Chair/Sulakhe

2.1 RECREATION PROGRAM UPDATE — RS/Tarazon
C/Herndon asked why was staff requiring that the 3 on 3 participants
attend school in Diamond Bar and not be residents only. RS/Tarazon said
the program includes ages up to 18 and the City would not want
participants that are 18 and have graduated high school.
2.1.1 4th of July Evaluation and Financial Summary — RC/Nino
AUGUST 24, 2017 PAGE 2 P&R
Chair/Sulakhe said she attended the July 4th event. She was
accompanied by a handicapped guest and they had to use an elevator to
get to the event. Going down was fine but coming up was not fine. No
one mentioned the 3-D glasses and associated costs. RS/Tarazon
explained there was no cost because the 3-D glasses that were handed
out this year were left over from last year.
Chair/Sulakhe said she heard from other people that the event was a little
too long -and monotonous. ACM/McLean said staff would take that
comment under advisement. Chair/Sulakhe said she saw a lot of people
enjoying the event. She felt the shuttle cost was a little high. RS/Tarazon
said the high cost is due to the fact that is run on the 4th of July Holiday
which means the City is paying a higher price than it would for the same
shuttle service on a regular non -holiday. In addition, their drivers are paid
overtime for working on a holiday. This is part of running this type of
operation on the actual day of the event which is a holiday. There were
slightly more than 100 cars parked at South Pointe Middle School and
estimating 3-4 passengers per car that would mean that 300 to 400
people use the shuttles. In addition, all of the shuttles are handicap
accessible for which the City paid an extra fee. Chair/Sulakhe said her
concern was that when handicapped individuals are dropped off at the
high school they have to walk down to the elevator. RS/Tarazon said
there are two different access points that have access with ramps from the
elevator excluding the one Chair/Sulakhe used going from the elevator.
Entering off of Brea Canyon Road there is a ramp from the football field.
Also, anyone dropped off in front of the high school can walk toward the
tennis court onto the field via a flat surface. Shuttles are stationed on
Diamond Bar Boulevard which allows for access via a flat surface through
to the field.
2.2 MAINTENANCE REPORT — FAMT/Williams
C/Hsieh asked if the City paid for repair of the guard rail and ACM/McLean
explained that the City's Risk Manager negotiates with the at -fault driver's
insurance companies to recover funds after staff completes the repairs.
C/Hsieh said that it appeared to her that the light fixtures on the bottom
where the concrete is were taken out and she wondered if the concrete
would be filled in because water is pooling in a couple of the fixtures.
FAMT/Williams responded that the light poles are part of a future CIP for
which staff is preparing the design phase to correct that problem which is
an issue that has been ongoing for a number of years which is a result of
the way the poles were installed. The footings were installed below -grade
which creates a ponding effect at all times. The problem can be mitigated
by redoing the footings to bring them above -grade to create a watershed
which is a project that is currently being worked on by the Public Works
Department.
AUGUST 24, 2017 PAGE 3 P&R COMMISSION
2.2.1 Power Point Presentation — Summitridge Trail — FAMT/Williams
2.3 LIST OF PENDING COMMISSION REQUESTS —ACM/McLean
In response to C/Herndon regarding issues on Diamond Bar Boulevard
near the Albertson's Shopping Center which included some sidewalk
displacement as well as, graffiti, the Public Works staff checked the site
and noted the issues and repaired them.
Last week the City closed escrow on two parcels adjacent to the Pony
League property and directly across the street from the YMCA facility, the
location that has been designated for a Neighborhood Park by the City
Council. With the close of escrow staff can now begin the process of
design that will likely include some neighborhood meetings, presentations
to the Commission and so forth which will be forthcoming in the next year
or so.
C/Hsieh requested that the V -Ditch is very inconvenient to walk down the
shorter stairs at Pantera Park and wondered if it was possible to have a
bridge across the V -Ditch. ACM/McLean said that staff would look into the
matter and report back to the Commission.
Chair/Sulakhe said she requested an item on April 28th and there has
been no action. ACM/McLean said that Chair/Sulakhe was correct. There
is not currently money budgeted for that item and it is not currently on the
CIP list. Staff looked at that item last year as part of a lighting project, but
it exceeded the cost of that lighting project which means that funds would
have to be available which are not available in the current budget. It
would require action to get the funding and staff can look at reviewing this
matter again to determine whether it could become part of a standalone
project. Chair/Sulakhe asked if ACM/McLean had an estimate for the cost
and ACM/McLean said he did not. When the City does public works
projects this type of item is a new project that requires bids and staff must
go through the process to acquire those bids. It is not a maintenance
option where it can be installed by staff. Chair/Sulakhe felt it would
enhance events at the Diamond Bar Center if it were lighted up in the area
and that it would also help with safety issues. Chair/Sulakhe again voiced
her desire to have lighting in that area for safety reasons.
3. OLD BUSINESS: None
4. NEW BUSINESS: None
5. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Hsieh thanked staff for their presentations and for the outstanding work with
the Volunteens and support to the Commission.
VC/Liang said he was unable to attend the July 4th Blast. Based on comments
AUGUST 24, 2017 PAGE 4 P&R COMMISSION
made this evening he commented that to set up such a large event that hosts
about 7,000 viewers is a huge event that requires a lot of coordination, especially
with public safety agencies including the Sheriff's and Fire Departments. His hat
is off to all who participated and did such a great job in putting the event
together. Of course, it is impossible to please everybody. He too, is a public
servant. For his smaller events he has a much larger staff he can utilize and he
believes City staff is very, very efficient. He was at Diamond Bar Center last
week and it continues to be a very good facility. His colleagues tell him it is the
best place to have a meeting and the customer service is excellent and the
facility is always well maintained. Thank -you to staff for all of their hard work.
C/Herndon complimented staff. He feels that the 4th of July is a great event and
he is disappointed that the costs keep going up which seems to be an ongoing
problem with most efforts these days. Let's try to keep the costs under control as
much as possible — great job on everyone's part.
VC/Liang said that costs go up due to inflation.
Chair/Sulakhe thanked staff for the great meeting tonight. She missed the last
meeting which was Concerts in the Park which was excellent. A lot of families
participated. The Steep Canyon Trail is awesome. She has not tried all of the
trails but intends to do so. She would like to see a small disposal area for
cigarette butts which can be a fire hazard. The rattlesnake advisory is on the
website which is great. She thanked backup staff members RS/Tarazon and
FAMTMilliams for their participation and presentations. She looks forward to the
basketball season.
ADJOURNMENT: Upon motion by C/Herndon, seconded by C/Hsieh and with no one
objecting and no further business before the Parks and Recreation Commission,
Chair/Sulakhe adjourned the meeting at 7:58 p.m.
The foregoing minutes are hereby approved this day of 12017.
Respectfully Submitted,

