Genovese, Acting City Manager CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 93- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE TRAVEL AND EXPENSE POLICY WHEREAS, the City recognizes that attendance at meetings and conferences serves a vital forum for the exchange of ideas and methods in all areas of municipal administration, presenting and receiving information, and advocating legislation of benefit to the City; and WHEREAS, to that end City employees and officials are occasionally required to expend City funds either by requesting City funds in advance , using City issued credit cards, or by spending one's own funds and requesting reimbursement from the City; and WHEREAS, California State Government Code 36514.5 authorizes reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official duties; and WHEREAS, in order to establish uniform guidelines for City officials and designated staff to follow with regard to travel and expense reporting that arises in the course of conducting City business, a Travel and Expense Policy had been developed and adopted by Resolution No. 93-4 at the January 19, 1993 City Council meeting; and WHEREAS, the Travel and Expense Policy has been evaluated and input has been gathered to assist in the evaluation of suggested modifications and recommendations; and WHEREAS, the attached Travel and Expense Policy incorporates such modifications. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, that the attached Travel and Expense Policy be approved. PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of La Quinta, held on this 2nd day of March, 1993, by the following vote, to wit: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: JOHN PENA, Mayor City of La Quinta, California ATTEST: SAUNDRA L. JUHOLA, City Clerk City of La Quinta, California APPROVED AS TO FORM: DAWN HONEYWELL, City Attorney City of La Quinta, California CITY OF LA QUINTA TRAVEL AND EXPENSE POLICY PURPOSE: To establish uniform guidelines for City officials and designated staff to follow with regard to travel and expense reporting that arises in the course of conducting City business. BACKGROUND: The City recognizes that attendance at meetings and conferences serves a vital forum for the exchange of ideas and methods in all areas of municipal administration, presenting and receiving information, and advocating legislation of benefit to the City. The governing factor in authorizing attendance at these functions is the tangible benefit to accrue to the City as a result of such attendance in relation to the overall expense to the City. To that end City employees and officials are occasionally required to expend City funds. This is accomplished either by requesting city funds in advance, city issued credit cards, or by spending one's own funds and requesting reimbursement from the City. Government Code Section 36514.5 authorizes reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official duties. The following policies are intended to cover what should be reasonable expenses of business meetings and travel and the reporting thereof and may not be all inclusive. The reasonableness of any unforeseen situations will be decided upon by the City Manager for staff expenditures and by the City Council for elected and appointed officials expenditures. POLICY: 1. RESPONSIBILITY Authorizing officials have the administrative responsibility to determine the reasonableness of travel costs, as justified by the nature of travel. The intent is to adequately account for reimbursable expenses while each employee or official accomplishes essential City Travel as reasonably as possible. The City Manager shall administer the expenditure of travel funds in accordance with appropriations made by the City Council in the annual adopted budget, with the exception of the appropriations made for City Councilmember's travel. 1 It is the duty of each employee and official to exercise sound and reasonable judgement in the conduct of city travel. Personal and city travel must not be commingled in such a manner as to increase allowable expense or otherwise affect adversely the interest of the City. 2. TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION Official travel by City employees requires prior written authorization by the appropriate approving authority. The City form, "Travel Request and/or Advance", shall be used to document authorization. Travel trips of one -day or less shall not require a pre -approved "Travel Request and/or Advance" if no advance is requested, but the second part of the form covering conference update reporting must be completed, if applicable, upon return. Out-of-state travel, round trips over 300 miles, or trips involving overnight stay must be approved by the City Council. Upon return, the "Conference Update Report" section of the "Travel Request" form must be completed. 3. TRAVEL EXPENSES Employees and officials may provide their own funding and file claims for reimbursement, or may apply for an advance of public funds by utilizing the "Travel Request and/or Advance" form. All requests for advance of travel funds are to be submitted through the approving authority to the Finance Department at least five(5) working days before the intended date of departure. All advances must be properly accounted for upon termination of travel for which the advance was made. Advance payments do not constitute approval to spend the entire amount advanced. 4. ADVANCE RESERVATIONS --CANCELLATION Employees and officials are encouraged to make reservations for any meeting, convention, or dinner for which the City would bear the cost, which he or she is planning to attend, in sufficient time to allow for lower airfare or reservations costs to be obtained. Cancellations that result in expenditure of City funds will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis by the City Manager to determine whether the employee may be held responsible for the cost. The full Council will make that determination for any canceled public official travel. 