Mr. Seiwald stated that every club provides some practice space to Bay Oaks. Alameda would provide some space as well. PM McDonald stated that 340 hours were games 398 hours for practice from April to June. Staff is reviewing how permits are issued. Permits will be given out by days, games, and hour. That way staff will know when and where the practices are and will also know who is supposed to be out on the field at that particular time. Director Lillard stated that in prior years staff would issue permits with blocks of time to one person and that person would then parcel out the times and dates to the various groups. Mr. Seiwald stated that Bay Oaks does not plan to have a repeat of what happened in the spring. With the new rules they will manage it appropriately and make sure that there are alameda kids on alameda fields. Commissioner Cooper asked which fields Bay Oaks uses. Director Lillard stated that it changes from season to season, scheduled field renovations, etc. Commissioner Brown stated that she is concerned that with the drought issue we are looking at the possibility of damaged fields. If we start looking at exceptions there will be others who will make the same types of requests and then we are putting the Recreation & Park Department in a position of trying to make exceptions for other groups. M/S/C MARIANI/BROWN (approved) "That use of City of Alameda fields be limited to Alameda residents only during these drought restrictions. Groups allowed to use the fields are: Recreation Department, AUSD Schools, and Alameda non-profit organizations with 75% residents. Groups not meeting the requirements are not allowed to use fields during this time. Policy will be reviewed in 90 days or sooner."

Issues include: Safety concerns created by old rusty metal type chairs being left in the park. Vandalism - Chairs often end up in neighbor's yards, tennis courts, or on the property owned by the East Bay Regional Park District.
