SKATE PARK NEEDS ASSESSMENT STUDY RESULTS B. ROLLER HOCKEY RINK DESIGN ALTERNATIVES CAO RECOMMENDATION 1. As recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission: a. Receive the results of the Santa Rosa Skate Park Needs Study. b, Approve an amount not to exceed $37,000 to develop a Santa Rosa Skate Park Master Plan. c. Authorize staff to spend up to $50,000 on new modular skate park equipment to assure the interim safety of the facility. 2. Receive update on Roller Hockey Rink Expansion Capital Improvement Project. REPORT-IN-BRIEF A Skate Park Needs Assessment Study was approved as part of the work program for the 2007- 09 Major City Goal for Roller Hockey Rink and Skate Park Improvements at Santa Rosa Park. RRM Design, Inc. (RRM) was hired to complete the study and over the past several months facilitated public workshops to ascertain the needs of the skate park community. Results indicate a collective desire for an in-ground concrete skate park with terrain that combines a blend of elements. The development of a Skate Park Master Plan is recommended as the next phase in this process. A Master Plan would provide the conceptual framework for developing plans and specifications for construction of an improved skate park facility as well as preliminary construction cost estimates. In the interim, many of the elements in the City's existing skate park have deteriorated to the point where "patching" is no longer an option. To assure the safety of the skaters until a new skate park can be constructed, funding is requested to purchase new modular components with a life expectancy of five to 10 years. The Roller Hockey Rink Expansion capital improvement project (CIP) was also approved as part of the work program for this particular Major City Goal. Staff has worked with a consultant engineer and major stakeholders to develop options for completing the project. Additional Results of Santa Rosa Skate Park Needs Assessment Study& Page 2 Status of Roller Hockey Rink Improvements investigation is needed to determine the best possible alternative. Once further study of alteratives is completed, staff and the stakeholders will review the costs and benefits and return to Council with a recommendation for design and the strategy for funding the design and construction costs. DISCUSSION 2007-09 Major City Goal: Roller Hockey Rink and Skate Park Improvements During preparation of the City's 2007-09 Financial Plan, members of both the roller hockey and skateboarding communities came forward requesting upgrades to existing facilities. In response to their expressed needs, and in light of the ongoing maintenance problems at the roller hockey rink and skate park, the.City Council adopted a Major City Goal for Roller Hockey Rink and Skate Park Improvements as part of the 2007-09 Financial Plan. The work program for the roller hockey rink included design and construction of an expanded, regulation sized, facility. The work program associated with skate park improvements included a CIP for a skate park needs study to identify the best course of action for the facility, with options for either: 1. Replacing the aging equipment with more durable equipment; or 2. Building a new facility that incorporates industry-standard features. The CIP anticipated that if the outcome of the study was for a new facility, funds were allocated for preliminary design documents and to keep deteriorating equipment safe until a new park could be constructed. (Attachment 1, Major City Goal and Capital Improvement Project— Santa Rosa Skate Park Improvements.) History of City Skate Park Facilities The City's skateboarding program has been in existence since 1994. For the first six years, it shared the Santa Rosa Park multi-use court with roller hockey leagues, youth basketball programs, and in-line skating interests. In 2000, due primarily to the steadily growing number of participants with competing needs, the City expanded adjacent to the multi-use area to include a 6,000 square feet concrete slab, lights, fencing, and a storage building specifically designed for skateboarding activity. Over the years, the skateboarding area has been finnished with ramps and obstacles built by City staff, users, and volunteers. This equipment is comprised mainly of wood. As the skate park is an outdoor facility, the ramps are exposed year round to the elements and this exposure causes the equipment to rapidly decay. The repetitious nature of skateboarding has caused the ramps to deteriorate, which staff repairs each year by replacing the top riding surface and reinforcing the frames and underneath supports. In 2006, the Joint Use Committee (JUC) provided $7,000 in funding to upgrade the surfaces on most of the equipment, but the fact that the equipment is wood based creates ongoing maintenance issues. In fact, over the past month or so, staff has permanently removed a piece \\chstore2\Team\Council Agenda Reports\Parks&Recreation CAR\CAR Skate Park Needs Study Results 5.20.08.doc 2 -e�- Results of Santa Rosa Skate Park Needs Assessment Study& Page 3 Status of Roller Hockey Rink Improvements called the "Pyramid" and is reconstructing over one third of the mini ramp due to structural failure. It has been an uphill battle for staff to keep the facility safe for community use. Skate Park Needs Study Process and Results In November, 2007, the City of San Luis Obispo contracted with RRM Design Group (RRM)"to facilitate a public process to assess renovation needs for the Santa Rosa Skate Park." Mike Sherrod, a Principal with RRM Design Group, will attend the May 20, 2008 Council Meeting and summarize the findings of the Skate Park Needs Assessment Study. The Study focused on whether the community preferred replacing the existing equipment with new modular equipment or developing a new skate park with greater terrain variety. Through public meetings, the Study sought to identify: 1. The desired skate park equipment and material type 2. The minimum and maximum size range for the skate park 3. Skating terrain preferences 4. The current programs and potential events for the skate park 5. The budget range for improving the skate park. First Community Meeting. RRM facilitated two public workshops to consider the needs of local skate board enthusiasts. The first meeting was held on Saturday, January 26, 2008 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at the Mitchell Park Senior Center to assess the community's equipment and terrain preferences for the skate park. The workshop was attended by 22 members of the public. The main objective of the workshop was to provide members of the public an opportunity to review and share opinions about three types of skate park materials: modular; pre-cast concrete; and in-ground concrete. Following a presentation by the consultants on the advantages and disadvantages of each option, the participants overwhelmingly preferred the in-ground concrete skate park. Second Community Meeting. The second community workshop was held on Saturday, March 1, 2008 to assess the community's terrain and layout preferences. Over 50 members of the public attended the session, which was designed to provide members of the public with an opportunity to review and share opinions about three types of skate park terrain: 1. Street(plaza and urban street elements) 2. Transition (pools and flow-bowls) 3. Signature features (unique terrain elements) Facilitators discussed the potential size range for the skate park expansion and presented images of the three terrain types listed above, along with advantages and disadvantages of each. Following the presentations, participants voted for their preferred skate park terrain. Results were split nearly equally between the choices: Transition (37%); Street (33%) and Signature Features (30%), indicating that the terrain should most likely include a blend of elements. \\chstore2\Team\Council Agenda Reports\Parks&Recreation CAR\CAR Skate Park Needs Study Results 5.20.08.doc Results of Santa Rosa Skate Park Needs Assessment Study& Page 4 Status of Roller Hockey Rink Improvements Skate Park Needs Study Results. Comprehensive results of the Skate Park Needs Study are contained in Attachment 2 and provide information on potential size range, terrain mix, design enhancements, desired availability of the facility, potential programs and events that effect design considerations and a construction budget range. The consultants will be available to present a detailed report of the Study to Council and answer questions. Preliminary Construction Budget Range for the Skate Park. The cost of an in-ground concrete skate park depends on the park's ultimate size and design complexity. The Skate Park Needs Study provides an estimated construction budget in Section Three for in-ground concrete skate parks ranging in size and complexity from 8,000 square feet to 18;500 square feet. With supporting amenities, administrative, design, permit and escalation costs added to basic construction costs, estimates range from $533,250 to $1,267,950. Skate Park Next Steps (Two Significant Steps). The Skate Park Needs Study shows a preference for constructing a new in-ground concrete skate park. Based on the work program for the CIP, the next steps in the process include 1) the development of a preliminary design, or Master Plan, from which to develop plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates; and 2) the replacement of deteriorating equipment to create a safe environment until a new park can be constructed. 