2 0 5. TRANSPORTATION Individuals requesting official travel should attempt to travel by the means most economical to the City. In selecting a particular method of transportation, consideration shall be given for the total cost to the city which will result; including overtime, lost work, and actual transportation costs. A. Automobile Travel Transportation by car may be done either with a personal vehicle or city vehicle. If a personal vehicle is used, net mileage will be reimbursed at the current city reimbursement rate. Net mileage equals roundtrip mileage minus any commute miles. Those persons using their own vehicle and receiving a monthly auto allowance, will be reimbursed only for the net mileage in excess of 60 miles. In any case, mileage will not be reimbursed for portions of the trip made for non -business related matters. When the use of public air carrier transportation is approved, private automobile use to and from the airport shall be reimbursed for all allowable miles at the city rate. Commercial auto rental will be allowed if necessary and alternative personal or public transportation is unavailable or unreasonable. B. Air Travel Air transportation will be acquired at the most economical fare available from the nearest airport. The advance purchase of airline tickets may be handled via a travel agent or directly through the individual airline. Airport parking is an allowable expense. Ground transportation, such as courtesy shuttle service, buses, taxis, or similar service may be utilized to and from airports. Any costs for such services are reimbursable. 6. LODGING Lodging shall be obtained at the most economical rate available for safe, clean, convenient, and quality accommodations. Factors such as proximity to destination and prevailing rates should be considered for reasonableness. Overnight stay is allowable if one day's travel time is burdensome. Conference headquarters hotels are encouraged as they reduce the costs of other modes of transportation between meetings and conference sites. 3 A. Regular Lodging An employee is expected to make reservations well in advance whenever possible and to take other actions to ensure that lodging is secured at moderate rates. Lodging shall be limited to the minimum number of nights required to conduct the assigned city business. If an employee or official chooses to arrive earlier or stay later than the length of City business, the additional lodging and other expenses related to this decision are the individual's personal expenses. B. Family Member Accompaniment There is no objection to a spouse and/or other family member(s) accompanying an employee or official on a city business trip, provided that their presence does not detract from the performance of city duties. The attendance at the meetings and conferences by such family members of city employees and officials is to be considered a sole expense of the individual employee and/or official, and all differences in costs brought about by the attendance and/or accompanying travel of a family member shall not be borne.by the City. 7. MEALS Meals, except for those included in the cost of the registration, are allowable at actual costs including reasonable tips and room service charges not to exceed $75 per day. Expense claims for meals including people other than the claimant shall include the following information: 1. Date expense incurred 2. Parties participating 3. Purpose of the meeting 8. OTHER ALLOWABLE EXPENSES A. Incidental transportation expenses; such as street car, bus, taxi and ferry fares; bridge, toll road and vehicle parking fees; B. Telephone and facsimile charges for official business; C. Personal telephone calls are allowable, not to exceed $25 per day; D. Fees and tips paid to waiters, porters, baggage handlers, bellhops, hotel maids, and other service personnel; 4 E. Business related entertainment functions that are attended to promote City related business objectives are allowable, as long as detail is provided stating who attended and what subjects were discussed. 9. NON -ALLOWABLE EXPENSES Personal expenses are not allowable. These may include, but are not limited to: A. Barber and/or beauty shop charges B. Fines for traffic violations C. Private automobile repairs D. Expenses of any persons accompanying the employee or official on the trip(except as noted in Section 8(E)) E. Personal telephone calls (except as allowed in Section 8(c)) F. Purchase of personal items G. Fitness/Health Facilities 10. SETTLEMENT OF TRAVEL EXPENSES Travelers are responsible for the accurate preparation of their claims, and the responsibility of omission or commission cannot be shifted to another individual. A "Travel Expense Report" substantiated by receipts which verifies the claimed expenditures, must be submitted to the City Manager within five (5) work days after returning from the conference and/or trip. If an employee or official has drawn expense money in advance, a settlement must be made on the basis of actual expenses. If actual expenses exceed the advance, upon approval by the City Manager, said expenses will be reimbursed to the traveler by the Finance Department. If actual expenses do not exceed the expense advance received, said traveler shall return all unused portions of the expense advance to the Finance Department. To be reimbursed for travel expenditure, an employee or official must sign and submit a "Travel Expense Report" form and the "Conference Update Report" section of the "Travel Request" form. No reimbursement shall be made until the "Travel Expense Report" form and the "Conference Update Report" section of the "Travel Request" form has been properly executed and approved by the City Manager with the exception of City Councilmembers. Elected and appointed officials' travel expenditures will be reimbursed if they are within budgetary constraints, all proper forms have been completed and signed, and receipts are attached. The decision of the City Manager shall be final in all cases where conflicts of opinions on reimbursement or allowable expenses exist. For City Council Members and appointed officials, the decision of 5 the council shall be final. PROCEDURES: There are two forms to be utilized for travel and expense reporting (see the examples following this section). The first form is the "Request for Travel and/or Advance" form. This form is comprised of two