Consulting firm MIG was awarded the bid for the project. MIG performed a community wide survey, met with stakeholders, held two public meetings, and presented the plan to department heads for comments and input. Changes to the North of the River (NOR) boundaries caused changes to the maps within the Master Plan, resulting in delays to the final document. As an interim measure, MIG presented to the Committee a draft executive summary for review. The summary included methodology, objectives, guidelines, implementations, strategies, and recommended action items to address the community's need for recreational, aquatic and sports facilities and programs. Jim Pickel of MIG thanked staff for their assistance in obtaining information to serve as the basis for the Master Plan. The completed Master Plan document will be presented to the Committee for review at the next scheduled Committee meeting. B. Report on Jastro Pool -Dianne Hoover There is a Council goal to maintain the operating pools within the City. Jastro Pool began to experience significant deterioration and leakage due to its age. Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover presented to the Committee a report which provided an overview of temporary pool repairs, attendance, water usage, estimated cost for continued operation, and staff recommendations. With the assistance of the Public Works Department, staff completed temporary repairs on two major leaks. Although a temporary fix, the repairs enabled Jastro Pool to open to the public for recreational swim and swim lessons from July 9, 2007 to August 3, 2007. Jastro Pool experienced approximately 32,000 gallons of water loss per day. Staff took various actions to find the source of leakage, including: a standard leak test; video camera test; dye test; drilling; air pressure test; aquatic design assessment; and excavation. Due the opening of the McMurtrey Aquatic Center in 2004, Jastro Pool experience significant decline in attendance. The pool was closed during the 2004 season and reopened for eight weeks in 2005, with attendance at 1,002. In 2006, Jastro Pool opened as an instructional pool only, increasing the attendance to 2, 152. As an attempt to increase attendance in 2007, Jastro Pool continued as an instructional pool, offering a new cost-free Jr. Lifeguard program, and family recreational swimming during the evening. Planning and Development Committee August 2, 2007 Page 3 During the four weeks of operation in the summer of 2007, attendance totaled 660. Prior to opening, staff contracted with Aquatic Design Group to provide an assessment and cost estimates for continued operation. The total cost of approximately $2 million would include pool renovation, restrooms and equipment storage renovation to meet ADA compliance. Staff recommends to either temporarily repair Jastro Pool as it is or converting it into a Spray park. The advantages for the new use as a Spray park include: increased attendance; seven months of free daily water play for area residents; longer operational hours; and minimal vandalism due to high usage. Because there is no standing water in the wet play area, lifeguards will not be needed. Cost to install the wet playground is approximately $350,000. Committee member Sue Benham would like staff to provide an average operating cost per person at the other pools, and provide a report of potential problems facing Siemon Pool. Committee Chair Jacquie Sullivan requested that staff provide a map showing the proximity of each public pool within the City. City Manager Alan Tandy added that the Committee is facing three choices; 1) Finding the money needed to rebuild Jastro Pool; 2) Continue with temporary repairs; 3)Relocating the existing pool to another park and creating a Spray park in its place. All Committee members agreed that the daily loss of water is a paramount issue. Committee member Benham also requested that staff provide a preliminary report on other locations in the City for Jastro Pool. 5. COMMITTEE COMMENTS None 7.

Attachmer-t cc: Alan Tandy, City Manager Rhonda Smiley, Assistant to the City Manager Dianne Hoover, Recreation and Parks Director Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION With a consultant team in place, the Ciry of Bakersfield began working on updating its Recreation and Parks Master Plan in the spring of 2006. The purpose of doing a Recreation and Parks Master Plan is two fold. First, it provides the City with an opportunity to assess its past and future growth and where it is in terms of providing the needed facilities and programs to serve that growth. Secondly, it provides the Ciry with an updated Master Plan suggesting policies, park standards, current and future needs assessments, analysis of facility conditions and funding/financial recommendations which results in a current strategic planning document allowing the City to address the needs, issues, and demands for recreation programs, facilities, and parks to better serve the Bakersfield community now and in the future. The updated Master Plan is a tool for City Council and staff to employ when seeking guidelines and strategies to apply to solving problems or resolving issues