MAY 26, 2016
PAGE 2 P&R COMMISSION
C/Herndon asked if the City broadcasts were available on dish and
CSC/Tarazon said she did not know but they are available on the
City's You Tube channel.
VC/Sulakhe asked if attendees were mostly Diamond Bar residents
and CSC/Tarazon responded that she believed a majority of the
attendees were.
Chair/Grundy asked if there was a record of attendees or if the City
was guessing about the attendees and CSC/Tarazon responded
that there is no way to know who is and who is not a resident
although staff looks at the public information booth to see how
much interest there is because unless a person is a Diamond Bar
resident they would not have much use for the information provided
at the booth.
2.2 Parks Report — PMS/Jordan
C/Herndon asked about the water problem at Sycamore Canyon Park and
wanted to know if there was any way to capture water from the creek to
irrigate the park. PMS/Jordan said that with respect to the water leak,
there was a drinking fountain by the third base side of the softball field that
had a sticky valve and would intermittently remain on. Apparently, on one
such occasion it had run for a considerable amount of time and created a
puddle behind the fence and some of the water flowed out onto the field.
PMS/Jordan said he did not believe it would be feasible to use creek
water to irrigate the park. CSD/Rose said that at one point the City
contacted Walnut Valley Water District about the steady source of water at
the park and asked if there was some way to put it into a container and
pump it into the irrigation system and they were not interested. He
believes that PMS/Jordan is correct that to do anything would require a
permit from Fish & Game which could be looked into.
Chair/Grundy asked that thank -you notes be sent to the Church group and
the Boy Scouts for their help.
C/Sulakhe asked why the tree was were being cut down at the Kmart
Center and PMS/Jordan said staff received calls on Monday about the
large Ficus tree being taken down. The tree is on private property and is
privately owned and Ficus is not considered a "protected" species.
Chair/Grundy asked if there was a proposed use of the Kmart property
and CSD/Rose responded that there is a new development going in that is
unknown by staff at this time. C/Sulakhe said she heard it was going to
be movie theaters.
2.2.1 Power Point Presentation on Heritage Park walkthrough —
PMS/Jordan.
MAY 26, 2016 PAGE 3 P&R COMMISSION
2.3
C/Herndon asked if there had been many sightings of Coyotes in
the City and PMS/Jordan said he had not heard of any increased
Coyote activity. CSD/Rose said it is typical in this type of natural
area to see Coyotes from time to time. In fact, staff saw one from
the window of City Hall recently which was scampering around the
parking lot and then ran up the hill behind the building.
C/Sulakhe said it did not look very clean around the drinking
fountain area. PMS/Jordan said the debris was sand that had been
spilled. On the day staff did the walkthrough the cleaning crew was
onsite and took care of it that day.
CIP Projects — CSD/Rose
A. Steep Canyon Trail Connector & Pantera Park Trail — Staff
found a couple of minor issues with the plans. Going forward, each
trail that the City constructs has to meet a certain level of
Americans with Disabilities Act access and what was used at
Grandview Trail was a rope that people could hold onto to guide
themselves down the trail. Staff found that the rope was being
vandalized beyond repair and after consulting with Building and
Safety it was recommended that a chain be installed in place of the
rope and as a result, the design team was asked to revise the plans
for the Pantera Trail to include a chain in place of the rope. The
revised plans have come back and this project will go out to bid in
the next week or so.
B. Diamond Canyon Park — Construction continues. Staff anticipates
the park will be open by the end of this summer. In the meantime,
individuals have been using the park and kids have been using the
play equipment. This is in the hands of the developer who
understands people must be ,kept out of the park until it is
completed. The next portion is installation of the pedestrian bridge
and as of yesterday, the developer did not have a scheduled time.
Staff expects it will be July.
C/Herndon reiterated his concern about the lack of fencing between
the play equipment and the roadway and asked if that had been
investigated. CSD/Rose said this was discussed with Lennar folks
and staff is looking to see what potential solutions are available.
C/Herndon asked if CSD/Rose agreed there needed to be more
protection for the kids and CSD/Rose said that the children using
the tot lot need to be protected but exactly what that entails has not
been determined.
C. Design of Heritage Park Improvements — On hold
MAY 26, 2016
PAGE 4 P&R COMMISSION
D. Design of Longview South & Stardust Park Improvements — As
previously mentioned, the City received a $300,000 grant from
State Parks Act (LA County) for Stardust Park which means this
project can now move forward with sufficient funding. Staff met
with Architerra Design Group and incorporated the value
engineering and has verified that the specified improvements for
Stardust Park meet all of the Grant requirements. Architerra gave
staff a revised concept plan and cost estimates. Staff is awaiting
approval to move forward with the construction documents. Staff
plans to combine Peterson, Longview South and Stardust parks
into one single project to provide economy of scale. Architerra has
completed the survey work for Peterson Park and should have a
concept plan to staff by next week. As soon as the concept plan is
approved construction documents will commence and the three
projects will be packaged to go out to bid.
