OLD BUSINESS
1. Cuernavaca Park Off Leash Update — Field User Survey Results — Recreation Supervisor
Acquisti stated a six question survey was sent to the seven user groups. She gave a synopsis of the
survey results which indicate there is an impact on the quality of the fields from the off -leash usage,
issues with excess dog waste on the fields and the majority of the groups were against additional off -
leash hours.
Chair Baum opened public comment.
Robert Bierman, AYSO, voiced his frustration about having to pick up dog waste on Cuernavaca
Park before every practice.
Jose Franco, Burlingame, noted he walks on Cuernavaca all the time and has yet to step on any dog
waste.
A community member noted he is a coach and a father and that the dog waste on the grass is
definitely a problem.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Review of Application for Validation — Coyotes Lacrosse - Recreation Supervisor Barry gave
background on the group and states the group meets all the requirements to be approved as a
Validated User Group.
Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes
October 20, 2016
Commissioner Dito asked staff if the group's numbers have changed. Barry stated the group's
numbers have remained consistent.
Chair Baum inquired if there were any public comments on the item. There were none.
Motion by Dito (seconded by Malekos-Smith): Commission moved to validate Coyotes
Lacrosse. MOTION PASSED 6-0-1 (Lewis absent).
2. Burlingame Soccer Club — Addition of U.S. Soccer Development Academy Program —
Supervisor Barry stated staff was notified two days before BSC announced they were adding a U.S.
Soccer Development Academy Program to their organization. Barry noted that from his research the
application process took up to 5 months. Staff felt that the lack of adequate notification to City staff
about the new program prior to the official announcement did not conform with the request from
Commission for improved communication from BSC to staff about potential "issues" on which the
community may have a lot of questions.
Barry researched the academy program and reported it would serve players that had left the BSC
organization to pursue a higher level of play. BSC added this program to attract players back to the
club. Barry noted that currently the academy program restricts players from playing high school
sports starting with the 2021 season. Barry confirmed that the addition of the program was not a
merger or partnership and does not violate the Field Use Policy.
Lawrence Viola, BSC, stated he disagreed with two items in the staff report, that the academy
program application process had been in process for up to 5 months and that he did not feel that the
application for the academy program should be something that fits into the transparency conditions
requested by Commission.
After discussion, which included the benefit to the Burlingame community, keeping the costs for the
players at a reasonable level and confirming the field density matrix will be adhered to by the
organization, Commission closed discussion.
Baum requested a meeting of the Ad Hoc Committee of Baum, Dito and Milne to review the Field
Use Policy and suggest possible amendments to the Commission at a future meeting.
3. Burlingame Soccer Club — Re-evaluation of Fee for 2nd Subletting Violation - Supervisor Barry
stated that the Commission found at their July meeting that a 2nd subletting violation had occurred
and suggested a 50% reduction of the subletting fee be considered if the Burlingame Soccer Club
showed evidence of taking measures to ensure compliance with the Field Use Policy. Staff reported
no further violations have occurred.
Baum opened public comment.
Robert Bierman stated he is working with the groups and has instituted several steps to the process
to improve communications and that the group had been working to keep within the field density
matrix.
Baum closed public comment.
Commission discussed the 2nd subletting violation.

SLJF2LINGAME STAFF REPORT
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
Date: November 17, 2016
From: Tim Barry, Parks and Recreation Supervisor
Subject: Burlingame Soccer Club Conditional Validation Status Review
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission review the conditional validation status of the
Burlingame Soccer Club.
BACKGROUND
At the May 19th Parks and Recreation Commission meeting the Burlingame Soccer Club (BSC)
applied to be a validated user group. The Commission decided to defer approving the BSC as a
validated user group until the June meeting, requesting clarification of the relationship between
BSC and NorCal Soccer. At the June 16th meeting the Parks and Recreation Commission
moved to conditionally approve BSC as a validated user group for the fall 2016 and spring 2017
due to significant challenges and changes to the club. The Commission set forth the following
conditions: a revised mission, separation from the STAR Academy, and an improved scheduling
process.
DISCUSSION
At this time BSC has not submitted an official revised mission. In a recent e-mail to all BSC
members from the BSC Board President, the future of the club was described (Exhibit A).
According to the e-mail, "The BSC is an inspired community of dedicated parents, competitive
players, top-notch coaches and friendships that last a lifetime. We are working harder and
smarter than ever to make Burlingame Soccer Club the most important premier club to serve
our community."
The Burlingame Soccer Club has severed their ties with STAR Academy program. In a memo
provided by BSC from the NorCal Premier Board of Directors it explains that BSC and other
local clubs initially supported the foundation of Star Academy but during the transition BSC,
SMC Star and San Bruno withdrew their support from Star Academy (Exhibit B).
During the fall season, the field scheduling process has improved for practices and games. Bob
Bierman, Burlingame AYSO, took on the role of field scheduling for both organizations and

organizations. He also developed integrated Google calendars that list all BSC and ASYO
games for the season.

