4. PUBLIC COMMENT:
None.
5. PRESENTATION /ACTION /DISCUSSION:
A. Consider District Status Report on Bond Protects.
President Cabriales thanked everyone for their support
of the school bond projects, which benefit the entire
community of Moorpark. He introduced Dr. DePasquale.
District Superintendent DePasquale acknowledged
Campaign Chair Ron LaGuardia, the City Council, and
Moorpark residents for their efforts in getting Bond
Measure R passed in March 2002. He introduced
architect, Jim McGregor, Jim Stenson and other staff
members from the District's architectural firm. Steve
Hayward, Director of Maintenance and Operations was
also acknowledged for overseeing the projects.
Mr. McGregor provided a PowerPoint presentation on the
projects completed during the summer and a preview of
a new school in Moorpark Highlands. He indicated that
all of the District's schools benefited from either
Bond Measure R, which was passed in March or
previously approved State program funds.
President Cabriales stated that the School Board wants
to maximize the bond dollars while working in
cooperation with the City. He expressed concern
regarding how the School Board can keep the City
informed of future projects in order to expedite
completion and cited recent fee assessments for the
high school parking lot, which created delays.
In response to President Cabriales, Mayor Hunter
stated that the City does not want to see projects
delayed and suggested that the Joint Ad Hoc Committees
already in existence could assist in moving projects
forward as quickly as possible.
In response to President Cabriales, Mayor Hunter
stated that the amount of time needed for the City to
review projects will depend on their complexity. He

and MUSD Board of Education
Moorpark, California Pace 3 Auaust 27. 2002
also stated that not all projects would need to be
reviewed on an individual basis, and projects with a
similar timeline for completion could be grouped
together so that the City can move them through the
various departments for approval in a timely manner.
President Cabriales stated that it is also important
to consider the City's requirements for engineering
plan review.
Mayor Hunter stated that the City wants to minimize
the fees assessed to the District so that the dollars
can be applied to capital projects rather than fees.
He went on to state that the Ad Hoc Committees could
discuss the terms of financial assistance in greater
detail.
Councilmember Harper echoed the Mayor's comments and
then introduced Barry Hogan, Community Development
Director. He went on to state that projects will move
forward more expeditiously now that the Community
Development Department is fully staffed.
Mr. Pollock stated that the District is accustomed to
working with the State and scrutinizes construction
costs very carefully. He also stated that while it is
good to be working with the City, especially on
watershed and drainage issues, what has been
surprising is the number and size of the fees. He
stated that it would be helpful if there were a better
understanding of how and why these fees are accessed.
In response to Mr. Pollock, Mayor Hunter stated that
it would be beneficial for the District to know those
costs up front and the City could help by providing a
Fee Schedule to attempt to estimate fees for the
District.
Mr. Baldwin stated that the Board is concerned about
the fee structure and cited a comparison of the fees
charged by the City and those charged by the State for
the construction of the parking lots. He went on to
state that it would be helpful if there were better
communication on how the fees are calculated.
Minutes of the City Council
and MUSD Board of Education
Moorpark, California Paqe 4 August 27, 2002
Ms. Yaras expressed concern regarding how fees are
calculated and stated that a more detailed accounting
would be helpful.
President Cabriales stated that previously there may
not have been enough dialogue regarding projects and
concurred with Mayor Hunter's suggestion of Joint Ad
Hoc Committee meetings to assist in expediting project
completion.
In response to Ms. Yaras, Mayor Hunter stated that a
more detailed accounting of costs would be provided by
the City in the future.
B. Consider District Status Report on School Site in
Specific Plan No. 2 (Morrison Homes /Pardee).
Dr. DePasquale stated that the goal is to open
Moorpark Highlands School in September 2005. He
stated that he hopes that the new committee structure
will help expedite this goal, since there is concern
about housing the number of students coming on -line in
Moorpark. He went on to describe the benefits of the
kindergarten to eighth grade (K -8) concept, which
allows the District maximum flexibility to convert
these types of schools to sole middle school or sole
elementary school campuses as the population in
Moorpark changes. He described the attendance at
Moorpark Highlands to include residents of the
adjacent development as well as "by choice" enrollees
from the surrounding community of Moorpark.
Mr. Stinson, architect for the District, gave a
presentation on the preliminary plan for the K -8
school designed to house 900 students on a 22 -acre
site in Specific Plan No. 2 (SP -2), adjacent to the
community park. He elaborated on the preliminary site
plan showing the three access points to the campus.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Dr. DePasquale stated
that some of the benefits of the K -8 concept are that
it keeps families and siblings together for nIine
years; middle school age students on campus receive..
the same kind of attention as their younger siblings;
and research shows that there are social benefits for
the middle school students as well as higher test

scores. He went on to state that the K -8 concept will
receive further study by the Vision 2010 Citizens
Committee and that the Board will consider this matter
on September 10th.
Councilmember Mikos stated that she is in favor of the
K -8 concept and has had personal experience on such a
campus both as a child and later as a teacher. She
went on to state that as a member of the
Transportation and Streets Committee, she looks
forward to options in the circulation design for
access to this campus, which will avoid impacts to the
neighbors.

Mr. Baldwin expressed concern that a future roadway
for gravel trucks may be designed to be above grade,
and it. would be preferable if it were below the grade
of the school site.
Mr. Stinson stated that the preliminary plans show a
row of trees along the east side of the site, which
will help to screen any future roadway.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Dr. DePasquale
stated that there has been some discussion with the
City Manager and the SP -2 developer regarding joint
use of the park site.
President Cabriales stated that this is the perfect
project to work on together with the City, especially
due to the challenges with the site, in regard to
utilities and the elevation. He cited Walnut Canyon
School's circulation plan and parking lots as a model
for this campus. He indicated that there may have to
be a gradual phasing into a K -8 campus, due to the
reluctance of sixth, seventh and eighth grade students
at Mesa Verde or Chaparral Schools to leave their
current locations.

