\"The tank itself is broken, the tank is broken and two underground water lines are broken,\" Russo said. He said the public works department is evaluating repair approaches and that City Manager Erin Adams asked the item be included in the capital improvements program (CIP) workshop in September for council prioritization.

Russo also reported that the CRC splash pad has experienced short closures for warranty repairs related to the 'life floor' tiles and replacement of fixtures showing early rust. He said staff is working with the manufacturer to replace parts under warranty and that the CRC splash pad remains popular when open.

Commissioners and staff discussed public access: during public‑swim hours the CRC splash pad is accessible through the public swim program and fees apply; outside those hours the splash pad is generally free. Director Russo said staff will provide website links and updated hours to the public.

Public Works will return with estimates and timing for repairs and the council will review the splash pad work during the September CIP prioritization process.

\"The Walter Yost Jr. And the Arts of Sports Photography was installed,\" Mindy Johnson, senior recreation leader and museum presenter, said. Johnson said the exhibit runs through Aug. 17 and highlights iconic images from athletes including Muhammad Ali and Serena Williams.

Johnson reported June Culture Day focused on Iran, which showcased history, traditions, clothing, music and food and drew approximately 250 guests on June 14. She said attendees were able to participate in two art classes and sample traditional dishes such as kubideh and saffron rice.

The museum's \"Out of the Archives\" program in June featured the tools and toolbox of former Old Town resident Al Knott, a blacksmith and farrier who later opened a garage on Front Street; approximately 30 guests attended that presentation.

Johnson told commissioners the museum's field‑trip season for local third‑grade students concluded in June with 1,765 students and about 400 adult chaperones from 26 public and private schools, including a Pechanga‑affiliated school and several homeschool groups. She said June visitor numbers increased about 4.3 percent year over year.

Commissioners thanked museum staff for programming that spans changing traveling exhibits, local artist installations and community‑focused events.

\"In June 2025, we saw a 172% increase on the community outreach team from the previous month, as reach reached 372,700,\" Favela said, adding that the June program mix included 16 photo posts, seven reels, 18 stories and three e‑blasts.

Favela described a recent project producing programs and cast photos for Temecula youth musical theater productions, including The Little Mermaid and High School Musical Jr., and noted a city collaboration that produced special jerseys for a Lake Elsinore Storm promotional night.

Commissioners discussed distribution of press releases. Favela said the city manager's office maintains a master media list used for press releases and that Peachjar is used for school‑focused notices. He told commissioners the largest e‑blast, the \"month at a glance,\" can reach roughly 3,000 recipients and that open rates typically run about 37–39 percent.

Commissioners praised the outreach work and asked staff to continue highlighting community programs and opportunities for broader promotion of museum and cultural events.

\"From 2022 through 2025, we almost averaged 2,000 students per year,\" Sergio Raya, community service manager for the museum, said during a presentation. Raya said that figure represents roughly a 61% increase over the museum's pre-pandemic average recorded from February 2005 through 2020.

Raya outlined how the museum runs field trips: groups of about 60 students are split into two cohorts that swap between the museum's indoor, era-based history galleries and an outdoor walking tour of Old Town Temecula. Tours are offered during typical field-trip hours, roughly 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and are open to public, private and charter schools, homeschool groups and community organizations.

Raya said the museum relies heavily on volunteer docents to run the program. \"We have about four docents on hand to use at any given time,\" he said, adding that the museum currently has nine people in docent training. He thanked longtime volunteers, including one docent identified as the wife of Commissioner Jeff Kingsburg, for sustaining the program.

Commissioners asked how many visiting students come from Temecula schools versus neighboring communities. \"Prior to COVID our visitors were mostly Temecula schools,\" Raya said. \"Coming out of COVID the surrounding cities jumped at the chance to find a local place where kids could have hands-on history.\"

Commissioner Jeff Kingsburg and Commissioner DeGraves asked about scheduling and access. Raya said the museum changed its regular public open days this month and generally will offer tours on Wednesdays and Thursdays; Tuesdays will be considered on an application basis if a school cannot visit on other days. He also said bus costs and school field-trip budgets remain a constraint for some schools.

On virtual access, Raya said the museum is exploring pre-recorded videos and a Temecula Valley Museum YouTube playlist that could serve as a virtual tour, but he did not describe any live-remote field-trip program.

The museum's data collection timeframe cited by staff runs from February 2005 through February 2025. Raya and commissioners emphasized recruiting and training docents as the primary near-term capacity challenge to sustain rising demand.

The museum presentation concluded with commissioners thanking staff and volunteers and inviting further outreach to schools and community groups.

","Museum staff told the Temecula Community Services District Commission that in-person field trips have rebounded since COVID and now average about 2,000 students a year, driving a need for more volunteer docents and accommodation options for schools with limited transportation.","actionData","errors"]
