighting district requires only a simple majority vote, it has become more popular than seeking approval of a general obligation bond. The City currently has an assessment in place for street landscape maintenance. General Obligation These are voter- approved bonds with the Bond assessment placed on real property. The money can only be used for capital improvements and not maintenance. This property tax is levied for a specified period of time (usually 15 -20 years). Passage requires a two - thirds majority approval by voters. Major disadvantages of this funding option are high approval requirements and the interest costs. Page D -4 Baldwin Park Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan Appendix D: Funding Sources Revenue Bonds These bonds are sold and paid for from the revenue produced from the operation of a facility. Baldwin Park does not have any recreational facilities that are funded in this manner. Councifmanic Bonds Councilmanic bonds may be sold by cities without a public vote, up to the limit of 1.5% of the total assessed value in the City. These bonds are retired with payments from existing city revenue., Exchange or Sale of If the City has an excess piece of property with Property some development value it could be traded for a private piece of property more suitable for park use, or sold to generate revenue. City Redevelopment The City has six redevelopment project areas Funds in place but they are oriented towards commercial and industrial development. However, a major redevelopment project is in the discussion stage along Ramona Blvd near Morgan Park. Proposed for this area would be high density residential and commercial uses. If this were to occur, there would be demand for open space areas that could be funded from redevelopment funds, park impact fees or negotiations with developers. User Fees Cities may charge fees for public or private use of publicly owned park and recreation facilities. Lifetime Estates This is an agreement between the City and a land owner, where the City acquires the property but gives the owner the right to live on the site after the property transfer. Certificates of This is a lease- purchase approach where the Participation City sells Certificates of Participation (CODs) to a lending institution. The City then pays the loan off from revenue produced by the facility or from its general operating budget. The lending institution holds title to the property until the COPS are repaid. This procedure does not require a vote of the public. Exactions Costs of necessary public improvements are passed onto the adjacent landowners through the development agreement process.

In addition to bicycle, pedestrian, and trail - related projects, these funds can generally be used for landscape and amenity improvements related to trail and transportation projects. In terms of recreation, the program primarily funds landscape and amenity improvements related to trail and transportation projects. The money can be used for both maintenance and capital construction, but is primarily focused on regional systems and not local neighborhood trails. Recommendations in Chapter 3 list several regional trails that would qualify for this grant program. Land and Water This grant program is funded by the National Conservation Park Service and administered by California Funds State Parks. In the past this was one of the major sources of grant money for local agencies. In the 1990s, funding at the federal level was severely cut and has never been funded to the level it once had, The funds can be used for acquisition and development of outdoor facilities and requires a 50% match. Urban Forestry There are several grant programs that provide Grants money for urban forestry projects. One is funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration and provides grants to purchase and plant trees. This program sometimes funds urban street tree planting programs.

DA OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES joint Public /Private This concept has become increasingly Partnership popular for park and recreation agencies. The basic approach is for a public agency to enter into a working agreement with a private corporation to help fund, build, and/or operate a public facility. Generally, the three primary incentives that a public agency can offer is free land to place a facility (usually a park or other piece of public land), certain tax advantages and access to the facility. While the public agency may have to give up certain responsibilities or control, it is one way of obtaining public facilities at a lower cost. Sponsorships /Naming Revenue can be generated through Rights sponsorships or by selling naming rights, where a private individual or business makes a financial contribution in exchange for recognition or the right to name a facility. Donations The donations of labor, land, or cash by service agencies, private groups or individuals are a popular way to raise small amounts of money for specific projects.