Minutes of the City Council
and MUSD Board of Education
Moorpark, California Pacfe 6 Auaust 27, 2002
Mr. Kueny stated that the developer is committed to
delivering the school site in Phase I, including the
utilities with completion of grading by September
2003; the State Route (SR) 23 study is underway
regarding alignment and will include the roadway east
of the school; the design of "A" Street will allow
parking on both sides of the street as well as bike
lanes; and the City will want to look at an access
between the school and park to allow use of the
parking lot at the park for special school events.
Councilmember Mikos stated that consideration should
be given to the horse trails through SP -2 with
entrances into the park and their proximity to the
equestrian center at Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park.
Mr. Baldwin questioned the need for security fencing
between the school campus and the park as is the
current condition on several other school campuses.
In response to Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Kueny stated that it
is ultimately up to the School District to decide, but
with proper planning, it is possible to locate the
sports fields outside the fence line.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Dr. DePasquale
stated that in discussions with Baldwin Homes, the
developer of North Park Village, 12 -acres are planned
to be offered for a possible school site. He also
stated that a 12 -acre site will only accommodate an
elementary school, and he is suggesting Baldwin Homes
consider 15 -16 acres to allow for the option of a K -8
school or a middle school.
Councilmember Harper stated that in conversations with
Mr. Baldwin, he was told that the School District
could have whatever size site they wanted.
In response to Ms. Yaras, Mr. Kueny deferred to the
City Engineer to clarify the preliminary study
conducted on the height of the SR -23 roadway planned
to the east of SP -2.
Mr. Walter Brown stated that the issue of the steep
vertical alignment of SR -23 is based on starting SR -23
from east Los Angeles Avenue near Crawford Canyon, and
Minutes of the City Council
and MUSD Board of Education
Moorpark, California Paqe 7 Auqust 27, 2002
on up to the higher elevation near the school site.
He also stated there is a great deal of excavation to
perform, which produces spoil material, and that the
developer's engineers state that they can accept some
of the spoil material. He stated the City is working
with the developer's engineers to look at lowering the
elevation of SR -23, but that in order to reach the
northerly terminus, the road needs to elevate at an
even gradient to match the elevations at the end.
In response to Mr. Kueny, Mr. Walter Brown stated that
the northerly limits of the study bring SR -23 into the
existing SR -23 at the wide curve at Broadway.
In response to Ms. Yaras, Mr. Walter Brown stated that
the City is also concerned about noise pollution near
the school and design considerations are underway. He
explained that fairly low sound walls can be installed
with the road up high, and if the roadway were
depressed, it would also cut down on some of the
noise. He went on to state that trees are very poor
sound attenuators and a dense material such as a
cinder block or concrete block wall is preferred.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that rather than
installing a large unsightly wall and creating a huge
slope, which will require landscaping and maintenance,
the preference should be to lower the roadway to a
level to attenuate noise.
Councilmember Mikos concurred with Councilmember
Wozniak regarding lowering the roadway and expressed
concern as to whether this location will be a
temporary bypass for trucks and eventually configured
by Caltrans as a continuation of the SR -23 freeway.
Mr. Kueny stated that this is an important conceptual
study, because if the Council does choose to lower the
roadway, it would require the grading scheme for the
project to be revised to spread more dirt over more of
the site. He went on to state that it would be best
to make a decision before the end of the year to avoid
delaying the project.

C. Consider D.A.R.E. Program.
President Cabriales stated that the D.A.R.E. program
was cut from the District's budget and a discussion of
whether or not to continue this program next year is
needed as the amount of time taken from educational
programs is of concern to staff members who have new
and pressing State programs, which take priority.
Councilmember Harper stated that he voted along with
the Mayor and other Councilmembers to extend the
D.A.R.E. program for one year solely with City
funding, even though he had some hesitation. He
indicated that studies conducted by universities do
not show the program is effective.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Dr. DePasquale
stated that the research is unclear, but D.A.R.E. does
give law enforcement a positive image in the mind of
young students, and that despite the budget cuts, the
District does value the D.A.R.E. Program. He stated
that if the D.A.R.E. program is not funded, Resource
Officers are an option. He recommended that this be a
subject for discussion by the Ad Hoc Committees and
stated his own priorities, as a Superintendent, would
be first to have a Resource Officer at the high
school, second a Resource Officer at the middle
school, and lastly the D.A.R.E. program.
Mayor Hunter stated that it would be difficult to
quantify the success of D.A.R.E. in diverting students
away from potential substance abuse. He stated that
there is a need for a D.A.R.E. -like program, which
along with continuing to divert students from
substance abuse would also teach social skills,
decision making skills, and the enhancement of self
esteem. He stated that he would like to have the City
partner with the School District to have a dialogue
regarding curriculum, he concurred with Dr. DePasquale
that there is value in having a Resource Officer in
the high school and middle schools, and suggested a
separate Ad Hoc Committee be formed for the purpose of
discussing this issue. He went on to state that the
Sheriff's Department needs to know as soon as possible
0000 "®
Minutes of the City Council
and MUSD Board of Education
Moorpark, California Page 9 August 27, 2002
whether this program will continue so that they can
deal with staffing issues.
Mr. Pollock stated that regardless of what program is
decided upon, the School District is required by law
to have a certain number of hours dedicated to
substance abuse education.
Dr. Cantrell stated that despite the economic
realities, the District will strive to incorporate
D.A.R.E. values into the curriculum, such as reading
stories at the elementary level and writing essays to
clarify values about drugs at the upper class levels.
She went on to state that if the D.A.R.E. program is
not continued beyond next year, the District is
discussing integrating D.A.R.E. -like education into
the existing curriculum, such as health classes, to
create a seamless transition. Dr. Cantrell went on to
emphasize the need to include children younger than Stn
graders in this education and to continue to involve
the parent community to support the same values.
Councilmember Mikos stated that she hoped any
D.A.R.E. -like program would still include the personal
involvement of police officers, since their influence
on the youth is such a positive experience.
Mayor Hunter stated that he agrees with Dr. Cantrell
regarding involvement of students at an earlier age
and went on to ask if the Board has any interest in
reinforcement at the high school level with a
formalized program using the Resource Officer.
Mr. Baldwin concurred with Mayor Hunter regarding the
importance of formalized training at the high school
level. He stated that he feels that there should be
classroom involvement with the Resource Officer, but
expressed concern that the funding for the officer
will expire at the end of this school year. Mr.
Baldwin suggested a comprehensive approach to funding
not only the D.A.R.E program, but the continued
presence of Resource Officers on campus should be the
focus of the Ad Hoc Committee discussions.
Dr. DePasquale went on to describe the Ventura model,
which is a K -12 program called "Here's Looking at
hQC® 7 1
Minutes of the City Council
and MUSD Board of Education
Moorpark, California Page 10 August 27, 2002
You ", which includes a Resource Officer at all grade
levels. He stated that it is important that a
uniformed officer spend some time on the elementary
school campus.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that the D.A.R.E. Program
does work, the first priority for funding should be to
have Resource Officers stay on all campuses to help
with peer pressure and bullying, and the second
priority would be to look at the curriculum for other
types of programs such as the one in Ventura.
Councilmember Harper concurred regarding maintaining
the Resource Officers on campus. He stated he would
like to see funds spent wisely and that the presence
of uniformed police is advocacious.
Ms. Yaras stated it is wonderful to live in a
community where there is a unified effort to provide
the young people with an awareness of the negativity
of outside influences and thanked the Council for
their cooperative efforts.
President Cabriales concurred that the D.A.R.E.
Officer is a role model whose relationship to the
students is important. He asked for a long -term
commitment from both sides that the D.A.R.E. Program
not be watered down.
Mayor Hunter and President Cabriales asked for
volunteers to serve on the D.A.R.E. Ad Hoc Committee.
Mindy Yaras, Tom Baldwin, Mayor Patrick Hunter and
Councilmember Clint Harper stated that they would like
to volunteer to be on the Ad Hoc Committee.
CONSENSUS: It was the consensus of the Council and the
Moorpark Unified School District that Mindy Yaras, Tom
Baldwin, Mayor Patrick Hunter and Councilmember Clint
Harper be appointed to serve on the D.A.R.E. Program Ad Hoc
Committee.

