Avila said the department relocated an art walk inside the Civic Center during rain, hosted a splash pad grand opening March 19, and ran a teen egg hunt with nearly 300 participants. Upcoming events include city egg hunts for ages 0–12 at three parks on April 19 and a community expo on April 26.

Avila told commissioners the splash pad has been “absolutely bananas” and otherwise well received, but a regulatory complication has required an operational change. She said inspectors from the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) treat the splash pad’s small, roughly 3-foot-tall slide as a water attraction that would normally require staffing. To avoid continuous staffing obligations, the city is operating that slide without water while seeking an appeal or clarification with the manufacturer, contractor and DOSH.

Commissioners said the DOSH finding appeared unexpected and asked whether the issue should have been raised during planning; staff said they had pushed back with the manufacturer and contractor and are exploring appeals while protecting the city’s otherwise clean inspection record. Staff said the rest of the splash pad remains open and popular.

Commissioners also praised the special events team for outreach and two staff members’ statewide recognition for marketing and community programs.","Millie Avila of Temecula special events reported high attendance at recent spring events and a busy splash pad grand opening.

Bradshaw described the expenditure report as a line-item view of each division’s budget showing available balances, percent used and encumbered funds. She said the PO reports list encumbered funds and associated vendors. The team also runs a biweekly grants analysis to identify opportunities for the city and to funnel prospects to divisions.

Staff described trainings and division binders used for onboarding and operations, and explained Munis, the city’s financial management software, used to encumber funds and pull cross-referenced reports. They said administrative staff centralize agreements and requisition routing for vendor and event work.

Bradshaw and Sizemore summarized recent grant activity. In December the department applied to the county’s Thrive Catalyst grant to fund a new internship/externship program called the Temecula Conservation Fellows; the application was not funded but staff plan to reapply in a subsequent round. In January staff applied to the California Coastal Conservancy’s Explore the Coast grant to fund beach trips for underserved populations (seniors, adults with disabilities, children with disabilities, and an all-community trip); staff expect to hear by June whether the city will receive funding.

Director Russo and staff also addressed the Summer Food Service Program: the city pays costs up front and receives state reimbursement that covers food and overhead. Staff said last year’s direct food cost was about $16,000 with roughly $31,000 reimbursed in total. Staff said they have been monitoring federal and state grant status and that, as of the meeting, the Summer Food Service Program is not slated for cuts this summer.

Commissioners asked for and received clarification on which grants were submitted and on the city’s tracking of grants and federal funding risks.","City administrative staff described monthly expenditure and PO reports, training programs, and recent grant applications, including a Thrive Catalyst county grant and a California Coastal Conservancy grant for beach trips.

Parks Community Recreation Center (CRC) to gauge demand and community impact.

Staff said the program follows the city’s open-gym model used for adult basketball and volleyball and includes a teen-only court area to avoid mixed teen/adult play for liability reasons. Temecula residents attend at no cost; nonresidents pay $3 per visit. New participants sign up for a CRC membership with a $1 processing fee that is valid for about a year.

Sports Division staff said equipment and nets were purchased for the program and that existing pickleball court lines at the CRC match badminton dimensions closely, so the city converted courts by adding nets. Staff reported initial attendance highs—one week with 17 teens and 24 adults—but noted numbers dipped after spring break and when wait times grew because the program initially had only two nets.

Staff said they plan to add a third net to reduce wait times and will reassess program viability at the end of the summer based on attendance and resource use. Commissioners asked about an optimal weekly attendance; staff said consistency and sustainable usage (roughly comparable to other popular open-gym programs) would guide any decision to continue or discontinue the pilot.

The program currently runs Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and staff said they will adapt scheduling if youth leagues or other priority uses require gym space in the fall.

Commissioners thanked staff for the update and encouraged continued monitoring of participation before recommending permanent program changes.","Temecula’s Community Services Department opened a pilot badminton program March 1 at the Ronald J. Parks Community Recreation Center. Staff say the program is in an early, pilot stage, includes separate teen and adult play, charges a $1 processing fee for membership, and will be re-evaluated at the end of summer.","actionData","errors"]