In the past, there was a major capital campaign for the Teen Center and one is underway for the Arts and Recreation Center and Senior Center. Land Trusts Land trusts, such as the Trust for Public Land, Inc. and the Nature Conservancy will acquire and hold land for eventual acquisition by a public agency. Private Grants and Private grants and foundations provide Foundations money for a wide range of projects, targeted to the foundation's specific mission. A number of foundations do not provide grants to governments, and grants are difficult to find and equally difficult to secure because of the open competition. Baldwin Park Comprehensive Pork and Recreation Plan Page D -9 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA JUN 2 0 2007 F11 A% CITY OF BALDWIN PARK RE T BALDWI P - A • R - K TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Maria Contreras, City Treasurer David A. Bass, Interim Budget Officer DATE: June 20, 2007 SUBJECT: BANKING SERVICES — SELECTION OF CITY'S BANK PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with a recommendation of a bank that will restructure banking services for the City of Baldwin Park and reduce cost/increase interest income. BACKGROUND Pursuant to City Council authorization, staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to banks providing governmental services, with the goal of restructuring the banking services, reducing the cost of banking services, and increase interest income. On December 6, 2006, City Council approved the issuance of a RFP. On April 18, 2007, staff presented a report to the City Council regarding the results of the banking services RFP and oral interviews. City Council requested staff to solicit additional information from the top three banks (Bank of the West, US Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank). The information requested was: 1. Past and expected future community involvement. 2. How the location of the branch serving the City will impact the City 3. Provide the bank with an opportunity to improve on the previously submitted proposal. DISCUSSION All three of the top ranked banks submitted written proposals pursuant to the second round of the RFP process. Additionally, Bank of the West decided to rewrite their original proposal. Based on a review of their revised proposal, if it had been submitted in the first round would have ranked very close to both US Bank's and Wells Fargo's original proposal (the top two written proposals). For round two of the proposal process, Bank of the West provided a superior response regarding community involvement (the round two proposals for each bank are attached) as they were more specific as to the involvement within Baldwin Park. All three banks reduced some of the fee items and US Bank increased the interest rate on the sweep account. The City desires to pay for the services using the compensating balance method, which means that the City will have a balance in the account sufficient to cover the monthly cost. The City currently uses this method. Based on the average monthly account balance, the City will have excess balances that can be "sweep" overnight and earn interest. Using each banks proposed method for determining the interest rate, staff calculated to interest income to be received by the City. In reviewing the revised pricing portion of the proposal, the key to the City is the sweep income. The cost of the service, which the City intends to continue to pay via compensated balances (which are not available for sweep income) indicate the remaining amount of balance that can be invested in the sweep account. In other words, the lower the cost of the services, the greater the amount that can be invested. Bank of the West's proposal results in the highest income to the City. Based on the revised proposal the cost and sweep income are as follows: Monthly fees (paid by compensating balance): Round 1 Round 2 Bank Proposal Proposal Bank of the West $1,368.43 $1,082.64 US Bank $1,270.11 $1,238.55 Wells Fargo $1,219.04 $1,178.94 Annual Sweep Interest Income: Round 1 Round 2 Bank Proposal Proposal Bank of the West $53,700 $57,500 US Bank $52,400 $55,700 Wells Fargo $49,200 $49,800 The RFP stated that "Award will be made to the Proposer offering the most advantageous proposal after consideration of all evaluation criteria set forth below. The committee will evaluate all proposals received in accordance with the evaluation criteria. The City shall not be obligated to accept the lowest priced proposal, but will make an award in the best interest of the City after all factors have been evaluated ". The one exception to the requested services is from Bank of the West. While Bank of the West offers positive pay, they do not currently offer enhanced positive pay with payee identification (for checks issued by the City, the check date, dollar amount and payee must match before the check is cashed). This is an enhanced fraud protection. Bank of the West estimates they will offer this protection in the fall of 2007. FISCAL IMPACT A combination of reduction in fees and an increase in interest income will result in a net benefit to the City of about $57,000 per year. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends City Council approve the selection of Bank of the West as the City's bank and authorize the City Treasurer and Chief Executive Officer to execute the amended banking agreements, subject to review by the City Attorney.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Edwin "William" Galvez, Director of Public Works June 20, 2007 SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution Setting Rates for Residential and Commercial Refuse Related Services PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to provide information and background details so that the City Council may consider approving a resolution to adjust refuse related rates. BACKGROUND The City of Baldwin Park has an exclusive Franchise Agreement with Waste Management of the Pomona 1 San Gabriel Valley for services needed to collect all refuse and solid waste generated within the City of Baldwin Park. The current contract expires on June 30, 2010. DISCUSSION Pursuant to the terms outlined in the Franchise Agreement, Waste Management has submitted a request for an annual rate adjustment based on the consumer price index (CPI) calculated between March 2006 and March 2007, as well as for changes related to extraordinary landfill fees. The request has been evaluated and is in conformance with the requirements of the Franchise Agreement. Waste Management has requested consideration of a rate adjustment due to changes in the CPI for the Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange County areas which is 3.83 %. Waste Management has also requested consideration of a rate adjustment due to extraordinary costs for increases in landfill disposal fees which is 7.20 %. Both of these increases are summarized in the attachments. The CPI and landfill component of the overall rate is 63.85% and 36.15% respectively. This means the CPI and landfill increases apply to separate portions of the total rate for a net effect of 5.02% (3,83% x 63.85% + 7.20% x 36.15 %). However, for ease in calculating rates this increase has been rounded off to 5 %. Residential and Commercial Refuse Rates, FY 2007 -2008 Page 2 June 20, 2007 This 5% adjustment will be applied to the residential and commercial services rates, however, in order to remain competitive, discourage illegal roll off service, and to ensure the City continues to recycle to the maximum extent possible within this waste sector, staff has negotiated with Waste Management to once again forgo an increase in their charges for roll off service. Therefore, roll off rates will remain consistent with fiscal year 2005 -2006 levels. In addition, as part of the refuse rate increase staff has included the annual adjustment to the City's AB939 fees for the residential sector in the amount of $0.50 per month for customers on standard rates and $0.30 per month for those paying Senior discounted rates. Commercial fees are also being adjusted for the first time in 5 years from 3% to 3.5 %. Commercial AB939 fees have not been increased since 2002. These fees are collected pursuant to AB939 legislation and provide funding specifically for the City's programs related to complying with the legislation's mandates. The increase will ensure sufficient funding of all current required programs and position the City for being able to meet the anticipated raise of the 50% diversion requirement to as high as 75 %. Sewer and refuse related fees are considered user fees and not property taxes or property related fees, therefore these rate changes are not subject to a vote pursuant to Proposition 218. FISCAL IMPACT The General Fund will see an increase in franchise fee revenue estimated at $35,000 annually. Fund 129 (AB939) is estimated to see an annual increase in revenue of approximately $60,000.

