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.

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