1. Santa Rosa Skate Park Master Plan. A Skate Park Master Plan provides the conceptual framework for developing plans and specifications for construction of the facility and a preliminary construction cost opinion based on the final design plan. Building on skater specific ideas generated from public workshops, the Master Plan incorporates skate terrain such as street elements and flow bowls, pools and other transition features, with the goal of maximizing the "flow" of the park. The preliminary design plan also illustrates the.supporting park elements such as site circulation, spectator seating, event staging areas, entry plaza, lighting, and planter areas. Additionally, a Master Plan includes a preliminary construction cost estimate and therefore presents information crucial for the development of a phasing strategy and fundraising goals in time for the City's 2009-11 Financial Plan. The cost of preparing a Master Plan has been estimated at $37,000. Funding currently exists in the CIP budget to support hiring a consultant firm to complete the Master Plan. Staff recommends pursuing the Master Plan at this time and recommends retaining the design services of RRM for this next phase for the following reasons: 1. RRM was selected as one the pre-qualified architectural design consultants for the City as part of our efforts to make use of Measure Y revenues and is currently on contract with the City. 2. RRM successfully completed the Santa Rosa Skate Park Needs Assessment Study and staff is very satisfied with their work. 3. RRM partners with Wormhoudt, Inca on skate park development projects and Wormhoudt, Inc. is one of a handful of premier skate park design firms in the nation. \\chstore2\Team\Council Agenda Reports\Parks&Recreation CAR\CAR Skate Park Needs Study Results 5.20.08.doc � -y Results of Santa Rosa Skate Park Needs Assessment Study& Page 5 Status of Roller Hockey Rink Improvements 4. Through their work on the Needs Assessment Study, RRM and Wormhoudt, Inc. have earned the respect and trust of the local skate park community. 5. RRM is already familiar with the needs of the community and the local skate park users, and contracting with them for this phase of the project allows the City to maintain the momentum necessary to prepare documents for development of the 2009-11 Financial Plan and save costs associated with getting another firm"up to speed." 2. Replace Existing Skate Park Modular Equipment_ $120,000 was allocated in the Skate Park CIP to purchase more durable equipment, with the caveat that if the Needs Assessment Study identified the desire for a new skate park, then some of the funding would be used to keep the deteriorating equipment safe until a new skate park could be constructed. Since the CIP was developed, many of the elements in the skate park have deteriorated to the point where "patching" is no longer an option. As mentioned above, one of the major pieces of equipment, the "Pyramid," has been removed completely due to irreparable damage and staff is currently reconstructing over one third of the mini ramp due to structural failure. To assure the safety of the skaters until a new skate park can be constructed, staff is requesting that up to $50,000 in funding be used to purchase modular components. With a life expectancy of five to 10 years, the equipment will provide users with a safe, durable, and challenging facility and can be sold if and when a new skate park is completed. (See Attachment 3 for samples of modular skate parks with a value of$50,000.) Status of the Santa Rosa Park Roller Hockey Rink Improvements CIP Summary. The expansion of the existing Roller Hockey Rink, at Santa Rosa Park is outlined in the 2007-09 Financial Plan CIPs. This project involves extending the existing concrete slab, repairing cracks and resurfacing the entire rink (new and old slab) to provide a level and even playing surface (Attachment 1, Roller Hockey Rink CIP). Adding lights to illuminate the expansion area and replacing damaged perimeter boards and fencing are also included in the project scope. Preliminary Design and Study. Wallace Group, a local engineering firm, was hired to investigate and explore different design solutions and cost estimates for expanding the rink and providing an even playing surface that would not be prone to reflective cracking and continual maintenance. Several stake holders meetings have held, with hockey rink users, to discuss the project and flesh out any other issues or concerns with the rink. The project engineer returned to the stakeholders group with various alternatives to expand and resurface the court. Solutions ranged from expanding the court and bridging the cracks and joints with a high strength concrete topping to complete removal and replacement of the slab. The stakeholders and project engineer did not believe a thin coating, anticipated at the time the CIP request was written and approved, could provide a safe playing surface over the joints where the slab was extended. Of the alternatives reviewed, surprisingly, the most cost effective alternative was to completely remove and replace the slab. This alternative has the added benefit of allowing the rink to be raised and sloped to address frequent ponding and drainage issues that currently exist. Although \\chstorc2\Team\Council Agenda Rcports\Parks&Recreation CAR\CAR Skate Park Needs Study Results 5.20.Og.doc Results of Santa Rosa Skate Park Needs Assessment Study& Page 6 Status of Roller Hockey Rink Improvements most cost effective, the cost for this option is estimated around $325,000, and is over the current budget of$180,000. Further Investigation of Possible Less Costly Solution. Before making a recommendation to Council about the final Roller Hockey Rink expansion project, staff has directed the project engineer to investigate the possibility of a potentially lower cost solution. This solution would involve adding on to the existing slab as originally envisioned but, rather than resurfacing it with a thin high strength concrete topping, it would use synthetic tile sporting surface like "Sport Court" or "Ice Court" to bridge over the underlying cracks and joints. Early estimates for this option are around $250,000 (including slab expansion). However, it is not known at this time 1) how the tiles will holdup outdoors, 2) if they can effectively bridge the joints and cracks, 3) if they will mildew in the ponding water, and 4) the additional cost, if any, for maintenance, vandalism, and general up-keep. After the project engineer completes the investigation and study of this potential cheaper alternative, staff and the stakeholders will review the costs and benefits and return to Council with a recommendation for design and a strategy for funding the design and construction costs. CONCURRENCES The Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) reviewed the Santa Rosa Skate Park Needs Assessment Study at their May 7, 2008 meeting and concur with staff recommendations (Attachment 4, Draft PRC Minutes.) FISCAL IMPACT $120,000 has been allocated in the Santa Rosa Skate Park Improvement CIP for development of preliminary design plans and replacement or renovation of the existing skate park equipment to keep it safe. It will cost $37,000 to complete the Skate Park Master Plan and $50,000 to replace and renovate the existing modular skate park equipment. If a new in-ground skate park is built within the next five years, the City may be able to sell some or all of the modular equipment and recover some of its costs. ALTERNATIVES 1. Purchase More Durable Skate Park Features. Rather than pursuing a Master Plan, Council could provide direction to staff to use the full $120,000 allocated in the CIP to purchase more durable modular equipment (see Attachment 5 for sample of modular equipment valued at $100,000.) This action is not recommended because the community has clearly identified the in- ground skate park as the park of choice and the Parks and Recreation Commission concurs. Additionally, until a Skate Park Master Plan has been completed and the design and complexity of the skate park determined, the cost estimates contained in the Needs Assessment Study reflect a very broad range of fiscal impact. Finally, the skating community has expressed a willingness \\chstore2\Team\Counci1 Agenda Reports\Parks&Recreation CAR\CAR Skate Park Needs Study Results 5.20.08.doc —& Results of Santa Rosa Skate Park Needs Assessment Study& Page 7 Status of Roller Hockey Rink Improvements to pursue major fund raising efforts to support an in-ground skate park, however, the extent of that support remains undetermined until the users "buy into" a design concept that meets their needs. 2. Specific Direction on Future Park. A second alternative is to authorize the completion of the Santa Rosa Skate Park Master Plan, but in an attempt to control future costs, provide direction on the size of the facility that will balance the needs and wants of the community with Council's desired funding level. This is not recommended because it is premature in light of a number of unknowns, including: desired design features, which contribute to cost; usability of the site and site constraints; and fundraising capabilities of the community. All of these areas will be fleshed out in the Master Plan process. ATTACHMENTS 1. Major City Goal and CIP for Skate Park Improvements and Roller Hockey Rink Expansion 2.

POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES MAJOR CITY GOALS -ROLLER HOCKEY RINK AND SKATE PARK BeROVEMENTS OBJECTIVE Complete major upgrades to the existing roller hockey rink and skateboard park facilities at Santa Rosa Park. DISCUSSION Measure Y Relationship This major City goal for improving roller hockey and.skate board facilities responds to the significant community input received in written correspondence and at the Community Forum held on January 10, 2007. It also ties to the priority of using Measure Y funds in taking care of existing infrastructure and facilities. While this project will result in enhancements to the roller hockey rink (and may do so in the case of the skate board park, depending on the outcome of the proposed study), this work program addresses significant maintenance and repair needs for both of these facilities Workscope Summary The proposed work scope includes the following key elements: Skate Park Needs Study and Associated Improvements. The workscope for the skate park needs study and associated improvements includes the following: 1. Develop a request for proposals (RFP) for a skate park needs study. 2. Hire consultant, meet with stakeholders, complete study identifying what type of facility upgrades or new facility is needed, and present results to the Parks &Recreation Commission and Council. 3. Depending on the results of the study, replace existing equipment or develop design and construction documents for new skate park. Roller Hockey Rink Expansion. The workscope for the roller hockey rink expansion includes the following: 1. Meet with stakeholders, including the YMCA, coaches, and users, to seek input on facility needs. 2. Design and complete expansion of the rink, including installing additional lighting, replacing damaged fencing, installing new boards, reconstructing the subsurface and resurfacing the entire rink. Earisting Situation Skate Park Needs Study and Associated Improvements The City's skateboarding program has been in existence since 1994. For the first six years, it shared the Santa Rosa Park multi-use area with roller hockey leagues, youth basketball programs and in-line skating interests. In 2000, due primarily to the steadily growing number of participants with competing needs, the City expanded the multi-use area to include an additional 6,000 square feet concrete slab, fencing and a new storage building specifically designed for skateboarding activity. Over the years, the skateboarding area has been furnished with ramps and obstacles built by City staff, the users and volunteers. The equipment is comprised mainly of wood. As the park is an outdoor facility, the ramps are exposed year round to the elements and the equipment is decaying. The repetitious nature of skateboarding has caused the ramps to deteriorate. Staff is responsible for repairing the equipment each year, replacing the top riding surface and reinforcing the frames and underneath supports. In 2006, the Joint Use Committee provided B-66 ATTACHMENT POLICIES OBJECTrV.ES MAJOR CITY GOALS—ROLLER HOCKEY RINK AND SKATE PARK IMPROVEMENTS $7,000 in funding to upgrade the surfaces on most of the equipment, but the fact that the equipment is wood based creates ongoing maintenance issues. A skate park needs study, estimated to cost $15,000, will identify the best course of action for the facility, which would include options for: 1. Replacing aging equipment with more durable equipment in a facility with significant limitations. With this approach, the outcome will be new, safer equipment. Although use would be constrained by existing limitations, this option could be implemented quickly. The proposed work program includes funding of $120,000 for this. 2. Or building a new facility that incorporates industry-standard features. While this approach would ultimately result in the construction of "state-of-the-artskate park, it would take longer to achieve; and require a commitment of resources beyond those currently proposed for 2007-09. Based on very preliminary cost estimates, a new skate park would cost between $300,000 to $450,000. If this is the direction the Council takes, then we would recommend that the $120,000 for equipment replacement be reallocated to building the new skate park. Although specifics of the study will need to be developed, a typical skate park needs study includes the following: 1. Pre-design meeting to review the project approach, scope and schedule of services. 2. Data collection regarding the existing site and a study session with staff to review key issues, including skate park scope of improvements, budget, operations, maintenance, neighborhood concerns and impacts, and access. 3. Site analysis. 4. Input workshop with the community, existing user groups, local skaters and City staff to seek input and have a "hands-on"design charette to formulate a design layout. 5. Two skate park layout alternatives will be designed to address the proposed program. 6. Cost analysis; and comparison of pros and cons of replacing existing equipment versus building a new facility. 7. Presentation of results to the community, user groups, Parks &Recreation Commission and Council. RoUer Hockey Rink Expansion Construction of the rink. The existing rink was originally constructed as a basketball court in the 1950's. In 1996, largely through volunteer efforts and fundraising, this area was expanded, an overlay was added and fencing and boards were constructed to create a small, non-standard roller hockey rink. As a result of the additions concrete and asphalt to create the existing rink, it constantly cracks at the joints between the surfaces. Even with annual resurfacing using tennis court-type slurry, the cracks quickly reappear. In addition to expanding the rink, it will be necessary to repair the entire rink surface; expand and replace the fencing; install additional lighting; and reconstruct the boards to match the expanded size. Current recreational uses. The facility is presently used for organized sports year-round. The existing rink measures approximately 150 by 80 feet, which is appropriate for the very youngest players, below age 7, but is too short for older children and adults. The primary league is coordinated by the YMCA and is geared toward three different ages. Other users include the San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles High School teams and Cal Poly Fraternity clubs. Pick-up games are frequent. The local YMCA program has three seasons of roller hockey: a ten-week season in the fall and spring; and a five-week season in the summer. The ten-week programs involve B-67 —9 ATiACHMENT� I POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES MAJOR CITY GOALS —ROLLER HOCKEY RINK AND SKATE PARK IlOROVEMENTS I approximately 120 kids each; and the shorter five-week season involves about half that number. The rink is also used for practice by the roller derby team. It is also used for basketball, recreational inline skating and skateboarding daily. I Work Completed Skate Park Needs Study and Associated Improvements I In 2000, due primarily to the steadily growing number of participants with competing needs, the City expanded the multi-use area at Santa Rosa Park to include an additional 6,000 square foot concrete slab, fencing and a new storage building specifically designed for skateboarding activity. Over the years, the skateboarding area has been furnished with ramps and obstacles built by City staff, the users and volunteers. In 2006, the Joint Use i Committee provided$7,000 in funding to upgrade the surfaces on most of the wood-based equipment. 1 Roller Hockey Rink Expansion C Eleven years ago, with the assistance of local citizens and the YMCA, the City converted an existing basketball I court to a roller hockey rink. Concrete was added to the ends to enlarge the playing surface to its current size. A I surface treatment (much like a tennis court surface but with longer fibers to withstand the lateral forces of the skates) was laid over the expanded rink area; and fencing and boards were constructed around the perimeter. Donations improved the existing lighting to allow for night practice and play. I CONSTRAINTS AND LIMITATIONS Skate Park Needs Study and Associated Improvements There are no known significant project constraints or limitations. The consultant will include the stakeholders in the process to assist in understanding the project. Should a new facility be recommended, added resources would be required to design and build the improvements. Roller Hockey Rink Expansion There are no known significant project constraints or limitations. The users of the facility will be interested in the scope and timing of the project and will be included in developing the final project proposal. The modest increase to the rink footprint may impact other park users during construction. STAKEHOLDERS Skate Park Needs Study and Associated Improvements The youth, teens and adults who use the facility are the major stakeholders and to a lesser extent the community at-large, who experience damage to facilities due to illegal skateboarding activity. The neighbors adjacent to the skate park, should a new facility be recommended, will be major players in the process. Parks & Recreation and parks maintenance staff are also stakeholders. Roller Hockey Rink Expansion The major stakeholders are the hockey players (from the YMCA to High School to Cal Poly), roller derby teams, regular park users and parks maintenance. Parks maintenance staff will be involved through the internal review B-68 a 7� I ATTACHMENT_ MAJOR CITY GOALS—ROLLER HOCKEY RINK AND SKATE PARK IMPROVEMENTS process and will be able to provide valuable information on the impact to current facilities. Both City staff and the YMCA will be consulted on the historical maintenance issues with the rink. The hockey players can be reached through their organization prior to the initiation of design to solicit their input within the boundaries of the available funding. Posted notices and information sheets at the park during the planning and preconstruction phase will be used in an effort to reach regular park users who don't use the rink but may be interested in its expansion.