basic parts; Part 1 covers the authorization for travel and/or an advance, and Part 2 provides follow-up information on the event attended. The second form is the "Travel Expense Report" and is needed in order to create the proper audit trail necessary for recording the expenditure of City funds. "Request for Travel and/or Advance" form: Out of state travel, trips in excess of 300 miles, or trips that involve overnight stay must be approved by the City Council. Trips or conferences that do not fall into the above category may be approved by the appropriate department head, or by the City Manager in the case of department head or non -elected officials' requests. The City Manager authorizes his own travel or conferences when they do not fall into the Council approval category mentioned in the first paragraph. Part 1 of this form, "Authorization", must be completed prior to the trip or conference. Requests for cash advances are included in this part of the form. If no advances are requested and Council approval is not needed, this part of the form may be filled out upon completion of the trip or conference if the appropriate verbal authorization has been granted. All approved advance requests are to be submitted to Finance at least five(5) working days before being needed. The 2nd NCR copy of this form will remain with Finance as payment backup documentation. The original will be retained by the traveller until Part 2 is completed and submitted with the Expense Report. Advances and all other expenses must be reconciled and approved on the "Travel Expense Report" and submitted to Finance within five(5)working days after completion of the trip or conference. Part 2 of this form, "Conference Update Report", is to be completed with a short narrative highlighting the subject of the conference and its relevance to City operations. This section must be completed when any conference expenses are incurred. The original "Request for Travel and/or Advance" form must be attached to the "Travel Expense Report" when that form is submitted. "Travel Expense Report" form: 6 The "Travel Expense Report" (referred to as the "expense report") is required to track all travel expenditures of the City. A proper audit trail, which includes supporting receipts, is necessary to comply with travel reporting requirements. The expense report that must be filled out is designed to be a logically grouped over -view of the total expenditures incurred while traveling. Detail and supporting documentation, including receipts and the "Request for Travel and/or Advance" form must be attached as backup to this expense report. There is some space provided on the form itself for explanation detail for any circumstances or situations that may need to be addressed. Meal and business entertainment receipts must identify names of who attended and what business matters were discussed. Itemized hotel bills are needed rather than, or in addition to, lump sum receipts. Monthly credit card bills are not to be used in lieu of the actual charge receipts. Expense items for which no receipts are available must be identified as such. The expense report is divided into three columns to cover whatever spending situations may occur. Column 1 is to contain allowable business expenses that the claimant has paid for personally, whether by personal credit card, check or cash. Cash advances become personal cash as soon as they are received from the City. Therefore, column 1 should be used when spending cash even if it was received from a City advance. The advance in such cases will also be listed in column 3 as a non - business expense of the City. When columns 1 and 3 are netted together the refund amount will be determined. The Expense Report should also be used for all mileage reimbursement claims whether conference related or not. Column 1 of the form shall be completed with appropriate detail. Column 2 is to contain all City paid expenses. These will primarily be City credit card expenses but may also include any checks or cash that were paid directly to the provider and were not received by the claimant as an advance. Such checks or cash paid directly may not always be readily determined, but the claimant needs to include these amounts to better reflect the total cost to the City. Totals from columns 1 and 2 should be added and the result placed in the "Total Trip Expense" box. Column 3 is to contain the amounts which were paid by the City either on check, cash, or credit card for items which are not reimbursable expenses. All efforts should be made not to use City funds for unallowable expenditures, but such situations are sometimes unavoidable. 7 Any advances that the claimant receives, whether check or cash, must be picked up in this column. Advances are considered non -business expenditures by the City and are the property of the recipient. Allowable expenditures that occur in such cases are listed separately in column 1. The total from column 1 is subtracted from the total of column 3 and the balance is due the City. If that result is a negative balance, it is a balance due the claimant. The claimant must sign the expense report certifying its correctness. Council member reports need only Council member signature. All other reports require City Manager and the appropriate department head signature approval. All expense reports will be kept in a segregated payable file whether money is due the claimant or not. Finance will verify credit card receipts with the expense report and then attach the receipts to the credit card billing as backup documentation. Any credit card billing received without receipts is not a reimbursable expense. Any personal charges incurred, or advances not reconciled, are considered a receivable to the City and may be deducted from any checks issued by the City to that individual after the five(5) day report filing deadline has expired. 0 MEMORANDUM TO: COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION i FROM: CYNTHIA HERNANDEZ, DEPARTMENT SECRETARY j DATE: MARCH 8, 1993 SUBJECT: AIRPORT -HOTEL TRANSPORTATION MARCH 10 THRU 14, 1993 The following are instructions on transportation from the Oakland Airport to Hotel Parc 555 in San Francisco.

