Staff Recommendation:
1) Consider Councilmember Pollock’s request to reconsider the City
Council’s selection of Sequencing Option 2 as the sequencing of
elections for Map No. 401a, with Districts 2 and 4 elected in 2020
and Districts 1 and 3 elected in 2022;
7

Moorpark, California
Page 4 March 6, 2019
2) If Councilmember Pollock’s Motion made under item 1 above
receives a second and is approved by a majority vote of the
Council, then permit Councilmember Pollock to make a second
motion to reconsider the 2/21/2019 vote to adopt Sequencing
Option 2 as the sequence of elections for Map No. 401a with
District 4 elected in 2020 and remaining districts determined by a
randomized method. If either Motion 1 or Motion 2 fails, proceed to
the public hearing on Ordinance 467 under Item 8.B for
consideration of adoption; and
3) If the City Council adopts a revised sequencing plan for Map No.
401a, then proceed to the public hearing on Ordinance No. 467
under Item 8.B to consider ordinance revisions, which would
require introduction and first reading of the revised ordinance, and
adoption would then be advertised and a public hearing scheduled
for the regular meeting on 3/20/2019.
Mr. Brown gave a brief presentation and turned the item over to
Councilmember Pollock, the maker of the request for reconsideration.
Councilmember Pollock explained his reasons for requesting
reconsideration of Map 401a and the sequencing decision, including that
he wanted the City Council to reconsider using a random drawing to
determine the second District for 2020 election sequencing.
Harvey Plaks, a Moorpark resident, stated the Council should not to go
back on the decisions already made for Map 401a and the sequencing
and should move forward.
Pamela Castro, a Moorpark resident, stated the random drawing for the
sequencing should have been used to keep the process fair.
Alejandro Castro, a Moorpark resident, stated his preference that the
Council use a random drawing to determine the sequencing in a fair
manner.
John Cleary, a Moorpark resident, stated he was pleased to hear of this
reconsideration of the sequencing, which should be a random process not
by a vote of three.
Kirill Ershov, a Moorpark resident, stated there are ethical and legal issues
with the process used to assign District 2 to the election cycle for 2020,
equal representation was not considered when District 3 was not included
in the discussion, and basing the sequencing decision on a vote rather
than a random drawing to include Districts 1, 2, and 3 may be illegal.

Jesse Valerio, a Moorpark resident, requested the Council reconsider and
have a random drawing to determine the sequencing option and
requested the downtown district be redrawn to include Everett Street,
Charles Street and Virginia Colony.
Monica Savic, a Moorpark resident, requested the Council revisit the issue
of a random drawing to include Districts 1, 2, and 3.
Adam Haverstock, a Moorpark resident, stated he is opposed to
reconsideration and encouraged the Council to approve the introduction of
the ordinance for Map 401a and a random drawing would be irresponsible
after so many public meetings to decide by chance.
Daniel Groff, a Moorpark resident, spoke in support of the decisions
already made and opposed reconsideration.
Leon Older, a Moorpark resident, stated he was confused about the
issues and that he wanted to see Councilmember Mikos remain on the
Council.
David Ross, a Moorpark resident and business owner, spoke in favor of
reconsideration of allowing a random vote on sequencing.
Bruce Rokos, a Moorpark resident, spoke in opposition to reconsideration
and to move forward on other issues important to the community. He also
spoke in favor of implementing term limits.
Linda Demyan, a Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of reconsideration and
requested the Council decide on Sequencing Option 3 for Districts 3 and 4
to be considered for the 2020 election.
Esteban Torres, a Moorpark resident, requested the Council reconsider
their prior decisions and the random drawing should have been used to
determine the sequencing. He also asked that Map 401a be reconsidered
to include Charles and Everett Streets along with Virginia Colony.
Patricia Torres, a Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of reconsideration for
requesting a random drawing for the sequencing of districts as the most
democratic process. She requested the downtown district area be
reconsidered to unify the whole downtown community.
David Lopez-Lee, a Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of the random
drawing for sequencing instead of the haphazard partisan approach; and
stated he is still in favor of five districts rather than four with a mayor-at-
large.