Without a clear and definitive project work scope, cost projections have been based on preliminary estimates received from independent consultants who perform this work. The amount and intensity of staff resources needed to complete this project will be dependent upon the final scope of the project. If a new facility is recommended as a result of the study, new facility costs range between $35 to $45 per square foot. Best practice indicates that an 8,000 to 10,000 square foot facility is the minimum size required to meet the needs of skateboarders. Based on this, new facility ranges from$300,000 to $450,000. As noted above, the proposed budget of $120,000 is based on replacing existing equipment. If the decision is build a new skate park, we would recommend not purchasing new equipment, but rather, reallocating the budget to design and construction of the new facility. Roller Hockey Rink Expansion. Construction costs are based on recent experience and could change if there are changes in labor and material costs. The proposed project would expand the rink by 30 feet. This will result in facility that is within the range "regulation play." This concept could evolve as additional stakeholders are engaged. A larger rink would result in higher costs and a greater loss of grass area. B-69 �� ATTACHMENT__ Imo.

In 2000, due primarily to the steadily growing number of participants with competing needs, the City expanded the multi-use area to include an additional 6000 sq ft concrete slab, fencing and a new storage building, specifically designed for skateboarding activity.

In 2006, the Joint Use Committee provided $7,000 in funding to upgrade the surfaces on most of the equipment, but the fact that the equipment is wood based creates ongoing maintenance issues. During the Public Forum, held January 10, 2007, over 30 users of the skate park requested that the facilities, both the multi-use area and the skateboarding area, receive major upgrades. In response, the City Council identified roller hockey and skate park improvements as a Major Council Goal. Staff has determined that the best approach to upgrading the skateboarding area is to conduct a study on what is the best course of action: replace aging equipment with more durable equipment in a facility with significant limitations or build a new facility that incorporates industry-standard features. A study of the needs of the community and users seems the most prudent approach. Depending on the outcome of the study, two options for action have been presented: I 1. If the study reveals that the current facility best meets the needs of the community, funding will be needed to address the ongoing deterioration of the skateboarding equipment. This first option requests $120,000 to upgrade the equipment to a more durable steel product topped with a phenolic resin or steel powder coated riding surface. 02-13 3-358 Al iACIVAENT�` • SANTA ROSA SKATE PARK EWMOVEMENTS 1 2. If a new facility is recommended as a result of the study, the request seeks funding for design and construction documents and some funding to keep the deteriorating equipment safe until a new park can be constructed. In this case,staff would return to City Council for construction funding in 2009-11. As a reference, constructing a new facility costs between $35 to$45 per square foot. Best practice indicates that an 8,000 to 10,000 square foot facility is the minimum size required to meet the needs of skateboarders. Based on this, the cost of a new facility would be$320,000 to$400,000. Goal and Policy Links 1. Major City Goal 2007-09,Roller Hockey and Skate Park Improvements 2.

Major City Goal 2005-07, Infrastructure Maintenance Project Work Completed Staff has completed preliminary research on both the work scope and costs associated with the study, design work and development of construction documents. No other work has been completed. Environmental Review There will need to be an environmental review under CEQA. Project Constraints and Limitations. Should an outside consultant not be funded, completing the study would fall to staff in the Parks and Recreation and Community Development Departments, and its completion dependent upon existing workloads. Stakeholders. The youth, teens and adults who use the facility; the community at-large, who experience damage to facilities due to illegal skateboarding activity; Parks and Recreation and Parks Maintenance staff.