Currently, the extra pick up charges in the rate schedule do not accurately reflect the collection costs. The collection fees should. be approximately 60 %n of the standard rate. The purpose of the extra pick up charge is to provide a fee for the occasional overage. The low extra pick up fees encourage customers to call in for extra pickups versus subscribing to the correct service level. Thus, the implementation of a correction of these rates will result in customers right sizing their trash and recycling services and decreasing the averages and litter in the city. u Haul or call fees If, at the time of collection at a commercial or industrial account, the container is not accessible to the collection vehicle or not ready for collection, Company will notify the account by telephone of the situation and request that access is provided. If the customer is unavailable or unable to provide prompt access to the container, Company will provide pickup at a later time, but may charge the customer an extra charge for the trip. © Cart Replacement fees- This fee would apply when a customer damages a cart due to abuse or loss of equipment. WM would like to recoup the cost of the cart at a rate of $75.00 per cart. u Delivery fee for bad debt customers. Once a customer is placed on stop service due to bad debt the company removes the container from the resident. Upon the reactivation of the account, the cart or bin needs to be re- delivered to the customer, which is a cost to the company, The company would like to be compensated for this service. The fee will also contribute to reducing the amount of bad debt in the city. Requested fee - $15.00. Li E -Waste collection fee, Waste Management is currently collecting E -waste as a bulky item at the curb. New regulations were based that require that items deemed as e -waste be handled in a specific manner. Although WM. requires a nominal rebate from the state, it does not cover the true cost of collecting and handling the materials. Therefore, WM is requesting a nominal foe for collecting ewaste for both the commercial and residential waste sectors of $15.00 per item.

Report prepared by Rosemary M. Gutierrez, Chief Deputy City Clem low e I BALDWN CITY OF BALDWIN PARK P , A , R - K JUN 2 0 ITEM NQ.t7"" AGENDA STAFF R TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Edwin "William" Galvez, Director of Public Works i DATE: June 20, 2007 SUBJECT: Continuation of the Public Hearing and Balloting Results of a Proposed Assessment Increase of the Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District FY 2007 -08 PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to outline the procedures to follow, including the public hearing, in connection with the ballot proceeding in which property owners in the City are considering an increase in the assessments of the Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District (LLMD). • ** ]F I7 On December 6, 2006, staff presented to City Council the financial status of the Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District (LLMD), including the annual deficit and fiscal imbalance that the District is experiencing. The City Council therefore authorized staff to analyze the District and initiate a balloting measure to increase assessments. On March 21, 2007, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2007 -021 which approved, on a preliminary basis, the Engineer's Report for the FY 2007 -08 LLMD, declared the City Council's intention to undertake a ballot measure for property owner consideration of increased assessments, and set a time and place for a Public Hearing. On June 6, 2007, the City Council held a Public Hearing and continued it until June 20, 2007 City Council meeting, directed the City Clerk to release custody of the ballots to the City's consultant, and authorized the consultant to count and tabulate the ballots. DISCUSSION The purpose of the LLMD is to generate revenues for the financing of maintenance and capital costs associated with traffic signals, street lights, and landscape maintenance and operations. Every year, the City Council has authorized the preparation of an Engineer's Report, held a public hearing, and ordered the assessments. Balloting Results Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District June 20, 2007 Page 2 Since the assessments have been fixed for a decade, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with a ballot initiative to increase the assessments. Engineer's Report & Assessment Rates The Engineer's Report for the Citywide Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2007 -1 for FY 2007 -2008 has been previously submitted for the City Council's approval on a preliminary basis. Since the assessment increase is not supported by a majority of the property owners, assessments will not increase. Balloting Results Summary Attached is the ballot results certified by our consultant, Berryman and Henigar. The ballot results do not support the assessment increase. A summary of the balloting tabulation is as follows: li 1NF in 9n07 Total Valid Ballots Received 4,011 YES Ballots (supporting the increase) 29.2% NO Ballots (against the increase) 70.8% The Engineer's Report will need to be revised since there will be no increase in assessments. The assessment rates paid by properties will not change and will be the same amounts as last year and the same as the previous decade. A revised Engineer's Report will be submitted to the City Council for review and approval on July 18, 2007. FISCAL IMPACT The FY 2007 -2008 Budget was developed under the assumption that assessments would not increase. Although district costs will continue to exceed the revenues, staff included appropriate adjustments in the budget which did not require showing a hard General Fund transfer into the LLMD fund to balance it. Rather, the deficit would be covered by reductions in a number of other programs supported by the General Fund. Staffing levels working on the LLMD maintenance will be reduced as much as possible, but staff performing LLMD maintenance work will naturally reduce some staff availability working on other programs. Staff will report back to the City Council in 60 to 90 days as to what the specific impacts . of the LLMD revenue -cost shortfall are. In the mean time, in the coming fiscal year, staff will consider difficult decisions involving reduction of the power consumption of street lights and traffic signals. The cost reduction could include: O Installing timers on certain street light circuits /corridors so that the lights turn on one hour later and turn off one hour earlier 17 Programming certain traffic signals to go in `flash mode' from 10 pm to 4 am C3 Turning off water used to irrigate the landscape medians Balloting Results Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District June 20, 2007 The following table summarizes the LLMD Revenue and Cost: Revenue Cost Current Assessment Ad- Valorem rations & Maintenance .._._.. ................................ ............................... . ital Upgrades $909,000 $534,000 $1,713,000 $0 Page 3 $1,443,000 $1,713,000 Surplus <Deficiit> <$270,000> Due to the deficit, no funding is allotted for capital upgrades.