Bernardo Perez, a Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of reconsideration of
the sequencing using a random drawing, which is fair and seen as a
trustworthy approach to the public. He also requested reconsideration of
a new map to include planning areas 8 14, and 24 in the downtown
district.
In response to Mayor Parvin, Ms. Benson summarized one Written
Statement card from Janet Murphy indicating her support for
reconsideration of sequencing for Districts 3 and 4 in 2020 and Districts 1
and 2 in 2022. She also requested reconsideration of adding planning
area 8 to District 4.
Antonio Castro, a Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of reconsideration of
a randomized method for choosing the districts as any other method
would be seen as political.
In response to Councilmember Simons, Mr. Ennis responded that a City
Council can make a decision for sequencing and that staff did recommend
District 4 be included for the 2020 sequencing, but otherwise the Council
has latitude for the other sequencing selection for 2020. Mr. Ennis also
stated that staff did not recommend a random selection for sequencing,
but that this is permissible, and if this is a method selected by the City
Council, staff has explained a method for how it could be done.
Members of the City Council stated their individual reasons for their
sequencing decision including fairness and term limitation; the potential
number of new Councilmembers entering office at the same time; that the
Council was elected to make decisions, and the sequencing should not be
left to chance; the prior decision was not politically motivated; the press
should have informed the public in more detail of both sides of the issue; a
random sequencing selection for 2020 could be perceived to be more fair
and include Districts 1 and 2 or Districts 1, 2, and 3; many transparent and
long meetings were conducted throughout the process, and there were
many emails and phone calls as well; and partisan politics has no role in
Moorpark and discussion of it only serves to divide and hurt the
community.
Councilmember Mikos requested a future agenda item to discuss the topic
of term limits on the City Council agenda, and a future agenda item to
discuss putting the question of five districts versus four districts to a vote
of the people on the 2020 ballot.
MOTION: Councilmember Pollock moved and Councilmember Mikos seconded
a motion to reconsider the City Council’s selection of Sequencing Option 2 as the
sequencing of elections for Map No. 401a, with Districts 2 and 4 elected in 2020

and Districts 1 and 3 elected in 2022. The motion failed by roll call vote 2-3, with
Councilmembers Enegren, Simons, and Mayor Parvin dissenting.
8. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
B. Consider Sixth Public Hearing to Receive Public Comments on Second
Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 467, an Ordinance of the City of
Moorpark, California, Providing for the Election of City Councilmembers by
Districts with an At-Large Elected Mayor, Establishing the Boundaries and
Identification Number of Each District, Establishing the Election Order of
Each District, Amending Chapter 2.08 (“Municipal Elections”) of the
Moorpark Municipal Code, and Making a Determination of Exemption
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. Staff
Recommendation: 1) Open the public hearing and receive public
comments regarding the adoption of Ordinance No. 467; and 2) At the
conclusion of the public hearing on March 6th, the City Council should
close the public hearing and:
a) Introduce for 2nd reading and adopt Ordinance No. 467 by roll call
vote; or
b) Determine any revision to Ordinance No. 467 and re-introduce
revised Ordinance No. 467 for first reading, and direct staff to
advertise and schedule a public hearing for the regular City Council
meeting on March 20, 2019, to consider second reading and
adoption of revised Ordinance No. 467.
Mr. Ennis gave the staff report.
In response to Mayor Parvin, the demographer, Mr. Robert McEntire of
National Demographics Corporation presented the PowerPoint image of a
Map 401b, which showed population units 8, 14, and 24 in the downtown
District 4, and he explained a summary table showing the changed
numbers in comparison to Map 401a, which had population units 8, 14,
and 24 in District 1.
Mayor Parvin opened the public hearing.
Pamela Castro, a Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of adding population
units 8, 14, and 24 to the map to preserve the downtown community of
interest.
Antonio Castro, a Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of adding population
units 8, 14, and 24 to Map 401a to create Map 401b, as a failure to do so
promotes the status quo.

