The Mayor would then select individuals representative of each catego serve on the Skateboard Committee. During initial discussions of the August 6, 1996 meeting, the Council had discussed the formation of a nine-member committee. However, the Council concluded in proposing i seven-member committee in an effort to minimize the potential for unwieldy committee proceedings. At the August 19, 1996 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission heard public in] and discussed, at length, the Council’s request. As a result of Council direction for the Committee to make recommendations through the Parks and Recreation Commission, i was the general consensus of the Commission that the issue of a skateboard committec could best be facilitated and produce effective results if proceedings were organized si1 to other subcommittees of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Typically, Commissi subcommittees are facilitated by a minimum of two (2) Commissioners who work cooperatively with other committee members and rely on, and direct staff to provide pertinent information. and assistance. Therefore, in an effort to more effectively facilitate the committee and maximize commu input, the Commission unanimously recommended (7-0) that a Skateboard Committee I composed of nine (9) members in the following manner. 3- 1- 1- 1- 1- 2- 3- 1- 1- 1- 1- 2- School aged skateboard riders (at least one of which should be Jr. High School) Professional rider Mother a father of rider(s) Representative of a local business Citizen at Large Members of the Parks and Recreation Commission (with one Alternate)* ‘If the Council concurs with the selection of a nine-member committee, the Commission respectfully recommended (7-0) that Commissioners Julie Baker ar Gary Cox be appointed to serve on the committee with Seth Schulberg as an alternate. 0 0 AB# - /3/ 816) Page 2 As outlined in Resolution No. 96-274, it is the Commission’s understanding that the Committee’s task is to make recommendations regarding the suitable location(s), desigr estimated costs for construction and maintenance of a City-owned skateboard facility. Furthermore, as also outlined in Resolution No. 96-274, based upon information obtainc by City staff from other existing municipal skateboard facilities, and upon the recommendation of the City Attorney, the following guidelines will be placed upon the committee recommendation, they are: 0 The facility will be unsupervised The facility will have “low hazard” props No specific fee will be charged for facility use The facility will be located in a high visibility area The facility will have conspicuously posted signs requiring the mandatory use of safety equipment With the concurrence of Council, the nine (9) member committee will present their findir to the Parks and Recreation Commission.

The committee recommended that staff be explore the feasibility of several sites in Carlsbad for establishment of a low hz facility, At the city Council meeting, however, staff was directed to pursue le diminish the liability exposure to the City, so the site review recommended by the was not conducted. I ~ Now, in response to a request by skateboarders to provide skateboard facilit increasingly popular sport, the Council subcommittee is requesting the Council issue to the Parks and Recreation Commission for its recommendations as to forr member committee to study the feasibility of development of the first City-owned facility in Carlsbad.

EXHlBl , e 0 Agenda Bill No. 13, 70 -7 Page 2 Based upon information obtained from cities which currently have city-owned skate facilities, and the recommendation of the City Attorney on liability issues, the fd guidelines and considerations will be imposed on the committee’s recommendatio skateboard facility will be City-owned, but not supervised by City employees. No SF will be charged, since existing state law provides that a city will lose potential imrr does. Legislative attempts to correct this situation and to specifically add skateboard list of hazardous recre’ational activities continue in Sacramento. It should have only IC props.

Wearing of safety equipmE mandatory while using the facility, and this mandate will be conspicuously posted at ai and vigorously enforced by citations for a violation of a municipal code ordinance whi enacted for that purpose.
