CIW OF SAN BERNARDOo - REQULJT FOR COUNCIL AC:)oN RECOMMENDATION FROM PARK AND RECREATION Cor~MISSION RELEVANT TO THE USE OF STAFF REPORT SECCOMBE LAKE PARK PROPERTY BY THE YWCA FOR THE TEDDY BEAR TYMES CHILD CARE CENTER. The Mayor and Common Council referred the Teddy Bear Tymes request for additional playground and facility space at Seccombe Lake Park adjacent to the YWCA to the Park and Recreation Commission. The Commission held two (2) Special Meetings on August 27 and September 3, 1987 to hear the pros and cons of the request. The Commission asked the Parks, Recreation and Community Services staff to meet with the Teddy Bear Tymes staff to develop a proposal for use of the park property. That proposal was presented at the September 3rd r~eeting with the following recommendation being made by the Commission: "...That the Mayor and Common Council accept the proposal with conditions outlined for expansion of the child care play area for use by the Teddy Bear Tymes." Attachment number 1 is a copy of the proposal and conditions for review and action as deemed appropriate by the Mayor and Common Council. The Park and Recreation Commission did not make a recommendation concerning the use of building space. After discussions during the Meeting on August 27, 1987, the Commissioners agreed that the expansion of the playground and the use of building space were issues which needed to be dealt with separately. The building space issue should be discussed at a regular commission meeting when there is more time to collect information pro and con. The Operating Agreement, as Amended by Amendment Number Four, states that either the City or the State may not let or sublet with respect to the use and occupancy of Seccombe Lake Park property or any portions of said property without the written consent of the other. Attachment number 2 is a letter from Assemblyman Jerry Eaves with a letter from State Parks and Recreation Director Henry R. Agonia in which the State has essentially given their consent for expanding the playground area. Attachment number 3 is a sketch of the area needed for expansion of the play- ground. The area is approximately 30' x 156' on the south end of the YWCA building and 105' x 12' on the west side of the present YWCA playground area. Attachment number 4 is a drawing showing the intended improvements proposed by Teddy Bear Tymes for the playground area which includes adding a wrought iron fence and landscaping inside the fenced playground. Teddy Bear Tymes will also install a wrought iron gate with handicapped pedestrian access in the walkway entrance to the park adjacent to the playground area. This Department staff is amendable to the request to expand the play area. The park area in question is presently only used as a landscaped area for esthetic value. The improvements proposed by Teddy Bear Tymes will not only improve the appearance of the YWCA property but will also add to the esthetics of the park in that area. September 10, 1987 15.0264 . c -. .,-, "''''\ V :J TEDDY BEAR TYMES PLAYGROUND EXPANSION PROPOSAL As a result of a meeting between representatives of the Teddy Bear Tymes Child Care Center and the City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, the proposal to allow the expension of the Teddy Bear Tymes playground area at the YWCA is endorsed by this Department contingent upon the conditions listed below. Implementation of this arrange- ment will take place through the leasing of the specified area, approximately 5,000 square feet, to the City Redevelopment Authority who would in turn include the property as part of its arrangement with the YWCA. The YWCA would then be required to lease the land to Teddy Bear Tymes for development. It should be noted that this endorsement is exclusive to the playground area and in no way is to be construed to be associated with the proposal for building space.

EPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION 0 ~;:~:(~~~;~58 i '0JY UUL 2 8 19B1' JUL 3 0 /987 Honorable Jerry EaveS Member of the Assembly State Capitol, Room 4121 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Assemblyman Eaves: The proposal for the use of Seccombe Lake State Urban Recreational Area for child care activities was discussed with Les McCargo after having reviewed the material provided. The proposal for use of the playground area would not seem to be in conflict with the proposed park. I am sure you are aware that at one time there was a "tot lot" proposal in the near vicinity. It would seem that the playground area could serve the child care center and, likewise. during after hours serve the community. Additionally, the portion of the building that would serve for classroom space during the daytime might also serve for recreational opportunities for the community after child care hours. With the addition of the child care center, this park would continue to serve its purpose as an urban recreational area, perhaps even expanding the opportunity for multiple use. Thanks for your continued concern in the State Park System and the opportunity to review the proposal.