E THE PUBLIC AND ITS PARKS: A CALIFORNIA OVERVIEW - 1992 California Department of Parks and Recreation 1416 9th Street Sacramento, California 95814 January 1992 The preparation of this summary was financed in part through a planning grant from the National Park Service, U. S. Department of the Interior, under the provisions of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (Public Law 88-578, as amended). This summary is an element of the California Outdoor Recreation Planning Program, formulated under the provisions of Chapter 5099 of the California Public Resources Code. THE PUBLIC AND ITS PARKS: A CALIFORNIA OVERVIEW - 1992 the spring of 1992, the California Department of Parks and creation conducted a survey to determine attitudes and opinions Californians regarding outdoor recreation, and to find out how ch of what kind of activity they were engaging in. is survey showed that Californians: * are engaging in outdoor recreation more but enjoying it less; * want better and more recreation facilities and services but are largely unwilling to pay additional general taxes (income tax, sales tax) to support them; * prefer nature -based recreation activities and sites, but are more likely to use more developed, urbanized areas; and * prefer activities that are cheap, simple and require few or no special facilities, not the specialized activities that may be intensely supported by organized groups. ese complex, paradoxical and often negative public attitudes may 11 spell "interesting times" ahead for the state's park and creation profession as it struggles to deal with a rapidly panding and diversifying population, a deteriorating frastructure, and increasingly inadequate levels of government venues. The near future does not look bright for the condition public park and recreation resources or for the satisfaction of e recreating public. Under these circumstances, one can forsee creasing difficulty for California's park managers and for the rk and recreation profession as a whole. e most important findings derived from the survey data are mmarized below, followed by a series of eleven tables and sociated commentary which portray the survey information in eater detail. rly in 1992, a representative sample of slightly more than 2000 lifornians was taken to determine their attitudes and opinions garding the value and management of the outdoor recreation lands 3 facilities located within the state. The survey also termined how much of which kind of outdoor recreation activities a respondents had engaged in during the previous year. The tivity portion of the survey examined outdoor recreation as a e, without regard to what public agency or private entrepreneur 'ided the land and facilities. survey's conclusions provide a good point -in -time view of the .00r recreation situation as it exists in California today. In tion, comparison of this current information with that from a lar survey taken in 1987 shows some interesting, if oncerting, trends. first conclusion of the 1992 survey was that more than three- ters of all Californians felt that outdoor recreation was rtant or very important to the quality of their lives. Being mportant, they did a lot of it, engaging in an estimated 2.27 ion household participation days during the previous year. is a far greater level of participation than that shown in the survey. y's Californians say that they have a strong preference for g undeveloped areas and natured -oriented parks. Nevertheless, as the highly developed parks and recreation areas that they most often, demonstrating a substantial difference between the recreationists say they want and.what they actually do. larly, survey respondents indicated a preference for historic iltural buildings, sites and areas that was not matched by the al level of use. ad been the case in 1987, the most popular activities in 1992 simple ones, requiring little money or specialized skill. intensely popular activities were few in number, with two - is of all participation days involving only five different rities - walking, driving for pleasure, casual use of turf a, bicycling and beach activities. The first four are so Dn that they can be undertaken in any community. survey went beyond asking what activities people engaged in t to determine the "latent demand" for additional public park ,*ecreation facilities. Again, the preference was for basic and Ltional facilities, those which supported walking, hiking, Lng, beach play, turf play, fishing and nature study, Demand such smaller for facilities for highly organized sports or for Lalized, more unusual activities. fitly less than half of the 1992 respondents were satisfied or satisfied with existing outdoor recreation areas and .ities. This level of satisfaction was lower than that shown Le 1987 survey. Over the five year period between the surveys, was a dramatic increase in the share of respondents that said facilities were worse than they had been five years earlier. survey respondents revealed some specific negative factors 'ding their outdoor recreation experiences. More than two- ls found that outdoor recreation areas and facilities were (2) often too crowded. Similarly, two-thirds felt enough discomfort in park settings to say that they wanted stronger enforcement of laws and regulations dealing with public use and behavior in these areas. Although both figures were larger in the 1987 survey, two- thirds is still an impressive figure. Many of the public's attitudes towards outdoor recreation lands and facilities are very positive and contain a strong pro -environment aspect. In both surveys, the same huge share of respondents (94%) thought that environmental protection was an important component of outdoor recreation. In both surveys, seventy per cent of the respondents said that more outdoor recreation areas and facilities were needed in and near large cities. Comparing the two surveys, a decreasing but still very large per centage of the respondents felt that higher levels