BALDW I N CITY OF BALDWIN PARK STAFF REPORT P... A R K TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members FROM: Amy L. Harbin, City Planne` Edward Lopez, Chief of Poli DATE: June 20, 2007 SUBJECT: Consideration of adoption an Urgency Ordinance establishing a moratorium on the establishment of medicinal marijuana dispensaries — (Urgency Ordinance) PURPOSE This report requests City Council adoption of an urgency ordinance establishing a moratorium on the establishment of medicinal marijuana dispensaries within the City of Baldwin Park. BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act (CUA) of 1996, made the possession and cultivation of marijuana legal for "qualified patients" and "primary caregivers." Qualified patients included those with specified serious illnesses that had a recommendation from a physician. Primary caregivers were defined as individuals, designated by a patient, who consistently assumed responsibility for the housing, health, and safety of the patient. The CUA absolves patients and caregivers of certain Health and Safety Codes pertaining to the possession of and cultivation of medical marijuana for personal medical purposes "upon the written or oral recommendation or approval of a physician." It also absolves physicians for recommending marijuana for medical purposes, notwithstanding any other provision of law. At this time, California State law allows the use of marijuana for medical purposes under specified conditions. Federal law still prohibits this use. Consequently, all people engaged in such activities are subject to federal prosecution. State and federal law are in conflict. Despite the conflict between state and federal law, medical marijuana dispensaries have been established throughout the region. The establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries may pose a threat to public health, safety, and welfare, as other cities with dispensaries have reported an increase in Part I and Part 11 crimes, as well as a decrease in the quality of life for surrounding Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Urgency Ordinance June 20, 2007 Paae 2 neighborhoods and businesses. Staff believes that it is necessary to study the local impacts of medical marijuana dispensaries and to review the conflict between state and federal law, to determine if this type of business would be a viable use of property within the City. If adopted by 415"' of a vote of the City Council, this moratorium would prevent the establishment of medicinal marijuana dispensaries on any property located within the City Limits. It would take effect immediately and expire in 45 days unless extended by the City Council. The Council may extend the moratorium for up to an additional 10 months and 15 days following a public hearing. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends City Council waive further reading, read by title only and adopt on Ordinance No. 1305 entitled, "AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK DECLARING A MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MEDICINAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES WITHIN THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF ".

WHEREAS, IN 1996, California voters approved Proposition 215 (codified at California Health and Safety Code 11362.5 et seq. and entitled "The Compassionate Use Act of 1996 "), and WHEREAS, the California Legislature subsequently enacted SB 430 (codified at California Health and Safety Code 11362.7 et. Seq) to clarify the scope of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and to allow cities and other governing bodies to adopt and enforce rules and regulations consistent with S13420, and WHEREAS, on June 5, 2005 the United States Supreme Court issued a decision determining that Congress has the authority and power to prosecute the local cultivation and use of marijuana even if such use is authorized under California Law. NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council hereby adopts each recital set forth above as a finding of the City Council. SECTION 2. The City Council further finds that the establishment of medicinal marijuana dispensaries constitute a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety or welfare in that such uses may impose adverse impacts on surrounding properties, including but not limited to an increase in Part I and Part II crimes. SECTION 3. Pursuant to Government Code § 65858, the City Council hereby declares a moratorium on the establishment of medicinal marijuana dispensaries within the City and on the issuance of any permits, approvals, or entitlements for use for such development, including but not limited to subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, or any other applicable permit or entitlement for use which is required in order to comply with the City's zoning ordinances or with Baldwin Park Municipal Code Chapter 124. The moratorium declared and established by this Section 3 shall remain in effect 45 days after the date of enactment of this ordinance. SECTION 4. This ordinance is an interim ordinance and shall take effect immediately. This is an interim ordinance adopted pursuant to Section 65858, subdivision (a) of the Government Code and shall expire forty -five (45) days after the date hereof unless extended pursuant to the provisions of said section. Urgency Ordinance -1305 Medicinal Marijuana Dispensaries June 20, 2007 Paqe 2 SECTION 5. If any part or provision of this ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of this ordinance, including the application of such part or provision to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected and shall continue in full force and effect. To this end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable. APPROVED, PASSED AND ADOPTED this 201h day of June, 2007.

