ATTACHMENTS Clyde 2011 Annual Rpt CITIZENS' ADVISORY COMMITTEE M-16 CLYDE PARKS REPORT TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS December 18, 2011 Gentlemen: The Citizens Advisory Committee for County Service Area M-16 (Clyde Parks) wishes to present our report of accomplishments for calendar year 2011 and objectives for the upcoming year. Regrettably, due to the cost overruns in the completion of Phase I of Big Oak Tree Park in 2009, there are no funds in M-16 with which to accomplish any substantial improvements, nor are the funds available in Z-37 to maintain the parks in as nice a condition as the community might wish. Therefore, our emphasis in 2012, as it has been in 2011, will be on using volunteers to the greatest extent possible to maintain our parks and to seek donations with which to accomplish any necessary capital expenditures. 2011 accomplishments: . Members whose terms were expiring have expressed their willingness to continue on the committee. Supervisor Glover's office is posting the required notices and will send the appropriate documents to the members whose terms are expiring. .The regular Clyde Parks column in our Newsletter as a means of keeping the community advised of our activities was continued. . Using volunteers and donations, Maybeck, Marie Porter and Big Oak Tree Parks were trimmed and weeded. Our Public Works' maintenance crew continued to mow and edge Clyde Park and provide pickup of trimmings and the parks' refuse containers and did other needed work as their time and funds allowed. . While not actually an M-16 park, the long-awaited Clyde Pedestrian Path (Railroad Trail) was completed this year. Final approval from DTSC will not occur until 2012. Formal written will finalization will follow. . Using volunteer labor and donated materials, a temporary substitute tennis net was installed at Clyde Park. While not meeting ATPA standards, the net is a great improvement and, as it is made from leftover construction fencing from the Railroad Trail, it is even color-coordinated to the pomegranate flowers along the fence line. . It was brought to our attention by a resident whose children play at Clyde Park, the "fibar" wood chips at the play equipment had lost volume and needed to be supplemented. As there are no funds available to accomplish this, requests for donations were initiated to the Clyde Civic Improvement Association, which garners annual support from Tesoro Golden Eagle Refinery, and California Pacific Credit Union. The CCIA was unable to help this year, but may be able to fund the project during F.Y. 2012. California Pacific Credit union is reviewing our request. April 3, 2012 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 498 page 2 of 2 Attendance: No meeting were held. 2012 goals and objectives: . Continue the use of Newsletter items to inform, generate interest in and opportunities for volunteerism, and encourage communication between the Committee and the community . Incorporate, to the extent possible, the use of volunteers such as the Girl and Eagle Scouts and other community individuals, groups and businesses to lessen the budgetary impact of improvements and maintenance of our parks . Replace fibar chips at the playground equipment at Clyde Park as funds become available. . Plan for other needed improvements such as replacing the tennis net at Cyde Park and exploring the possibility of completing the improvements to Big Oak Tree Park (adding the playground equipment identified as Phase II in the original park plans) as funds become available. Thank you for your continuing interest in and efforts on behalf of our small community. It is our hope that we, in turn, can bring a continually improved system of parks in Clyde to the future of our area of the county. Sincerely, Cindy Welles, President  April 3, 2012 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 499