of government should give financial assistance to lower levels to help pay for their outdoor recreation areas and facilities. In the 1992 survey, 83% of the respondents felt that the federal government should provide such assistance to state and local agencies, and 86% believed that state funds should be used to help local agencies. Almost three-quarters of the respondents thought that outdoor recreation areas and facilities helped the local economy. At the same time, however, only just over half of those surveyed felt that outdoor recreation areas and facilities should be used to promote tourism. Just five years earlier, seventy per cent had supported using parks to promote tourism. Regarding social benefits that might be derived from parks and outdoor recreation, the new survey showed that a decreasing number of people - down to about half in 1992 - thought recreation was useful in reducing crime or juvenile delinquency. Additionally, there was strong (64%) but declining support for increasing the provision of facilities and programs for special populations such as the elderly, the very poor, or the disabled. Many people want improvements in their parks and outdoor recreation facilities, but are not willing to increase the level of their general taxation in order to pay for them. Less than half of the respondents were willing to dedicate a small portion (not an increase) of the existing sales tax. Little more than a third of the respondents were willing to increase user fees by up to 20%. In the 1987 survey, so few were willing to accept an increase in the income tax that the question was not asked again in 1992. The only acceptable ways to raise needed money were a voluntary income tax check -off, using a portion of the existing state lottery proceeds, and an increase in so-called sin taxes. An increased levee on tobacco was supported by 67% of the respondents, while 65% supported an increase in the alcoholic beverage tax. In short, the public may want more and better areas and facilities, but it is (3) arly unwilling to pay for them directly, and less willing today n it was in 1987. n considering the allocation of today's tightening park agency gets, the majority of the respondents wanted any funding reases, perhaps made possible through -e reallocation of the rent funding, to be used for resource management (the most ular function), facility rehabilitation and basic maintenance. stantially fewer wanted any additional money to be spent on reases in land acquisition, educational programs, or (the least ular function) the construction of new facilities. The pondents seem to be asking that the limited budget be spent on most basic things, on taking care of what we already have. ng beyond agency functions, the survey respondents also had ws on which outdoor recreation activities should receive more port through the provision of more government facilities. The ponses clearly showed that the public wants government to vide more opportunities for inexpensive, casual activities that wire few skills but a large land base, such as walking, beach ivities and camping. In contrast, respondents did not support reased government support of expensive, specialized, high- Lled or highly organized activities such as skiing, kayaking and n sports like baseball and soccer. Some of the latter 1vities have well -organized special -interest advocacy that is matched by much support by the general public. :hese hard economic times, many public agencies are contracting i the private sector to undertake some of their visitor service operational functions. The 1992 survey showed the majority of public supported all but the most extreme level of privatizing Lic park and recreation functions. The privitization of reshment sales, special events and maintainence were approved by Least two-thirds of the respondents. -1y half of the respondents would privatize law enforcement and -1y sixty per cent would privatize educational activities. Only it a quarter would go so far as to want a private contractor to -esponsible for the total operation and management of a park. privitization of these last-mentioned three functions had less .ic support than was recorded in the 1987 survey. summary of the new public opinion survey has provided a ibnail sketch of how Californians look at outdoor recreation in The following eleven tables provide additional information, yell as the statistical basis for the findings described above. (4) Table 1 THE IMPORTANCE OF OUTDOOR RECREATION TO THE QUALITY -OF LIFE Per Cent Change in % Responded - 1992 187 to 192 Important and very important 76.3 + 10.0 Neutral 13.5 - 61.0 Unimportant and not at all 10.2 + 17.0 Table 1 shows the high level of importance that outdoor recreation plays in the lives of Californians. Three-quarters of the survey respondents say it is important or very important, ten per cent more than said so in 1987. At the same time, a small but increasing number of people felt outdoor recreation was not important. There was a large reduction in the number of people who had no views on the subject. Table 2 TYPES OF OUTDOOR RECREATION AREAS: PREFERRED USE VS. ACTUAL HEAVY USE Prefered Actual % Actual/ Use - % Heavy Use* Prefered Natural and undeveloped areas 48.8 13.6 0.28 Nature -oriented parks and recreation areas 26.3 8.0 0.30 Highly developed parks and recreation areas 14.2 18.4 0.30 Private, not public, outdoor recreation areas, facilities 10.6 9.6 0.90 Historical or cultural buildings, sites or areas 7.1 2.5 0.35 (*) the use of an area at least once a week If outdoor recreation is important to Californians, what sort of areas and activities are they looking for? Table 2 shows that by far the strongest public preference is for activities in natural and less -developed areas. However, when the respondents say what kind of areas they actually used, the heavy use took place in areas that were more developed, and especially in highly developed areas. Similarly, the level of preference expressed