The fee waiver request includes use of six softball fields at various times throughout the weekend, with no more than four fields being used concurrently, four sets of softball bases, and equipment used to prepare the fields. Additionally, the Kiwanis Club is also requesting permission to operate temporary concession stands during the tournament. Approval of the request would be consistent with previous actions taken by the City Council for past softball tournaments sponsored by Kiwanis for the purpose of raising funds for community programs. DISCUSSION As they did last year, the Moorpark Kiwanis Club is planning a Girls Softball Tournament in conjunction with the American Softball Association. Kiwanis has requested use of the fields at Mountain Meadows, Peach Hill, and Arroyo Vista Community Park (Sunday only) between the hours of approximately 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. It is anticipated that games will be completed by 7:00 pm. Additional sites are being coordinated through the Moorpark Unified School District. Staff concurs with the dates and times requested by Kiwanis with the exception of Mountain Meadows Park. Consistent with the use of the park by Girls Softball, staff purposed that the start time for this park be set for 9:00 a.m. This Softball Tournament serves as a major fundraising event for the Kiwanis Club.
