ROLLER HOCKEY POTENTIAL AT COLUMBUS TUSTIN PARK
RECOMMENDATION
Pleasure of the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
In the event the City Council wishes to construct a roller hockey
rink at the Columbus Tustin Park, minimum construction costs could
range from a low of approximately $66,000 for Alternative I to a
high of approximately $200,000 for Alternative III, IV and V.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
At the City Council meeting of July 5th, Councilman Ports requested
that staff return with a report examining the possible addition of
an "in-line skating" or "rollerblading" hockey rink at the Columbus
Tustin Park. This report is intended to provide a review of
possible design alternatives for locating a roller hockey facility
at the park and the relative impacts on the existing park and
adjacent Columbus Tustin Middle School site.
The following is a summary of each alternative and any anticipated
impacts. Concept plans have also been prepared for each
alternative as well as cost estimates. They are included as
Exhibit A and B, respectively.
City Council Report
Roller Hockey Potential at Columbus Tustin Park

ALTERNATIVE I - Locate a Roller ~oekey Facility on all 4 existing
tennis courts.
There are no other lighted public tennis courts nearby.
The courts at Tustin High School are closest. There are
six lighted and three unlighted courts.
Approximately 100 students per year take tennis lessons
at Columbus Tustin Park through the Community Services
Department. Annual gross revenue from classes held at
Columbus Tustin is over $2,000.
There will be 6 lighted tennis courts at the Tustin
Sports Park.
Under terms of the joint use agreement with the School
District, students from Columbus Tustin Middle School use
the courts for Physical Education classes. The school is
scheduled to re-open in 1995.
Eo
The tennis courts at Columbus Tustin Park are the most
heavily used by drop-in participants in the City.
Approximately 30-50 participants use the courts each day.
Costs could be as high as approximately $66,000 depending
on the level of vendor participation.
ALTERNATIVE II - Locate Roller Hockey Facility on 2 existing tennis
courts and extend the concrete slab to accommodate the program.
Tennis and Roller Hockey would be next to each other and
the two uses may not be compatible. Roller Hockey is
played by teenagers and young adults while tennis is
played by middle aged adults and young children. Noise
is definitely a factor.
In order to expand the concrete slab, improvements made
to the park site within the past two years would have to
be removed such as picnic benches, lighting, irrigation,
and walkways.
Co
The picnic area adjacent to the playground is used by the
public on a daily basis. The construction of the Roller
Hockey facility would result in the loss of this picnic
area.
Costs could be as high as $136,250 depending on the level
of vendor participation.

ALTEP.NATIVE III - Construct a Roller Hockey Rink on Sports Field #1
The loss of one field could result in the loss of $50,000
revenue per year in the adult softball program. New
fields at the Tustin Sports Park may partially offset
some of this loss but Sports Park revenue will also be
needed to offset operational and maintenance costs at the
Sports Park.
Field ~1 is located farthest from the Columbus Tustin
Middle school which is anticipated to reopen in 1995.
C. Sports Field ~1 and ~2 have the best lighting for
softball. Both fields also have infields superior to
fields #3 and ~4 located to the east. However, there
have been problems with foul balls being hit into the
street from field %1. Additional fencing has partially
mitigated this problem.
D. Alternatives III, IV and V would cost approximately
$200,000 depending on the level of vendor participation.
ALTERNATIVE IV - Construct a Roller Hockey Rink on Sports Field %3
B o
The loss of one sports field could result in the loss of
$50,000 revenue per year in the adult softball program.
New fields at the Tustin Sports Park may partially offset
some of this loss but Sports Park revenue will also be
needed to offset operational and maintenance costs at the
Sports Park.
Sports field ~3 is located closest to Columbus Tustin
Middle School and during school hours could pose a noise
and operational impact to the District.
Conditions on Sports Field ~3 are some of the worst at
Columbus Tustin Park. The infield is rocky and is in
need of substantial capital improvements. The lighting
on field ~3 is also substandard for softball.
ALTERNATIVE V - Construct a Roller Hockey Rink on Sports Field
ao
The loss of one sports field could result in the loss of
$50,000 revenue per year in the adult softball program.
New fields and projected revenue at the Tustin Sports
Park may partially offset some of this loss but Sports
Park revenue will also be needed to offset operational
and maintenance costs at the Sports Park.

at Columbus
Tustin Park
Sports Field 1 and 2 have the best lighting for softball.
Both fields have infields superior to Sports Field ~3.
In order to construct the rink and not impact Sports
Field #3, construction of the northerly portion of the
rink could interfere with an existing 20 foot wide storm
drain easement. It may not be acceptable to construct a
permanent improvement over this easement.
Joint Use Aqreement with the School District
The City has a joint use agreement with the Tustin Unified School
District for recreational facilities at Columbus Tustin Park. This
agreement was a result of the City acquiring private and public
property adjacent to Columbus Tustin Intermediate School. Signed
in 1976, the agreement set the terms of a master plan for the
development and maintenance of recreation facilities on the
combined properties. Included in the agreement were specific
parameters for scheduling facility use. A formal master plan was
not completed until 1982, six years after the first phase
construction was completed. The agreement is valid until 2026.
Since proposed first phase improvements crossed School District and
City property lines, the current agreement gave the School District
the right to review and approve plans and specifications for the
first phase of development. Those improvements are listed in the
agreement. Subsequent City funded projects on School District
property, such as installation of additional ballfield lighting and
a shade structure were reviewed and approved by the School Board
and District staff as well as the City Council.
When the first phase of development occurred, the plans did not
show actual property lines. Based on legal descriptions in the
agreement and verbiage in the Master Plan-Design Development
Report, it appears that the City owns very little of the softball
turfed areas, certainly not enough of the land to build a roller
hockey facility without cooperation of the School District.
Tennis court use is specifically defined in the agreement. The
courts are not only to be available for the public a certain number
of hours but the intermediate school is given time to run tennis as
part of the physical education program. To convert the courts to
a roller hockey facility would require that the agreement be
amended.
A more informal approach has been taken with the School District
for projects located entirely on City property. As a courtesy,

site plans and if requested, plans and specs have been given to
School District personnel to share with Boardmembers. Also in
completing construction of the Columbus Tustin Master Plan, School
District staff as well as any interested parties have been involved
in the planning process through the Columbus Tustin Park Task
Force.
Suz~mary
In summary, the City does not have the open space within the
property lines of the park site to construct a roller hockey rink
on property in sole ownership of the City of Tustin. All the
alternatives presented depend on approval by the Tustin Unified
School District.
Should the City and the School District decide to agree to amend
the joint use agreement to allow roller hockey at Columbus Tustin
Park, it would be suggested that the City coordinate with the
School District for their support and in determining a suitable
vendor and the terms of a concession agreement. Staff has received
a sample concession agreement from the City of Torrance and finds
that it is not suitable as a model for our purposes. In the event
that agreement is reached with the District, staff would intend to
jointly prepare a new concession agreement with the District. In
conjunction with any concessionnaire negotiations, a vendor may
also offer to provide the finish for the concrete slab, fencing,
scoreboard, and painting which could greatly affect the cost of
improvements.
