Adjournment Next Meeting: Thursday, February 21, 1996 om Burlingame Recreation Department MEMORANDUM January 10, 1996 TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: John Williams, Director of Recreation' I) SUBJECT: Staff Report on Regional Skateboard F��ility Discussions This is an informational report for the Commission. Background. On December 6, I met with representatives of Redwood City, San Carlos, Belmont, Foster City, San Mateo and San Mateo County to discuss the potential for a regional skateboard facility. A businessperson who operates a skate shop in the city of San Mateo had approached the San Mateo Parks and Recreation Department about the development of a regional skateboard facility. Several letters of support for such a facility had been received by several of us attending the meeting. Discussion. Not only were group members unanimous in their opinions that such a facility in central San Mateo County would be well received and heavily used, it was also agreed that discussions should include roller hockey and recreational skating (e.g., bayfront paths). No agency appears willing to take on development and operation of skating facilities by itself, at this time. Everyone was intrigued by the idea of developing public skating facilities that could be operated by private contractors, thus enabling the operators to charge lower user fees than would be required to amortize land and development costs by private developers. Few public parks in this area have been developed on a large enough scale to add new skating areas and support services such as parking and restrooms. When the group meets again in January, the County Director of Parks and Recitation will ask the County staff in charge of managing County lands to attend the meeting. Information can be available sites owned in this area by the County. San Mateo will also check for residual land parcels and other possible sites. We know from our past discussions that recreational space in Burlingame is at an absolute premium however, there may be a way we can assist someone with a good project nearby. I have attached a letter from the Belmont Director of Parks & Recreation in which he raises several pertinent issues regarding skating facilities. All of these questions (and many more) will need to be addressed before any project could move forward. I believe that we should continue discussions about any and all options that might lead to public skating facilities in this area. The Commission may want to go on record in support of continued discussions, as well. attachment November 27, 1995 Sheila Canzian Director of Parks & Recreation City of San Mateo 330 W. 20th Avenue San Mateo, CA 94403 Re: Regional Skateboard Facility Dear Sheila: On November 1, 1995 the Belmont Park & Recreation Commission discussed the possibility of the City of Belmont's participation in a regional skateboard facility. The Commission was very interested in the concept and I believe would support a recommendation to our City Council for such a facility. They did, however, raise several issues that still need to be addressed. - What has been the experience of other cities with regard to a skateboard facility? - Would the park include both skateboard and in -line skate users? - Would the park include areas for various skill levels? - Could programs/lessons be made available? - How much space would be needed, including space for parking? - What support is there from area merchants? (in terms of donations towards construction). - Could a concession be set-up at the site to service/sell equipment and set! focd/drink? - How would ongoing operating expenses be handled? - How is liability handled? I realize that some of these questions cannot be answered immediately but they at least will help to focus our discussions. Look forward to seeing you at lunch.

Burlingame,Ca 94010 Dear John Williams, My son and I live in Burlingame and skate boarding has been a real problem with the police hasiling the kids with riding their skateboards in certain areas, like mostly parking lot's are the best places and on curbs but the people don't like them in front of their house's or where they park their cars. So what I'm saying is that if we have somewhere for the kids to skate there wouldn't be a problem with the kids in the parking lot's and in front of people's house's. My son is 13 and he's been skating for bought a year now and he would use the park probably every weekend. Sincerely, �- Raymond Schmidt Burlingame Recreation Department 850 Burlingame Avenue Burlingame, California 94010-3997 Telephone (415) 696-3770 • (415) 696-7216 Fax December 6, 1995 Raymond Schmidt 112 Clarendon Rd. Burlingame, CA 94010 Dear Mr. Schmidt: Thank you for letter in support of a skateboard park in San Mateo. It would be terrific if we had facilities in the area where young people and adults could enjoy skateboarding, inline hockey and inline recreational skating. Unfortunately, land is so precious in the City of Burlingame that we have not been able to find a good location for such a facility, let alone the funds with which to build it. The Burlingame Park and Recreation Commission has expressed itself in favor of skating facilities in the City for several years. Both Park Director Rich Quadri and I have talked with numerous people within the community about skating facilities in recent months. I personally believe that the most logical idea may be the concept of several skating facilities jointly developed and operated throughout San Mateo County by the various public agencies in the county, with private support for development and operation. Several city parks and recreation staff persons and the County Parks and Recreation Director have met on this matter. We are presently sharing the needs and possibilities with our advisory commissions to see if there is support for going ahead with one or more joint projects. This matter will be discussed by the Burlingame Park and Recreation Commission at its next meeting on Thursday night, January 18. Commission meetings begin at 7:30 p.m. in City Hall Conference Room A. I anticipate that the matter will come -up early on the agenda. Your letter will be included on the Commission's agenda and I will be happy to present any other written material to the Commission if I receive copies before the meeting. All persons are welcome to address the Commission on this or any other related park and recreation matter. Again, thank you for your interest. Sincerely, L , u4k__�_ J n W.