for visiting historic (5) as was not matched by the numbers of heavy users. Only private reation areas were prefered and heavily used by about the same re of survey respondents - about ten per cent. le 3, following, shows how much of what sort of outdoor reation activities Californians participated in during 1991. total of 2.27 billion participation days (column C) was more n twice the figure for 1987. The most popular activities are ious: two-thirds of the all activity days was doing just five Eerent activities - walking, driving for pleasure, play on turf, cling and beach activities. the popularity of an activity is measured not in terms of the 31 activity days that people do it, but instead in terms of the .ent of the population that does the activity at all (column A), re is little difference in the conclusion as to which activities it be considered most "popular." the top ten activities measured using each of the two roaches, eight will be found on both lists. Examination of Le 3 will show good examples of four sorts of people/intensity :erns. There are activities which a large share of the public and does frequently, such as walking and bicycling. There are se which many people do but do infrequently, such as visiting sums and zoos. Then, there are activities which a relatively Ll share of the population does but does quite often, such as ling and surfing. And finally, there are those which only a few )le do only infrequently, such as cross-country skiing and water ing. .e 4, following, shows the "latent demand" for additional public : and recreational facilities. These rankings combine the )ondents' opinions on two questions. They are: (1) what .vities would you do for the first time or would do more of if s facilities were available, and (2) what activities do you ik it is the government's responsibility to provide facilities results show that facilities are wanted for traditional, basic .vities, hiking, camping, fishing, nature study, turf play, and like. Very little support is given for the additional public ling of more specialized, high skill activities or for .lities supporting organized sports. 'able 5, below, survey respondents indicate that a small, bare •ality believes that outdoor recreation areas and facilities are orse conditon today than they were five years before. This is ich bigger fraction of the population than made this judgement :he previous survey. Those who think that the situation has ,an better is a somewhat smaller and shrinking number.

While the number of those dissatisfied was only a third of those satisfied, the ranks of the dissatisfied are on the increase.

A very high per centage, little changed since 1987, believe that protection of the environment is an important aspect of outdoor recreation areas. More than four -fifths believe that the state and federal government should continue to provide financial aid to local governments for park and recreation purposes. while there is a strong and growing belief that recreation areas can create jobs and help the local economy, there is a much smaller and rapidly shrinking number of people who want to use these areas and facilities to promote tourism. A substantial but decreasing fraction of the population is willing to increase recreation areas and programs for the poor, the elderly or the disabled. There is a reduction in the belief that outdoor recreation areas and programs help to reduce crime or juvenile delinquency. Two-thirds of the respondents complained about overcrowding at recreation areas.

More local parks, more open space, more trails, more wilderness areas, more campgrounds (especially simple ones) and more educational park programs are all in high demand. Table 6 showed the strong desire for more outdoor recreation areas and facilities in or near large cities. For only two types of facilities were larger numbers sought by only a relatively small per cent of the respondents: only 37% wanted more areas for using off -road vehicle recreation (still a substantial increase over the figure from 1987) and only 14% wanted higher levels of intensive commercial development in public parks and recreation areas. Tables 5 and 6 showed general dissatisfaction with the current situation, while Table 8 indicated a broad desire for more land, facilities and services. Table 9, following, shows, at least indirectly, a definite lack of public willingness to pay for the desired improvement and expansion in their park and recreation opportunities. The use of general taxation was clearly unacceptable. Less than half of the respondents were willing to dedicate a portion of the existing sales tax (no increase suggested) to parks and the idea of increasing user fees by up to 20% was supported by just over one- third. Only new money presumably derived from people other than the respondents was acceptable by a majority, a voluntary income tax check -off, a share of the state lottery, and two types of "sin taxes", those on alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. Table 10, following, shows what respondents want to do with existing park agency budgets in times of fiscal austerity. The responses show an emphasis on good management of what is already at hand, protecting the natural resource base and maintaining the existing facilities. The acquisition of new land has a relative low priority and the construction of new facilities has the lowest priority of all. The eleventh and last table, following, shows the degree to which the public believes that various aspects of the operation and management of park and recreation areas and facilities might be turned over to the private sector. There is broad support for this sort of privatization, not just in the usual food sales and sponsorship of special events, but even in maintenance and interpretive efforts. Almost half would agree to privatize law enforcement, but less than a quarter would want a private entrepreneur to undertake the management of all aspects of park operations.

