STAFF 8.A. Civic Center Multipurpose Sports Field Feasibility Study and
ADMINISTRATIVE Economic Analysis Findings and Options for Next Steps, was presented.
ITEMS:
SPORTS FIELD Recommended Action
FEASIBILITY STUDY Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Review and comment on feasibility study and economic analysis
findings for the temporary and permanent multipurpose sports field
with a softball field overlay; and
• Consider options and alternatives and provide direction to staff on
next steps.
Questions asked and answered of staff included: if a bond measure didn't
pass, how would the City pay for it; what would happen if the city agreed
to pay for the field, and the bond doesn't pass; where would we anticipate
people park during construction of the current parking lot; when was the
last time a parking study was performed, and on who is currently using the
Civic lot; the cost of the Memorial Park alternative; if Council decides to
go with the temporary option, what is the timeframe to get the shovel in the
ground and remove the parking; is part of the economic cost include the
monthly amount that the courts pay for parking, and how much of a cost
difference is there to expand at Memorial Park; if this field was added to
the Memorial Park expansion, how much of a delay would that cause; what
would the cost be to add a one story parking, and add a field on top of the
parking structure; if you build the park at the Civic without softball, would
it reduce the number of parking spaces lost; would it be feasible to come
back in the next three years with a Master Plan for Memorial Park and
Fisher Lumber while the temporary field is being designed and built at the
Civic; how high do the fences need to be if placed at the Civic lot; if a
multi-purpose field was built, would it cost less if you didn't have to meet
9 June 27, 2017
specific requirements and using synthetic turf; is access required on all four
sides of the field; how many parking spaces are the County allotted
monthly, and the rates they pay; is there a way for the City to create a
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan; would a temporary field
inhibit a developer from participating in a request for proposals (RFP) for
the Civic Auditorium; and, the impact of synthetic versus natural turf
fields.
Members of the public John C. Smith, Mark Pritchard, Larry Arreola, Beth
Leder -Pack, Victor Komlos, Ron Goldman, Soren Thanawalla, Ann
Thanawalla, Zina Josephs, Nikki Kolnolf, Susan Black, Molly White,
Mitchell Lester, Wendy Dembo, Tracey Hom, Damm Pithro, Phil Brock,
Ann Hoover (time donated by Julie Slater), Maryanne LaGuardia, Raquel
Vallejo, Charlene Nakamura, Jill Hawkins, Melina Miyosh, Matt Tolmach,
Joleh Mamita, Serena Dillon, Beth Devakul Clark, Stephanie Schnader,
Jane Tucker, Randy Grube, Kelly Simon, Lori Brown, Mario Fonda-
Bonard, and Chris Knauf spoke generally in favor of building a park at the
Civic Center.
Members of the public Daniel Buckley, Sherri Carter (time donated by
Sybil R. Hale), Lawrence Ramsey, Steve Weaver, James Thorton, Jr.,
Javier Beltran, David Bryant (time donated by Dana Dowse), Maria D.
Chong -Castillo (time donated by Miriam Docter), Helen Zukin, Ruthann

Lemlein, Monisha A. Coellto, Bruria Finkel, Christine Spagndi, Kirk
Dillman, Bruce Cameron, Art Casillas, Michael Toney, Nina Fresco,
Stacey Dalgleish, and Roger Genser, spoke generally in opposition to the
Multi-purpose field being built at the Civic Center.
Considerable discussion ensued on topics including, but not limited to:
other alternatives to the Civic field, because the cost to build new parking
does not make financial sense; it seems realistic to ensure three years of
parking certainty for the Courthouse; create a temporary field without
replacing parking; addressed the comments made about the field being
"promised"; take out the softball overlay from the Civic temporary park,
but look into adding some options for an official Pony field at Memorial
Park.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, seconded by Councilmember McKeown,
to go with the temporary field alternative. To work with the people who
currently park in the surface lot, which includes the courts, to find
alternatives as part of our parking study. Also, to the extent when we put
out an RFP, that we inform people we are looking for parking alternatives,
but at the same time, we continue to look for ways, as part of the Memorial
Park planning process to look for ways to include additional field space
there that might meet the needs of various sports.
10 June 27, 2017
Councilmember Vazquez, wanted to add direction to staff to look at
creating an official Pony field as part of the Memorial Park planning. This
direction was not included as part of the motion.
Councilmember Himmelrich, was in favor of getting rid of the Softball
field overlay.
Councilmember O'Connor, was in favor of the multi-purpose field, but not
in favor of a Softball field in this location.
Councilmember O'Day, proposed a friendly amendment to leave in the
softball overlay for now, and if necessary, maybe make the decision to
remove it at a later date.
Mayor Winterer, proposed a friendly amendment to keep the Softball field
overlay in the motion, and go back to the school district to see if they are
interested in using some of their capital to assist with the cost of the
temporary field. The motion was considered friendly by the maker and
seconder.
Councilmember McKeown, as the maker of the motion, supports the
motion with a timeline to move forward with the rectangular field, with an
open mind toward an analysis of the Softball field, should that become
advisable.
Staff reported that the School Board is meeting on Thursday, and the Sports
field is scheduled for discussion at their meeting.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, seconded by Councilmember McKeown,
to provide direction to create a temporary field, address the parking
concerns with those who are current partners, continue working on the
Memorial Park Expansion Plan that could potentially add more permanent
and temporary playing fields, including issuing a Request for Proposals for
a private partner for the renovation of the Civic Auditorium, and to
authorize the expenditure of the funds required for a parking analysis of the
Civic area parking lot. Include adding on to the temporary field, see what
kind of feedback we receive from the school district next week, and
whether it's worthwhile to them to include a softball field. If not, we
would move ahead with the rectangular sports field. The motion was
approved by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers McKeown, Vazquez, Himmehich, O'Day,
O'Connor, Mayor Pro Tem Davis, Mayor Winterer
