MEMORANDUM
September 12, 1997
TO: Park & Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks & Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Neighbor Concerns re Ray Park
Recommendation. It is recommended that the Commission review the discussions of the July,
1997 meeting; listen to any new comments by neighbors, Girls Softball League representatives,
and staff, discuss possible changes in park rules or assignments; and make any desired
recommendations to City Council and City staff.
Background. At the July, 1997 Commission meeting several Ray Park neighbors and a
representative of the Burlingame Girls Softball League discussed concerns and issues regarding
Ray Park and softball league use. The neighbors and the softball league representative were
asked to return at the Commission's September meeting to discuss any possible changes in rules
for league use. Staff was also asked to review concerns expressed about park conditions.
The City has taken over maintenance of the Franklin Field turf and infield and the Franklin site
will be in good condition for increased softball games and practice in 1998. Staff is presently
reviewing the use and scheduling of Franklin Field. The league should also schedule as many
tournament and makeup games as possible at the Burlingame High School softball facility. New
Sports Supervisor Mike Blondino will review the scheduling and operation of summer sports
camps at Ray Park and report to the Commission next spring about summer camp plans.
Staff recommends that a specific league representative be assigned to parking control for the 1998
season and that the person assigned be asked to report to the Commission in January, 1998
regarding steps that are planned to prevent the repeat of neighborhood parking problems. Staff
also suggests that the league be charged with distributing schedules and informational fliers door-
to-door in the neighborhood prior to the start of the season and on any Friday afternoon when
makeup games are scheduled for Sunday.
Parks Division staff has reviewed the neighbor concerns about maintenance. Parks crews report
that the softball league usually does a good job of cleaning -up after activities. During the softball
�-- season, Ray Park is usually one of the better parks in the City system for litter and vandalism.
Staff will continue to regularly check and remove pine needles down the right field line along
�-- Devereaux. Some new landscaping down the left field line did not do as well as anticipated this
past year and staff plans to add new vines and Nandina Domestica plants during the fall planting
season. Staff will continue to use care in the regular preparation of the infields, but some dust will
always be a factor when baseball and softball infields are in their season of play. Ray Park
receives the same standard of care as do all City parks.
The park neighbors should probably be warned that the expected visit of "El Nino' this winter
may cause much more rainfall in this area than we have experienced in past years. This may cause
more rainouts and their resultant makeups in 1998. More Sunday games might be expected and
the season might have to be extended in May. Staff continues to believe, as we stated two years
ago, that no girls softball, boys baseball or adult softball league play should start before the first of
April each year, for a variety of reasons. The Commission and City Council set the current
softball league starting date at March 15 each year when this was discussed in Fall, 1995. All of
the baseball and adult softball leagues on Burlingame fields start league play on or after April 1
each year.

AGENDA 8 A

MTG.
DATE
9/15/97
SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement With San Mateo Union High School District re Construction, Maintenance and
Operation of Proposed Burlingame High School Aquatic Center
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed agreement with
the San Mateo Union High School District for the construction, maintenance and operation of a new
Aquatic Center at Burlingame High School, to be used jointly by the District and the City of
Burlingame. $1,000,000 will be appropriated from the approved 1997-98 City Capital Improvement
Project Budget to cover the City's share of construction costs.
BACKGROUND: Since the closure of the Burlingame High School Swim Pool in Spring, 1996,
neither the High School District nor the City has been able to offer aquatic programs for Burlingame
High students or community users. A joint project has been developed to construct, maintain and
operate a new Aquatic Center at Burlingame High School. A project masterplan has been developed
by the swim pool design firm of Aquatic Design, Inc., with input from District and City staff and
from members of the public. It is estimated that $1.3 million will be required to develop the new
pool; to create new City locker rooms, mechanical room, office and concession area; and to relocate
the gymnasium building heating system from the existing pool mechanical room.
The proposed masterplan has been reviewed by the City Council and the District Board of Trustees
and was conceptually approved by both governing bodies. An agreement has been developed to
implement the project and to establish rules and procedures for ongoing maintenance and operation
of the Aquatic Center. The proposed twenty-five year agreement has been reviewed by City and
District staff, as well as by the City Attorney and the County Counsel's office. The agreement calls
for the City to fund $1 million of the construction project and to contribute 65% of the cost of
ongoing maintenance to the District on an annual basis, in exchange for City use of 65% of the
Aquatic Center annual operating hours
The City Council has approved City participation in the Aquatic Center project in the amount of $1
Million in the Capital Improvement Program portion of the City's 1997-98 annual operating budget.
With approval of the proposed agreement, the $1 million will be paid to the School District for
Aquatic Center Construction.
BUDGET IMPACT: $1 Million will be paid to the District for Aquatic Center Construction from the
approved C.I.P. budget. It is estimated that (in today's dollars) the City's annual share of Aquatic
Center maintenance costs will be $39,000 annually in new City expenditures. Additional City staff
will be required to develop and conduct various aquatic programs for the community. New
revenues will be received by the City from program participants and the new revenues will cover
some, but probably not all of the City's share of maintenance and operating costs. Some new City
staff costs can be expected in the current fiscal year. Little or no new maintenance costs are
expected until the 1998-99 fiscal year.
EXHIBITS: The proposed agreement with the San Mateo Union High School District is attached as