The proposed "Hometown heroes Military Banner Progra& would allow banners to be hung on light poles located on main thoroughfare medians such as Ramona Boulevard, Baldwin Park. Boulevard, Maine Avenue, Pacific Avenue and the Metrolink Station. Approximately 83 locations have been identified for the placement of approximately 104 banners. Banner Dgsc, bore It is staff's recommendation that the banners be 30" wide 72" high. The banner material is a 16 oz vinyl, which is the thickest, most durable material available for this type of project. The design will be quite simple, yet patriotic in appearance. A facsimile of three proposed designs: will be brought back for formal approval by the Council. Advertisement To announce the implementation of the program and to solicit the names of the individuals to be recognized, initially,. staff will place an announcement in the city's publication of the NOW, and in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. The program will be announced, on a continued basis in the NOW, on the city's marquees, on the city's website, and the Local Cable Channel. Once the program is fully implemented and the banners go up, staff is anticipating that community interest will increase. Agenda Staff Report — Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program June 20, 2007 Page 2 Estimates for the cost of the banner have been obtained through an inquiry from an neighboring city from four Vendors including Signs Unlimited in Covina, R & R Signs in Glendora, Gus Signs in El Monte, and B & 1-1 in Monrovia. Upon selection of a design, staff will select the lowest bidder for the production of the banner. Informally, the banners are averaging a price ranging from $85 - $150. Banner Locations The following locations have been identified as banner placement locations; ® Ramona Blvd front 605 Freeway to Barnes St. center median - 5 two -sided for a total of 10 (brackets needed); s Ramona Blvd between La Rica & Baldwin Park Boulevard — 4 single -sided (brackets needed); • Ramona Blvd between Baldwin Dark. Blvd. & Maine Ave, — 18 single -sided (17 have brackets /1 needs brackets); * Ramona Blvd between Maine & Downing —12 single -sided (brackets needed); a Baldwin Park Blvd between Tracy & Francisquito — 5 two -sided for a total of 10 (brackets needed); Maine Avenue between Ramona: Blvd & Los Angeles St. —.13 single sided (need hardware) ® Pacific Avenue between Ramona & Downing — 5 single -sided (5 have brackets / 1 needs brackets) d Cruz: Baca Metrolink Trans Station — 15 .single -sided (brackets needed) We currently have enough brackets (hardware) for approximately 22 banners and would have to purchase approximately 66 additional brackets (10-two sided and 46 singled - sided) to complete the installation. The cost for a single- bracket is approximately $122 and the cost for a double- bracket is approximately $190. Proaram Commencement Upon preliminary approval by the Council, the announcement of the program will begin immediately for the collection of names of the individuals to be honored. Staff will bring back a facsimile of three proposed designs for Council approval no later than the August 1, 2007 Council meeting. Agenda Staff Report — Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program June 20, 2007 Page 3 Upon selection of the banner design, banners will be ordered and installation will commence by early to maid September. A letter to the family will be sent by the City Clerk's Department informing the family of the placement and location of the banner. Each banner will be flown for either 1) the duration of the conflict or 2) as long as the service man or woman is on active duty_ The banners will be taken down upon either the end of the conflict or upon the soldiers return from duty. Upon removal, the banner will be presented to the service man /woman or family respectively, by the City Council at a Council meeting. Coordination of the presentation will be administered by the City Clerk's Department. Placement and Takedown Public Works staff will be responsible for both banner placement and takedown. Banners that are taken down will be forwarded to the City Clerk's Department for coordinating their return to the family. At the time of this writing, the fiscal impact has not been determined and is dependent on the number of applications received. Staff has however, appropriated $20,000 in the City's Budget for FY 2007 -08 for implementation of this project. Staff recommends City Council approve the Hometown heroes Military Banner Recognition program and authorize staff to 1) bring back a facsimile of the proposed design no later than August 1, 2007; 2) proceed with the implementation of the program and begin announcement of the program and the acceptance of applications for the program.