Subject: FW: Burlingame Soccer Club
Dear Burlingame Soccer Club Family,
FM
We hope you and your players are having a fantastic Fall 2016 season! We thank you and your players for your
incredible participation —it is your dedication and support that makes BSC the best soccer club and soccer community on
the Peninsula. This Fall in particular has been very special for BSC, and we are thrilled to share with you a general update
on the Club and what to expect for Winter and Spring 2017:
Tryouts!
Wow!11 We are truly pleased to announce that, in addition to our returning players, we have had an overwhelming
response for Fall tryouts by new players. It is exciting to see the Club continue to grow and build its competitive teams. If
you've not yet registered for tryouts click here. If you are not sure when your son or daughter's tryouts are scheduled,
please click the schedule here. It is very important for your player to join us for tryouts. If anything comes up or your
player cannot make the tryout, please communicate with your team Coach. If for some reason there is schedule conflict,
we can work it out.
New for Winter 2016/17 Practice Schedule
This will be our first Winter season in which every age group and team at BSC will have a winter training schedule. We
understand that parents and players need a break for the holidays —we all need time to rest and recover! The winter
training schedule will be lighter than the regular season —most likely one or two short practices a week to reconnect
with your team and coach before we kick in to Spring 2017. Your coach and/or team manager will announce your team
winter schedule in the coming weeks.
Girls US Development Academy
We hope by now you have heard that BSC will be offering the highest level of girl's play as a new member of the US
Development Academy Soccer program in the Fall of 2017. We cannot emphasize enough what a huge honor and
privilege it is to be selected by the USDA which offers the highest level of elite player development for our girls.
Right now, the Club is forming pre -US Development Academy teams to begin playing together for the Spring 2017
Season. Leading this effort is Albertin Montoya, formerly head coach of the United States women's national under-17
soccer team. Coach Montoya will be the Burlingame Soccer Club Director of Coaching for the Girl's Academy program.
Among the many reasons we are so thrilled with the US Development Academy designation is that no other nearby club
has this designation in our area. In order to be awarded this designation, the US Soccer Federation must designate the
club as developer of great talent by top-level, professional coaches. To learn more about the Girl's Academy program,
o here.
So in short, expect lots more news on the progress and development of our pre -US Development Academy Soccer
program at BSC. We invite questions about the program and hope your players will be particularly excited when we add
this whole new level of play to the Club.
NorCal Premier Response to Star
As some of you will recall, BSC and other local clubs expressed great concerns regarding the conduct of Star Academy
this past spring. NorCal Premier formally responded to these complaints by by general memorandum on October 25. In
summary, Star Academy will need to reapply to the NorCal Premier Soccer League should they wish to continue to play
NorCal. Star is currently limited to fielding existing teams on a probationary basis. At this time they may not field any
new teams. Please read the memorandum from NorCal Premier here.
Together we are better, so let's make it matter!
Burlingame Soccer Club is an inspired community of dedicated parents, competitive players, top-notch coaches, and
friendships that last a lifetime. We are working harder and smarter than ever to make Burlingame Soccer Club the most
important premier club to serve our community.
Each weekend, with the sun shining (most of the time!) we get to watch our children play with joy and enthusiasm, build
bonds with their teammates, and learn to appreciate what it means to be part of a team, to work as a team. Their
competitive spirit inspires us to be our best, to do our best for them, day in and day out.
Our goal at BSC is for you and your children to look forward to all the moments you get to share with your players
winning and learning, struggling and overcoming, to be incredible athletes and ultimately incredible competitors. Thank
you for entrusting us with their development —we will not let you down.
With sincere thanks for your commitment to our BSC!
Lawrence Viola
P.S. Last but not least, please consider supporting our families with financial need. For the third year in -a -row, BSC has
organized our club -wide Christmas Tree Fundraiser. A 100% of net proceeds go to the Financial Aid Fund. Last day to
order is November 15th. See the details here.