testimony, and close the public hearing; 2) Adopt
Resolution No. 2002 -2023 approving Major Modification No.
3 to Commercial Planned Development 89 -01, subject to
Conditions of Approval.
Mr. Hogan gave the staff report.
In response to Mr. Hogan's request, Mr. Montes commented
on the late correspondence received from the co-
applicant's attorney expressing opposition to Condition
No. 5, which requires a reciprocal access easement. He
suggested removing Condition No. 5. He went on to
recommend adding a condition of approval to include
language that the approval of the modification to the CPD
is not a consent to an alternative use of the property
within the meaning of Section 312 of the Disposition and
Development Agreement (DDA), as amended.
Mayor Hunter opened the public hearing.
Chris Henno, Maverick's Sports Club and Cinema, 107
Jefferson Avenue, Ventura, gave an overview of the
proposed combined fitness center and theater.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Henno stated that
Signature Theaters, which operates over 200 movie
screens, mostly in northern California, will be the
vendor for the three - screen theater.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Henno stated that he is
in agreement with all conditions of the project except
for Condition No. 5.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Henno stated
that the fitness center will be open to the general
public and is not limited solely to club members. He
went on to state that in order for the swimming pool to
be designed to accommodate the high school water polo
team, additional support would be needed from the School
Board and from the City of Moorpark.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Henno stated that the
Ventura facility is located in a smaller building without
a theater or swimming pool; that they also have gyms in
Portland and in Concord; and that each fitness center
they build is unique, hence the name `Maverick's ".
John Newton, a Moorpark resident and local business
person, spoke in favor of the reciprocal access for

public safety reasons and for the benefit of all who use
the two shopping centers.
Doug Frazier, a Moorpark resident, stated that he is not
opposed to the project. He went on to state that he is
concerned regarding the pre -sale of tickets prior to
project approval; that there are no speed humps to slow
traffic; and that there will be increased traffic on
Sierra Avenue due to the number of patrons using the
theater and swimming pool.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Hogan stated that the
applicant proceeded at his own risk with respect to the
theater demolition, advertising, and pre -sale of tickets.
Mr. Henno apologized to the Council and the residents for
jumping the gun and stated that they would remove the
advertising signs immediately.
Councilmember Mikos stated that the pedestrian
improvements recommended by staff will be welcome
additions to the neighborhood.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Gilbert stated
that speed humps in private parking lots are not
uncommon; speed humps are hardly ever used on a public
street; and that the City has not adopted speed humps as
a traffic calming program for public streets.
Councilmember Mikos stated that she would support having
speed humps installed on the long stretch of asphalt in
the parking lot.
Councilmember Harper stated that the proposal is a unique
mix of uses, which is a welcome addition to the
community. He indicated his concerns about the loss of
the reciprocal access and stated his intent to continue
to support this access in the future for easy
ingress /egress from the property.
Councilmember Millhouse welcomed the applicant to the
community and stated that these uses will be well
received by the residents who have been lacking a local
theater and this unique health club. He predicted that
the traffic impacts will be less than what would have
occurred with a successful eight- screen theater in the
same location. Councilmember Millhouse concurred with
Councilmember Harper's and Mr. Newton's concerns
regarding the removal of the reciprocal access. He
() el 1 0 7 7
Minutes of the City Council

encouraged the applicant to continue to work with the
School District and possibly partner with the City to
pursue the issue of the aquatic facility. He stated his
support of the project, subject to the conditions in the
staff report and stipulations provided by the City
Attorney.
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Wozniak stated his concerns for the impacts
of traffic on the neighborhood and suggested bringing
back to the Council the subject of what warrants the
installation of speed humps on residential streets.
Mr. Kueny stated that the traffic conditions are no
different, in terms of rolling stop signs or speeding, in
this neighborhood than they are in any other; that there
is no neighborhood consensus for installing speed humps;
and that the intent of the Transportation and Streets
Committee was to bring the issue of closing off the
street before the Council once the signal is installed at
Shasta and Los Angeles Avenues.
In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Kueny stated
that the installation of the traffic signal should be in
approximately two years in conjunction with the Pacific
Communities project construction.
A discussion among the Councilmembers followed regarding
Standing Committee reports coming back to the City
Council to provide neighborhood feedback to all
Councilmembers and in this case, for the preparation of
an historical evaluation of traffic calming measures that
have been analyzed.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated that the
access from the residential neighborhood through the
commercial project was provided in this manner to allow
adjacent residents safe access to the market and other
stores and the ability to make a left turn onto Los
Angeles Avenue at a signalized intersection.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Councilmember Mikos stated
that one of the options considered by the Transportation
and Streets Committee was access into the center with no
egress out; that there was no neighborhood consensus at
the committee meetings even though a substantial number
of residents were in attendance; and that the Committee
was successful in getting the Mission Bell Center owner
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 6 November 6, 2002
to pay for the installation of the speed hump at the exit
onto Lassen Street.
Mayor Hunter stated that this would seem to meet the
objective by reducing the incentive for other than
residents to use that driveway.
Councilmember Millhouse stated that there were a number
of other concerns addressed, which could be discussed at
a future meeting such as the increased traffic at the
other end of the facility.
MOTION: Councilmember Millhouse moved to adopt a Resolution
approving Major Modification No. 3 to Commercial Planned
Development 89 -01, subject to conditions of approval, as
modified to delete the reciprocal access requirement and add
the language recommended by the City Attorney that approval
should not be construed as a consent to an alternative use of
the property within the meaning of Section 312 of the DDA, as
amended.
Mr. Hogan asked to add further clarification to Condition
No. 6 to indicate that the terminus of the sidewalk on
Lassen Street is at the northwest corner of the site and
for Condition No. 8 that the location of the speed hump
be in the travel aisle behind the theater and market
buildings at the connection to Lassen Street.
Councilmember Millhouse concurred with those additional
changes and Councilmember Harper seconded the motion. The
motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
B. Consider General Plan Amendment No. 2002 -04, Zone Change
No. 2002 -04, Major Modification No. 1 to Tentative Tract
Map No. 5307, and Minor Modification No. 1 to Residential
Planned Development No. 2001 -01, a Request for a Change
in Land Use Designation from M (Medium Density
Residential) to VH (Very High Density Residential), Zone
Change from R -1 (Single Family Residential) to RPD 9.1
Dwelling Units /Acre, the Addition of Three Lots to an
Approved 22 -Lot Single- Family Residential Subdivision,

Councilmember Harper stated that with the reduction and
intensity of use of the old school district office there
should be a positive effect on the amount of traffic in
the area. He went on to acknowledge Colmer Development
Company's cooperation with the City to incorporate the
last parcel into the project to bring consistency to the
area.

