5. REQUEST FOR USE OF PARK FACILITIES - Temple City Youth Foot-
ball
Chairman Adams stated this item had been tabled from the
meeting of March 17, as no representative of Youth Foot-
ball was present at that time; also, that the Commission
desired the request of AYSO for their use of the fields;
that this request had been received too late for the Agenda,
but would also be handled at this time.
Chairman Adams recognized Walter Kubacki, President of
Temple City Youth Football, 6161 Encinita who stated Temple
City Youth Football was requesting use of Live Oak Park area
adjacent to North and South Baseball Fields from 5:30 p.m.
to 7:30 p.m. August 9, 1982 through December 3, 1982 and
use of the Concession stand during the same period; also,
use of the area adjacent to the Snack Bars from 9:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. June 5, 12, and 19, 1982 for the purpose of
registration.
Mr. Kubacki stated that these dates had been coordinated
with Temple City AYSO and there did not appear to be any
conflict.
The Commission felt that the activities were proper use
of the Park and have been conducted in the past in an
acceptable manner. Chairman Adams also cautioned Youth
Football about their responsibilities in keeping the
area clean, litter control, protection of turf, conser-
vation and payment of electricity.
It was moved by Comiiiissioner Caswell, seconded by Commis-
sioner Crump that this be referred to the City Council
recommending approval subject to the usual insurance re-
quirements and with the understanding that all use dates
were coordinated with Temple City Youth Soccer to the
satisfaction of both organizations.

6. REQUEST FOR USE OF PARK FACILITIES - Temple City AYSO
Chairman Adams recognized James Schmidling, Commissioner
of the Temple City AYSO who stated they were requesting
use of the Park from September 7, 1982 through January
31, 1982 for their regular schedule as well as the Con-
cession stand; Playoff games February 1, 1983 through
February 26, 1982, also including the concession stand
and the Meeting Room and Kitchen on May 1, and May 22,
1982 for registration.
Mr. Schmidling indicated that the schedule had been co-
ordinated with Temple City Youth Football and there does
not appear to be a conflict.
The Commission felt that this was proper use of the Park
and had been conducted there previously in a proper man-
ner. Chairman Adams cautioned AYSO about their responsi-
bilities in keeping the area clean, litter control, pro-
tection of turf, conservation and payment of electricity.
It was moved by Commissioner Crump, seconded by Commis-
sioner Shaw and unanimously carried that the request be
referred to the City Council recommending approval to
and including January 31, 1983 with the understanding
that the dates were coordinated with Temple City Youth
Football to the satisfaction of both organizations; that
use after January 31, is given with the understanding that
Temple City American Little League will be the prime user
beginning February 1, 1983 and any use by Soccer after
that date must be coordinated with the Parks and Recreation
Department and American Little League; however, should sche-
duling conflicts occur that cannot be resolved, the use of
the facilities will be granted to Temple City American
Little League, and subject to usual insurance requirements.
Mr o Schmidling also stated that AYSO ham boon praot:it 3ng
at Live Oak Park on a regular basis but only using the
fringe areas where there is no conflict with Little League
but they would like to have the use of the lights. How-
ever, no formal request had been made to use the field.
Chairman Adams expressed concern over AYSO using the fields
on a regular basis without approval from the Department,
stating that the Department would lose control if everyone
starting doing this.
Commissioner Shaw questioned the use of the fields at the
same time as Little League to which Mr. Schmidling stated
he had not heard anything from Little League and therefore
assumed there was no problem.
Director Kobett stated that insofar as the lights are con-
cerned, once they are shut off, they should not be turned on
again that evening due to damage to lamp and loss of lamp
life expectancy.
Chairman Adams recognized Martha Owens, 9822 Hallwood, Vice
President of American Little League who stated that their
registrations this year were very heavy and she did not see
how they could share the fields with AYSO.
Mr. Schmidling stated that they would finish their practice
the latter part of May and, that next year they would put in
a formal request to -the Commission for use of the fields for
Spring soccer practice.

DIRECTORS REPORT
12. The Commission reviewed the Director's Report which gave
background information on the various requests for use
of the Park facilities.
The Report also covered the "Spring Fever" program held
at Live Oak Park on March 21, the San Gabriel Valley
Municipal Athletic Association Girls Basketball Tournament
hosted by Temple City which was held March 9 through 12;
registration for new classes; Senior Citizen Income Tax .
preparation; the City's Outstanding Older American; the
All City Easter Egg Hunt and the completion of the installa-
tion of the Athletic Field Lights at Live Oak Park by
American Little League.
Director Kobett asked Commission's clarification on the
use of Park Facilities by a parochial school organized
group and asked if they would be considered a fee or free
group inasmuch as they were affiliated with a parochial
school.
It was the consensus of the Commission that regardless of
their affiliation, they would be considered an organized
Temple City Youth Group and would be classified as a free
group.
Director Kobett asked Commission's clarification on use
of Park facilities by a Temple City Boy Scout Group spon-
sored by a church in another City and also meeting at
this Church.
It was the consensus of the Commission that the residency
requirement would be considered here and if 50% of the
group were residents of Temple City, it would be considered
a free group.
Commissioner Shaw was excused at 8:25 p.m. for cause.
OLD BUSINESS
13. LIVE OAK PARK BUILDING STUDY