associated with the difficult job of allocating the City's limited resources in the area of Recreation and Parks. METHODOLOGY A comprehensive effort was made to obtain information to serve as the basis for this document. With the assistance of City staff and other local service providers, an inventory of parks and recreation facilities located within the City was developed. Meetings with Ciry staff and interviews with local organizations, service providers, volunteers, and stakeholders gave the consultant team insights into the community's attitudes and feelings regarding park and tree maintenance, landscape maintenance, park facilities and recreation programs. A statistically valid citywide phone survey was completed to identify the community's satisfaction with recreation and park Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page -ES-i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY maintenance, facilities, programs and their use patterns of City facilities. This provided data concerning recreation program and facility needs from residents all over the City. Field and facility use information was obtained from the various community sport groups and City staff. Finally, public input was also obtained through two Community Input Workshops. OBJECTIVES OF THE RECREATION & PARKS MASTER PLAN / To identify existing and future needs for recreation facilities. To identify existing and future needs for services and programs. / To address financial and location issues related to the dedication or acquisition of park property. / To suggest what improvements or additional amenities are needed in the park system. / To gain community input regarding its perceived needs for recreation and parks. / To explore the community's satisfaction with current park, tree and landscape maintenance. / To identify facility use patterns and propose what facilities the City will need in the future. / To suggest policies and guidelines to use when addressing the issues of allocating limited recreation and park resources. / To propose funding/financing alternatives that could provide an implementation strategy. To develop a long term needs analysis so that the City can set priorities for future improvements and facility development. Page -ES-ii Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan m:' EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION The document is divided into six chapters: CHAPTER 1.0 -PARKS AND RECREATION PLANNING OVERVIEW This Chapter identifies community goals for the Master Plan, contains a discussion of the history of Bakersfield and the project background and purpose and delineates the various plans, policies, and programs that affect the City's park planning process. CHAPTER 2.0 -EXISTING PARKS AND RECREATION RESOURCES 'T'his Chapter includes a list of current recreation facilities, programs and services; an analysis of recreation activities offered in the community; and suggestions on how to enhance service to the community. CHAPTER 3.0 -DEMAND AND NEEDS ANALYSIS This Chapter provides an analysis of both the perceived demand and the actual need for park and recreation facilities and programs. It also summarizes all of the community input and feedback, as well as identifies community issues concerning park facilities and recreation programs. CHAPTER 4.0 -GENERAL POLICY GUIDELINES This Chapter includes general guidelines and policies. that the City can refer to when deciding on issues related to recreation and parks facilities and programs. This chapter can also be used by staff, elected and appointed officials to develop annual goals and objectivities for work programs and to be a source when periodically updating the Recreation, Parks and Trails Elements of the Bakersfield General Plan. Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page -ES-iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CHAPTER 5.0 -FISCAL ANALYSIS The first few sections of this Chapter give an overview and analysis of various opportunities for funding,- financing and developing revenue to implement future acquisition and development projects the City may want to undertake. The remaining sections of this Chapter include a fiscal analysis that addresses funding alternatives; capital funding sources; and a proposed Asset Management program that may provide a long- term strategy that could be used when weighing park improvements and maintenance costs. CHAPTER 6.0 -IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS This Chapter addresses the action or implementation plan. It suggests recommendations to help the City develop and improve adequate recreation facilities to meet community needs and demands. A major emphasis on improving existing facilities as well as developing new facilities on existing parks and possible school properties is included in this Chapter. The acquisition of parkland through the development process is also recommended. This chapter also contains recommendations and action plans for recreation and human service programs. APPENDICES There are several appendices included at the end of the document: / Glossary / Sports Survey Questions / Stakeholder Interview Questions / Community Workshop #1 