Street (Community Block Grant Funds). Staff
Recommendation: 1) Continue this item to the City
Council meeting of November 20, 2002; and 2) Refer the
matter to the Budget and Finance Committee for
consideration prior to the City Council meeting of
November 20, 2002.
Ms. Burns gave the staff report.
There being no public speakers, Mayor Hunter closed the
public hearing.
Councilmember Mikos suggested that the Committee consider
options to use the money for housing assistance
activities for those who need it the most, such as first -
time homebuyers and for rental assistance. She went on
to inquire whether this is an appropriate time to
consider using some of the funds to assist Catholic
Charities in obtaining a new home. Councilmember Mikos
also offered for consideration of the Committee the
resources of the Commission on Human Concerns on which
she is a Commissioner.
Councilmember Millhouse stated that he and Councilmember
Wozniak serve on the Ad Hoc Committee for relocation of
Catholic Charities and that they will bring a report back
to the City Council.
Councilmember Harper stated his support of staff's
recommendation and asked that a higher cap than $20,000
per buyer be considered, since in today's market that is
not enough.
Councilmember Mikos concurred with Councilmember Harper
and asked that staff look at other creative options that
may have changed since the increase in the market price,
such as HUD housing assistance funds.
MOTION: Councilmember Mikos moved and Councilmember Harper

9. PRESENTATION /ACTION /DISCUSSION:
A. Consider Report Pertaining to the Efforts Required to Seek
a Restriction of Non -Local Truck Traffic on Route 118
Between Route 23 and Route 34. Staff Recommendation:
Direct staff to instruct Parsons to: 1) Delete the prior
Task 2 (removal of the NHS designation) from the Scope of
Work; 2 ) Add a Revised Task 2 to the Scope of Work to
conduct a Safety Analysis of the subject Highway Segment
for the fee amount indicated in this report; and 3) Defer
work on Tasks 3 and 4 until after the Safety Analysis has
been reviewed by the City Council.
Mr. Gilbert gave the staff report and introduced Tony
Velasquez from Parsons Transportation Group.
Mr. Velasquez outlined the difficulties the City will
have in providing statistical evidence of safety problems
generated by truck traffic and the requirement of having
a two- thirds vote of the California Transportation
Commission (CTC) for approval of truck restrictions on a
state highway.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Gilbert stated that
State Route (SR) 23 and SR 34 were considered as the
furthest westerly points for the purposes of the study;
that if a package were developed for an application, the
restriction would probably be all the way to Highway 101
with signage on the freeway to advise trucks not to exit
onto Santa Clara Road or in Saticoy; an Environmental
Impact Report would be necessary; and there would be
opposition from many communities if the decision is made
to go forward with an application.
Councilmember Millhouse recommended expanding the scope
of the study to look at restricting rather than
prohibiting truck traffic and not to overlook non -
quantifiable safety concerns such as the transportation
of hazardous materials near waterways or schools. He
asked that information regarding the CTC, including the
number of members and who appoints them, be provided to
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10 November 6, 2002
the Council so that they can be contacted and convinced
of the merits of re- routing truck traffic out of
Moorpark.
In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Velasquez
stated that SR 118 is already on the National Highway
System (NHS), which means any deficiencies in the roadway
have been corrected to accommodate the truck traffic. He
went on to state that to include Highway 118 all the way
to the SR 101 corridor, some minor non - standard
exceptions had to have been included.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that the federal government
has allowed loop holes to be used to qualify the roadway
for NHS standards. He went on to state that further
opportunity for restrictions can be seen on page 93 of
the staff report under the description categories of
"vehicles transporting hazardous material /waste adjacent
to waters" and the "transport of explosives, flammables,
liquefied petroleum gas or poisonous gas in a tank truck,
trailer or semi trailers in other that the hours between
3:00 a.m. - 5:00 a.m."
John Kerkhoff, resident of Somis, representing "Save Our
Somis ", opposed the proposal, indicating that SR 34
through Somis is an illogical path, since it is three
times as long. He cited the 1991 cooperation between the
City of Moorpark and Caltrans to extend the right -of -way
for SR 23 and SR 118 through the city, as the start of
this problem. He thanked the Council for their
intelligent discussion.
Barbara Kerkhoff, a resident of Somis, representing "Save
Our Somis ", opposed the proposal. She asked for the
Council's support in asking Caltrans to perform an
Environmental Impact Study of the truck route from SR 118
through SR 34. Ms. Kerkhoff stated that Somis residents
would like to participate in discussions with the City of
Moorpark in regard to truck traffic. She suggested as a
possible alternate prohibition of truck traffic would be
to have SR 118 to Grimes Canyon Road and on west to
Saticoy to be declared a scenic highway.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Velasquez stated that
the material provided on restrictions is based on
research performed by Caltrans. He went on to state that
the transport of goods and services is a federal issue
and that the Federal government would challenge the CTC
even with a two - thirds vote.

Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 11 November 6, 2002
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Gilbert stated that
safety worthiness can be quantified such as accidents per
million miles traveled. He also stated that an argument
for unsafe conditions can be established based on
geometrics such as a curve, a hill, or a line of sight
problem; however, it will be difficult to convince
Ventura, Oxnard, and Somis who will be in opposition
along with the truck lobby.
In response to Mayor Hunter's suggestions that inadequate
roadway width, lack of shoulder, limited number of truck
turnouts, insufficient sight distance, and /or
incompatibility of speed limits are safety hazards, Mr.
Gilbert stated that it would be difficult to prove
without support of an accident history. He went on to
state that alternate routes would have to be identified
in the application to the CTC in order to prohibit SR 118
through Moorpark as a truck route.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Velasquez stated that
part of the application package would include the
environmental review, which could take 12- months to two -
years to complete.
Mr. Gilbert stated that Task 3 would explain the dollars
and number of years needed to develop, process, and move
the application through the entire CTC program.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Velasquez stated
that the study could explore whether or not the
parameters used to qualify the roadway to NHS standards
have changed. He went on to clarify that the state looks
at restrictions in relation to the cost benefit to fix
the roadway versus prohibiting truck traffic. He stated
that in his opinion, the state will try to fix the road
to maintain truck travel.
Councilmember Millhouse stated that diverting truck
traffic through Somis does not solve the problem; the
consultant needs to identify the safety justifications
for prohibiting or restricting truck traffic; and prepare
the application to the CTC. He went on to state that the
Objective in the staff report on stamped page 96 should
be changed to read "Determine the safety justifications
that exist to prohibit truck traffic..."
Councilmember Harper stated that the roadway study should
be extended to include the curves near Mesa Union School,
0 C 0 0 8 I'l
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 12 November 6, 2002
which is the most geometrically non - compliant stretch of
roadway where trucks have been seen to tip over or up
onto one set of wheels; that the most logical alternative
routes would be SR 101 and /or SR 126; and restrictions to
consider should include gross weight, number of axles,
and type of material being hauled.
In response to Council, Mr. Gilbert stated that the
consultant can be asked to identify safety factors used
to justify restriction of truck traffic on state routes
which are comparable to those found on SR 118.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated that if the
study includes the roadway west of SR 34, then money will
have been spent to exclude trucks from the unincorporated
area rather than from within the city. He went on to
state that his recommendation would be to first study the
area from SR 118 to SR 34 and then if successful, extend
it beyond to the west.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Gilbert stated
that the increase in the scope of work to be more global
in nature and treat this as a regional issue for the
whole corridor would not significantly increase the
consultant costs; that he concurs with Mr. Kueny that it
would be unfortunate to be successful in prohibiting
truck traffic beyond SR 34, but not within in the City;
and that safety components within the City, west of Somis
and beyond need to be established by the consultant so
that no opportunity is lost.
MOTION: Councilmember Millhouse moved and Councilmember
Wozniak seconded a motion to 1) delete the prior Task 2
(removal of the NHS designation) from the Scope of Work; 2)
add a Revised Task 2 to change the objective of the Scope of
Work to determine the safety justifications to restrict and /or
prohibit truck traffic on SR 118 between SR 23 and a revised
westerly limit of State Route 232; and 3) defer work on Tasks
3 and 4 until after the Safety Analysis has been reviewed by
the City Council. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
B. Underaround Conversion of Electrical Transmission Lines on
Los Angeles Avenue. Staff Recommendation: Direct staff
to proceed with steps necessary to develop a project for
the undergrounding of the transmission lines between
Shasta Avenue and Millard Street.
Mr. Gilbert gave the staff report.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 13
November 6, 2002
Councilmember Harper stated that he is in favor of moving
ahead and would like the time schedule accelerated; he
would like to see Section C included even though there
are fiscal constraints; and it may be necessary to create
an Undergrounding District to access fees from new
development.
Councilmember Millhouse concurred with Councilmember
Harper.
MOTION: Councilmember Millhouse moved and Councilmember
Wozniak seconded the motion to develop a project for the
undergrounding of the transmission lines between Shasta Avenue
and Millard Street. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote.
In response to Mr. Kueny, Mayor Hunter clarified that
Section C would be included at a later date.
C. Consider Art In Public Places Project For Moorpark
Marketplace (Tract Map No. 5321). Staff Recommendation:
Approve Zelman's (CPD 2001 -01) Art In Public Places
project as submitted.
Ms. Lindley gave the staff report.
Brian Wolfe, architect for P & R Architects, 111 West
Ocean Boulevard, #2100, Long Beach, California, described
the fountain proposal and how it meets the Art In Public
Places criteria.
Robert Exel, representing Zelman Retail Partners, 515
South Figueroa, Suite 1230, Los Angeles, California,
stated he is available for questions.
Gerald Goldstein, a Moorpark resident, discussed the City
of Moorpark's history of art in public places and
encouraged the public to get involved.
Councilmember Harper stated that he likes the additions
to the renderings and the accent tiles along the
perimeter; he would like to see tiles replace the free
standing central element on the colonnade; and that the
public will enjoy the fountain.
Councilmember Wozniak concurred with Councilmember
Harper's comments.

Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 14
November 6, 2002
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Wolfe stated
that the distance between the curb face and the edge of
the fountain is three and one -half feet; he does not
recommend replacing landscaping with hardscape to the
west of the fountain, because this area is not considered
a logical pedestrian walkway; and the plantings are
intended to preclude easy access to the fountain by
children.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Lindley stated that the
Art In Public Places Advisory Committee considered the
landscaping to be the better alternative to a pedestrian
access, since it discourages direct access to the water
in the fountain.
Councilmember Harper concurred with Ms. Lindley's
recollection and stated that the consensus of the
Committee was to discourage approaching the fountain from
the parking lot.
Mayor Hunter and Councilmember Mikos concurred with
Councilmember Harper regarding the landscaping instead of
hardscape.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Wolfe described
the landscaped pedestrian connections throughout the
center. He went on to state that the public could choose
to walk directly through the parking lot.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Wolfe stated
that if a landscaped type of sidewalk is considered for
installation in front of the fountain it would create
Americans with Disabilities Act compliance issues.
MOTION: Councilmember Harper moved and Councilmember Mikos
seconded the motion to approve staff's recommendation with the
following changes: 1) add tile accents to the wall surrounding
the two ponds; 2) replace the free - standing central identity
element with a tile element; 3) include the landscaping in
front of the fountain and 4) defer future details and changes
to staff for approval. The motion carried by voice vote 4 -0,
Councilmember Millhouse abstaining.
10. CONSENT CALENDAR:

seconded a motion to approve the Special Joint City Council
and Parks & Recreation Commission minutes of April 10, 2002
and the Special City Council meeting minutes of October 30,
2002. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
D. Consider Request by Moorpark Unified School District for
Tennis Equipment Storage. Staff Recommendation:
Authorize the placement of a storage box in the trash
enclosure at Arroyo Vista Community Park as identified in
the Agenda Report.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that the School District has
not cooperated in finalizing the maintenance agreement;
he will not support this item; an option would be to give
the maintenance of the four courts owned by the School
District back and let them find the money for
maintenance; the maintenance agreement should not be a
matter of interpretation it should be a reality; and
regardless of what happened in the past an agreement
needs to be signed and the tennis courts maintained for
the benefit of the community.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Councilmember Millhouse
stated that he is a member on the committee, which was
formed to work with the School District in regard to this
issue. He went on to state that written documentation
refutes the recollection of the former superintendent
that there was no planned maintenance agreement;
unfortunately, the tennis courts opened prior to the
signing of a maintenance agreement; he believes that
C, CIO, .. >8
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 9 November 20, 2002
there will be a resolution of the maintenance issue with
new representatives on the school board; and that he will
be voting in favor of this item since the children and
coaches need a place to store their equipment.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Councilmember Harper stated
that it is unclear from the committee meetings whether
the new school board acknowledges any responsibility for
maintenance of the courts; it is clear that it is very
important to memorialize this type of agreement in
writing, especially due to the change over in
representation on the school board; and he cannot see
this type of misunderstanding occurring in the future.
Councilmember Millhouse stated that the school board
expressed a concern or position that the School
District's contribution to the construction costs of the
tennis courts had relieved them of any future maintenance
obligations; however, in reviewing the records, this
proved not to be the case. He went on to cite the City's
reverse situation in regard to the City's contribution to
the construction costs of the Chaparral Middle School
gym, where a signed agreement did not include on -going
maintenance costs.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated that the
School District uses the tennis courts for about 180
school days a year from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and until
5:00 p.m. during tennis season.
Councilmember Mikos stated that she was not on the ad hoc
committee and is using the record accompanying the agenda
packet for background information, which is a copy of a
letter dated in 1997 from the Moorpark Unified School
District and signed by the then Superintendent, Mr.
Duffy. She went on to state that the letter indicates
the School District was aware that a maintenance
agreement would be forthcoming; that now that the
documentation has been provided, the School District can
see they had agreed to help with the maintenance costs of
the courts; she sees no reason to hold up this item
regarding the request for a storage facility; and she
concurs with Councilmember Harper that in the future a
letter will not be sufficient, a signed agreement will be
necessary.
Mayor Hunter stated that it is hard to believe that there
was never any intent on the part of the School District
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10 November 20, 2002
to participate in the on -going maintenance costs when
they use the courts about 50 percent of the available
court hours. He indicated that he is in favor of moving
forward with providing the storage unit and also moving
forward with the maintenance agreement.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Traffenstedt stated that
there were no public speakers.
MOTION: Councilmember Harper moved and Councilmember
Millhouse seconded the motion to authorize the placement of a
storage box in the trash enclosure at Arroyo Vista Community
Park as identified in the Agenda Report. The motion carried
by voice vote 4 -1, Councilmember Wozniak dissenting.