BACKGROUND Te Commission has entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with Bisno Development Co. LLC (developer) for the potential revitalization of the Downtown as an urban village with pedestrian friendly mixed -uses, including entertainment, restaurant, shopping and residential. Pursuant to the ENA the developer has agreed to pay the Commission and City's costs for hiring a planning consultant to assist with the preparation, review, consideration and implementation of the proposed Downtown Urban Village. DISCUSSION In order to help facilitate the implementation of the Downtown Urban Village Specific Plan, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on February 1, 2007 and received no responses. A second RFQ was issued on March 29, 2007. As a result, the city received a total of two (2) responses. After a review of the submittals, the two firms were invited to participate in an oral interview /presentation, conducted by Chief Executive Officer, Vijay Singhal, Acting Redevelopment Manager, Melecio Picazo, Associate Planner Sal Lopez and Commission General Counsel, Joe Pannone. The two firms interviewed were: Coury Planning & Environmental and Hogle- Ireland. After a thorough discussion of each, staff selected Coury Planning and Environmental as the preferred choice. Based upon the qualifications and presentations by each of the firms and taking into consideration the fee proposals, staff believes that Coury Planning and Environmental will best serve the needs of the City and Commission. Planning Consulting Services Page 2 of 2 June 20, 2007 Staff is confidant that the professionalism, expertise and knowledge of Coury Planning along with Mr. Kirt Coury and Mr. Duane Morita's ability to furnish both time and talent at a very competitive rate for this important project will be great benefit to the community's efforts. FISCAL IMPACT Bisno Development will be responsible to pay for the services provided by the proposed consultant. The developer is required to provide a good faith deposit and increase that deposit, as described in the ENA. That deposit has been made. Those moneys will be used by the Commission to pay for services provided by the consultant, in accordance with their proposal rates. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Community Development Commission approve the selection of Coury Planning and Environmental as planning consultant for the Downtown Urban Village project and direct the Executive Director to execute an Agreement subject to General Counsel review.

In that regard, I believe we can best respond to your City's needs because we work as actual Planning staff for other cities, and we understand the political and fiscal sensitivities necessary in "bridging" good development with CEQA compliance. We .review projects and prepare staff reports that are not only CEQA - compliant, but are also in conformance with City standards and guidelines. I have worked as contract or planning staff for 6 cities, and my business associate, Duane Morita, has worked as contract planning staff for 12 cities. Together, Duane and 1. have reviewed and processed projects ranging from complex Specific Plans and Tentative Tract Maps to Conditional Use Permits, Variances, Design Reviews, etc. Due to our relevant experiences with cities, we can be more responsive to City needs and more cost sensitive than other lamer firms. We can provide the same level of services as larger frrms, but at lower costs. We have organized the appropriate information according to the RFQ and have included our Statement of Qualifications into the following sections: (1) Statement of Qualifications with Billing Rate; and (II) Resume and References. We look forward to working with you and the City in the future. Please contact me at (949) 547 -9570 or email me at kcoury @sbcglobal.net, if you have any questions or require additional information. Sincerely, I<irt A. Planning and Environmental 5711 Calle Polvorosa Sari Clemente, CA R2 -173 MEMORANDUM TO: Salvador Lopez Jr. FROM: Kirt A. Coury DATE: May 2, 2007 SUBJECT: CITY OF BALDWIN PARK RESPONSE TO RFQ 1. Letter of Introduction: See attachment 2. Consultant address, etc.: See attached SOQ's. 3. Understanding of Goals: The City of Baldwin Park is seeking consultants to assist the City in processing the "Downtown Urban Village" project and those discretionary approvals required for project implementation. The proposed project is a mixed use, pedestrian- oriented urban village in the City's downtown area. The project is in the core of the downtown and is expected to serve as a catalyst for future redevelopment in the City. With careful planning, the City's downtown area is anticipated to become a center and attraction for quality development. Our role is to act as project manager and facilitator for the City to process the project. We understand that the project will provide substantial financial and economic benefits to the City and therefore, the developer and City have established a partnership in implementing the proposed project. We have working knowledge and experiences in redevelopment regulations, CEQA, Specific Plans, and City procedures and processing. We have either prepared Specific Plans or CEQA documents (EIRs, MND, ND, etc) for clients, or reviewed and processed these documents as part of City staff. We know what information and details are necessary in these documents to ensure the City's interests are best served. 4. Resumes: see attached 5. Prior consulting work: CITY OF BREA: "Downtown -Mixed Use" Specific Plan: The Specific Plan is located near the center of the City of Brea and is defined by Brea Boulevard between Lambert Road and Imperial Highway. The Specific Plan allows for a pedestrian oriented urban village with a mix of commercial /retail uses, office, and residential dwellings. The Specific Plan was part of a Redevelopment area which considered methods to eliminate and prevent the spread of blight; and to revitalize, redevelop, and upgrade those parcels and properties within the redevelopment area; thereby, strengthening the City's economic base. The project is an award winning project which achieved many of the goals of downtown revitalization and the attraction of other quality developments. As an assistant planner to the City, I reviewed and analyzed development plans, site plans, building plans, for compliance with the Specific Plan project. I also responded to inquiries, at the public counter, and in writing relative to the design guidelines and development standards associated with the project area. In addition, I conducted site inspections (with and sometimes without the Senior Project Planner} for the development of projects for compliance with the approved plans. 1 • Experience and participation: I assisted in the implementation of the Specific Plan with direct supervision of the Senior Project Planner.