Results / Community Workshop #2 Results / Telephone Survey Tabulations Page -ES-iv Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXISTING CONDITIONS INVENTORY OF RECREATION AND PARK FACILITIES The park system within the jurisdiction of the City of Bakersfield includes over 50 parks, recreation facilities and trails such as the Kern River Parkway. Table 2-1.1 lists the various park amenities, such as, picnic shelters, sports fields, meeting rooms, swimming pools, basketball courts, etc. at each facility. This information is also available on the Internet and can be accessed through the City of Bakersfield Recreation and Parks home page. MASTER PLANNING PROCESS The Master Plan process was a coordinated effort between City staff and the consultant project team. The process consisted of four major tasks: research, community input, analysis and recommendations. Numerous meetings, interviews, surveys and site visits were included. Hundreds of hours were spent researching and analyzing the data collected. Policies, action plans and recommendations were developed with thought to both physical and fiscal limitations. The desires and requests of stakeholders and the political sensitivities of special interests were considered. Draft sections of the document were reviewed by the project team and discussed with staff. The resulting document is the project team's best effort at identifying the community needs and demands for Recreation and Parks facilities and programs, and matching those needs and demands to recommended improvements, new development and future programming. MASTER PLAN SUMMARY COMMUNITY INPUT Community input into the Recreation and Park Master Plan was obtained a number of ways. Interviews were held with City staff, School District staff, non-profit agency representatives, Kern County officials, youth sports organizations representatives, and other various stakeholders. Two community workshops were held where residents could speak on the issues of facilities, Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page -ES-v EXECUTIVE SUMMARY programs, and services. Surveys were distributed. to stakeholders who were unable to participate in the direct interview process. Finally, a citywide phone survey was conducted to complete the citizen input process. NEW PARK CRITERIA STANDARDS The City will be receiving numerous new parkland dedications through future residential development. It is important for the City to establish park criteria standards so that the parks that serve these future residents are 1) adequately developed with the appropriate amenities, 2) properly located so that they are easily accessible, and 3) built so that the City can easily maintain them in the future. Chapter 4.0 of the Park and Recreation Master Plan provides policies and guidelines derived from past master plans, the City's General Plan and the City's Park Element and Ordinances for park standards for community parks and neighborhood/local parks. The following is a summary of the general criteria for each type of park: COMMUNITY PARKS Community Parks are intended to provide community-wide recreational facilities and a larger variety of recreation opportunities than a Neighborhood Park would provide. Community parks can provide a greater variety of uses such as swimming pools, athletic fields, community/recreation centers, cultural centers, picnic areas and gardens. Community parks also serve the needs of the neighborhoods within close proximity of the park. Usable size for Community Parks is usually between 20 to 40 acres. However, when land is scarce, community-serving facilities can be located on as little as 10 acres. A Community Park usually services several neighborhoods within a radius of three to five miles. Each Community Park should have a minimum base level of development as identified in Chapter 6.11. Page -ES-vi Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NEIGHBORHOOD/LOCAL PARKS Neighborhood/Local parks are intended to provide for the daily recreation needs of residents in the immediate vicinity of the park. Primary uses can include passive open space, active play areas, picnic areas and practice play fields with limited lighted facilities. Usable size is usually between five to 15 acres. Although a neighborhood park should not be less than five net acres in size, the Ciry may be forced to include neighborhood park facilities on 3- to 5-acre parcels (Local Parks) because of either high land costs or lack of available land. The service area for Neighborhood/Local Parks is radius of/4 of a mile. Each neighborhood park should have a minimum base level of development as identified in Chapter 6.11 MEETING FUTURE SPORTS FIELD DEMAND Making better use of existing fields and ensuring that there will be adequate sports field space in the future was a recurring issue during the public input process. There are several ways the Ciry can approach this issue. Chapter 4 contains a number of policies and action items to implement that will provide the community with more field use to satisfy their needs. Some of the suggestions in the Master Plan include: / Developing the Bakersfield Sports Village in the southwest area. / Helping youth sports organizations with grant funds to develop fields and facilities. / Making sure new fields are included in future large park development. / Working with the County and State agencies to develop fields in regional parks. / Exploring opportunities for more sports parks in other areas of the Ciry. / Working with School Districts to develop and share field use when new elementary and middle schools are built. Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page -ES-vii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the community grows with new residential development, the need for adequate sports fields will increase, and the City must position itself to meet this demand. While there is a trend toward individual sports, such as skateboarding, BMX, rock climbing, etc., there will always be a demand for team sports, especially in communities with a high number of young families like Bakersfield.. PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES The City, as well as other organizations, including nonprofit agencies and volunteer group, offers a variety of recreation activities and services to the Bakersfield community. Human and Social Services are also offered by the City and Kern County. An analysis of current recreation programs and activities was undertaken as part of the Master Plan process. The preliminary findings were developed using information from program materials, interviews, the citywide phone survey and Internet sources along with meetings with staff and community members at the public workshops held during the process. The surveys indicated that most residents pursue recreation for fitness and health. The most popular activities that residents currently participate in include: picnicking, walking/jogging, youth sports, instructional classes, swimming programs, and special citywide family events. The suggested policies and guidelines contained in Chapter 4 and the implementation recommendations contained in Chapter 6 of the Master Plan are offered to enhance the provision and coordination of existing services and programs and also assist staff in developing new programs to meet community needs. City staff already has implemented some of the suggested practices at least in some part, and does an excellent job responding to the community's recreation needs. The community satisfaction with the Recreation and Parks Department's programs and activities was very high: more than 80%. Page -ES-viii Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The challenge will be how to continue to respond to a very diverse community and provide the necessary facilities and services efficiently and effectively under current budget constraints. Revenue development must be a major goal for the future to ensure funding for delivery of park and recreation programs and services. The City needs to pursue and utilize all available per capita grant programs from state and federal sources; continually adjust its residential park dedication and in lieu fee program to reflect. current market conditions; consider assessment opportunities to pay for the impact they have on citywide Recreation and Parks systems; consider a park fee for commercial and industrial development; and implement user fees to supplement costs of City assets, services, and programs. By pursuing these funding sources the City will position itself to have the money necessary to meet the future recreation and park facility development demands of the community. PARK AND LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE The public's satisfaction of park and landscape maintenance of existing parks, medians and parkways is very high. Over 80% of residents responded that they are either very satisfied or extremely satisfied with the maintenance level provided by the Recreation and Parks Department. There are a number of reasons for this, but mainly the consultants found it was due to the high degree of dedication to doing a good job and the desire to meet community expectations that has enabled the department to achieve such a high satisfaction rate from the community. The things that the community says it appreciates most from park and landscape maintenance are such things as, repairs of broken items, removal of graffiti, pick up of trash, repair of irrigation systems, cleanliness of restrooms and facilities, park aesthetics, security lighting, and maintaining proper signage. The consequences of not providing adequate levels of park and landscape maintenance include the following: Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan Page -ES-ix EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / Accelerated depreciation of park amenities / Increased crime and vandalism / Increased gang activity / Negative public perception of City operations / Decreased property values surrounding parks Increased renovation costs in the future The City will be taking on the maintenance and operation of several new parks in the future as development occurs and parks are dedicated to the City. It is important for the City to make sure these parks are designed so that they can be easily maintained and with the intent that they will produce