mittee and Council. The Council expressed concerns over the lack of in-

development on the East side and Standards.

I/
The Council was concerned about the public' s, Committee' s and Council' s
involvement in the process. .
Mayor Dyda suggested that the process should be that the staff, Committee,
and architect develop Phase O conceptual plans and that these plans be
presented to Council for their reaction. Included in this Council briefinc
process should be the objectives, rationale, the alternative plans, and
the reasons the particular alternative approach was chosen.
The Council and Committee suggested that the conceptual master plan be
. P
ready for review by the Council in early December, 1978 .
ISSUE II -- LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND GRANT
Director Law presented a brief summary of the Land and Water Grant actions
to date and future milestones that need to be met.
As part of Issue I, the Council suggested that a decision on the level of
funding be made after reviewing the total conceptual master plan.

ISSUE III - COMMUNICATIONS
Chairman Rosenthal gave a brief presentation on the communication process
between the Council, Committee, and staff.
The Council and Committee felt that much of the concern over communication
had been solved during the discussion of previous issues_ The Council
suggested that additional workshops should - be scheduled as the need arises.
ISSUE IV - INTERFACE WITH OTHER PENINSULA COMMUNITIES
Committee member Marani gave an update on the meeting with Rolling Hills
Estates. Councilman Buerk suggested that as the conceptual master plan
is developed, we should look at the total Peninsula. However, we should
develop a park only if it would serve the best interests of the citizens
of Rancho Palos Verdes and not just because there was a deficiency in some
other community.
The Council gave direction to the Committee to continue to explore the •
items of rrtutual concern with the other three Peninsula cities and that at
a later date ,Te might perhaps discuss a peninsula-wide -parks and recreation'
district. -
•
ISSUE V --- TRAILS AND PATHWAYS
Councilwoman Shaw and Committee member Soldoff gave the Committee and
Council a brief history of trails and pathway development. The Council
recommended that the responsibility for the master planning and develop-
ment of trails and pathways be given to the Parks and Recreation Department.
The Council further recommended that the City Manager prepare a brief re-
port on how this transfer of responsibility will occur and what it will
include.
ISSUE VI --- JOINT USE OF SCHOOL DISTRICT SITES -
•
Committee member Gibson reported on the current status of the joint use of
school sites. The Council recommended that we maintain close relationships
with the school district and monitor the next school-year budget. The
Council further recommended that the Committee attempt to prepare an alter-
nate plan of action if the school use situation should change.
•
RECAP OF ISSUES AND ACTIONS
The staff recommended that because of the Land and Water Grant, additiona
workshops in early December be scheduled as soon as the conceptual plans
were completed. The. Council suggested that this meeting should be schedu_
when the exact completion date was known.
The Council recommended that the next scheduled meeting be set for
January 6, 1979, at 9: 00 a.m. , Parks and Recreation Building.