Project Manager and Team Support Project Manager. Parks and Recreation Staff Project Team. Parks and Recreation Staff,Parks Maintenance Staff Alternatives 1. Deny the Project. By denying the project, the City will move forward with replacing existing equipment with more durable equipment, without the knowledge of what is best for the community and users. 2. Defer or Re phase the Request. Equipment at the skateboarding park will continue to deteriorate. Operating Program Parks and Recreation Project Effect on the Operating Budget 1.

Project Objectives I 1. Expand the existing rink by 30 feet—including additional lighting 2. Resurface and repair existing slab during expansion 3. Replace damaged fencing 4. Replace damaged boards Erdsting Situation f The existing roller rink was originally constructed as a basketball court in the 1950's. The original concrete slab from that era provides the underlying surface. To create the existing roller hockey rink, the slab was added to, and the basketball hoops retained. As a result of volunteer efforts coordinated through the YMCA, the hockey rink area was eventually enclosed with low wooden boards and chain link fencing. Finally, as the funds were donated and accumulated lighting was added. At present, the existing rink measures approximately 150' x 80' and is not regulation size. The rink is used for organized sports by several different hockey leagues. The primary league is coordinated by I the YMCA and is geared toward three different ages. Other users include the San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles High School teams and Cal Poly Fraternity clubs. Pick up games are frequent. The local YMCA program has 3 seasons of hockey, a ten week season in the fall and spring and a five week season in the summer. The 10 week I programs involve approximately 120 kids each with the short season involving about half that number. The rink is also used for practice the roller derby. It is still used for basketball, recreational inline skating and skateboarding. ' Through the YMCA, volunteers perform the bulk of the maintenance. The rink remains in fair condition with several areas in dire need of resurfacing and the fencing beginning to decline. Because a standard hockey rink is 210' x 80', our rink is small. While this size rink is good for the very youngest players, below age 7, the older children and the adult teams find it too short. It appears that an extension of 30', bringing the rink length to 180' would.be a large enough expansion to provide a regulation rink while at the same time not infringing on the pant space too much. Upon expansion the fencing which is showing signs of wear should be replaced then. The rink is lighted and extending the rink would require the addition of two lights to provide even lighting, or the new portion would remain in shadow during evening practice. Once a new section of rink is added, the entire rink will need to be resurfacing to provide an even playing area. Goal and Policy Links 1.

There will be one tree removal needed;however,the budget includes two replacement trees. Project Constraints and Limitations. There are no known significant project constraints or limitations. The YMCA, high school and Cal Poly teams, and pick up hockey players will likely be interested in the project and its timing and will be included in information outreach about the project. Stakeholders. The major stakeholders are the YMCA, the hockey players, the roller derby skaters and regular park users and parks maintenance. Parks maintenance staff will be involved through the internal review process and will be able to provide valuable information on the impact to current facilities and historical maintenance issues with the rink. The hockey players can be reached through their organization prior to the initiation of design to solicit their input within the boundaries of the available funding. Posted notices and information sheets at the park during the planning and preconstruction phase will be used in an effort to reach regular park users who don't use the rink but may be interested in its expansion... The Tree Committee will be involved in any tree removal requests and their recommendations for replanting will be incorporated in the final plan. Project Phasing and Funding Sources Pro"ect Costs by Phase Project Costs Budget-to-Date 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-I1 Total Design 25,000 25,000 Construction 180,000 180,000 Construction Management 25,000 25,000 Total 1 - 25,000 205,000 - 230,fM Project Funding by Source General Fund. Staff will request a donation from the Jansen Fund, but the donation, if given, will likely be less than 5% of the project cost. Key Project Assumptions Construction costs are based on recent experience and could change if there are changes in labor and material costs. The project scope is based on discussions with a single representative of the hockey leagues. However, this representative has been involved in the league for many years, serves on the YMCA hockey task force, provides, or arranges for the maintenance work to be completed and staff has considerable confidence in the information provided. 3-355 �7 a . SANTA ROSA PARK ROLLER RINK EXPANSION Project Manager and Team Support Project Manager CIP Project Engineering staff Project Team. Public Works Parks and Recreation Community Development Alternatives 1. Deny the Project. Hockey play would continue as it is in the existing and declining rink. 2. Change the Scope of the Project. There are some separate items within this request. Fencing could remain in its current condition for several more years saving approximately $25,000, but new fencing would be needed in the expanded area. The rink, if expanded could make do with existing lighting, as night activity is largely practice but there could be safety issues. This would provide a savings or approximately $20,000. The remaining costs relate directly to the enlargement of the slab. 3. Another alternative is to replacing fencing and refinish the court leaving it at the current size. This would be a cost of approximately $55,000 with design and inspection handled in house. The rink would remain smaller than regulation size with a fence and board system in decline. Operating Program Parks and Recreation(60100) Project Effect on the Operating Budget Project Implementation CIP Engineering 60 hours Parks and Recreation 20 hours Community Development 3 hours Facility Operation These facilities already exist and are largely maintained by volunteers.

