MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Hugh R. Riley, Interim Deputy City Mana
DATE: May 5, 2000 (Meeting of 5/17/00)
SUBJECT: Consider Formalizing a Commitment to Acquire a
Suitable Site for a Fire Station on High Street.
SUMMARY: City Council action is necessary to provide a
written commitment to the Ventura County Fire Protection
District that the city will acquire and exchange the
necessary property for a fire station on High Street.
BACKGROUND: The Ventura County
(Fire District) has plan
facilities at Fire Station
Fire Protection District
s to
42 on
remodel the existing
Moorpark Avenue across
from City Hall. The primary purpose of the remodel is to
accommodate a larger fire truck and improve living
quarters. In lieu of this remodeling, the City and the
District are working cooperatively to develop a fire
station on High Street in the City's Downtown area. Action
by the City Council is needed to declare the city's intent
and authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the District
committing the City to acquiring the necessary station site
that will be deeded to the District in exchange for the
current station property.
DISCUSSION: To implement this proposal the City would
acquire one, residential parcel and two commercial parcels
with a combined area of 20,000 square feet located at the
northwest corner of High Street and Magnolia Street. This
property would be deeded to the Fire District. The city
would also be responsible for the necessary demolition to
clear the site and for correcting low - hanging utility lines
that traverse the site. The property is shown on the

attached map as "Potential Fire Station Site" and consists
of Parcels 9, 10 and 11 in block 093 APM, Bk. 512, Pg. 09.
(A Property Map is also attached).
In exchange for the deed to the referenced site, the Fire
District will deed to the City the property and the current
fire station on Moorpark Avenue ( "Existing fire station
site ") which consists of Parcel 2 in Block 062, etc. and
contains 22,500 square feet.
The Fire District intends to design the replacement station
with 1900's -style architecture in keeping with the theme
for the city's downtown revitalization program. Design for
the station would commence immediately upon approval from
the Ventura County Board of Supervisors based on the city's
commitment letter to the Fire District. The construction
will be completed within 14 months from the close of the
property transaction.
The formal property acquisition would not commence unless:
1. A firm commitment from the County Board of Supervisors
and the Fire District to build the fire station on
High Street is provided; and
2. The site deeded to the city is a "clean site."
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor to sign a letter
addressed to the Ventura County Fire Protection District
committing to the acquisition of the site for a fire
station at the northwest corner of High Street and Magnolia
Street consistent with this report.