E. Installation of Swings at Longview Park North — On hold until
the new fiscal year at which time Public Works will assume the lead
on this project.
F. Larkstone Park Design — Nothing has happened since the first
plan check except that grading is being done on the site. Staff is
told Lennar wants to have the park done as soon as possible and
this project will also be taken over by the Public Works Department.
G. Trail Information Panels at each Trail Head — Working with
Architerra the panels are designed and Architerra will put them in
their final format to get the panels made. Staff expects the panels
to be in production by the end of this fiscal year and installed next
fiscal year (July/August). There are nine panels each of which will
be placed at the nine trailheads in Diamond Bar.
Chair/Grundy asked if the City has liability while the Diamond
Canyon Park is under construction and CSD/Rose said no, the
liability falls to Lennar.
Chair/Grundy asked if CSD/Rose knows why the Heritage project
had stalled and when it might become active again and CSD/Rose
said he was told by the City Manager that at this time the project is
on hold.
2.4 List of pending Commission requests — CSD/Rose
RS/Murphy will provide information regarding the number of annual events
(weddings, etc.) at the Diamond Bar Center at the Commission's June 23rd
meeting.
PMS/Jordan said he would have an update regarding additional lighting
outside the kitchen area at the Diamond Bar Center at the next meeting as
MAY 26, 2016
PAGE 5 P&R COMMISSION
well.
C/Herndon asked CSD/Rose to elaborate on Sycamore Canyon Park
"lighting solutions at other locations are being considered. CSD/Rose
explained that the first consideration is the Pony Baseball Field and
adjoining YMCA property and next, the middle field at Lorbeer. The five
year CIP program lists the South Point Middle School project but if the
Pony and Lorbeer projects happen he is not sure that the South Point
project will remain on the five-year CIP list.
3. OLD BUSINESS: None
4. NEW BUSINESS: None
5. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Liang congratulated and praised CSD/Rose for over 40 years of service to the
community. Since joining the Commission 10 years ago he has appreciated the
work CSD/Rose does and has learned a lot from him. He also appreciates
CSD/Roses demeanor — he is a gentleman and a scholar and C/Liang hoped for
a great retirement for CSD/Rose. He thanked CSD/Rose for all that he has done
for the City of Diamond Bar.
C/Herndon echoed C/Liang's sentiments and said it has been a great pleasure
working with CSD/Rose and he will be missed. He offered CSD/Rose to come
back and visit but did not expect that he would. He asked if CSD/Rose could
elaborate on the structure post CSD/Rose's tenure.
CSD/Rose explained that the Community Services Department will cease to exist
as a department as of June 30. The recreation portion of the department will be
called the Parks and Recreation Department and RS/Murphey will continue in
her position. There are discussions about recruiting a Parks and Recreation
Director and the difference with that position is that the Director would be in
charge of the recreation, the Diamond Bar Center activities and scheduling of
facilities for Heritage, Pantera and other park sites used by User Groups and
residents for picnics and private events. The parks maintenance and other
maintenance activities will continue under PMS/Jordan and he will be transferred
to the Public Works 'Department and report directly to PWD/Liu. PWD/Liu as
Public Works Director will ultimately be responsible for the parks portion. As far
as Commission meetings, Commissioners will continue to see PMS/Jordan and
RS/Murphey and at some point there will be a Parks and Recreation Director.
For the immediate future ACM/McLean will be RS/Murphey's immediate
supervisor and it is possible that during that time he may attend the Commission
meetings. AC/Gonzales will continue putting the agenda together and
Commissioners should pass along their information and requests to her.
Recreation individuals will continue providing reports as they have in the past
unless and until there is a change in the format requested by the new Parks and
Recreation Director. It is likely that there will be no recruitment and hiring for a
MAY 26, 2016
Director for about six months.
PAGE 6 P&R COMMISSION
C/Herndon thanked CSD/Rose for the update and again wished him the best.
VC/Sulakhe wished CSD/Rose well. While she has known CSD/Rose for a short
time she has been a long time resident of Diamond Bar and has enjoyed all of
the parks and appreciates all of the work that has gone into making the parks
enviable. She wished CSD/Rose a lot of golf time.
Chair/Grundy said he joined the Commission 15 years ago and CSD/Rose
helped him to understand what it meant to be a Commissioner, toured him
around the City and helped him gain a lot of insight. There were a few different
faces then but CSD/Rose has been here the entire time. Chair/Grundy said
"Thank -you, Bob for all of the support and effort he puts into the Parks and
Recreation programs." It shows that CSD/Rose cared about this City and he will
be missed. He thanked CSD/Rose for all he has done for the City.
ADJOURNMENT: With no one objecting and no further business before the Parks and
Recreation Commission, Chair/Grundy adjourned the meeting at 8:09 p.m.
The foregoing minutes are hereby approved this day of 2016.