revenue to offset their maintenance and operations costs. CONCLUSIONS The City of Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Department has attained a very high degree of satisfaction in the community. The department's attention to community needs, program desires, and maintenance requirements has enabled it to receive very high ratings from the community in the areas of park and landscape maintenance, recreation programming, and provision of needed facilities. The guidelines contained in Chapter 4.0 will enable the department to continue this high degree of service to the community and guide it when it is faced with making program and facility decisions in the future. Chapter 5.0 provides the department with suggestions and information on a variety of funding and financing options that it could pursue in the future to accomplish major facility development. Chapter 6.0 provides recommended actions to implement the defined needs for facilities and recreation programs. While all of the action items contained in Chapter 6 are important and should be pursued by the City, it is unrealistic to believe the City can implement everything right away. The following presents afive- year implementation plan of the priority actions the City of Page -ES-x Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Department should concentrate on based on community and staff input.

Chapter 5 outlines possible methods of funding and developing new revenue to pay for the five-year work plan. The City will need to conduct a review and analysis of these funding options to determine what best suits the City both politically and financially. Page -ES-~ociv Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Master Plan B A K E R S F I E ~ L . D Department of Recreation and Parks Proposed Skate Park Development Report for 10/03/2007 Community Services Committee CURRENT SERVICE LEVEL The City of Bakersfield currently provides one skate park, centrally located, and adjacent to the Kern River Bike Path at Beach Park. The facility was constructed in the year 2000 at a cost of $170,000. It is approximately 14,200 square feet and is considered a beginner/intermediate facility. We are currently working on designs for the expansion of this site. The budgeted amount is $150,000, which includes design and construction. Completion of the expansion is expected in Spring 2008. POTENTIAL FUTURE SKATE PARKS • The proposed master park plan for the Old River Ranch Project includes a 19,000 square foot skate park in one park. This will service as the location for a skate park in the southwest. The skate park will be developer provided in 3-5 years, with an approximate budget of $675,000. • The Master Plan for the Mesa Marin facility location includes a proposed 15,000 square foot site, at a cost of $765,000. The facility will be a phased in project to be completed in 3-5 years. • Another proposed site is East Panama Lane at South Mt. Vernon. This site is proposed to be approximately 20,000 square feet, and the anticipated cost is $675,000. This facility is estimated to be built in 5-8 years. • North Bakersfield Recreation and Parks District is considering a skate park in the northwest. They currently own several future park sites that could support a skate park. One area at Fruitvale -Norris Park is being considered. Currently, there is not a proposed budget or completion date available. "We create a quality community through people, parks and programs" B A K E R S F I E L D Department of Recreation and Parks DATE: September 13, 2007 TO: Alan Tay, City Manager FROM: Dia~e Hoover, Recreation & Parks Director RE: 2007 Summer Season Aquatics Report The highly successful 2007 summer pool season is now complete, and the final numbers of users and revenue are summarized. Attendance The summer of 2007 was a banner season for city pool attendance with a total of 90,986 guests. Last summer season, attendance was 58,616 for all pools; an increase of 32,370. This 55% increase is due to revised swim lessons, more special events and pool rentals. The positive publicity and favorable weather helped boost attendance at all pools. Every city pool in regular operation has increased in attendance: Pool % Increase Jefferson Pool 32% Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Pool 170% McMurtrey Pool 61 Planz Pool 45% Siemon Pool 50% Silver Creek Pool 41 °~ * Jastro Pool was only open for four weeks and did not have an attendance increase. Revenue Along with the dramatic increase in total attendance, total revenue increased by 26%. Last summer, revenue totaled $213,102; this summer revenue totaled $268,565, for an increase of $55,463. While the revenue did not show as big an increase, there were many other factors involved. • Swim lesson fees were lowered at all city pools as part or our revised swim lesson program. • Admission fees were reduced at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Pool • Free swim lessons were offered to children ages 0 to 5 at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Pool as part of a grant from First 5 Kern. • The Discount Swim Pass program, which reduces the recreational swimming fee at all city pools for