Beights appreciates the concept of the trail and its alue in our community however in a more protected environment. Feels a location similar Emerson Park would be more appropriate for this program and recommended focusing o cepting the much needed fitness trail proposal specifically at Meadow Park instead. Mr. London stated they would welcome the idea of Emerson ark as an alternative and Commissioners discussed further with Parks Maintenance Supe ' r Beights. Commissioner Havas asked of the possibility of embeddin number in the ground that would be flat, for example, corresponding to a number on a broch or online which would then explain the activity as opposed to signage and posts. Also in d about other Counties involved in project and who they could contact to hear their evaluati s. Commissioner Regier discussed with Direc Kiser the process of removal if the program did not work but was accepted on a permanent er than trial basis. (Would be dealt with by staff-donor would be contacted of removal and see if signs could be reused elsewhere.) MOTION: (Hatch/May) ccept the donation upon meeting approval of Parks Maintenance and Parks and Recreatio o determine best park location for the program as to what will be most beneficial to the mmunity and cause the least maintenance issues. (And amended to include) And upon rec 'pt of installation upkeep plan by donor submitted to staff to review adequate and addresses ds first. pproved: 7 yes: 0 no: 0 absent 4. Skatepark Needs Assessment- Kiser Director Kiser gave the Commissioners the background report and on the Skate Park and the Needs Study. Mr. Mike Sherrod of RRM Design then gave a PowerPoint presentation detailing results of the Needs Assessment Study and brief history of the Skate Park. Council identified as a major City goal and funded needs assessment to identify equipment, minimum/maximum sizes, terrain preferences, current and future events and budget ranges. Mr. Sherrod explained input from two public workshops that followed. In the first workshop the in-ground design was preferred by skateboarders to pre-cast and modular. Other aspects such as size range, events, design elements and availability were discussed at the workshops. There was an even split of votes between all of the terrain types. A skate park between 8,000 and 18,500 square feet was determined to be needed from the results of the assessment. Size range was determined by carrying capacity of the park. Cost estimate is for an 8,000 sq. ft. park is $533,250 whereas an 18,500 square foot park would be $1,267,950. With the skate park being one aspect of Santa Rosa, ideas to shape the park were also discussed 1 -4 D IN W F U ATTACHMENT Z/ Parks and Recreation Commission May 7, 2008 Page 5 of 9 such as seating, showcasing areas to host ceremonies and events, lighting for evening skateboarding and extending hours of operation, different interest groups, and looking at design of park to see if matches staff ideas on use. Mr. Sherrod thanked the skateboarders for addressing their needs in the workshops. Commissioners discussed with Director Kiser and Mr. Sherrod current hours of operation and less obtrusiveness of current lighting technology to reduce "light pollution", reflective surface of in-ground material, the sewer line crossing the park and RRM as being able to design around those areas, noise being minimized by putting "bowls" closer to buildings, the choice of using current location of park as being already accepted by the surrounding neighborhood, proximity of 30' from fence for 18,500 sq. ft. design, height of fence being no more than waist high, and how other municipalities police their parks or put in creative fencing or turnstiles. Also discussed was positive sharing of facility with roller hockey and accommodating competitions. Director Kiser reinforced that neighbors would be invited if Master Plan amended.. Chair Lemieux then opened up Public Comment:. Pam Horton, 1264 Saratoga Avenue, expressed that their family searches specifically for skate parks to visit when they go out of town. Feels "if we build it, they will come" and that a new skate park would increase revenue to the City. Derrick Connahan, 1341 Osos Street, thanked the Commissioners and Mike Sherrod and stated if approved the plan for a new skate park he would be happy to get them a skateboard. Tom Brubaker, 709 Mustang Circle, has been out of the country for a year and appreciates work RRM has done. Feels if Skate Park is done right will be beneficial for everyone: could attract such things as video of tour of skate parks that has been made, the Monster Skate park series events, and will ultimately help fund itself as an income-generating facility. Feels the town is losing its "draw" and this would be an inviting feature. Johnny Miller, 635 Conner Way, thanked Mr. Sherrod for his work and stated as a 44-year old professional skateboard racer feels the community will benefit from having a facility unique to the Central Coast. Potential would exist to bring in revenue from events. Cameron McCheny, 287 Del Mar Court, a Cal Poly student here two years and with Central Coast Skateboards, shocked at how poor the skate park was when first moved here knowing the rich history of surfers and skateboarders. Discouraged to skate under those conditions. Also when sees gate closed at Spm has no other choice but to go to Los Osos or Cayucos parks but this is not an option for 15 year olds who can't drive. Feels a new skate park would keep kids off the streets and encourage happier and healthier lives and better accommodate Central Coast lifestyle. Chair Lemieux confirmed that Cal Poly does not have a skateboard club. Mikey Gaumann, Arroyo Grande, supports the skate park and commented on Grover Beach street skateboarding issues. Feels new skate park would solve the problem of kids skating on streets because there would no longer be a need to. Commended RRM's designs. 1 -5 Parks and Recreation Commission May 7, 2008 Page 6 of 9 Daniel Parks,420 Woodbridge Street, lifetime skateboarder and teacher, feels skateboarding is a great outlet for those not accepted in other areas of sports or who don't care to play on teams. As a culture it incorporates artwork as well. Current Skate Park is like "skating on garbage" but still crowded by users. Feels the community deserves a better skate park. End of Public Comment.

I hope I am one of the first to heartily encourage this endeavour. I have two sons with whom I share a passion for skateboarding. As you will probably be made aware, skateboarding is enjoying a resurgance in popularity. Skateboarding is not just grinding and flipping. There is much art and athletecism to the sport In addition to downhill racing and slalom, park skating is a tremendous family adventure. Did you know that the world slalom championships were held a few years ago in Morro Bay? Did you know that the US National Slalom Championships will he held this July in Morro Bay? The Central Coast of California is becomming a hotbed of this new sport. Even though I live in Paso, I routinely take my boys and their friends and my wife to SLO for a day of skating followed by SHOPPING,EATING, and MOVIE WATCHING. We drop a huge amount of dollars in to the SLO economy that you would not get if we were not skating. We would do more if there were a pro grade park. That is a fact. Skating in not just for the stereotypical punk kids. Even though I hate that*description. "Middle Aged" folk like myself are getting into the game again with our kids and spend a tremendous amount of disposable income on this sport. We routinely travel all over the place to skate. In two local events I attended this past winter and Spring, I rubbed elbows with people from Arizona,Northern California, Southern California and Colorado. One of the guys had just gotten back from Brazil where he competed. Again, I cannot encourage you strongly enough to move ahead with this proposal. A professional grade skate park will not only look good for the city, not only give a very positive outlet for the kids(of all ages), but I am absolutely certain it will bring MONEY in to the city. Unfortunately I have to work the evening of May 20, or I would be at your city council meeting personally. Please feel free to contact me with any and all questions.

This community in a sense competes with other communities in attracting families to our residential neighborhoods. Good schools, safe neighborhoods, cultural activities, and recreation actives are all part of the decision making process. The addition of an in-ground concrete skate park will be one of amenities that this community will be able to offer to current families and those families looking to move into our community. I would recommend that the Council continue to move forward with the creation of an in-ground park. I would also recommend that before spending any money on additional studies you look at using existing plans for built parks. I know the skate park in Solvang is very nice and copying and existing park with already designed plans would be a less costly alternative and would still create a park that would be unique to the surrounding cities. Second, I've discussed with Betsy Kiser the above ground skate park that is currently in place at Prairie City OHV park in Sacramento that has never been used. It looks to be in perfect condition and there may be an opportunity to purchase their above ground skate park and move it here as interim solution. Thank you for your consideration.

I think this facility is a great addition to our community, as it gives youngsters a safe and protected environment in which to practice their skateboarding skills. Any work undertaken to improve the park is money well-spent, as it provides kids with a place of their own to hang out and have fun. I also understand part of the proposal is to provide funds to improve the park by replacing its wood components with safer, more durable plastic and concrete materials. I believe this would be a prudent use of city resources, as the wood ramps and boxes suffer significant wear-and-tear, both from the impact of the skateboarders doing their tricks and from SLOB extreme day-to-night temperature fluctuations weather. Wood ramps deteriorate rapidly and can sometimes pose a hazard to the kids who ride them. Concrete ramps are much more durable and will, in the long-run, present a cost savings because of their low-maintenance requirements. Thanks for taking the time to consider making these much needed improvements to a valuable community recreation facility. I encourage you to use every resource available to make the Santa Rosa Skate Park a safe and enjoyable place for the all city's skateboarding enthusiasts.