Table Tennis — The Table Tennis program continues play at Heritage Park on Tuesday

takes place from 6-10pm. We provide three table tennis tables for drop-in users.
Recreation staff is continually monitoring this program with recommendations and
changes looking to take effect in 2018.
Field Allocation — All our user groups' seasons have begun and are in full swing. All of
our parks are looking busier with games happening every weekend. A few of the major
user groups are AYSO soccer, Diamond Bar Soccer League and Diamond Bar Girls
Softball. All eleven groups who turned in paperwork and were granted field space this
allocation period are all now out at the parks. Recreation staff is monitoring the fields
closely to ensure that each group is using its appropriate field space.
There are now three dedicated Recreation Leader W's assigned to fields. Since early
2017 we have had two vacancies. However, we are fully staffed now and are excited to
have new staff out at the parks. The new staff have received two in-depth trainings over
the last month that included a review of current job duties and new procedures for
checking on user groups. Like all positions, the Recreation Leader III's assigned to fields
are an essential part of our field operations. They are in charge of doing daily checks
out at the parks to make sure all the user groups are using the space their allocated
space. They are also doing weekly park inspections on all of our parks in the city, acting
as a second pair of eyes to the public works staff. The majority of issues the field
attendants report are lights that are out, restrooms and drinking fountain problems, and
irrigation/field matters. Most issues are reported to staff by user groups or people
frequenting the park.
Youth Basketball Program — Planning for the program continues with recreation staff
securing bids for officials and jerseys. Additionally, staff is currently working with both
WVUD, PUSD, and Mt. Calvary Lutheran School for gymnasiums to conduct the
program. Staff is also busy working on ideas to enlist more volunteer coaches, a piece
of the program that has been struggling over the past several years. This 8 -week
program is designed to teach the skills and fundamentals of basketball to children ages
4-14 in a fun, safe, and recreational environment. The registration fee is $89.00 per
child and $84.00 for additional children in the same family, and includes a team shirt
and participation medal.
Save the Date! — "Rock the Court" 3 on 3 Teen Basketball Tournament

tournament. The tournament will host two different age divisions: 14-16 and 16-18, each

