FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services
DATE: July 29, 2002 (CC Meeting of August 21, 2002)
SUBJECT: Consider Rescinding Approval for Agreements with
Southern California Edison Concerning the
Unimproved Road at Arroyo Vista Community Park
and Signs and Banners.
DISCUSSION
AVCP Road Lease Agreement
On November 17, 1999, the City Council approved a license
agreement with Southern California Edison for the use of
the unimproved road at the east end of. Arroyo Vista
Community Park. As the Council may recall, the road was
primarily used by Edison's tenant, Performance Nursery, to
travel between two portions of Edison owned property.
Edison also used the road occasionally to service its
utility lines.
The purpose of the license agreement was to reduce the
impact of the roads use by Performance Nursery on adjacent
residents by restricting how and when the unimproved road
could be used. The agreement also contained a license fee
in an amount that had not been finalized. A license
agreement was sent to Edison in January 2000 for signature.
The City's attempts to get a signed license agreement were
hampered by Edison's property division. In July 2000,
Edison sent the City its own version of an agreement.
Subsequently, Edison announced that it was planning to
construct an unimproved maintenance road on its property.
Once constructed, neither Edison nor Performance Nursery
would need to use the City road in the future. At that

time, Edison believed it would be able to complete the road
by January 2001.
Having been unsuccessful up to then to securing a signed
agreement, in December 2000, staff was able to secure a
payment from Edison in the amount of $14,000. Of that
amount, $7,400 represented back payment for previous use of
the road. The remaining $6,600 was for rent between
November 1999 and October 2000. Edison did not complete its
planned unimproved road construction as it had hoped,
although each time they were approached on the subject they
indicated that construction was imminent.
Construction on the road began in May 2002 and it is
anticipated that it will be completed by September 1, 2002.
Therefore, staff believes any attempt to secure a signed
license agreement with Edison will not be productive. Staff
recommends that the Council rescind its November 17, 1999,
approval.
Signs and Banners License Agreement
On April 5, 2000 the City Council approved a form of
License Agreement with Southern California Edison Company
for the placement of Signs and Banners on Ornamental Street
Light Poles. This action was taken in response to a request
from the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce for a Banner Program.
Council's approval was subject to final language approval
by the City Manager and City Attorney. The License
Agreement was not completed due to restrictions on such
programs regarding revenues generated by the sponsorship of
the banners.
It is now appropriate to rescind the April 5, 2000 City
Council Action. The matter can be placed before the City
Council at a future date should the City desire to develop
a banner or sign placement program.
STAFF RECOW4ENDATION
Rescind prior approval for the following agreements with
Southern California Edison: November 17, 1999, Lease
Agreement with Southern California Edison regarding the
unimproved road at AVCP and April 5, 2000, License
Agreement for placement of signs and banners on ornamental
street lights.