A. City Manager's Monthly Report.
Mr. Kueny introduced Ken Gilbert, Public Works
Director, who gave the monthly report.
Mr. Gilbert gave a PowerPoint presentation on Storm
Water Pollution Management in compliance with the
Clean Water Act established by the National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (N.P.D.E.S.). The
presentation provided information regarding programs
performed by the City under N.P.D.E.S. including
community outreach programs, stenciling catch basins
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 2 December 18, 2002
to prevent discharge into the Arroyo; monitoring
and /or inspection of industrial sites, automotive
service sites, restaurants, and construction sites;
and public facilities and activities used to determine
any source of pollution. The presentation went on to
describe Best Management Practices such as education
to prevent past practices of pollution, the use of
grassy swales to filter debris during construction,
warning signs, and resident involvement in reporting
problems.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Gilbert went on to
update the Council on Major Capital Projects pending
or underway within the City including traffic signal
interconnect projects for both Los Angeles Avenue and
Tierra Rejada Road; Flinn Avenue relocation to realign
with Second Street and installation of a traffic
signal; slurry seal and asphalt overlay projects going
out for bids, acceptance of bids for construction of
30 curb ramp installations to improve ADA compliance;
development with Caltrans of landscape median plans
for Los Angeles Avenue; two underground utility
projects on Los Angeles Avenue between Gabbert and
Millard Streets; a Phase II project with Southern
California Edison to remove poles and wires in this
same area; and a future Calleguas Municipal Water
District project to install a six -foot diameter water
pipe along the middle of Los Angeles Avenue.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Gilbert stated
that there is no relationship between the future Los
Angeles Avenue landscape median project and the
Calleguas project to install the water pipes down the
middle of Los Angeles Avenue. He went on to state it
appears that installing the pipe in the center rather
than at the edge of Los Angeles Avenue would allow
traffic to flow along the outside lanes, making
construction easier on the public.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Gilbert
confirmed that the traffic signal interconnect project
will synchronize the traffic lights along the Los
Angeles Avenue and Tierra Rejada Road corridors and
will include signage advising the public of the proper
speed limit to make all green lights.

In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Gilbert
provided an update on the Ventura County project at
Moorpark Road, indicating that once the poles and mast
arms, whose delivery has been delayed, are installed
the intersection should be up and operational in
January.
S. PUBLIC COMMENT:
Gerald Goldstein, Moorpark resident, congratulated local
parents, Tony and Marie Bellasamo, regarding a magazine
article on the success of their daughter, Patricia, in her
profession as an attorney; and spoke briefly about the
receipt of a letter regarding automated trash collection
and new trash barrels to be delivered to local residents.
Rick Brecunier, resident of Moorpark, representing Tierra
Rejada Ranch, expressed concern regarding the changes
proposed for the intersection at Tierra Rejada Road and Old
Moorpark Road and his concerns regarding lack of notice.
He stated that there would be devastating impacts to the
businesses along Old Moorpark Road if the median were to
close off left -turn access from Tierra Rejada Road. Mr.
Brecunier expressed concern that emergency vehicles would
also be delayed in reaching locations on Old Moorpark Road
by having to drive across the valley to reach them. He
asked for a temporary hold on the plans to allow time for a
full analysis of the situation.
Craig Underwood, a representative of Tierra Rejada Family
Farms stated that small farms are not favored in the
current economy and they have sought alternatives to bring
customers to the farm including school tours, the October
Festival, weddings and receptions, and most recently the
reenactment of Civil War activities. He went on to state
that consideration should be taken in regard to ease of
access and safety concerns for those who wish to visit the
farms.
Harvey Corr, a resident of Old Moorpark Road, spoke in
support of Mr. Brecunier and Mr. Underwood's comments and
stressed his concern that emergency vehicles would be
precluded from left -turn access to Old Moorpark Road.
James Barker, representing
concurred with the opposition
at Old Moorpark Road.

In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated that as part
of the City's agreement with the County of Ventura and a
subsequent encroachment permit, the plan is to remove the
signal at Tierra Rejada and Old Moorpark Roads and to
install a median, which will prohibit left turns. He
stated any delays could cause change orders, which would
drive up the cost of the work. He also stated that the
Council had considerable discussion regarding the
situation, and it was the consensus to remove the traffic
signal at Tierra Rejada and Old Moorpark Roads, since there
would be two signals so close together. He stated there
was not a lot of discussion regarding left- turns, other
than from a safety standpoint it was decided to close off
the median, and there was little discussion about the
immediate impact on those businesses and residents south of
that intersection. He stated that staff will not be able
to place this on an agenda for discussion until January 15,
2003; staff has begun to look at this situation to consider
the potential for left -turns west to south; and the most
that can be done now is to ask the County to delay
construction or for the Council to consider a meeting prior
to January 15, 2003.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated that it was
intended that the new alignment would be the primary
intersection at Miller Parkway, and that is why it was
decided to eliminate the left -turn option at Old Moorpark
Road. He went on to state that the purpose of the County's
project was to move traffic through the valley more
quickly; and that the best compromise may be a left -turn
"in only" option, which will take time for staff to study
and to discuss with the County.
In response to Mayor Hunter,

project, the residents should contact Supervisor Mikels'
office regarding the impacts and to request that the County
defer this part of the project.

Councilmember Mikos stated that

necessary, but questioned what
have over this problem since this
December 18, 2002
she is willing to have a
15, 2003, if it is deemed
authority the City would
is a County project.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Kueny stated that
the County recognizes that this is the City's intersection
and would probably concede if it does not cost them any
more money, and staff will contact the County's Project
Manager to request a change order cost from their
contractor to modify the median for left -turns "in ", but
not "out ", which could prove to be less expensive than
completing the project as it is now planned. He stated
that another option could include asking the County to
leave out that part of the project entirely and let the
City recoup the savings from the shared cost for that
segment of the median, the City could then install the
median at a later date, but the traffic signal would still
have to be removed.
Mayor Hunter stated that it would be premature to schedule
another Council meeting without more information on the
outcome from the City's contact with the County. He went
on to state that it may be possible to include
representatives from Supervisor Mikels' and Supervisor
Schillo's offices to help everyone understand how the
decisions were made on this project.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Brecunier
stated that a left - turn "in only" is a better option than
no entry at all; however, he likes the entrance the way it
is configured now.
Councilmember Parvin stated that she had met with
Supervisor Mikels, who is now aware of this situation, and
staff may want to contact her regarding obtaining more
information.
Councilmember Mikos stated that some signage to indicate
"Local Traffic Only" may encourage drivers to bypass Old
Moorpark Road to travel on to the new intersection.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting, the City Council recessed to
convene a meeting of the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency. The time
was 7:25 p.m. The City Council meeting reconvened at 7:26 p.m.