Weekly major excursion are a huge draw for our program since we visit some of SoCal's best summer
attractions Disneyland's California Adventure & Disneyland Park, Knott's Berry Farm, Queen Mary,
Discovery Cube OC, Raging Waters, La Mirada Splash, Outdoor Education Center. Some of the minor
excursions are Brea Plunge, Chino Hills Harkin's Movie Theater, Jumping Jacks, Corona Del Mar, Skate
Express, Oak Tree Lanes, and Laser Quest.
The planning process started in January among part time and full time Recreation staff to discuss
summer camp themes, staff scheduling, weekly excursion visits, buses, craft projects, activities list, and
inventory of all summer camp equipment. Recreation staff also underwent training through Playworks, a
non-profit organization who uses the power of play to create a safe, fun, and healthy play environment.
Staff was taught the importance of every kid being included, be active, and how to build valuable social
& emotional skills. Other trainings also took place on site that included camp logistics from opening &
closing camp, excursions procedures, bus loading, on site activities, and safety procedures.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Summer Day Camp program generated a total of $167,065. As outlined in the attached financial
summary, program costs of $157,335.03 were incurred, with the largest cost centers being City staff,
excursions, and buses. The chart below showcasing the program cost since the start of January until

Andrea Nino, Recreation Coordinator
EVENT OVERVIEW — CONCERTS IN THE PARK
The 2711 Annual Summer Concert in the Park Series was held at Sycamore Canyon Park from
6:30pm-8:OOpm every Wednesday night starting June 14 and continuing through August 2 (no
concert July 5). Each week the event featured a live band, food concessions provided by local
non-profit organizations or food trucks, City sponsored information booths, and children's
activity area. The July 26th concert "Cold Duck"- a 70s top 40 band, was sponsored by the
Diamond Bar Community Foundation who donated $2,000 towards this event. On August 2nd
concert goers participated in Diamond Bar Night Out where they received an opportunity to
meet the men and women that keep Diamond Bar safe. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs and
Fire Departments were on site to promote programs and educate the community on how they
could help keep Diamond Bar a great place to live, work and play. Concerts provides a fun and
entertaining environment where adults and children of all ages can dance and sing along to
their favorite songs. There is no admission to attend and free shuttle service is provided from
the Diamond Bar Golf Course to Sycamore Canyon Park.
EVENT OVERVIEW.— MOVIE UNDER THE STARS
Movies under the Stars operated at dusk following each concert. For the past ten years
attendees have been asked to simply turn their chairs around and enjoy the Diamond Bar
inflatable big screen. The crowd was kept entertained during the transition from concerts to
movies by commercials prepared by the City's Public Information Department. The commercials
featured up -coming special events, emergency preparedness information, and snapshots in the
community. All movies were rated PG with a running time between 80 to 110 minutes. Swank
Motion Pictures, which has the largest non -theatrical movie selection in the United States,
provided the movie licensing. The inflatable screen which was purchased in 2006 has a
projection surface of 20ft x 11ft with of frame size of 26ft x 20ft.
STAFFING AND PREPARATION
Staffing was provided by full and part-time employees from the Parks and Recreation and
Public Works Departments. Traffic and crowd control support was provided by the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department. AMR and CARE ambulance transportations were also on site to
provide first responder coverage. There were no participant injuries reported throughout the
series. The City's Volunteen program assisted with the operation of each concert and the
transition between concerts and the movies. Approximately ten volunteens attended each
concert to help assist staff with set-up and tear down, operate the children craft area, monitor
playgrounds, assist patrons on and off the shuttles and pass out promotional materials. The
volunteens were a vital part of the operational success at each concert.
In order to prepare for this series of events multiple City departments had to coordinate
months in advance for vital equipment evaluation, logistical layout and event implementation.
It is crucial to ensure that all the equipment necessary to facilitate the events are in well
working order, such as the movie screen and projector, speakers and power cords. The
evaluation of the equipment must take place in advanced with enough time to order
replacements if necessary. Band selection and contract agreements are also completed by
February. The selection of bands and movies are a time consuming project. Recreation
Supervisor, Andee Tarazon, spent hours listening to band demos and reading movie reviews to
select the perfect parings for Diamond Bar. The success of the concert and movie series is
attributed to the preparedness of staff, attention to details, and the communication between
City Departments and outside agencies.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Concerts in the Park and Movies under the Stars series is a free public event that generate
no revenue besides the $2,000 donation provided by the Diamond Bar Community Foundation.
As outlined in the attached financial summary, the total direct cost of the entire series is
$53,691.69 with a breakdown of $7,670.24 cost for each concert/movie event. The largest
financial impact came from the Concerts in the Park account that incurred the cost of the
bands, sound services, shuttle services, and movie rentals. In addition, personnel services do
not fully account for all the related cost, due to planning taking place months in advance.
The following is an annual expenditure comparison.

further improved. This year's recommendations included:
1. Advertise the food trucks on the website, printed promotional materials, and the City's
Social Media accounts.
2. Retain adequate staff from contractors for custodial services to monitor restrooms and
park during event. Budget additional $1,000 in contract services to cover the cost.
3. Budget additional $6,000 in Prop A funds to cover shuttle cost.
4. Work with DB 4Youth to offer teen activities during the concert.
5. Work with Public Works and Sheriffs Department to develop a new traffic plan.