Council and Parks & Recs, San Luis Obispo has a thriving skateboarding scene. However, at this time the city lacks a world class skatepark. It is my hope and the hope of many others that the city will recognize the needs of this dynamic and positive pastime. The construction of the concrete skatepark in Los Osos (a destination park that attracts many California skateboarders) is a step in the right direction. However, it can hardly satisfy SLO County's broader need for safe and legal places for children to ride their skateboards. With childhood obesity on a well documented rise in this country and the fact that in 2006, 40 of the 42 skateboard related fatalities happened in the streets, a skatepark is an absolute necessity for San Luis Obispo's idyllic skate climate. The sport of skateboarding provides both physical and mental challenges, builds self esteem and acts as a deterrent of risky behaviors in our youth. For the sake of safety and furthering SLO's skating reputation, I urge you to give the strongest consideration to a carefully designed and skillfully built concrete skatepark. I would also recommend you read and share the Public skatepark Development Guide, http: www.skatepark.org/public-skatepark-development-quide.htmi it is now available online and is an excellent resource for any city thinking of building a public skatepark.

It would be a positive contribution to this city and if property built,will bring skateboarders and their families from all over the state, resulting in an additional boost to the local economy. Skateboarding is no longer simply a "fad". With approximately 11 million,yes MILLION, participants,skateboarding is now a$5.5 Billion industry that reaches all comers of the Earth.These statistics come from the IASC(International Association of Skateboard Companies). No less,the IASC is currently working with the International Olympic Committee(IOC)to have skateboarding be a demonstration sport at the next Summer Olympics. The current skatepark is not a safe place to skate. I am not comfortable having my kids(ages 5 and 8)skate there with the limited amount of space and the hazardous skating surface. Skateparks are part of over 2500 communities in the United States.They area great place for kids to practice the sport they love in a setting that encourages improvement and Inspiration. Please make a decision that will benefit kids for years to come.

Please read. Attachments: Dear San Luis Obispo City Council. Ms. Mullholland, Mr. Romero,Mr. Brown, Mr. Carter,and Mr.Settle, My name is Cat Young&I live In Mann County,California. I am 49 years old&have been skateboarding almost my whole life. I grew up in Casper Wyoming&back then,kids played OUTSIDE! My father used to follow me down Casper mountain road in the car while I carved turns on my Bahne fiberglass skateboard. He would drive me back up the hill so I could do it again....over&over&over. I can honestly say that he enjoyed watching me carve turns down the mountain road. I'm sorry to say,this was about the only thing my dad&I ever did together. I was lucky to have bonded with him through skating&to be able to spend this quality time with him. I wish Casper would have had a skate park back then. My dad would have enjoyed watching me do that also! I still visit my dad in Casper every summer..... he is now 81 years young and still follows me down the same mountain road he did 35 years ago! He also still comes outside looking for me at night to tell me to get inside.... he still yells,"it's too dark to be skating,Catherine Ann!!!" Can you imagine........ I'm 49 years old,for gosh sake!!!!!! I know it brings us both back to those days In the 70's. I am here to support my friend,Jonny Miller,&the whole skating community of San Luis Obispo. And, I am here to SCREAM, 'There is most definitely a need for a skate park In your town." I actually skated my first park last weekend in San Jose. http://www.siparks.org/Skateboard/index.asp The park has strict rules..... helmet&FULL pads for EVERYONE! This rule IS enforced,as it should be. Up to that point,I was happy running cones....... I am currently ranked 3rd in the world,for the season, in women's slalom skateboarding. I had always watched from the sidelines as kids&adults skated in the parks..... until I went to the new San Jose park. A friend of mine gave me a park board to try that day. I can't tell you how much fun I had! The youngest skater that day was 4 years old,the oldest had to have been 70! The really cool thing about that day were the parents&grandparents actually spending time&HAVING FUN with their kids. They weren't at home playing video games,they were outside playing&getting exercise! I remember this grandfather yelling, 'That was totally rad!"to his grandson! This man had to have been 65 years old! Can you imagine a 65 year old man yelling RAD????? It was priceless! Another one of my good friends,Judi Oyama,was instrumental in getting the new skate park in Santa Cruz opened. httpJJwww.ciaanta-cruz.ca.us/pr(parksrec arksLskategark.html She is also a.skate mom&has been a competitive slalom&park skateboarder since the 1970's. She runs very successful clinics for the parks&rec department. I helped with an earlier clinic of hers,and actually saw a mother of one of the children cry when she saw her son skating.. The pride these parents feel is really something to watch. It brings me back to my own childhood! Getting back to my friend,Jonny Miller...... he is a resident of San Luis Obispo&puts together,with the help of a large skating community there called CCMF, many, many skate events for kids AND adults.CCMF stands for Central Coast Mothers Favorites. He uses his own money to put on races&clinics to get kids excited about skateboarding!Jonny has 3 daughters of his own,and they skate as family. I wish I could be at the City Council meeting to show you how absolutely passionate I am about the skate park. I am all for families playing together instead of going their own separate ways all the time. The kids NEED a place to go,to be kids,to have fun. Fun is what it's all about. Please,please consider building a skate park in your town. Not only will it bring in revenue for your city, it will do a lot for promoting exercise&health&family togetherness: https://mail.slocity.org/exchange/slocityr,ounciVInbox/SLO%2OSkate%2OPark.%20Please... 5/19/2008 ,_;• � � Page 2 of 2 Let's get the kids off the couch,get them outside skating in a protected environment.

I have attended and covered many skate events in the area and am in love with the town,culture and terrain that your city embodies.The skating culture there is fresh and vibrant and ready for a world class park. Adding a large skate park will do nothing more than improve the local economy,give young kids an outlet for positive activity and help the current active culture of skating grow even more.The members of the group hoping to create this skate park are proper stewards for the task and have nothing more than the best intentions to help create something for the community that will continue to give back. It has been shown in many studies that building large skate parks enliven the economy in many ways. Drawing in skater tourists who will travel the distance to skate an epic park such as the one planned. Local businesses will benefit from the influx of visitors by increased revenue and customer loyalty based on the already famous laid back and welcoming mood of the town. Shop owners, restaurants, hotels,art galleries,and even antique and furniture shops will see increased attendance with the flow of customers visiting the area due to the skate shop. ]onny Miller and the other members of the proposal group are highly qualified not only to plan and execute the park but to help interface with the community as well..I have covered no less than five events they have put on and they always provide a highly planned,well executed,safe and above all very professional event.

