February 22, 1999
TO: MAYOR YOST AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KEITH TILL,
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Appointment of citizens Bixby Tennis Club Site Committee
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION: City Council to approve a motion
appointing a Bixby Tennis Club Site Committee to provide recommendations to the Parks
and Recreation Commission and City Council regarding recreation programs and
facilities to be established at the seven-acre site being deeded to the City of Seal Beach.
BACKGROUND: Terms of the Bixby Towne Center development agreement provide
that Bixby Ranch Co. deed the current tennis club site to the City along with a cash
payment of$1 million, all or a portion of which may be used for improvements at the
approximate 7-acre tennis club site for park and recreation purposes.
It is not in the City's interests to take responsibility for the tennis club facilities until the
money for improvements is received and a decision is made on how to develop and
manage the new and/or existing facilities. With a wide variety of options possible, it is
important that the decision process begin as soon as practicable, and that a target date be
established for evaluating public input and making the necessary decisions.
Mayor Pro Tern Campbell has requested interested residents to volunteer service on a
citizens committee that would evaluate the options and, with assistance from the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Director,provide recommendations to the Parks and
Recreation Commission and, ultimately, to the City Council. A six-month timeframe for
the committee's initial report would ensure that the City Council can make a timely
decision on how to utilize the facilities when the City assumes ownership within one
year.
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to appoint an ad hoc Bixby Tennis Club Site
Committee to report within six months on options for development and use of the
property. ,t