The Specific Plan will allow for about 400,€100 sf. of commercial/ retail uses. The Specific Plan area is located within the southwestern portion of the Bellflower Redevelopment Project No. 1 area which was approved by the Bellflower Redevelopment Agency in early 1991. The overall redevelopment area is comprised of 597 acres and consists of 857 individual parcels of primarily commercial and industrial properties along Lakewood Boulevard, Artesia Boulevard, and Bellflower Boulevard. The Specific Plan was specifically being proposed at the site to facilitate implementation of the Bellflower Redevelopment Project No. 1 Plan. The Bellflower Redevelopment Agency in 1991 approved the Bellflower Redevelopment Project No. 1 Plan, which considered methods to eliminate and prevent the spread of blight; and to revitalize, redevelop, and upgrade those parcels and properties within the redevelopment area; thereby, strengthening the City's economic base. To further facilitate implementation of the Redevelopment Plan, the City, in June 2004, then approved the Artesia Boulevard Corridor Land Use Study which provided a comprehensive assessment of existing land use characteristics and development patterns along the Artesia Boulevard commercial corridor. The proposed Specific Plan is located within portions of the Artesia Boulevard commercial corridor. The land use study concluded that the Artesia Boulevard corridor, including the project site, is an important commercial arterial and has significant economic importance to the City of Bellflower. • Experience and participation: I prepared the Specific Plan, prepared Initial Study, coordinated preparation of the EIR, and helped process the project on day -to -day basis. • Dates: Started in mid 2005 and on- going. Planning Commission meeting scheduled for early May 2007. • Staff person: Brian Lee, Community Development Director, City of Bellflower, 16600 Civic Center Drive, Bellflower 90706, (562) 804 -1424 ext. 2224. • Involvement by Redevelopment Agency: Periodic updates to City Manager, who acts as Redevelopment Manager and City Council, who is the Redevelopment Agency.

The Specific Plan facilitates infill development as a planned mixed -use community with residences, recreational and neighborhood commercial uses. The Specific Plan is 37.5 acres with 176 single family detached dwellings and 253 attached dwellings. The neighborhood commercial area will accommodate approximately 45,000 square feet of floor area. • Experience and participation: Implementation of the Specific Plan.

Harbin, City Planne ., DATE: June 20, 2007 SUBJECT: Conceptual review by the Community Development Commission PURPOSE for the proposed floor area expansion and facade remodel of the existing Target building within the Sierra Center located within the Sierra Vista Redevelopment Project Area; (Case Number PR 07 -20; Location: 3100 Baldwin Park Boulevard; Applicant: Talin Aghazarian with Pacific Land Services representing Target Corporation). This item is for conceptual approval only. if the Community Development Commission approves this project in concept, the applicant must still obtain all necessary permits, approvals, and /or entitlements, as they apply in proceeding with the development of the project. This report requests conceptual approval by the Community Development Commission (CDC) for the proposed 11,230 square foot expansion and facade remodel of the existing Target building within the Sierra Center. The property is located within the Sierra Vista Redevelopment Project Area and the Redevelopment Plan for that Area requires that any new construction be reviewed and conceptually approved by the CDC prior to the issuance of any building permits. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT Staff has determined that the proposed expansion and facade remodel requires the preparation of an Initial Study. On May 31, 2007, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration was posted in three different public locations (City Hall, Target, and the Community Center) as well as mailed to property owners and occupants of all properties within 300 feet of the subject property. Comments on the initial study will be accepted through June 19, 2007. Any written or verbal comments received by that date will be contemplated. The Initial Study is attached to this report and should be considered by the Commission for the determination that a Negative Declaration is appropriate for approval. (Unlike other conceptual approvals which the Commission has considered in the past, this project is not Categorically Exempt from CEQA.) The Initial Study and Negative 3100 Baldwin Park Boulevard June 20, 2007 Page 2 Declaration determination will also be considered by the City agencies (Planning Commission and City Council, if appropriate) which will be considering the entitlements should conceptual approval be granted.

DISCUSSION According to the plans submitted for design review, the applicant is proposing to demolish the existing garden area encompassing approximately 10,295 square feet of area and add a new 4,989 square foot garden area and 16,104 square feet of additional merchandise area, stock/storage area and office /conference room area. A fagade remodel is also 0AAmy\AMYlw0RMReports\Agency Reports\RDA Reports13100 Baldwin Park.doc 3100 Baldwin Park Boulevard June 20, 2007 Page 4 proposed which will add an additional 438 square feet of floor area along the main entrance area. (After the demolition, the overall floor area addition is 11,236 square feet.) The proposed improvements exhibit a Spanish Mediterranean design theme which includes a combination stucco and plaster covered elevations. Elevation details include `Target Red' the inserts and belly band. The proposed elevations also include the blue tile that is consistent with the remainder of the center. A cornice line dominates the top of the walls while entry statements include architectural popouts with a concrete roof file feature. The primary color theme for the proposed building is southwestern and includes a light gray and champagne color. The proposed roof file is reddish /orange in color. Several new - framed lattice structures are included along both the front and Francisquito Avenue elevations which will be planted with clinging vines to soften the view of the elevations. Based upon the proposed additional floor area, staff conducted a parking analysis to determine if the existing parking area located on -site would be sufficient to accommodate the increase in floor area proposed. For the specific Target site, It has been determined that 554 spaces are required for the Target, including the proposed expansion, and 555 spaces are shown on the site plan. However, since Target is part of the larger `Sierra Center' parking is shared amongst those retail stores and restaurants throughout the shopping center..Site plans for the entire Sierra Center identify approximately 936 parking spaces throughout the site. Based upon the floor area of the entire site, 936 parking stalls required when calculated at the `Commercial Centers' rate. Hence, the proposed expansion will not require the development of any additional parking stalls. However, staff will require that Target remove the large temporary storage containers that are located within parking areas along the rear of the property. Design Review Committee The project proposal is currently being reviewed by the City's Design Review Committee. Based upon the plans submitted, at a minimum, the project will require modification of the Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit as shown in the Table below.