I am a Cal Poly student who skated throughout high school, but was forced to nearly abandon the sport when I moved here because of the lack of proper facilities.The Santa Rosa skate park is in horrendous condition and appears dangerous in many sections.A new,concrete skate park would be durable and safe(no splinters, road rash). Please don't let this opportunity slip by the wonderful city of San Luis Obispo. Sincerely, Jeffrey Freeman Get Free(PRODUCJ7 RED"Emoticons,Winks and Display Pia.

I AM A 35 YEAR OLD AND I STILL SKATEBOARD. I HAVE 2 KIDS WHO ARE LEARNING TO SKATEBOARD. ALTHOUGH SOME CONSIDER SKATEBOARDING A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY, IT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE JOYS OF MY LIFE. I AM PROUD TO PASS ON THE ACTIVITY TO MY CHILDREN. I PREFER TO HAVE MY CHILDREN IN A PARK ENVIRONMENT VERSUS TRESPASSING ON PUBLIC AND/OR PRIVATE PROPERTY. I BELIEVE THAT AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC IS THE BIGGEST DANGER IN SKATEBOARDING. THE PARK WILL HELP KEEP THE KIDS OFF THE STREETS AND IN A SAFER ENVIRONMENT. THIS SKATE PARK IS ESPECIALLY ESSENTIAL IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT SKATEBOARDING IS PROHIBITED IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. AS A TAXPAYER IN THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO,I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO THINK OF MY "CONTRIBUTIONS" GOING TO A SKATE PARK VERSUS A SENIOR CENTER PARKING LOT IN THE BEAUTIFUL MITCHEL PARK. I BELIEVE THE SKATE PARK WILL CONTRIBUTE MUCH MORE UTILITY TO THE CITY OF SAN LUIS VERSUS AN IMPROVEMENT TO A STRUCTURE THAT NEEDS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN IMPROVEMENTS TO MAKE IT ADA COMPATIBLE. THE IMPROVED SKATE PARK WILL SERVE GENERATIONS TO COME, WITH MY ONLY COMPLAINT BEING IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE YEARS AGO. I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT.

Just wanted to put in my 2 cents on the fate of a new concrete skate park in santa rosa park. San Luis Obispo desperately needs this. Every year we as a city rank right up there as one of the best places in califomia to live. SLO was recently voted as 1 of the top 5 universities to attend in a poll via Surfer Magazine. Remember, skateboarding came to be as "sidewalk.surfing". As one of the best. places for all of us to live, and attend college, SLO has one of the, if not the most delapidated skateparks of any of its' competitor cities. Skateboarding is a main stream sport these days,just like baseball and basketball. It's not just for kids. I'm 35, I skate with people who are 10 and with people who are 45+ years old, and everywhere in between, as well as beyond. It is a great way to get the heart rate going, experience the outdoors and meet new people. A new and improved concrete skate park in santa rosa park WILL be used. I can't stress that enough. Take a look how the current one gets used, and it's in down right dangerous condition. I hope to make the meeting on tuesday, but just in case, here's the email. short and sweet.....:) Thanks for the time!

Pve been active in the sport of Skateboarding since 1958. Over the years skateboarding has been good to me as well as millions of others around the world.Today there are more kids skateboarding than playing in organized Little League Baseball.That being the case, it makes good sense that a skatepark in San Luis Obispo be built. It would be one of the finishing touches on a beautiful city such as SLO. I have visited SLO over the past 4 years to attend numerous Skateboarding events and stayed in your hotels and always look forward to coming back. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

I am a longtime member of the skate community. I have been selling skateboards for over 20 years. I currently represent some of the top brands in the industry as a sales representative and manufacturer. I promise you that a legitimate park will bring revenue and notoriety to our SLO. I also assure you that liability and maintenance costs will be reduced. It's time. I hope you will look at surrounding communities and see the facilities that have sprung up. These same facilities are drawing away our recreating.youth and our revenue. Bring a legit skate park to SLO. Think of how many businesses will benefit!

I have lived and worked in San Luis Obispo County since 1986 and own a home in Los Osos. Prior to Los Osos I lived in Mono Bay. My six year old son and myself have enjoyed the skate parks in Los Osos, Paso, Templeton, Atascadero, Grover, Santa Maria for the last two years. We use the Los Osos skate faclilty at least 3 times per week. It is a sport/activity that both old and young can enjoy in a safe environment. My son and I have become even closer through skating, as I have seen in many families. In his Kindergarten class at Baywood Elementary there are at least 6-7 boys whom skate there regularly, and half the fathers as well. I have taught martial arts for the Morro Bay Community Center for 11 years, and have personally seen the difference that comes from a child/teen finding their niche and growing emotionally,physically, and spiritually. If kids/teens are skating in a controlled, safe environment they are not getting in trouble. And by creating/updating the San Luis Obispo Skate Park you would be offering many children and parents in San Luis Obispo a safe and fun place to skate instead of having to drive to Osos, A-Town, or Grover. It would also keep people from skating in places where they are not welcome, and will keep children from being injured by skating unsafe places. San Luis Obispo has the prettiest downtown, I would imagine that largest tax revenue, and the most children who would use a new skate park. But, SLO has the most run down park in the county. Lets fiat that! Thank you.

First, A renovated park will draw more Teens and help keep them off the Streets. Second,This will help generate Business from skaters and Families using the Park.The Families will want to quinch their thirst and eat in the area frequenting Local Businesses. Third,this will be an additional draw to the area from other Communities and adding to the Business generated,the fees collected and the tax base. Please help keep this area and the Teens going through the Future.Give Teens an activity and they will benifit Physically and Mentally. Thank you,former SLO,College student.

I will be very brief and say that it is time the community of slo to evolve and provide.a responsible place where kids can skate FOR FREE AND AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION. i have been skating for eleven years now and traveled to many skateparks across america that are open, lit,and unsuperivised 24/7. I have certainly paid my dues,totaling$450, in skate tickets just trying to get to class, but well-designed skateparks are expensive. Toady, 50%or more of the cost will be labor,but i guarantee that almost every kid that skates will volunteer to help get this thing built.as for lighting, be the first town to have a solar powered skatepark. i know a community such as ours has the resources and ability to add a piece of-sculpture to the park landscape that will actually help create culture rather than pose a threat to it. certain people are probably worried about concrete ramps destroying the beautiful park, but this is actually an incredible design opportunity. an associate of mine at school designed and spear-headed the construction of a skatepark in his hometown using software we learned to use at poly. if you consider constructing skate ramps,i could easily put together a physical/landscape design team that would volunteer its time and provide design options for the council to review. please consider transforming the dilapidated wood ramps at santa rosa park into a concrete paradise the youth of slo can enjoy and congregate around. thank you. nathan mendetsohn nsmendetsohn@yahoo.com https://mail.slocity.org/exchange/slocitycounciVInbox/slo%20skatepark.EML?Cmd=open 5/16/2008