families meeting HUD income guidelines, was expanded this year. Over 1,200 Discount Swim Passes were distributed. Overall Successes Aquatics staff has done an excellent job this summer in teaching classes and encouraging more open swim times. Some summer events included Free Swim Day, Float-In-Movie, Extreme Teen Nights and Family Fun Nights. Each of these events brought in new visitors to the pool which may have not previously attended. The popularity of the 100 Mile Club at McMurtrey Aquatic Center has kept lap swimmers coming back each day to record their miles. The publicity for the McMurtrey Aquatic Center this past year has been very positive and continues to generate more interest in rentals, swim team usage and further special events. It is our goal to continue to offer the facility as a year-round destination for healthy activities. Attached Charts The attached charts provide visuals on attendance and revenues by pool for the 2005.. through 2007 summer seasons. The last chart is a two page comparison of overall attendance by week at each pool. This is the usual attendance sheet provided in the Department's monthly report. • B A K E R S F I E L D Department of Recreation and Parks City Pool Information Report for 10/3/2007 Community Services Committee 2007 Summer Season Aquatics Report • Overall season summary • Attendance by pool • Revenue by pool Financial & Attendance Summary Summer 2007 • Attendance, revenue, and expenses by pool • Individual pool cost recovery • Average operating cost per person Siemon Pool Report • Pool condition • Attendance history • Programming Planz Pool Report • Pool condition • Attendance history • Programming City Pools & Spray Parks Map • Pool locations • Spray park locations "We create a quality community through people, parks and programs" L O L (D (D N O r O O n C (D ~_ N 7 N ~ N W N N ~ d7 ~ W ~ v W O W ~ ~ W ~ W W 00 N N 00 ~1 W N W W U7 N ~ O N j ^ ~ ~ ~ O O W N O O ~ A W v ~ W W N W W ~ -~ O N N W W ~ v N N C9 N ~ N (D O CO ~ j N .p. ~ ~ CD G (D n -s (D (D ~ ~ ~ 00 00 O O~ Gi t0 N ~ ~ O d7 C~ ~ N W A Cn O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O 1 v cn ~ 1 v cn ~ 1 ~ cn ~ ~ v ~ ~ 1 ~ cn ~ ~ v N ~ -~ ~ cn ~ ~ ~ cn ~ g m o o g m o o~ m o o~ m o o f m o o g cc o o g m o o g m ° Si °- 3 ~ 5i °- ~ " m °- 3 ~ ~ °- 3 " Si °- ~ ~ ~i °- 3 ~ m °- ~ n ~ - ~ ~ ~ N~ N~ ~ N~ r~ N~ r~ N~ r~ N~ r~ N~ r~ N~ r~ r r o o m ~ 0 o m ~ o o m ~ , o o m ~ o o m ~_. o o m f, o o m ~_, o o m~ _, , O(C N O(C N 3 ~ _ , O(C N O(O N N 3 V N 3 O(fl N OfQ N O N ~ V N ~ O(~ N Of0 N O N 3 V N O N V N v o v o O d o ~ o d o v o d o d o ~ ~ ~ o ~ 3 ~ ~ ~ o ~ 0 3 3 ~ N N ~ N ~ N ~ N ~ N ~ N ~ N 3 f0 IG (fl (fl (~ (O (fl (C W N A ~ N OOD A W i O o> ~> W O O N (Nn OD A W W N V W 01 O 01 V N V W A O W> A Ut O OD N CO O N N J CT O O d1 O A tll A O V m 0> t71 OD J O O O O O A W tT -~ W s s tl~ J W A 00 (T j O V N N N A> W Cfl OD J O W J N -~ s Oa Oo O OD ~ O l0 N O O A> W U Ut N N W C)t A O~ Oo N CT f7f O W N ~O J J j t0 O j W A CO A t0 CT W J O J _ p~ > A O O O O O A W fT > W s s OD V W J tJ~ W W O~ A >> A~ CJ~ 0o V > CT O A V7 N s O Oo O Oo V (D N Cn W c0 Cn W ~O CO O O V V N J 00 N dp W O > A p~ > .P O 00 A J J t0 CO Uf CT O O O W > A O V OD N O S t0 O CO O 0 0 0 0 W N tll ~ W s A CT N CT 07 J W CP N > ~> (T C7~ A W V N A N>> tl~ O O O W N N O CT O~ A O J OD CT 01 07 A O OD V7 O A W W O O N N A O Of W N -+ V O O J t0 W 61 (71 O N O Oo Q1 J c0 O O O O O W W A s W 01 A N 00 N Cn s S7f ~ N N Cn p1 CJ~ > > N N O Q7 ? > N c0 O GO OD CT N V N Ut N N OI W O W O O O A V N O Ut O O O N A c0 O CT 00 W O O OD OD O O O O O O N tlf N N OI J N tit >>~ to A> N 00 N W W N 01 N W N>> > W N (fl N W Cn CT W CJi > d) A W W OO O W OD f0 j W W N -' A t0 W CT > _ O1 O O O A CO O o > N N J 00 CO A O V W O W N J J W> N O OI N> N N A W f71 W N OD 01 J W (7t N > OD > j CJ~ N A Q1 U1 > > N > O OD J .A N N CO O Oi N O CO t0 W W O J N W W W N ~ W N CJt CT Cn U7 O A W O A O N O) N V 01 CO c0 N N O Cn J > A OD c0 A CO CT O fT CO O O > A N t0 CT W O J N Cfl N > OD > N W N N A W N ~ > > N N f0 > O CO CT N>~ J O~ J J N N W O O W N O W~ W W O G'i W A O W O CJi A W J V O O J N A W CT OD A A O O A OD Oo W N W N O 01 O N V s > A N N W W N N A OD O N d1 CT O W N W t0 O J A A V d1 O A N N V> W N OD Oo O O OD CO A CT 00 N N A A Oo c0 J <O O O CO > A O» A ? 0 0 O > N J N N N CT W O Vt W W A (D W N tlt ~ O A > > O O N -~ pl -+ W N J A W c0 A O V W 01 O O O O O O tl~ O O O N W -+ W s W N (Wii W > -+ OD > N A A W O) -' A • N -~ O A W 00 07 OD O N O N O O O N N Qo W O 00 N J as O O (D Q1 N W> V A A CO ~ A W W Q> O Gt O iT ~ A OOf J j A V > Cn c0 Cr Cn c0 W A N N Oa Oo c0 Oo J N CO » Cn O N N O O O O W O O 001 V 1 1 v v ~ ~ x ~ ~e 0 0~ m o o~ m ~i °- ~' n ~ °- ~' n ~ r ~ ~ r ~ o m f. o m f. 3 3 m o d o p N ~ (~ CD V > s A 0 ~ ' ~ 07 N A CO 07 W O O 0 j O W J CO W 0 Cb cO 0 O J W 0 > > O > N ' J OD CJ1 N O 07 A O ~ O O J W N W Cn N A O O A A 00 CO ~I 0 ( N W J1 OD A j O W O W O CO V (b A tD ~ W Cn 07 ~ > A O fV ' O 0 W 0 ~I W N A W W A 1 0 31 ~1 0 ao Oo w N w Oo A Ol A V ~ ~ OO (p tO 07 O J V N O CT1 W W O O 0 ~ > N CO N ' ~ A N N (b N O J~ V A i ~ A V U O > > O O A > W 0 ~ ' O N CJl > ~ O ~ O ~ ~ N CO N W N V ~ ' ~ t0 O Cb GT U N W O W N O ?
