AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: 05/01/2019 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Request from the American Legion Moorpark Post
502 to Waive Park Rental Fees for Use of Poindexter Park for
Armed Forces Day Celebration
DISCUSSION
Per City Council Policies Resolution No. 2018-3763, Policy 6.2, Non-Profit
Organizations Annual Facility Reservation, once each calendar year a City of Moorpark
non-profit organization may reserve a park facility to hold an event free of charge,
provided the majority of the park remains open to the public and there is a direct benefit
to City residents. In March of this year, the American Legion Moorpark Post 502
(American Legion) used their once annual fee waiver for use of Poindexter Park for the
American Legion Anniversary Celebration.
Recently, the City has received another request from the American Legion for a park
rental fee waiver The American Legion has requested that the City sponsor their
Armed Forces Day Celebration on May 18, 2019 by waiving rental fees for the use of
the picnic pavilion at Poindexter Park. Due to the fact that the American Legion has
already used their once annual fee waiver, City Council action is required to waive the
park rental fees. The proposed rental hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Staff recommends that the City Council waive park rental fees for this event, as there is
a direct benefit to all Moorpark residents. The American Legion welcomes all residents
to join them in this celebration. Staff does not anticipate any direct costs to the City
resulting from this use. The American Legion will need to complete the standard park
rental application.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
By waiving the rental fees for use of the park, the General Fund (1000) loss of revenue
will total $255.00.

Thank you for your time meeting with us Monday, April 8th. I appreciated
your advice and insight on the Moorpark Post 502’s needs activities. Per our
conversation, will you please advise us on the use of Poindexter Park for our
Armed Forces Day celebration, May 18th. We would like to use the park that
day if we can have a waiver for the fee.
The City’s consideration in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