2002, with public hearing open.) Staff Recommendation:
Continue the item, public hearing open, to January 15,
2003.
Mr. Hogan requested a continuance with the public
hearing open, to the City Council meeting of January
15, 2003, to allow time for the Ad Hoc Committee to
meet on December 19, 2002, to discuss revised plans.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Hogan stated
that staff will check on data for the Moorpark area
concerning over - saturation of storage units as
referenced in the fax communication from Mike Thakar,
received on December 13, 2002, and will report back to
the Council on January 15, 2003.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Traffenstedt stated
that there were no speaker cards.
MOTION: Councilmember Millhouse moved and Councilmember

to January 15, 2003. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote.
B. Consider Industrial Planned Development (IPD) Permit
No. 2001 -01, a Request for a 6,833 Square Foot
Contractor's Repair Building and a 2,194 Square Foot
Accessory Office Building on a 67,833 Square Foot
(1.56 Acre) Parcel Located at 13840 E. Los Angeles
Avenue, on the Application of Sharma Construction,
Inc. Staff Recommendation: 1) Open the public
hearing, accept public testimony, and close the public
hearing; and 2) Adopt Resolution No. 2002 -2038
approving Industrial Planned Development 2001 -01
subject to Conditions of Approval.
Mr. Hogan gave the staff report. He stated that staff
is recommending amending Special Condition No. 1. to
require a 6 -foot high block wall with landscaping
along the Arroyo Simi side rather than tubular steel
fencing.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Hogan stated
that the exact location of the wall will be at the
discretion of staff, but generally will be offset by
the landscaping placed along the property line. He
also stated the existing office building is within the
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Paae 8 December 18, 2002
setback and needs to be moved to bring the project
into compliance with the setback requirements and that
the dotted lines on the site plan depict where the
current buildings are located with the solid lines
depicting the proposed building locations. He stated
that each individual vehicle would be limited to
loading /parking on the site up to a maximum of 48
consecutive hours.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Hogan stated that
even though staff does not anticipate a code
enforcement problem, a special condition limiting the
hours for loading /parking on site is to prevent the
occurrence of outdoor storage.
Councilmember Parvin stated that as a Planning
Commissioner during the time of initial approval for
this project, she is familiar with the Commission's
preference for wrought iron fencing versus block wall,
as it was considered more visually appealing. She
went on to state that she believes that landscaping
along the wrought -iron fencing would block the view of
anything above six feet in height; wrought -iron
fencing is a friendlier environment for wildlife; and
that being in close proximity to horse trails, it
would be more aesthetically appealing to look at trees
and plants than a block wall.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Hogan stated
that the Butler metal buildings, with their
articulated front elevations and other architectural
treatments, do not look like pre - fabricated metal
buildings, staff has no reservations regarding the
metal material, and that the buildings can come with
or without stucco exterior.
Mayor Hunter opened the public hearing.
Michael Sanchez, architect from Lauterbach &
Associates, 300 Montgomery Avenue, Oxnard,
representing the applicant, stated that they have read
and agree to the project conditions; are not opposed
to a block wall; are opposed to a five -foot offset of
the property line wall due to the large turning radius
required by the very large vehicles visiting the site;
and that the Butler buildings are durable, flexible,
and do not appear to be made from metal.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 9 December 18, 2002
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Sanchez stated that
they have no need for outdoor storage; this is a
vehicular maintenance operation; and that there is no
problem with the 48 -hour limitation for vehicles on
site.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Sanchez
stated that the vehicles are housed on job sites and
only come into the shop for repair; the type of
maintenance performed includes automotive repair, oil
changes, and blade maintenance; the 15 -foot canopy
projecting out from the overhead doors allows for two
vehicles to be worked on at a time, with one inside
and one outside; they are not adverse to a block wall;
and are willing to plant and maintain vines in the
pockets along the wall.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Sanchez
stated that the usual hours of operation are from 7:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday; movement
of the large equipment to the site requires a traffic
permit issued for a particular route by the City; the
site has been engineered with a filtration system to
prevent toxic substances from draining into the storm
drain; and staff is imposing the standard conditions
to guarantee that there is no discharge of used motor
oil or hydraulic fluids into the storm drain.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Hogan stated
that if the IPD Permit is approved, the project
conditions will run with the land; if a new use is
established, a review of the conditions would be
needed and a new IPD may be required; if a new use is
similar, staff would have to review the existing
conditions to make sure they are adequate; more
stringent conditions due to the proximity to the
Arroyo do not seem necessary, since the N.P.D.E.S.
standard requirements, in respect to water quality,
along with the standard conditions, in regard to
environmental health requirements, are adequate; a
compromise with the applicant is possible for the area
of tightest setback along the fence, allowing for a
minimum of two -feet from the property line for
landscaping, which would include shrubbery and some
vertical trees to be maintained by the applicant on
the Arroyo side of the block wall; and this would be
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10 December 18, 2002
better than locating the wall on the property line
with vine pockets.
Mr. Kueny stated that if the Council approves this
direction, he would suggest allowing the Community
Development Director to work with the applicant to
reduce landscaping adjacent to the property line wall
to approximately two and one -half feet, where the
applicant needs a turning radius, and to require up to
five feet of landscaping along the property line wall
at other locations.
In response to Councilmember Parvin, Tom Logan, a
principal of Sharma Construction, Inc., stated that
the timing of the large oversize vehicle travel is
restricted by Caltrans to be moved between the hours
of 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., while the smaller equipment
can be moved between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing.
Mayor Hunter stated that the days of operation, Monday
through Saturday need to be added to Condition No. 8,
which shows only the hours of operation from 7:00 a.m.
to 7:00 p.m.
Councilmember Harper stated that he concurs with

