MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Stephanie Anderson, Recreation Services Manager
DATE: 10/03/2018 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Request from the California Department of
Rehabilitation to Waive Rental Fees for a Job Fair at the
Arroyo Vista Recreation Center
DISCUSSION
The City has received a written request from the Thousand Oaks office of the California
Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) to waive rental fees for the use of the Sycamore
Room at the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center to hold a free, public Job Fair in honor of
the National Disability Awareness Month. The DOR has also requested permission to
post directional signs during the rental time to assist attendees in finding the Job Fair
location. The Job Fair is scheduled for Thursday, October 11, 2018, from 9:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. with an estimated attendance of just over 100. The full rental time will be
8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to allow the DOR’s participating agencies time to set-up and
clean-up their displays.
The DOR is a State agency that has the goal of promoting employment, independence
and equality in the state of California. The Job Fair provides an opportunity for local
businesses to meet with individuals who are looking for employment. The DOR
promotes the Job Fair through local organizations, businesses, schools and other
programs that provide services to individuals with disabilities. The DOR would like to
hold this event in Moorpark due to the central location to cities they plan to target during
this workshop, including Moorpark, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks and Camarillo. As
Moorpark is one of the target communities, staff believes that there is a direct benefit to
the residents of Moorpark from this use.
There will be a minimal direct cost to the City for the set-up and takedown of tables and
chairs for the rental use. Staff estimates that it will take 1.5 hours to set-up and clean-up
the facility. This will incur a cost of approximately $45 in staff time.

Staff does not have the authority to waive rental fees. Since this is a free event and
there may be a direct benefit to the Moorpark residents that attend the event, staff
recommends that the City Council waive the facility rental fees, and require that the
DOR pay for the City’s direct staff costs.
Staff also recommends that the City Council grant permission for the DOR to place
directional signage at the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center and Community Park,
including the park entrance, during the rental hours to assist attendees in finding the
Job Fair location.
FISCAL IMPACT
By waiving the rental fees for use of the facility, including use of chairs and tables, the
loss of revenue will total $445.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1) Approve the rental fee waiver for the use of the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center
Sycamore Room for the Department of Rehabilitation’s Job Fair on October 11, 2018,
and require that the Department of Rehabilitation pay the City’s direct staff costs of
approximately $45.
2) Allow the Department of Rehabilitation to place directional signage at the Arroyo
Vista Recreation Center and Community Park during the rental hours.