Williams Recreation Department Staff 850 Burlingame Avenue Burlingame, CA 94010 Dear Mr. Williams: r0 pv�OA I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Mullane's Pop "N" Stop. I have enclosed my business card, flyer and coupon for your information. Mullane's Pop "N" Stop is an old -fashion popcorn cart that serves fresh, delicious popcorn from a kettle. The Mullane family has lived in Burlingame since 1978 and my children, Kelly and Sean, have attended Franklin, Burlingame Intermediate and are presently attending Burlingame High School. Approximately a year ago, my son, Sean (now age 15) asked me how he could make money during summer and wanted to know what type of jobs I had when I was his age. I explained to him that I delivered the "News Call Bulletin", mowed lawns and washed cars. In today's world, these options are not readily available to our children. We discussed other options and decided to wait until we came up with a unique idea. The opportunity arose a few months ago when I spotted a traditional old -fashion popcorn cart for sale. Sean and I have spent a great deal of time in the last three months working on the trailer, cart and developing the business. The experience Sean will derive from starting a business to, hopefully, successfully building the business will be a valuable lesson for him. We have obtained the necessary permits and insurance to sell popcorn, snacks and beverages from the State Board of Equalization and have been approved by the San Mateo County Health Department. Mullane's Pop "N" Stop is requesting your approval to provide our service in the City of Burlingame. The benefits the City of Burlingame could derive from our service are listed on the next page: N%.. Mr. John Williams Director Recreation Department Staff January 17, 1996 Page 2 1. The popcorn cart and umbrella are bright yellow and red. The cart could serve as a meeting place for lost children or people unfamiliar with the area during a large event. 2. We could be an information center during baseball or soccer season, as we would have a schedule of games, times and team names. 3. For instance, at Washington Park, there is no "snack shack". People have to walk to Burlingame Avenue to get something to eat or drink and then bring it back to watch a game. Mullane's Pop "N" Stop would be ideal for this location. At Bayside, there is only one concession area which apparently is not operating at this time. Mullane's Pop "N" Stop is portable and can easily be moved to different locations. We have received interest and support from Brock Riddle (Burlingame Youth Baseball Association) and Mike Bader (Burlingame AYSO). The popcorn, snacks and beverages will be sold at reasonable prices. A preliminary menu is also enclosed for your information. Hot water may be added so we can provide coffee, tea or hot chocolate. After reviewing this letter and enclosures, we would appreciate it if you would obtain the approval of the Park and Recreation Commission in order for Mullane's Pop "N" Stop to operate in the City of Burlingame. If you have any questions or wish to view the cart, please contact me at 347-5357 or page me at 998-0222. I will be out of town until Sunday, January 21. I will contact you during the week of January 29 to check on the status of our request. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and for your assistance in helping us serve the community of Burlingame. Sincerely, Mullane's Pop "N" Stop N% .
