Staff Present: Ryan Wright, Parks & Recreation Director; Anthony Jordan, Parks and
Maintenance Superintendent; Christy Murphey, Recreation Supervisor; Monique
Weeks, Recreation Coordinator; and, Robin Crawford, Administrative Assistant.
MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE:
Dave Reynolds said he loved the architecture, footprint and design of the Diamond Bar
Canyon Park and he understood that the developer of Willow Heights funded the
project. At the bottom of the park near the demonstration gardens he noticed much o f
the vegetation is floating away and hoped the City could revisit those areas to see what
might be done to restore the area.
PMS/Jordan stated that Mr. Reynolds is correct. Those demonstration gardens have
proven to be a very difficult environment for the plants to thrive, especially with the cold
freezing weather Diamond Bar has had. Plants have been lost for the past couple of
seasons and there is funding in the current fiscal year budget to replace several of the
plantings. However, it remains a challenging environment. Cold air and freezing water
drains down to the demonstration gardens at the lowest elevation of the park. While it
is difficult for some of the species to survive and thrive in that area, staff will continue to
keep the areas appropriately planted.
VC/Sulakhe introduced incoming Commissioner Salo who spoke about his residency
and business background.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS: As presented by PRD/Wright. In April the Commission is
invited to join with the community at the City’s 30th Birthday Anniversary celebration. It
will take place on April 13th at Pantera Park from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. On Saturday
April 20th Breakfast with the Bunny will take place at the Diamond Bar Center, with
seating sessions at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Tickets for this event are $10 per person
which includes breakfast, games, crafts and photos with the bunny. This new event
replaces the Easter Egg Hunt. On behalf of City staff, PRD/Wright welcomed new

2. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
2.1 FEBRUARY RECREATION PROGRAM UPDATE – RS/Murphey
2.1.1 DIAMOND BAR CENTER EVENTS AND HEALTHY DIAMOND
BAR PROGRAM - RC/Weeks
C/Orona questioned the drop in the Bridal Show attendance and
RC/Weeks responded that the advertisement started later than
usual this year due to adding new events and staff is working to
schedule in new events.
RS/Murphey further explained that staff is discussing the
possibility of holding the Bridal Show every other year.
Sometimes attendance varies and there is no apparent
reason attendance was lower this year. In spite of the lower
attendance, staff has received very positive feedback from the
vendors.
VC/Sulakhe said she felt one major difference was that last year
there were more vendors than this year. Every other year is a
good plan which gives the City the opportunity to book ahead.
VC/Sulakhe asked if anything different was planned for the spring
Corporate Showcase such as more outdoor activities.
RC/Weeks said that staff is working with the Regional Chamber of
Commerce to design the plan and because it will be held during
daytime hours, there is an opportunity to show off the outside. The
event will be held in the Grand Ballroom and utilizing the patio area
will be an option this year which will provide an opportunity to
showcase the view from the back patio. In addition, the event will
offer a more intimate seating arrangement where lunch will be
served with tray-passed appetizers by partnering with local
restaurants.

VC/Sulakhe asked how many Youth Basketball participants would
be present for the March Commission meeting and RS/Murphey
said there are five teams each having about 10 players plus their

2.2 FEBRUARY 2019 MAINTENANCE REPORT – PMS/Jordan
3. OLD BUSINESS: None
4. NEW BUSINESS:
4.1 HERITAGE PARK AND SUNSET CROSSING CONCEPTUAL PLAN
UPDATE:
PRD/Wright stated that the landscape architect was secured and
approved by the City Council in January and staff is working with the
landscape architect to create the conceptual plan for Sunset Crossing as
well as, the Heritage Park improvements which will focus on the
community center and adjacent park and picnic area behind the facility.
The first step in this six to eight month process is a public survey for the
community to provide their input on what they see as their vision for these
two facilities and the amenities that make these facilities special and a part
of the Diamond Bar inventory. The surveys will be available on Monday,
March 4th through April 22nd and will be online at the City’s website and
hard copies will be available at the Diamond Bar Center, City Hall , and
Heritage Park. Staff would prefer that these surveys be completed online
which will assist staff in tabulating the results electronically. Surveys can
be completed for one or both parks and are short and easy to complete.
Staff will continue to update the online page dedicated to these projects
throughout the process so residents can remain in touch with what is
taking place. In addition, individuals can submit their email address to
receive information and notifications of upcoming community meetings.
The plan is to proceed through this process through public input, working
with staff, working with the Commission at a future date as well as
community meetings to create designs for both facilities with options that
staff will take back to the City Council for consideration late summer of
2019. Once approved, the funding process will begin and if successful will
commence construction.
C/Orona asked if the Commissioners would automatically receive
notification emails or if they should place their emails on the City’s
website. PRD/Wright said that early next week staff would send
information to the Commissioners with the link which will allow
Commissioners to submit their thoughts as well.
VC/Sulakhe asked if staff would be sending out surveys and PRD/Wright
explained that the City makes the surveys available to the entire public
because this is a public input process and do select recipients. People
who offer their emails will be sent notification of upcoming meetings,

C/Salo asked if the surveys would be directed to only Diamond Bar
residents or if the survey would be open to those living outside of the City
and PRD/Wright said the survey was open to the community and anyone
who is able and wishes to log onto the website or pick up a hard copy of
the survey may do so.
5. ANNOUNCEMENTS:

update on the different programs and felt it was positive that staff was seeking
expansion of the corporate showcase, a definite insight int o gaining more
revenue. She looks forward to learning more about the surveys.
