COMMITTEE BUSINESS
1. Ronald J. Parks Community Recreation Center and Eagle Soar Splash Pads Update—Staff shared
updates on the maintenance issues occurring at both the Ronald J. Parks Community Recreation
Center and Eagle Soar Splash Pads.To address the issues at the CRC Splash Pad,it would require
a longer closure, so staff suggested waiting until school resumes to initiate the closure.
Addressing issues at the Eagle Soar Splash Pad would require a complete tank replacement and
staff are currently waiting on proposals to assess the costs and compare quotes. It was suggested
that the Splash Pads item be discussed at the upcoming CIP Workshop in September.
Subcommittee was in favor of this suggestion.
2. Discussion of Public/Private Partnerships to Build Trails at Ronald Reagan Sports Park (at the
Request of Council Member Schwank)—At the request of Council Member Schwank,there was
discussion about forming a group with representatives from City departments and members of
the public to build trails at Ronald Reagan Sports Park. We received two comments from the
public,including the owner of Old Town Bicycle Co and a member of the Great Oak High School
Mountain Bike Team. Both individuals were excited about the prospect of participating as a trail
builder. Subcommittee recommended the next steps should be to put together a group, identify
the scope and expectations, and proceed from there. Staff will report back at a later date.
3. Discussion of Extended Hours at Redhawk Dog Park—A group of residents previously reached
out to the City requesting the gates at Redhawk Dog Park be opened earlier, starting at 5:00 AM
during the warmer months to allow access to the park, rather than the current opening time of
8:00 AM. There was discussion about leaving the gates unlocked for a trial period, so residents
have earlier access to the park, and to not impact staff. Subcommittee recommended that this
topic be brought to the full Council for consideration and notifying the HOA of the outcome.
4. Discussion of Use of Pickleball Courts at Michael "Mike" Naggar Community Park — Staff
shared that the pickleball courts at Michael "Mike" Naggar Community Park are still being
utilized, even with the opening of the Temecula Pickleball Complex at Ronald Reagan Sports
Park. The possibility of adding four more dedicated pickleball courts at MNCP was discussed
and it was suggested that this item also be discussed at the CIP Workshop. Subcommittee was
supportive.
5. Review Updated Sponsorship Policy—Staff shared that they have been in the process of revising
the corporate sponsorship policy that was originally created in 2013. Subcommittee was
supportive of revising the policy, allowing more opportunities for partnership with local
businesses. Staff will provide a summary of the changes made to the sponsorship policy and
report back to Subcommittee at the next meeting.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 AM.