9. PRESENTATION /ACTION /DISCUSSION:
A. Consider Status Report on County of Ventura Open Space
District Advisory Committee (OSDAC) and Recommendation
on Open Space District Project Category Definitions
and Priority for Land Acquisition. Staff
Recommendation: Direct staff to prepare a letter to
the OSDAC, including a recommendation on Open Space
District project category definitions and priority for
land acquisition, as discussed in the agenda report.
Ms. Traffenstedt gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Ms. Traffenstedt
stated that it is not staff's intent to include in the
letter an indication that there is concurrence for
"active recreations uses" within established
greenbelts; there are some cities that have little
recreation land within their city limits and their
priority may be to have recreation uses outside their
city limits; and the priority should be on what the
money is spent on first, which will depend upon what
kind of Open Space District is formed.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Paae 12 December 18, 2002
Councilmember Harper expressed concern regarding what
could be included under the "catch all" category of
active recreation uses, such as an outdoor shooting
range, motorcross, or driving ranges. He stated he
would like to see some limitations placed on the menu
of active recreational uses and recommended that they
be kept within the city corporate limits rather than
in greenbelt areas.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse's request for
clarification, Councilmember Harper stated that the
question is not the acquisition of the land, but the
subsequent use of the land. He went on to state his
preference is for acquiring the land, but also to
limit the intense active recreation uses to be within
a city and have the greenbelts reserved for more
passive uses such as hiking or jogging trails.
Ms. Traffenstedt stated that at this point it has not
been determined that the Open Space District money
could not be used to acquire property within a city.
Mr. Kueny cited circumstances of particular cities,
which would lead them to want to include active
recreational uses within boundaries of their
recreation district or within parkland adjacent to
their city limits.
Mayor Hunter stated that he believes that this is
consistent with the voter's intent.
Councilmember Mikos concurred with Councilmember
Harper that the letter should specify that certain
active recreational uses such as golf courses and
driving ranges do not belong in greenbelt areas. She
went on to state her concern that there are not that
many official protected greenbelt areas and the term
"open space" does not necessarily translate into an
actual greenbelt area; for example, Tierra Rejada
Valley is a gentleman's agreement greenbelt, which
means it does not have a great deal of protection.
She stated she would not want to see a use such as the
Ventura County Fairgrounds or activities such as
motorcross come to this area.
In response to Councilmember Mikos regarding
Attachment 1 to the staff report, Ms. Traffenstedt
stated that Attachment 1 is a handout, which was
() �ru ��®
Minutes of the City Council

provided by County staff at the beginning of the OSDAC
meetings as a starting point; it was probably modeled
after legislation in process at that time; and the
committee is looking at both the acquisition of fee
title and conservation easements.
Councilmember Mikos stated that as the City's
representative on the Advisory Committee for the Santa
Monica Mountains Conservancy, she is aware that they
have criteria set up to help make decisions in regard
to the acquisition of passive open space with the goal
of public access and a criteria for urban parks with
natural habitat. She went on to state that the County
of Ventura Open Space District Advisory Committee may
want to look at developing criteria to take into
consideration the varying needs of cities and how
points could be scored to acquire parkland through
some mechanism so there is not a proliferation of
motorcross -type activities in open space.
Mr. Kueny suggested that the City's position could be
stated so that no active recreation use could be
pursued on lands acquired under this District, when
such lands are acquired for open space, agricultural,
or natural resource protection, and that any active
recreation lands under this District would be
encouraged to be within a city or the existing
boundaries of a current recreation district.
The Council concurred with Mr. Kueny's suggestion.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Traffenstedt stated
that there were no speaker cards.
CONSENSUS: It was the consensus of the Council to direct
staff to prepare a letter to the County of Ventura Open
Space District Advisory Committee, to include the following
comments and recommendations: 1) Any lands acquired by the
District for the purposes of preserving open space,
agricultural land, and natural resources protection, should
be preserved for those purposes and no future conversion to
active recreation uses should be permitted; 2) Acquisition
of open space lands and /or conservation easements to
preserve greenbelts and buffer lands between cities,
agricultural land, and natural resources, should have a
higher priority in comparison to acquisition of land for
recreation purposes; 3) Any land to be acquired for active
recreation purposes should be within the jurisdictional
C

boundary of a City or within the existing boundaries of the
current recreation districts in Ventura County (but not
within a City's Area of Interest unless such projects are
supported by that City); and 4) The City does not support
the funding of an active recreation project within the
Tierra Rejada Greenbelt area.
B. Consider Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 02/03
Budget to Revise the Budget for Project 8049: A
Consultant Study to Investigate the Feasibility and
Cost Related to the Possible Establishment of a
Prohibition or Restriction of Non -Local Truck Traffic
on Route 118 Between the Route 23 Freewav and Route
232 (Vineyard Avenue). Staff Recommendation: Adopt
Resolution No. 2002 -2039 revising the appropriation
and budget for the subject consultant services. ROLL
CALL VOTE REQUIRED
Mr. Gilbert gave the staff report. He corrected the
dollar amount in the staff report on stamped page 74
to coincide with the $13,338 amount listed on page 75.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Gilbert stated
that in regard to an air quality study at Flory
school, staff does not consider the traffic consultant
to be an appropriate entity to perform an in -depth
health impact analysis. He went on to state that
staff is looking at exploring existing studies, which
document the adverse affects of diesel emissions and
have reached conclusions regarding proximity and
respiratory ailments.
Councilmember Mikos stated that it would not hurt to
ask the School District if they have any data they
would be willing to share.
Mayor Hunter stated that the School District has
expressed a desire to participate in this project and
recommended that staff contact the Superintendent's
office.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Gilbert
stated that the time frame for submitting the traffic
consultant's report would allow it to come back to the
Council in March 2003.

C. Consider Report on Three Slope Failures in Mountain
Meadows. Staff Recommendation: Direct staff as
deemed appropriate.
Mr. Brown gave a verbal report on the failure of two
retaining walls and one slope failure in the Mountain
Meadows area.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Brown stated that for
the Buttercreek I retaining wall failure, engineering
plans have been prepared for remediation. He stated
that for the Buttercreek II retaining wall failure,
there is continuing negotiation with the builders and
insurance companies regarding resolution of liability
and responsibility. He stated that for the slope
failure in the Verona Homeowners Association area,
intensive geotechnical investigation and plan
preparation has occurred, and receipt of bonds is
pending to secure completion of the work.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated that
besides plan check, he does not see any additional
role for the City to play in the resolution of these
problems.
Councilmember Millhouse clarified that there may be a
misperception that these situations are under the
control and purview of the City of Moorpark, when in
reality they have existed for quite some time. He
went on to state that beyond citing some Homeowners
Associations for code violations there is nothing the
City can do. He indicated concern regarding Public
Works signage near these projects, which may give the
impression that the City is taking responsibility for
these unresolved issues.
Mayor Hunter stated that he feels that the Homeowners
Associations are doing all they can to bring
''U 3 4 6"13

resolution to these private issues; he wanted to make
sure that the City was doing all they could to assist;
and requested that the Council be updated as to the
progress within the next 90 days.
Councilmember Parvin stated that she resides in an
area of Moorpark that also sustained slope failures
and part of the problem was attributed to gophers
undermining the slopes by tunneling.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Traffenstedt stated
that there were no speaker cards.
CONSENSUS: It was the consensus of the Council to
receive and file the report and to direct staff to provide
a status report within 90 days on the progress of these
private disputes regarding the two retaining wall failures
and one slope failure.
