DATE: September 29, 1998 (City Council Meeting of October 21,
1998)
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of Ordinance No. , Amending Chapter
12.16 of the Moorpark Municipal Code, Resolution No. 98 -_
Adopting Revised Park Rules and Regulations Governing the
Use of the Facilities in Public Parkland, Group
Classifications and Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND:
At the July 6 and September 8 meetings, the Parks and Recreation
Commission reviewed the City documents governing park rentals and
made several recommendations for City Council consideration. This
report serves to summarize and explain the Commission's
recommendation.
The City Council is being asked to adopt an ordinance (Attachment A)
which amends the Municipal Code as it relates to the use of City
Parks. Council is also being asked to rescind and replace Resolution
No. 86 -351 (Rules and Regulations Governing the Use of Facilities in
the Public Parkland) and Resolution No. 93 -950 (Adopting a Park
Reservation Fee Schedule). The proposed resolution (Attachment C)
reflects recommended updates to the Parks Rules and Regulations, group
classifications and fee schedule.
DISCUSSION:
The Municipal Code Revisions
The Parks and Recreation Commission and staff have reviewed the
sections of the Municipal Code related to parks (Chapter 12.16) along
with current park rental issues, and developed some recommendations
for an amendment to the Code. The recommended amendments to the
Municipal Code are presented in legislative format in Attachment B.
These amendments are described below.
Require Permits for Large Groups:
change to the Municipal Code is to
groups using City park facilities.
to have a permit to use a City par
a facility for a specific use, suc
picnic. Drop -in users are required
when a permitted user arrives.

The change has been recommended in response to the growing number
of large drop -in gatherings at City parks. In some cases, these
large drop -in gatherings impact permitted gatherings, organized
activities and maintenance operations. Occasionally these
gatherings result in property damage and /or require excessive
cleanup by City staff.
Requiring large groups to obtain a rental permit would assist in
two ways: 1) It would serve to notify the City when a large group
plans to hold a gathering in a park so that any necessary
arrangements or adjustments can be made, and 2) The City would
collect a nominal fee that would go to offset wear and tear of
park amenities. Therefore, it is recommended that the Municipal
Code be amended to require that groups of over seventy -five (75)
people obtain a permit.
Require Permits for Attractions: Currently, the Municipal Code is
silent on the issue of using attractions in City parks. However,
attractions, in conjunction with a park rental, create particular
problems and require special handling. For example, dunk tanks,
moonbounces and mechanical rides can damage the turf. Pony rides
can result in unsanitary conditions. Often attraction vendors
ignore City cautions about driving across the grass, resulting in
damaged irrigation systems and turf. Therefore, it is proposed
that permits be required for individuals planning to include
special attractions at their events. The permit to use an
attraction at a City Park would be combined with the Park Rental
Permit and would address any restriction that may be imposed.
Additionally, insurance may be required for some attractions.
Clarification Amendments: In addition to the aforementioned Code
amendments, there are several minor Code changes being presented
for Council consideration. The proposed changes include adding
language to the section that addresses park hours, indicating
that the public shall not enter or remain in a park after hours
without authorization; adding hazardous waste to the items that
are prohibited in parks; and striking language concerning
alcoholic beverages, which is consistent with State law.
Staff further recommends amending Section 12.16.120 for the
purposes of clarification. The recommended change takes the
existing section and splits it in two, establishing a section
which addresses fireworks and weapons and creating a separate
section which addresses other prohibited activities.
Resolution Restructuring
The City's Park Rules and
and outline guidelines an,
Recreation Commission and
Regulations and recommend
adopting a new resolution

Regulations are established by Resolution
i fees for the use of parks. The Parks and
staff reviewed the Park Rules and
rescinding Resolution No. 86 -351 and
(Attachment C). The new resolution serves to
.,r�hAr's c,
restructure and make amendments to the Park Rules and Regulations,
update group classifications and revise the fee schedule. These
amendments are described below.
Administrative Revisions: Administrative changes recommended to
the Park Rules and Regulations include adding language that
limits the ability to rent a City Park to individuals 21 years of
age and older; amending the advance rental window from 60 to 90
days prior to the event; extending the City Manager's period to
review a refund deductions, permit revocation or additional fees
from three (3) to five (5) days; citing City Council as the
mediation authority; and requiring a $100 deposit for groups of
over seventy -five people to offset additional maintenance demands
created by large groups.
Furthermore, staff is recommending adding a section referencing
year -end school parties. Each year the City is contacted by
teachers and classes from Moorpark schools to reserve park space
to hold year -end parties. Currently there is no policy for
handling these requests, and it is proposed that one be
established. Staff recommends setting a fee of $5 per hour for
each 40 persons attending. Currently the City is charging $5 per
hour regardless of the number of students. Staff also recommends
that the schools should be required to provide a supervision
ratio of no less than 1:20, and ensure that the facility is
cleaned after use.
Because of size, limited parking and other constraints, it is
also recommended that permitted attractions be restricted to
certain parks. It is proposed that the use of attractions be
limited to Arroyo Vista Community Park, Peach Hill Park, Griffin
Park and Poindexter Park parking lots. Ponies should be
restricted to the Arroyo Vista Community Park parking lot.
Classification of Groups: Staff is proposing changes in the
classification of groups to provide better consistency between
the park rental and the facility (building) rental
classifications. The proposed reclassification provides for park
rentals by other government agencies as well as residents within
the MUSD boundaries. A classification for for - profit activities
is also proposed. These recommendations reflect a broadening of
the park rental classifications.
In the current fee schedule, groups are further classified by the
intended size of the gathering in increments of 50. This proposal
simplifies the procedure by levying a fee for large groups that
reflects the increased maintenance demands generated by larger
groups. The amended classifications are outlined in legislative
format in Attachment D.
Fee Schedule Revision: Staff is proposing a number of changes to
the fee schedule including updating the fees for softball lights,
HCC Park Rules Review Page 3 of 4 v®o22 b
diamond preparation, tennis court rental, multipurpose court
rental and the rental of amenities such as the softball bases,
soccer goals and horse shoes. The fee schedule was also updated
to include a listing of required deposits and additional charges.
Attachment E is a matrix that compares the proposed fees with the
current fees. The recommended fee changes are consistent with
the rental fees charged in surrounding communities for similar
park amenities.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Parks and Recreation Commission and staff recommend that the City
Council introduce for the first reading Ordinance No. amending
Chapter 12.16 Parks of Title 12, Streets, Sidewalks & Public Places in
the Municipal Code and approve Resolution No. 98- adopting revised
Park Rules and Regulations Governing the Use of the Facilities in
Public Parkland, group classifications and fee schedule.
