INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
2.1 SEPTEMBER 2018 RECREATION PROGRAM UPDATE — RS/Murphey
C/Hsieh asked if there was a way to promote the activity rooms at
Heritage and Pantera room rentals. RS/Murphey responded that staff
recently developed a new promotional card for Heritage and Pantera to
attract more rentals and looking into renting to more churches to increase
revenue for those sites.
2.2 VOLUNTEENS PROGRAM UPDATE: RS/Ubaldi
Packet Pg. 6
1.1
SEPTEMBER 27, 2018 PAGE 2 P&R COMMISSION
C/Hsieh said the video was awesome and wanted to know if the YouTube
video was uploaded for the volunteens and RS/Ubaldi said that it is not
currently done but he will check with the Public Information Department
about doing so.
C/Hsieh said she spoke with Volunteens during Concerts in the Park
where it was hot and she wondered why the Volunteens were not drinking
water. PRD/Wright explained that there is plenty of bottled water available
for staff and the Volunteens.
C/Hsieh noticed that the Diamond Bar Foundation donated $2,000 to the
Concerts in the Park and wondered if staff would send a Thank -you.
C/Hsieh asked if first responder coverage was available during events at
the park. PRD/Wright explained that Care Ambulance Service contracts
with the City of Diamond Bar to provide ambulance services including
Concerts in the Park series.
C/Hsieh asked if special order items were reusable or one-time use only
and PRD/Wright responded that the only item he believes is reusable are
the vertical street banners.
C/Hsieh asked what the movie rental fee of $4,000 per month includes
and PRD/Wright explained that the $4,000 is a one-time license fee that
allows the movie to be shown to the public. Public entities cannot rent
movies from a Red Box or their own personal collection because of the
copyright.
2.3 SEPTEMBER 2018 MAINTENANCE REPORT — PMS/Jordan
C/Hsieh asked if there was another type of mirror that could be used
instead of the metal mirror and PMS/Jordan said there are two options for
mirrors, stainless steel which is being used because it cannot be broken
but can be etched upon which over time, diminishes the visibility. The
other option is glass which can be carved on and broken. If there is a
problem with visibility on the stainless steel, the best option would be to
replace it with stainless steel which will serve useful for several years
before the appearance starts to degrade. C/Hsieh asked if there had
been vandalism of glass mirrors in public restrooms in the past and
PMS/Jordan responded "yes."
C/Hsieh asked how an individual could donate a (park) bench.
PMS/Jordan said that staff would have to locate a place for the bench to
go in and will do the utmost to accommodate specific location requests.
With respect to plaques, the City is no longer doing plaques because
when scrap value goes up for bronze and other metals, plaques and
similar items tend to get stolen and instead, the inscription is printed into
the bench.

5. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Chou asked for an update on Sycamore Canyon Park. A resident told him that
the park that is off of Longview and Grand (Longview South) that visitors come to
the park and hop over his fence into his pool.
PRD/Wright said that City Manager's staff and Sheriff's Department staff met
with the resident last week and spoke with him about his concerns regarding
folks being in the park after it is closed (30 minutes after sunset). Staff offered to
place signage and step up enforcement with the Sheriff's Department after the
park is closed. In addition, there are field attendants that routinely check on
facilities, ball fields, etc.
PRD/Wright said that with respect to Sycamore Canyon Park, there is no
thorough update but once there is he will bring it to the Commission. Early this
week FEMA was in contact with the City Manager's Office and he is not privy to
the details. There continues to be back and forth negotiations and while there
has not been positive news to take to the City Council, staff continues to push
forward for the full reimbursement for that project to provide a safe and
sustainable environment. The intent is to go to Council as soon as staff is able to
negotiate a satisfactory outcome.
C/Orona hoped that PRD/Wright was settling into his new position. He thanked
RS/Murphey for the very thorough tour of the Diamond Bar Center. He liked the
video for the Volunteens. It is great to have the kids thanked and appreciated in
that way.
VC/Sulakhe asked if any fixtures had been placed outside of the kitchen at the
Diamond Bar Center and PMS/Jordan responded that the retrofit was on the
interior only on the existing light fixtures. VC/Sulakhe asked that it be added to a
work list to see if lights can be placed outside of the kitchen area/outdoor area.
PMS/Jordan reminded VC/Sulakhe that in the past that issue was visited and
staff was hoping to include it in a previous project but there were no circuits
available. As it happens, due to the capacity of the existing circuits and the lack
of having a circuit in that area, it would have been a monumental and expensive
task to add lights to the back area. VC/Sulakhe said tonight was a good meeting
and she was pleased to see the Volunteens appreciated for their work.
C/Hsieh thanked audience in attendance.
Chair/Liang requested an October agenda item regarding consideration of the
November and December meetings because the November meeting date falls on
Thanksgiving. Chair/Liang said the Volunteen video brought back a lot of good
memories for him because his son was a Volunteen many, many years ago and
because there was no appreciation night for Volunteens at that time, this
recognition is progress and he really appreciates the video which is really a good
Packet Pg. 8
SEPTEMBER 27, 2018 PAGE 4 P&R COMMISSION
thing for the teens. His son benefited a lot from the community service. Kudos
to all of the staff and thanks for all of the support. Chair/Liang said that if the
community wants to donate, instead of a bench, is there a space available on the
flag area for them to purchase commemorative tiles/bricks. PRD/Wright
suggested that residents who wish to donate should contact the Diamond Bar
Community Foundation, The Foundation does a lot for the City including
providing scholarships and opportunities for residents to take advantage of
programs and classes offered by the City. o

year, Council Member Nancy Lyons, on behalf of the City of Diamond Bar, honored
Steve Acciani (adult), Pamela Robinson (adult), Natalie Chung (youth), and Rachel
Wang (youth) as Diamond Bar's Community Heroes. The City was represented in the
parade with four floats and a City vehicle!
Several noticeable changes were made by the LA County Fair this year. The Fair
elected to discontinue the Fair Kids Expo and decided to change the Community
Reception to an Ice Cream Social. The Fair's emphasis was placed on the educational
programs ,offered to local schools, rather than the Community Heroes. The Fair
representatives were unclear as to whether these components would return for future

the coming months for ideas on how to improve the event in the future.
