BACKGROUND: At the 2007 Town Council retreat, the Council discussed plans to initiate a 2010 General Plan update. The Council determined that the General Plan is serving the community well, but an update is desired to consider new issues that have arisen since its adoption in 2000 and to revise information that is no longer current. At the retreat, Council identified four topics for review as part of the update, including: the environment and sustainability, recreational opportunities, youth, and seniors. DISCUSSION: Retreat Format and Content In setting the agenda for the 2008 Town Council retreat, the Mayor requested that the retreat focus on providing input to the Council on the four topics identified to be addressed in the General Plan update. Accordingly, the March 22nd retreat includes three panels of experts/stakeholders covering the four topics. For purposes of the panel presentations, the topics of youth and seniors are combined into one panel, as they are both special population groups. The panel participants are listed on Attachment 1. Each panelist will address the following general questions regarding his/her topic: PREPARED BY: PAMELA S. JACOBS ASSISTANT TOWN MANAGER Reviewed by: Assistant Town Manager 6 Town Attorney Clerk Administrator Finance Community Development PAGE 2 MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL SUBJECT: 2008 TOWN COUNCIL RETREAT MARCH 19, 2008 ■ What is your vision for the environment/recreation/youth/seniors in Los Gatos for the decade from 2010 to 2020? ■ What opportunities and challenges do you see for the environment/ recreation/youth/seniors in Los Gatos for the decade from 2010 to 2020? ■ What factors should the Town consider in planning for the environment/recreation/youth and seniors in Los Gatos for the decade from 2010 to 2020? Within each topic, individual panelists will address a particular aspect of the topic depending on their area of expertise. The panel presentations will be recorded and provided to the Town's consultants for General Plan update when they have been selected. Background Material Prior to the panel presentations, the Town Manager will set the context for the topics by highlighting demographic and fiscal trends affecting Los Gatos. Attachment 2 is a set of demographic data, estimates and projections from 2000, 2007 and 2012, respectively. More detailed demographic information will be prepared by the consultant as part of the General Plan update; however, this data provides a basic profile of the Los Gatos population as a context for the panel discussions. Attachment 3 is the draft Los Gatos Parks, Open Space and Trails Inventory prepared as background for the General Plan update. The draft report provides a comprehensive inventory of the parks, open space areas, trails, and public and private recreation facilities currently available to the Los Gatos community. CONCLUSION: The 2008 Town Council retreat is designed to provide input to the Town Council on four topics in preparation for the 2010 General Plan update: the environment and sustainability, recreational opportunities, youth, and seniors. Panelists with expertise in each of these areas will discuss the vision, opportunities, challenges and factors for consideration with regard to addressing these topics in the 2010 General Plan for the time period of 2010 to 2020.

Located at the edge of the Santa Clara Valley, Los Gatos is framed by the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains and surrounded by a diverse and scenic landscape. The area's natural beauty remains an important amenity for the Los Gatos community and recreational opportunities are essential to the qual- ity of life for many Los Gatos residents. The Town of Los Gatos has a distinct and attractive built environment, with a vibrant downtown and historic core. The Town is dedicated to preserving and enhancing its open space areas, establishing a system of regional and neighborhood parks, developing trails for pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as providing playing fields and other facilities for community use. All of these amenities are in high demand, well-used and loved by the active Los Gatos population. This report provides a comprehensive inventory of the parks, open space ar- eas, trails, and public and private recreation facilities that are currently avail- able to the community. A summary of each facility's size, amenities, pro- gramming, user groups, use restrictions and other key information, as well as the facility's type of ownership is provided. Facilities owned by a public agency or entity, such as the Town or County, have the greatest amount of public access and are listed first in the report. Quasi-public facilities, such as community- or faith-based organizations, generally have more limited public access and may require a user fee or affiliation with the organization. Private facilities, such as athletic clubs, have the most restrictive use policies and re- quire membership fees or affiliation with the organization for use of their facilities. Several facilities include sports fields that can accommodate organized athletic events and other group recreational activities. The sports fields described for these facilities include practice fields, game