Dear Mrs. Burri,
Thank you for your letter of July 18, 1997 about the renovation of the Laguna Park tot lot.
During the tougher financial times of the 1980's, all of our park renovation projects pretty much
got put on hold. We know that the Laguna tot lot needs attention and it is very much on our
priority list of projects.
During the past three years we have been able to do major playground rehabilitation projects at
Village, Ray and Victoria parks. We currently have five (5) tot lots and three larger parks to go.
Due to Laguna's proximity to Village Park, we have not placed Laguna at the top of the priority
list.
The Park & Recreation Commission will not meet in August, but its next regular meeting will be
at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 18, 1997 in Conference Room A, City Hall, 501 Primrose,
Burlingame. I will place your letter on the Commission's meeting agenda and you are welcome to
attend the meeting and address the Commission with your concerns. The Commission is charged
with recommending projects and priorities to both the City Council and the City staff.
Thank you again for your letter bringing the Laguna Park tot lot to our attention.
Sincerely,
c�

Good morning:
I am writing in regard to the Laguna Avenue park, which is adjacent to the tennis courts
on Laguna Avenue. This park, as I'm sure you are aware, is in serious disrepair. The two
metal animals are dangerous, as they lack springs, and children can fall forward off of
them. One of the swings is still the metal type, and I lacerated my finger last week when
my ring caught on the metal bar.
Aside from any potential liability factor involved with this equipment, there has been a
resurgence of the neighborhood in the past several years, and I know of at least thirty
children within two blocks of this park. It is a shame to have such a facility so close by,
yet still have to walk several blocks away to Village Park to play on safe and enjoyable
equipment.
It would also be nice for the people who come to use the Laguna tennis courts to be able
to bring their children and allow them to play in the adjacent park while they were playing
tennis.
The remodeling of Village Park was superb, and your committee should be very proud of
the work done there. In fact, it's such a nice park with the new equipment and bark, that
it sometimes gets very crowded with pre-schools, birthday parties, etc.
I would very much appreciate your consideration in putting the restoration of this little
park as a priority, as I'm sure many of the other parents and neighbors in the area would.
If some sort of a petition or signatures of residents would help facilitate this refurbishment,
please let me know, as I would be happy to go door to door requesting support of this
project from my neighbors.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kerilyn Burri

Re: Athletic Field Lighting at Bayside Park '�V-
Mayor Rosalie O'Mahony:
Approximately 2 years ago, Vince Cauchi, representing the
Burlingame Youth Baseball Association (BYBA), developed a plan to
install lights on the upper baseball fields at Bayside Park. The
installation of lights would expand the available field times, a
much needed commodity for our teams due to the limit number of
ballfields in our community. Vince Cauchi presented a
preliminary plan to Director John Williams; however, we did not
pursue the project due to the uncertainty of the Airport Blvd.
expansion and the undetermined impact of this expansion on
Bayside Park.
I recently met with John Williams regarding the proposed athletic
field lighting project at Bayside Park, recently approved by the
City Council. John Williams indicated the proposed lighting
project will replaced the modest lighting system currently
utilized by soccer teams on the upper athletic field between the
two baseball diamonds (North and South).
Although the BYBA welcomes any improvement or development of
athletic fields for our community for baseball, soccer or other
sports, the proposed lighting project appears too limited in
scope. Any installation or improvement of the field lighting
system to this park should also considered the use and needs of
other community organizations that utilize this facility, such as
the BYBA, and other recreational programs, such as the Recreation
Department's adult softball leagues. We have approximately 34
youth teams (Burlingame youth 7-12 years of age) that utilize
Bayside Park, March through June each year, with an additional 6-
12 teams utilizing the fields from mid June through mid August.
Although we attempt to make the best of the fields allocated to
the BYBA, the limited number of ballfields in our community and
available to us requires creative league scheduling and the
allocation of limited and overlapping practice times to our
teams. Expanding the proposed lighting project to include at
least the South Diamond'at Bayside Park would increase available
field time, provide a facility that can be better utilized by our
community and would be considered a more appropriate expenditure
of funds. Although we would also welcome the lighting of the
North Diamond, this maybe more appropriate as a future project
when the impact of the Airport Blvd. expansion is known.
on behalf of the BYBA, I ask the City Council to reconsidered the
proposed lighting project and consider expanding the project to
include the lighting of the South Diamond at Bayside Park.
Understanding that bids are being solicited for the proposed
project and reconsideration may require further delay, taking the
time to considering the needs of all the community groups and
recreation programs that utilize Bayside Park will make for a
better facility we can all enjoy.
I thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter and
welcome any comments from you.

PARK AND REC COMMISSION--SEPT. 18
SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORT
1. Four Monterey Pines were removed at the northeast corner of the soccer field at Bayside Park.
The trees have had insect problems (Sequoia Pitch Moth) for years. They were poorly structured
from years of hedging/pruning for field lights. A plan is in place to selectively replace them over
time with Coast Redwoods, a less disease prone species.
2. Fall baseball and softball leagues have begun. Fields in use include Washington, Cuernavaca,
and Bayside Main.
3. All soccer fields are in use. They are being kept relatively dry for safe play and so that early
rains can be absorbed without shutting down the fields.
New plantings:
-Annuals at SP Circle
-Burlingame Ave. streetscape plantings as directed by Public Works and Planning.
5. The new park rules at Cuernavaca have been in effect for seven weeks. We have supplemented
the permanent signs with temporary fliers during that time. General acceptance of the rules seems
to be increasing.
�- 6. A new 5 yard heavy duty dump truck was put into service.
7. Contract pruning of eucalyptus trees on Burlingame Ave. began in August and is continuing.
8. An irrigation valve and a park bench were moved in the area of the Rec. back patio to make
room for the proposed performance stage which will be built by Rotary volunteers. The stage will
provide a minimal elevation (8"-12"). It will be located between two existing trees.
9. Plans for the new play area at Paloma Park have been received from the Landscape Architect.
After detailed review, construction documents will be prepared.