I have summarized the highlights of the conference and attached a packet of information for your review. Summary Comments 1. Cities are putting provisions on their construction plan checks stating the plans meet the U.B.C. and Title 24 provisions. A.D.A. compliance however, is performed by the Department of Justice. The primary reason for this is to ensure that the city does not become liable for implementing A.D.A. requirements for the Federal government. Private individuals are governed by Title III of the A.D.A. rules. 2. Phone companies are required to have T.D.D. phone relay operators by 1993 to assist disabled customers. This means that cities will need to grow accustomed to operators calling their departments to serve as intermediary between city staff and the client (third party communications). Verbal information will be typed by the operators to the customer and vice versa. A large city will need to install their own T.D.D. system to handle disabled clients. 3. Public agencies are required to meet Title II A.D.A. provisions (public services). 4. Cities should begin placing a statement at the bottom of public notices which states that if special equipment is necessary in order for a person to communicate at a public meeting prior notice is required (e.g., 48 hours). For example, an interpreter may be necessary who speaks both Chinese and English for an individual who does not speak English. Cities need to ensure equal access to their public meetings. MBMOGT.033 0 k t Conference speakers stated school districts are a good resource for citie., which may require interpreters and special equipment since they have had tc deal With7 this requirement for the past 20+ years. Further, cities cannot charge the individual in need for the service. Cities should develop procedures for assisting the disabled at public meetings in order to ensure that A.D. A. provisions are met (e.g., allowing people with interpreters ten minutes to speak instead of the standard three minutes). 5. Currently the State of California has requested that the Federal government certify that Title 24 provisions are in compliance with A.D.A. statutes. 6. Goals of A.D.A.: A. Mainstreaming B . Equal opportunity to participate C. Most integrated setting 7. If cities desire to have public broadcasting for public meetings, closed caption programming should be provided. Cities should also consider this same type of measure for their cable television franchises during contract negotiations, etc. (Title IV - Telecommunications - A.D.A.). 8. People who are disabled can request that cities afford them their "primary" method of communication if they need assistance. (Example: If someone comes to our City's Planning Department counter and they want a Braille copy of the Zoning Code versus audio tapes, the city must attempt to assist the person who is requesting the product.) These types of special services can be handled by an appointment if not urgent. 9. Public safety staff will be required to assist the special needs of people whether or not it is a physical or speech related problem. 10. Only 5% of the hearing impaired population know Braille. 11. Cities are required to perform a self -evaluation of their communities needs within one year to identify and correct deficiencies in their services and programs. City personnel will need to coordinate with local organizations to determine who will need service, where they reside as well as how these individuals will be served by their City in the future. Example: The city decides to retrofit an existing community park for use by various disabled groups because it is adjacent to a senior retirement home, and is convenient or is available by other means (e.g., public transit). Hence, it would be cost-effective to retrofit one park than all parks within the next few years since this park would service a large clientele. In addition, public agencies with 50+ employees are required to: a. Develop a grievance procedure. b. Designate an individual to oversee Title II compliance. c. Develop a transition plan if structural changes are necessary for achieving program accessibility. d. Return the self -evaluation for three years. MBMOGT.033 12. Temporary disabilities are not covered under A. D.A. unless it creates a long term impairment. 13. Private contractors which provide city sponsored services must meet the provisions of Title II of A.D.A. (see the attached example from the conference). RECOMMENDATION: The City should establish a survey group within City Hall which will examine the provisions and requirements of the A.D.A. and survey the City services for compliance (self evaluation). The survey should be completed by January, 1993, and structural changes should be completed by July 25, 1995. The attached booklet has the necessary information to start the process. However, the Building and Safety Department might have already started this process since the regulations went into effect at the beginning of this year.

