MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL -
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager C/
DATE: May 11, 2000 (CC Meeting of May 17, 2000)
SUBJECT: Report from Joint City /MUSD Task Force to Evaluate
Potential Cost Savings
BACKGROUND:
On January 19, 2000, Councilmembers Evans and Harper were
appointed as an Ad Hoc committee to meet with an Ad Hoc committee
of the Moorpark Unified School District (MUSD) Board. The
proposed purpose of the Ad Hoc committee was to explore potential
cost savings. The MUSD Board appointed an Ad Hoc committee
(Board President Barker and Board Member Baldwin) that suggested
the name of the committee as "Task Force for Mutual Community
Benefits" so the meeting could address other issues besides cost
savings.
DISCUSSION:
The two Ad Hoc committees met on May 10, 2000. A number of items
were discussed including:
1. Purpose and goals of the meetings of these Ad Hoc
committees (Task Force) ;
2. The status of the three existing City /MUSD Ad Hoc
committees established in 1997, which are:
A. Casey Road Site and City Participation in Advance
Planning of School Facilities.
B. Crossing Guard Funding and Circulation and Parking
Around Schools Including City Issued Encroachment
Permits for District Events.
C. Joint Use Facilities and Programs (e.g., proposed
tennis courts, D.A.R.E., and Project Pride)
