The Building and Construction Trades Council is a major partiC;ipant in the
extensive renovation of the San Bernardino YWCA creating facil,ities for the
Teddy Bear Tyrres Child Care Center. Many hours of planning aI)d labor have
already been donated by union merrbers in the developrent of tl1i.s exciting
project. As you know, Teddy Bear Tyrres was created for the purpose of providing
City/State/County and other parents working or liVing in the downtown San Ber-
nardino area with quality and affordable child care.
It has recently, however, come to our attention that insufficient playground
and classroom space exists for the nurd:ler of children whose parents have
requested enrolL-rent applications fran Teddy Bear Tyrres. In accordance with
State Ccmnunity Care licensing requirerrents, the existing nursery and class-
room space will serve 88 children while the Playground area will serve only
66 children. A 'Naiver for the required playground space was verbally denied
by the State Licens ing Prograrn. Under these cJ.rcLlT\$tances, the Center '..,::.11
or.2.y be able to serve a :nax~mun or 66 children, critically impacting th:.s surely
:1eeded se='lice.
;,-: the June :reeting or the Bw.lding and Cor.struction Trades Council, the :rernber-
s:::.p voted t-:' request the State or Calirorn::.a and the City or San Bernardino
wor:< together i:1 resolving this problem by adopting the following measures.
v
1. Extend the fenced playground into approximately 5,000 square feet
of t~~ surrounding State/City Park area which is currently landscaped
with ground cover and decorative shrubs.
2. Provide Teddy Bear Tyrres with 2,000 square feet or additional class-
room space in the vacant portion of the buildi."'1g imnediately adjace:1:
to the YWCA on the Seccanbe Park site.
Adopti:-:g both or these proposals would increase the capaci:y or Teddy Bear
Tymes fran 66 -:0 110 children. An architectual drawing 0: the propcsed ;Jlay-
ground space is attached. The Technical YWCA/Teddy Bear Tyrres Construc,:ion
Committee has agreed to completely relandscape and fence the proposed play-
ground in accordance with Park requirerrents and the attached conceptual dra"':~;;,
The Ccrmu.ttee would also renovate the 2,000 square reet or the requested class-
rQCX;1 facility.

For your edification. I have also included an expanded narrative of the Project
describing in fuller detail the playground and classroan limitations and our
recommended solutions.
Your assistance in helping resolve this critical space shortage for Teddy Bear
Tymes is urgently requested. I am sure you will agree that helping to serve
the needs or our Comnunity's chl.ldren is one or our foremost mutual goals.

Teddy Bear Tymes, through the Building and Construction Trades Council
has requested additional ground and building space to expand the capacity
of the proposed child care center. This department opposes this expansion.
The department's position on this matter is based on the following:
1. The child care program is a special interest program. The recreational
interests of the general public would not be best served by surrendering
building space and parklands intended for the use and enjoyment of the
general public for a special interest use. Teddy Bear Tymes will be
serving predominantly government employees; the question of special
privilege may also be raised since public property is involved.
2. The proposal will require revisions of the operating agreements with the
State for Seccombe Lake SURA. These revisions could delay cQnstruction
and opening of the remainder of the park by as much as a year. Considera-
tion of any changes in the agreement may also subject them to considerations
of other changes by the State Department of Parks and Recreation. Any
delays will result in the loss of buying power and could reduce the quality
of the new construction.
3. The expanded tot lot would consume 6,771 square feet of highly landscaped
area. To provide the lot the removal of 18 trees, 40 established shrubs
and ground cover would be required. The revision would reduce the park
aesthetics and result in the wasting of an estimated $13,785 of the original
construction costs.
4. The provision of the requested floor space for additional classrooms would
require the surrender of 2,237 square feet of what will be the "Activity
Center" at Seccombe Lake as identified in the Master Plan and the Operating
and Development Agreements. The availability of the only public restrooms
(an additional 280 square feet) would also be lost. The provision of this
space for child care would make the remaining 2,520 square feet virtually
unusable for any other type of function.
This building is intended for use as an "activity center" and will house
a wide range of classes for children and adults sponsored by the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Department. A facility of this type is
badly needed. The programs intended for this facility were also expected to
generate $11,000 for the City to offset some of the costs of operation of
the new Seccombe Lake facilities.
5. The proposed tot lot area currently contains a variety of hardware that
will have to be relocated. This area is a main park entry and accessibility,
aesthetics and user safety may be negatively impacted. Located in the
