Department of Park Historical si ! & Recreation Report put at Red Dog, YouBet comin SACRAMENTO — A final public discussion on the Point Mugu State Recreation Area will be held in Santa Monica Tuesday, February 2, the California Department ‘of Parks and Recreation has announced. , The meeting will be the last before official action is taken on the proposed development plan for the area at the regularly scheduled meeting of the State Park and Recreation Commission in Oroville, Butte County, on February 11, according to Department Director William Penn. Mott, Jr., who will conduct the Santa Monica session, Mott said the Commission would not have time to hear further public testimony at its regular meeting, and was taking this step to allow people in the Los Angeles area an additional chance to express their views. "This is the fifth meeting we've held on this subject," Mott noted. "We've given everyone ample opportunity to state his position, and have made a number of modifications in our plan as a result, The decision should not be delayed any longer." The meeting is scheduled from 1 to 5 p.m, in the East ‘Wing Conference Room of the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium at Pico and Main Streets, Santa Monica. The proposed plan will leave more than 90 per cent of the 6,540 acres undeveloped except for riding and hiking trails, and will include a 150-acre reserve to protect stands of native grasses valued by botanists, Mott stated. Archeological sites anh by UCLA and Department archeologists will be proected. , Principal development will be in the upland La Jolla Valley, where camping and related facilities will be distributed, and along the two-mile stretch of ocean beach, where parking, sanitary facilities, and a snackbar concession will be located. Plans for#the freeway. itself are indefinite, the Director was told by the State Division of Highways at an earlier public meeting, so the multistoried parking-and-motel structure designed to straddle a proposed freeway along the beach has been dropped. Also dropped from plans is a proposed golf course for the ua Jolla Valley area, Instead, the irrigated open space, needed % MORO. eg EEE GO ne enor ee. ay eet for fire protection, will be the setting for group camping units. This will allow the shifting of a 100-person group camping ‘site from an area now to be preserved for native grasses. It will also provide space for four additional group camping areas, each serving 50 persons, 2 The plan continues to provide 100 tent campsites, 120 trailer campsites, and 175 sites for pickup campers. Fifty cabins will be provided for people who do not have camping equipment. A camping supply store, similar to the type at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, will be included to serve campers' needs, n The plan also includes 150 units for family picnicking, plus a group area for 150 people, A youth hostel to accommodate 100 young hikers and bicyclers is also planned, Recreational facilities in the La Jolla Valley area will include a 4-foot-deep recreation swimming pool and a simple enclosed shelter for recreational activities and interpretive programs during inclement weather. Proposed court facilities for tennis and other games have now been deleted, Mott noted. An environmental educational center, patterned afterAsilomar State Conference Grounds but smaller in scope, will house up to 240 conference-goers overnight, and provide meeting space for up to 500, Emphasis will be on conservation education with special attention given school groups. A 100-acre recreation vehicle area will be developed in the northernmost corner of the area, about a half mile northeast of Wovds Canyon and about ‘two air-miles and two ridges from the camping area in La Jolla Valley. ~ An equestrian center will be built at the southeast corner of the park, at the head of Big Sycamore Canyon and about one mile south of the Woods Canyon entrance. kt will have camping for 32 persons and facilities for stabling horses. From it, there will be access to 15-to 30 miles of riding and hiking trails, including a major trail down Big Sycamore Canyon to the sea, A bicycle trail will roughly parallel this route. A small archery facility will be located at an old quarry off the La Jolla Canyon Road. Proposed facilities for model airplanes and a marksmanship range have been dropped, Mott said. { At full development some 15 years hence, total use for the entire state recreation area is expected to reach about 22,000 on peak days, with about three-quarters of this attendance at the beach, Mott estimated. To date, the State has invested $16.6 million in acquisition of the site. Another $3.2 millio: is scheduled for sewer and water lines and road construction th*s year. The land was purchased with funds from the 1964 State Park Bond Act. Bond funds will also be used for initial development of basic utilities and roads. The Department hopes to have the area open for public use in 1974, : A small campground at the mouth of Big Sycamore Canyon was operated as a temporary facility last year, and will be continued until permanent facilities become available elseThe first Nevada county historical markers will be placed in the colorfully-named ghost towns of Red Dgg and You Bet. The old mining camps, located in southwestern Nevada county, will receive several markers courtesy of the Nevada County Historic Landmarks: Commission and the Colfax Highway Association, which is helping pay the cost. Sally Lewis, head of the commission, told the ‘supervisors by letter this week that. the markers .will be installed as permanently as possible, but signs also should be erected warning people that it is illegal ‘to deface or steal such markers, She asked that the road department provide the warning signs, and the board agreed to have this done. Other business handled by the board Tuesday included these items: — An assignment of contract to do laboratory work for Nevada General Hospital was approved. The county had contracted with Grass Val Laboratories, but that firm has been sold to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Corp., so the. contract was assigned to the new owner. — Agreements were approved to pay Nevada City $384 for use of the downstairs part ofthe city library for the county demonstration headquarters and $100 for a room in Truckee Methodist Church, temporary home of the branch library there. — Chairman Dean Lawrence, saying she wanted advice on the value of 1915 acts bonds independent from attorney Edwin Ness, asked Auditor John Trauner to prepare a report on this subject. "This firm is being employed time after time to carry assessment districts through. I would like to know the effect to the county on 1915-act bonds," she said, County Counsel Leo Todd, who said he originally recommended the bond counsel, defended Ness. as having "a reputation and legal ethics of the highest caliber." He said some counties have had "sad situations" with other bond attorneys. Mrs. Lawrence said she is not doubting Ness' integrity but wants an independent viewpoint because "I have a picky, picky mind and am worried." — Todd was instructed to revise the contract with Sierra Memorial. Hospital for emergency indigent cases to make certain there is a clause requiring that the county medical director has final authority to have such people moved to Nevada General after 72 hours. She said indigents have been kept at Sierra for periods up to 10 days,

Todd said he will recommend against allowing the school to locate here “unless we can be sure in our own mind that the county will be free of potential liability." — Trauner reported that he has completed the audit of the guardian's books, required because of the retirement of Nellie Kammerer and the shift of this function to the social services office. "We found no discrepancy in the books" Trauner said and established the accountability. of the fund for the new. office. — Donald Qualls resigned as ' district four representative to the Nevada Cemetery District board because of the press of other business. The board accepted his resignation with regret and vofed to send Qualls a certificate of appreciation. Supervisor Larry Filer said Qualls had done a "wonderful job."