Pacific Ave. Baldwin Park, CA 91706 General Commercial Freeway Commercial, Sierra Vista Overlay 9. Surrounding Setting: Incorporated in 1956, the City of Baldwin Park is located approximately 17 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. The intersection of the 1 -10 (San Bernardino) and 1 -605 (San Gabriel River) freeways lies near the southwest corner of this 6.8 square mile City. Although Baldwin Park is predominantly a residential bedroom community, recent efforts have placed a greater emphasis on promoting commercial and industrial land uses. However, the City is near "build- out ", currently focusing efforts on the Redevelopment of land, particularly within the City's `Downtown' area. According to the 2000 Census, Baldwin Park has approximately 75,900 persons. This is more than double the population in 1960. Baldwin Park is predominantly a Hispanic working class community, although between the 1990 and 2000 Census has experienced a recent increase in its Asian population. Furthermore, the City has a considerably larger than average household size than the County average, suggesting increased pressure on the City's housing stock and the provision of services.

Geological Map — Liquefaction Zones 13. Environmental Factors Potentially Affected: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. 71 Aesthetics o Biological Resources 71 Hazards & Hazardous M t ; I 71 a eria s o Mineral Resources 71 Public Services Utilities / Service Systems 71 Agriculture Resources 71 Cultural Resources 71 Hydrology / Water Quality Noise Population / Housing 71 Recreation Transportation/Traffic 7j Mandatory Findings of Significance Air Quality Geology /Soils Land Use / Planning Noise Population / Housing 71 Recreation Transportation/Traffic 7j Mandatory Findings of Significance EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers, except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project - specific factor as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project - specific screening analysis.) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including offsite as well as onsite, cumulative as well as project - level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross - referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiring, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following; a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. C) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site - specific conditions for the project. B) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this staff report is to recommend the Community Development Commission ( "Commission ") approve the revised GRC Schedule for redevelopment plan amendment services, in relation to the downtown revitalization project. BACKGROUND: On February 7, 2007, the Commission approved an amendment to the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with Bisno Development Co. L C (developer), which was originally approved December 6, 2006, for the potential revitalization of the Downtown as an urban village with pedestrian friendly mixed -uses, including entertainment, restaurant, shopping and residential. The amended ENA provided an accelerated project timeline, specifically the timeline relating to the public input, and preparation of environmental analysis (CEQA) and all required General Plan, Zoning and the Redevelopment Plan amendments. DISCUSSION: On April 4, 2007, the Commission, GRC and the developer entered into a 3 -party agreement for redevelopment plan amendment services, in relation to the downtown project. As detailed in CRC's Schedule, Exhibit "B" of the agreement, the proposed redevelopment plan amendment process will require the formation of a Project Area Committee (PAC). The developer has requested GRC to provide the following revised timeline with the PAC formation and include the following actions. • City Council calls for election of a PAC —July 18, 2007 • First Community Meeting — August 6, 2007 • PAC Election Meeting -- August 20, 2007 GRC Schedule Revision June 20, 2007 Page 2 of 2 • Council Confirmation of Election — September 19, 2007 • First PAC Meeting — October 1, 2007 Attached to this staff report is the revised schedule prepared by GRC. FISCAL IMPACT: The developer will be responsible to pay for the services provided by the proposed consultant. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Community Development Commission approve the revised GRC schedule for redevelopment plan amendment services, related to the downtown revitalization project. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment "A" — Revised GRC Schedule Staff Report prepared by Melecio Picazo, Acting Redevelopment Manager Attachment # A Revised GRC Schedule Exhibit & REVISED 7112107 SCHEDULE Based on the steps required by the CRh and recent state legislation, we recommend that the redevelopment plan amendment be adopted in the Spring of 2008. The table below shows the major steps in the plan adoption process, and the approximate dates for each. This schedule assumes that no unwarranted delays will be experienced due to project notification and taxing agency consultations. Upon project commencement, GRC Redevelopment Consultants' first step will be to prepare a detailed schedule of all. items necessary for the adoption of the project. We will work with staff to see which actions can be accelerated and develop a timeline that meets the needs of the Agency and the community. Ctivn Original mate Revised date It Affected.