A
MEMORANDUM
DATE: 10/25/16
TO: Star Academy FC
FROM: NorCal Premier Board of Directors
RE: Star Academy Incidents/ Allegations
,67Xk 1W- - 3
On August 18th, 2016 NorCal requested information regarding the following three allegations:
1. That Star Academy had falsified letters from Barbara Bonilla and Lawrence Viola in their NorCal
new club application.
2. That Star Academy had utilized fields outside of fields listed on the NorCal new club application.
3. That Star Academy had, without permission, accessed SMC Star GotSoccer team accounts and
Bonzi accounts.
After reading through all the Incident Reports and hundreds of pages of documentation, we find the
following: First, while there is no doubt that the letters submitted in the application were incorrect, it is
clear that all parties at one time supported the formation and NorCal status of Star Academy, which is the
main purpose of the letters of recommendation. Second, with regard to the field issues, it has already
been communicated to Star Academy that they are restricted to the use of fields listed on their NorCal
application. The only exceptions to this will be if Star Academy can gain access to a facility within their
area of operation that is not currently being used by any NorCal club, or if they get written permission to
use a facility that is currently being used from all NorCal clubs currently using the shared facility.
Finally, with regards to the access of online accounts, NorCal has been informed that this issue has been
referred to law enforcement officials for investigation, and as such it is no longer being reviewed by
NorCal Premier.
In addition, we find the following clear: Although all parties appear to have initially supported the
formation of Star Academy, during the transition from SMC Star to Star Academy the founding clubs
(Burlingame SC, SMC Star, San Bruno) withdrew their support from Star Academy. Finally, it is clear to
NorCal that Star Academy is not the same club that was presented to NorCal in the new club application
process with respect to its leadership, direction and structure.
Given the clear shift in the structure of Star Academy, the NorCal Premier Board of Directors requires
that Star Academy re -apply as a new NorCal Premier club in order to be considered for the opportunity to
continue as a NorCal member club past their probation period (May 2017). Star Academy's application
will be considered in our next application window in March, which will give Star Academy an answer
regarding their membership status by June 1 st. NorCal is aware that tryouts will happen prior to the
application window and that ambiguity regarding the club's status could have a negative impact on the
club's ability to continue to field its current teams. Consequently, the NorCal Board will grant each of
Star Academy's current teams a grace period, in which those teams will be permitted to continue as
NorCal teams until they age out of NorCal competitions, even if membership is denied in the spring
application window. This extended grace period is granted under the assumption that Star Academy
upholds all NorCal standards and club expectations. The list of teams that will receive this grace period
are listed below:
I.
98 Girls (1 team)
2.
99 Boys (1 team)
3.
00 Boys (1 team)
4.
01 Boys (2 teams)
5.
01 Girls (1 team)
6.
02 Boys (1 team)
7.
03 Boys (1 team)
8.
04 Boys (1 team)
9.
04 Girls (2 teams)
10.
05 Boys (I team)
Any expansion of teams to Star Academy beyond the list above will need to be approved as part of Star
Academy's new club application in 2017.
Thank you,
The NorCal Premier Board of Directors
You may have the ability to appeal this matter to US Club Soccer should you choose to do so. It is
suggested that you contact your US Club Soccer Regional Representative (grood@usclubsoccer.org) for
more information. In any event, ifyou are able to and decide to appeal, you must email a notice of
appeal letter to US Club Soccer within 5 business days ofyour receipt ofthe Nor Cal appeal decision,
together with a copy ofthat appeal decision. A check in the amount of $200 will be required should US
Club Soccer accept your appeal.

Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission review information from the
Skyline Parcel Community meeting and provide recommendations for next steps.
BACKGROUND
On October 6, 2016, Parks Superintendent Bob Disco and Recreation Supervisor Nicole
Acquisti, along with Landscape Architect John Cahalan, hosted a community meeting to discuss
the possibility of using the three (3) acre parcel on Skyline as an off -leash area for dogs.
Community members were notified of the meeting through the enews as well as 700 mailers
were sent neighborhoods surrounding the proposed project. Prior to this meeting, Burlingame
Parks and Recreation staff met with Burlingame planners, as well as the Town of Hillsborough
Beautification Committee and Hillsborough City Manager, to discuss the details of the proposed
project.
DISCUSSION
At the meeting, John Cahalan provided renderings of the proposed site (Exhibits A and B) and
the approximately 30 attendees were able to ask questions and voice their opinions about the
proposal. In addition, Parks and Recreation staff received comments via email and phone in
regards to the proposed project.
The feedback that was received included:
1. Open area for dogs and people to exercise
2. Increased hours in the City for off -leash opportunities
3. Enclosed space
4. Natural environment
5. City owned
6. Only one ADA spot was displayed on the proposal per the ADA requirements
7. Increased traffic along Skyline Blvd
8. Increase in visitors to neighborhood
9. People crossing Skyline Blvd
10. Increase in noise

DESIGN OBJECTIVES
• Sustainable approach: To the extent possible, the site will
remain in its natural state with occasional landscape
maintenance and a reliance on the good will of the park users
to keep the park in an attractive condition. This approach will
create a unique setting that will blend with the neighborhood
and its beautiful surroundings.
• Accessibility: While the park will maintain its natural state
and rolling topography, accessibility is a top priority and is
addressed with accessible parking, an unloading area and
pedestrian gate access at the entry.
• Pet freedom and safety: The site will be an off -leash park
surrounded with a 6-foot high perimeter fence, a double -entry
gate system and a watering station, all intended to provide for
the comfort and safety of the pets and their owners/ visitors.