Real ec- tate professionals will he most concerned with Tide III, which went into effect on January 26, 1992. Title III requires facilities that are open m the public —public accom- modaunns and commercial facilities —to be accessible to and usable by the disabled. The rules differ for public accommodations and commerciai facilities. Public accommodations contain areas intended for the use of the general public and include not only such facilities as bus stations, Convention centers, restaurants, and shopping centers but also banks, dainty and lawyers' offices, Insurance agenctes, and iimilar "Service establishments.' Some com- nercial facilities have public accommoda- tions components. ADA requires the remtnal If existing architectural and communmcaunn irriers from public accnmtnndationsrcf heir removal is "readily achievable," that is easdv accomplishable and able to be carried ut without much difficulty or expense." In determining what is readily achiev- ble, one should consider the nature and )St of the action; the overall financial re- rurces of the entity required to make the manees; the effect on the entity's expenses III resources: and safety requirements, in- uding crime prevention. Readty achiev- de action to remove harriers would he to stall ramps, add braille signage to eleva- r controls, reposition telephones, widen tors, or remove high pile Inw-densiry rpeting. The ADA has two other maior require- :nts for public accommodations. Entities feting the requirements must reasonably idifv policies, pracuces, and procedures to raw the disabled to conduct business in the ommod2uons. Anti they must supply aux- ry aids or services to enable the disabled 'ommunicate effectiveh• while doing bust- s. A change In policy or pracuce might to keep an adequate number of check-ogti rs open or to allow "service animals" in Idings. Some examples of auxiliary aids telephone handset amplifiers, video text Urban Land • April 1992 displa}s. and braille or large print material. Ennues may be excused from compliance only If Implementation would result in an "undue burden," a "significant difficulty or expense."The relevant factors in determin- ing "undue burden" are the same as those for "readily achievable." However, the stand- ard for "undue burden" is meant to he more difficult to meet. Commercial facilities contain only pri- vate businesses occupied and used by their own employees. Those built before Title 11I's effector date are aummatmcally in com- pliance with the act for now. New facilities and those portions of facilities that are al- tered or renovated must he made accessible to and usable by the disabled.

Although Toni Lazara is eligible for the deaf program. he wants to play in the City - sponsored. but privately run, junior baseball program. Toni requests the presence of a City -paid interpreter at practices and games The Little -Ball organization rejects Toni's request. and Toni s parents promptly file a grievance under the City's new ADA policy - The Little -Ball contracts with the City Recreation Department to run the pro- gram for a set fee. The provision of interpreters or other aids to children with dis- abilities was not part of the contractual arrangement Little -Ball responded to Torifs request as follows 1. Little -Ball is not covered by Title H of the ADA- 2 Little -Ball did not agree to provide any services other than those specified in the contract. 3. An interpreter is unnecessary and too costly. Toni will be able to participate in Little -Ball through a combination of: (a) lip reading, which he does somewhat; (b) family members acting as interpreters: (c) written notations and (d) coach's visual signals during games Toffs parents have appealed their grievance. You are asked to respond on the City's behalf. 1. is the City responsible under the ADA for the Little -Ball program? Vf 2 Can the City require Toni to participate in the City -sponsored deaf tlo recreation program in lieu of Little -Ball? 3. Must the City grant Toni's preference of an auxiliary aid —an �o a ky interpreter? foo< 4. What standard applies if the City rejects Tours preference? Are the alternative forms of aid suggested by Little -Ball adequate for Toni? 1.

Many persona who use wheelchairs need a 30 In (760 mmi clear opening width for door- ways. gates, and the like. when the latter are entered head-on. If the person is unfamiliar with a budding. if competing traffic is heavy. if sudden or frequent movements are needed. or if the wheelchair must be turned at an opening, then greater clear widths are needed. For most situations. the addition of an itch of leeway on either side is sufficient. Thus. a minimum dear width of 32 in (815 mini will provide adequate clearance. However. when an opening or a restriction in a passageway is more than 24 in (610 mm) long, it is essentially a passageway and must be at least 36 in 1915 tmni wide. (2) Space Requirements for Use of Walking Aids. Although people who use walking aids can maneuver through clear width openings of 32 in 1815 nia). they need 36 in t915 rams wide passageways and walks for comfortable gaits. Crutch tips, often extending down at a wide angle, are a harard in narrow passage. ways where they night not be seen by other pedestrians. Thus, the 36 in (915 rani) width provides a safety allowance both for the person with a disability and for other,. (3) Space Requirements for Passing.
