A$ No. 420 Dater April 30, 1971
City Manager's Recommendation
If the City Council elects to place the Park and Open Space Bond Issue
on•the ballot and the measure is approved by the electorate, this build-
ing is slated for demolition. This is an unbudgeted expenditure and will
cost -from $710 to $2;360, plus labor. *While I concur this is an ugly
building, I would prefer to expend funds on a more permanent solution to
the problem or to devote this expenditure to -permanent plantings in Max -
ton Brown or Laguna Riviera Parks, or landscaping El Camino Real. If it
is'decided to.proceed, I recommend the three alternate solutions.in order
from least costly to the most expensive.
5-12-71 This office is currently investigating the feasibility of using the
Greenwood property for interim Parks and Recreation Dept. office space
and relocating the heavy equipment to the City yard. Space could be made
available to Parks Dept. for heavy equipment storage at the yard by dis-
posing of some of our "war surplus" items now stored at the yard. If this
proves to be a practical undertaking and if the City Council approves same,
it will be possible to clear the present park operations site sooner for
incorporation into Holiday Park.
Council Action
5-4-71 Vice Mayor McComas requested this matter be held over to the
next regular Council meeting.
5-18-71 Concurred with recommendations of City Manager. dated 5-12-71
(as above) and authorization was given the City Manager to
implement plan.

CAMOUFLAGE OF EQUIPMENT YARD ON EUREKA PLACE
The Park headquarters house and front fence could be painted
for about One Hundred and Ten Dollars ($110); plus labor.
To hide the yard, which has one hundred and eighty (180) feet
of chain link wire fence, it would require thirty 15-gallon
plants to partially conceal the equipment from the outside.
If used, these plants would be more secure if they were planted
in the ground. Cost -------------------------------- $600
If complete camouflage is desired, this could be accomplished
by acquiring an additional thirty 24--inch boxed plants (Quercus
Ilex) at $75.00 each. These coule be used in other City prop-
erties when the Eureka Place equipment yard is moved to another
location. Cost ------------------------------------ $2250
Another choice, although not instantaneous, would be much more
economical. This would be the purchase and planting of a fast-
growing five -gallon size plant on three sides of the yard.
Cost -------------------------- Approx. $100
Tar, was not included in the above cost figures