fields and other field areas that are appropriate for a range of age groups, skill levels and activities. Due to the variety of sizes, shapes and locational requirements for such fields, those in- TOWN OF L O S G A T O S DRAFT PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND TRAIL INVENTORY cluded in this report were largely identified by the field's owner and by the types of activities currently permitted. In general, baseball fields are defined as having bases and a batting area appropriate for group baseball games or practices. Multi-use fields are defined as relatively flat, grassy areas that are suitable for organized group activities such as soccer. In some cases, individual facilities or ownership entities contacted were un- able to provide specific dimensions or overall sizes of field areas. In these cases, estimates were made based on descriptions from the ownership entity or user groups, aerial photographs and other available information. There- fore, for the purposes of this report there is not a specific dimension or size requirement for the classification of a "field." All of the fields included be- low, however, are considered suitable for organized group practices or games. Figure 1, located at the end of this report, identifies the location of each field, and end notes provide additional description of terms used in the report. 1. PUBLIC FACILITIES This section describes the facilities that are owned and operated by the Town of Los Gatos, the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and the local public school dis- tricts. These facilities are available for use by the public with minimal restric- tions. A. Town of Los Gatos The Town of Los Gatos Parks and Public Works Department (PPW) is re- sponsible for managing and maintaining the Town's public parks, facilities, and open space amenities. Los Gatos has 14 parks: Bachman Park, Balzer Field, Belgatos Park, Blossom Hill Park, Fairview Plaza, Howes Play Lot, La Rinconada Park, Live Oak Manor Park, Novitiate Park, Oak Hill Play Lot, Oak Meadow Park, Pageant Grounds, Town Plaza and Worcester Park. The TOWN OF L O S G A T O S DRAFT PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND TRAIL INVENTORY Town of Los Gatos also maintains two open space areas with trails, the Heinz Open Space and the Santa Rosa Open Space, as well as a portion of the Los Gatos Creek Trail. In total, PPW maintains approximately 345 acres of park and open space, as well as nearly 13 miles of multi-use trails' Figure 2, lo- cated at the end of this report, identifies the locations of the Town's park and open space facilities. The Town's park and open space facilities support a variety of uses and offer a range of amenities, including picnic areas, pedestrian trails, tennis and bas- ketball courts, playground areas and benches. All of the Town's facilities are open to the public and accessible from 8:00 a.m. until one half hour after sun- set, with the exception of the Town's trails which are open from 7:00 a.m. to sunset. Organized recreation and athletic team activities occurring within the Town's parks are required to pay a Use Fee and a Turf Impact Fee. For non-profit organizations, the Use Fee is currently $75 for the first use and $15 for each additional use. For private parties and for-profit groups, the Use Fee is cur- rently $100 for the first use and $30 for each additional use. The Turf Impact Fee is determined after the scheduled use and is based on the cost of repairing or replacing the park's turf. Reservations for organized activities within Town parks are scheduled through the Parks and Public Works Department's Parks and Forestry program. Several Town parks include open lawn areas; however, PPW does not classify these areas as sports fields. Instead, they are open areas considered appropri- ate for passive or informal recreation and may have topographic, landscape or other site features that make them inappropriate for organized team use. Currently, four of the Town's parks contain sports fields that are appropriate for athletic team or group use. These are: Balzer Baseball Field, Blossom Hill Park, Live Oak Manor Park and Oak Meadow Park. The following parks are listed alphabetically with the two open space areas described at the end of this subsection. TOWN OF L O S G A T O S DRAFT PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND TRAIL INVENTORY 1.

For after-school and weekend activities on school properties, LGS Recreation has first priority for field selection after the individual school and, along with the School District, effectively sets the schedule for all other events held on these properties. Although several facilities contain both baseball and multi- use field areas, it is generally considered too dangerous for baseball and other activities to occur simultaneously. Fields at these facilities are either in close proximity to each other or have portions that overlap, and the risk of injury is too high for both activities to coexist. Therefore, most facilities host base- ball from February to July and soccer from August to January. Figure 3, located at the end of this report, identifies the locations of the schools listed below, both public and private, that are within the Town of Los Gatos. 1.
