of fields, two on each side.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 28, 2019
The Assistant City Engineer responded in the affirmative.
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked about the choice to utilize cork as infill for the synthetic
turf fields.
The Director of Community Development responded that cork is recommended because
it is an organic material and will mitigate some concerns associated with the heat
generated by synthetic fields.
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked regarding storm water runoff associated with the project.
The Director of Community Development indicated that the project would include a water
quality management plan to ensure that runoff is contained within the project site.
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked about the jurisdiction of Lexington Drive.
The Director of Community Development indicated that the Lexington Drive roadway is
located within the City of Los Alamitos; however, the City has an irrevocable dedication
from the Race Course that will enable us to acquire a portion of the right-of-way and
expand the intersection to allow better traffic flow.
Council Member Morales asked about the hybrid model of the sports park design.
The Director of Community Development explained that the hybrid model incorporates
one field with natural turf and the second with synthetic turf. He stated that the two fields
would be separated by a concrete strip.
Council Member Peat asked regarding the location of the restrooms.
The Director of Community Development indicated that one large restroom building was
included in the design to avoid increased costs for multiple restroom locations.
Council Member Peat asked regarding the lack of snack bar facilities.
The City Manager responded that the design of the sports park includes space for food
trucks in the parking lot rather than a fixed concession stand.
Council Member Peat expressed concern with the lack of snack bar facilities that provide
sports groups the opportunity to generate revenue during their activities.
The City Manager stated that the design is intended to provide a different type of
opportunity for sports groups as food trucks usually pay either a flat fee or a portion of
their sales in exchange for access to the facility/activity.
Council Member Peat indicated that he still has concerns with the lack of concession
stand.
The City Manager indicated that should the food truck model not materialize, concession
facilities could be considered in a later phase of the park.
Council Member Peat asked if water fountains will be provided in the park.
The Director of Community Development responded in the affirmative.
Council Member Peat asked if the public could utilize the fields.
The Director of Recreation and Community Services indicated that the fields would be
open to the public when not being utilized by recreation programming or field rentals.
Council Member Yarc expressed her concern with synthetic turf and asked why synthetic
turf is recommended in the design.
367
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 28, 2019
The Director of Community Development indicated the main reason for the synthetic turf
recommendation is the increased number of hours of play the synthetic turf is available.
The Director of Recreation and Community Services indicated that the City currently
receives more requests for field space than we are able to accommodate. The
recommended synthetic turf would allow for more groups and more time the fields would
be available for use.
Mayor Berry asked if sunshades over the playgrounds would be a possibility.
The Director of Community Development indicated that sunshades are not included in the
design but could be added into final design if so desired by the City Council.
Mayor Berry asked if there is a parking contingency plan for large events at the sports
park.
The Director of Community Development indicated that any large event would be
coordinated through the Recreation and Community Services Department and they have
the ability to require shuttled parking. He further stated that the City has the ability to
temporarily allow parking on Cerritos Ave if necessary.
Mayor Berry asked if the basketball court area could be changed to another use, such as
a pickle ball court.
The Director of Community Development stated that the area could accommodate two
multi -use courts, which could be used for pickle ball, if the City Council desires.
Mayor Berry asked about field markings for the sports park.
The Director of Community Development indicated that a decision would need to be made
in the future about what markings would be made permanently versus which markings
would be made temporarily.
The Director of Recreation and Community Services stated that staff would work with the
Recreation and Community Services Commission to make a recommendation to the City
Council on how to mark the fields.
Council Member Yarc asked if the City Council proceeds with the hybrid model and then
into the future if either the synthetic turf or natural turf are determined to be more desirable
could the less desirable turf type be changed.
The Director of Community Development responded in the affirmative.
It was moved by Council Member Yarc to approve the sports park final preliminary design
with one synthetic turf and one natural turf multi -use fields and adopt a resolution
approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Motion failed for lack of a second.

Item No. 14: Consideration of a Name for the Sports Park at Lexington and Cerritos
The Recreation and Community Services Director provided information on this item.
Council Member Yarc asked if a name was selected and later a naming partner was
identified would the name be incorporated with the name selected by the City Council or
would the park have a new name.
The Recreation and Community Services Director indicated that it would depend on the
negotiated partnership agreement and would need to be approved by the City Council.
Council Member Yarc asked if it was premature to select a name at this time.
The Recreation and Community Services Director replied no. He explained that a naming
partnership would not necessarily change the name chosen by City Council or a partner
might only choose to sponsor a portion of the park rather than the park as a whole.