Alejandro Castro, a Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of adding population
units 8, 14, and 24 to District 4.
John Cleary, a Moorpark resident, stated District 4 has the smallest
population so it makes sense to add population units 8, 14, and 24.
Monica Savic, a Moorpark resident, spoke in support of Map 401b, which
includes adding population units 8, 14, and 24 to District 4, which is ideal
for the protected class.
Adam Haverstock, a Moorpark resident, stated he was in favor of Map
401a and the adoption of Ordinance No. 467 tonight so the community
can move forward after six public hearings.
Leon Older, a Moorpark resident, stated he wants to support the core of
the City by adding population units 8, 14, and 24 to the map to preserve
the traditional old town.
David Ross, a Moorpark resident and business owner, spoke in favor of
adding population units 8, 14, and 24 to the map.
Bob Demyan, a Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of adding population
units 8, 14, and 24 to the map, which he stated when you look at the
current population, this will happen after the next census anyway.
Bernardo Perez, a Moorpark resident, spoke in support of Map 401b,
which meets the overriding goal that best serves the City and removes risk
of litigation.
Harvey Plaks, a Moorpark resident, stated even though he agrees adding
population units 8, 14, 24 to create map 401b, once the new census
numbers come out the map will change again, so he wants to move
forward with Map 401a now.
In response to Mayor Parvin, Ms. Benson summarized one Written
Statement card from Janet Murphy who was in support of reconsideration
of Ordinance No. 467.
Mayor Parvin closed the public hearing.
A discussion followed among the Councilmembers, which focused on: 1)
Unfortunate that input on population units 8, 14, and 24 by residents of the
downtown community came so late in this process; and 2) There is still
time to make this correction to the map.

Councilmember Simons commented on the amount of fees and requested
a future agenda item to compare all of the City’s fees to other cities in
Ventura County.
Mayor Parvin stated the public hearing remains open.
Kristina Kropp, representing the applicant as Land Use Counsel for
Aldersgate Investments, LLC, 300 E. Esplanade, Suite 1550, Oxnard,
California, stated she has worked closely with Paul Edelman at the Santa
Monica Mountains Conservancy on many conservation easements; but
has never had a requirement to provide an endowment.
Matt Mansi, representing the applicant, Aldersgate Investments LLC, 300
E. Esplanade, Suite 1550, Oxnard, California, gave a presentation on the
development, which he said was modeled after University Village. He
stated they are the developer not the operator of the facility for these lease
hold units that are designed for residents to graduate in levels of care. He
requested the 10% requirement be raised to 15% for changes to the
product mix; he confirmed that solar will be provided where required by
the 2020 building code; concurred with providing electric vehicle charging
stations and an emergency generator on site; and requested that an
escalator not be included for the in-lieu fee, but stated he would accept the
will of the Council.
CONSENSUS: It was the unanimous consensus of the Council to revise special
condition No. 19 to permit the City Manager to approve a change to the
14
Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency
Moorpark, California
Page 11 March 6, 2019
unit/product mix of up to 15%, and any revision that exceeded 15% would require
City Council approval.
Following City Council questions for the applicant, Mayor Parvin confirmed
there were no public speakers and closed the public hearing.
Mr. Brown summarized the additional adjustments discussed, including to
revise Section 5.5 of the Development Agreement and condition to permit
the City Manager to approve a change to the product mix not to exceed
15%; to look at the photovoltaic solar power and energy efficiency
requirements and add as applicable to the project for residential and
institutional; to pull out the reference to the Los Angeles Museum from the
condition of approval, to strengthen Condition No. 4 to include the existing
lots shall be merged through a subdivision map process as may be
applicable and insert the covenant for enforcement. Mr. Brown stated the
City Council still needed to determine whether an escalator should be
added for the in lieu affordable housing fee and whether an endowment
would be required for the conservation easement. In response to
Councilmember Simons, Mr. Brown responded that staff would add a
condition to require an emergency generator for back-up power.
In response to Council questions about the conservation easement, Tony
Locacciato, Environmental Consultant for Aldersgate Investments LLC,
300 E. Esplanade, Suite 1550, Oxnard, California, said an endowment
was not required, because the City would not have maintenance
responsibilities, the owner of the property will be responsible for
maintaining the habitat areas consistent with the conservation easement,
and there will be maintenance standards put in place with the easement.
In response to Mayor Parvin, Mr. Ennis confirmed the mitigation area is
onsite and that the conservation easement language would be approved
by the City and would contain the terms and conditions of the mitigation
requirements, including areas protected and entity in charge of
maintenance. He also stated that with the mitigation site being maintained
by the property owner and not the City, he did not think this scenario
required an endowment.
The Council further discussed whether an escalator for the in lieu
affordable housing fee was required and Mr. Brown recommended adding
the escalator and having the fee increase beginning in 2025, and that the
developer could avoid the fee by building the project.
CONSENSUS: It was the unanimous consensus of the Council to add an
escalator to the in-lieu affordable housing fee to begin in year 2025.
