Not only does the Provision attractive adequate arks, e, th °Qelsamsnitiesnalioo inareaee property values. The anticipated revenue batted on 33,000 parcels will generate approximately $1,155,0001 hall going to tho County and half to the City. Thus, the approximate $600,000 revenue to the City annually from the District assessment will not meet all of our acquisition, development, oparating„ and maintenance needs. (NOTE: To put this $doo,000. into percpective , jt can fund operations and maintenance of SO acres of park per year or build three park restrcoms per year.) However, this additional revenue could became part of our overall financial strategy. Elements of a comprehensive fund!ny program normally consist of State and raderal Grants, user and development impact fees (Quimby), landscape and lighting district asessaments, general obligation or revenue bonds, and other City or District revenue sources. The assessment C031ected tarongh the District is not envisioned to provide funding for all our park, recreation, open space and trails needs. The $36.00 annual assessment per parcel cnn partially fund County and City capital improvements as well as operations and maintenanco (o i H). (The Countyls proposed Memorandum of Understanding (N.o.D,) explains that only 50% of the assessment revenue can be used for 0 i H the first five years.)

Gerry Newcombe San Bernardino County Regional Packs District Steve Messerti San Bernardinu County Department of Infrasiructure Ad Hoc Committee Relating to Formation of Park b. Open Space District FROM: Bernie Walla SUBJECT', Update Surrey of Public Opinion Regarding F.umation of Park i Open Space District Attached is a summary of observations from the survey Completed test week. Is objective was an update of observations of public opinion made in July 1990. Since the July 1990 march - - which indicated a willingness to form a district and Incur a parcel tax -- Kuwait Invaded Iraq, the national economy began to weaken, and California voters rejected a long list of spending measures on the November statewide ballot. Some observers were startled by the election results. Might the world developments of late 1990 have rendered the July march out of date? The data below would suggest little change in public sentiment, if any. We believe the most important attractions that a potential district has for San Bernardino County residents persist. The survey involved Interviews of 606 randomly selected active voters throughout the currently contemplated nbtrict bouadaries. The confidence interval Vmatgin of error') for obsenxtions from a sample of 606 is :4.0 percentage points. However, two versions of this survey questionnaire were employed, for purposes of exploring reactions to two different annual utation rates (S29 and $36). The confidence interval for each subset of 303 respondents Is 26.6 percentage points. This poll is an indication of voter dlsposlGon to support the formation and funding of a district for certain purposes, provided the right information is put loco their hands, and provided sty rnisinformatios is effectively countered. Actual voter support for a measure of this type will depend on th t Competence of an election campaign yet to be waged. Now One Important scmp3e characteristic distinguishes this study from the July research. Fret, while the tatter drew its sa.nple from the current list of all registered voters, the December research sampled only voters who had voted in at least one of the last two County elections (November 1987 or November 1989). Thb modification was made In order to ensure that our opinions were being gathered from the set of most active voters, those most likely to participate in an election on a local issue such at contemplated here. rI t Sae Banerllse Caesty RAbul 7aska Frpuerecks D"ember 1910 YIA ce*arlaon, w.«. aaoalbta, to My 1"a raaaonh Bernard Wale a bUe4a1 Mn..a IS D9 RI P. 1.

Research wan conducted by Community Services Staff Oh Tutura trends in recreation programming that enabled the group to brainstorm the demands of a future older mature community i.e., senior day care facilities are designed in tha community center. In March /April 1990 the various groups concluded their task Of what programming dements nhould be planned for within each facility. Shortly thereafter, the design team and staff wore agendized on the Planning Commission calendar to achieve an architectural vocabulary and address their concerns relative to architectural character of the cultural center (formally known as the Omni Center portion of Central Park. In addition, the Park and Recreation commission was updated monthly on progroea development of Central Park becauoe of their fiduciary duty to oversee rapid design development of this 100 acre sits that was driven by a library grant application deadline of June 1990, later extended to 1991. All efforts to quickly achieve a consensus of architectural style was motivated by the library grant application deadline. In December 1990, the Planning Commission agreed on the architectural character style that will now allow the library grant to be submitted and drive the architectural design character of all facilities within the cultural portion of Central Park. The model of Central Park will be displayed Wednesday evening. I! City Council approves the building design as presented Wednesday evening; than as a follow up to the joint meeting of the City Council and the Park and Recreation Commission on October 24, 1990, staff has ")reparad a conceptual schedule of inform Rancho Cucamonga about �the 9Central Park b Project and ;then Library facility. In connection with this, Staff also suggests that a Community Task Force be created to gain a bx.ad based r servce needs for Rdncho that could ibe i eluded as pa ti of the Proposed Library Hooter Plan. _S� CENTRAL PARR January 9, 1991 Pago 3 Staff understanding of the directio;, at the October 24, 1990 Joint Park and Recreation Commission and City Council meeting was that the Council would like to inform the puWc of the site design work and fdcilities so as to alitlneie any misunderstandings and misinformation that people may recaive about the park. In that effort, staff proposes the foll.,wing schedule be pursued once the City Council accepts tba design plan for the Central Park Project. 1. Staff and consultants meet with the Library design subcommittee to review the floor plane fcr the library facility. This meeting wi:l include review of the apace planning and design concepts of the interiors to insure that the consultants have remained consistent with the subcommittees direction, 2. Staff and the consultants nest with the visions Central Pa -k subcommittees as one large group se) that a comprehensive understanding of the park and its facilities can be reviewed. Staff and consultants meet with the neighborhoods surroL-idieg the Central Park Project; to review the ontlrs project. These meetings will prlmarUy include the Victoria and Terra Vista developments. Staff proper %a that there be two neighborhood nentings, one for Terra visa residents and one for victoria residents so that rl a groupu remain informed and thst people have a greater opportunity of ask"ng — jestions in a more informal setting. At ti' nevtings, staff will encourage those ledividua_., involved in the various aubcommittues to attend tc lrnd support and answer neighborhood questions. 4. A community wide meeting will be held to review with the public the Central Park Project. This public meeting will afford a second opportunity for any persons not able to attend the neighborhood meetings. This will allow residents intorested in a specific facility to understand the entire project and the individual relationships. Again, staff will encourage members of the subcommittees to attend to lend support and answer to residents questions.

CONCLflSZON , The physical, cultural, social nad educational needs that can be mat within Central Park facilities have bean identified by a group process comprised of Council and conaiceion Hembirs, staff, design consultants and community members of Rancho Cucamonga.
