MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Stephanie Anderson, Recreation Services Manager
DATE: 09/18/2019 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Request from the California Department of
Rehabilitation to Waive Rental Fees for a Job Fair at the
Arroyo Vista Recreation Center
DISCUSSION
The City has received a written request from the Thousand Oaks office of the California
Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) to waive rental fees for the use of the Sycamore
Room at the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center to hold a free, public Job Fair on
10/01/2019 in honor of the National Disability Awareness Month. The DOR is a State
agency that has the goal of promoting employment, independence and equality in the
state of California. The Job Fair provides an opportunity for local businesses to meet
with individuals who are looking for employment. The DOR promotes the Job Fair
through local organizations, businesses, schools and other programs that provide
services to individuals with disabilities. The DOR would like to hold this event in
Moorpark due to the central location to cities they plan to target during this workshop,
including Moorpark, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks and Camarillo. As Moorpark is one of
the target communities, staff believes that there is a direct benefit to the residents of
Moorpark from this use.
There will be a minimal direct cost to the City for the set-up and takedown of tables and
chairs for the rental use. Staff estimates that it will take 1.5 hours to set-up and clean-up
the facility. This will incur a cost of approximately $45 in staff time.
At the September 4, 2019, City Council meeting, the City Council approved new rental
rules and fees which would automatically make this rental a Group 1 rental, with fees at
City costs. However, since the rental date occurs before the new rules go into effect on
October 4, 2019, City Council approval for this fee waiver is required.
Item: 10.D.

FISCAL IMPACT
By waiving the rental fees for use of the facility, the loss of revenue will total $537.50.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the rental fee waiver for the use of the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center
Sycamore Room for the Department of Rehabilitation’s Job Fair on October 1, 2019,
and require that the Department of Rehabilitation pay the City’s direct staff costs of
approximately $45.

In honor of October being National Disability Employment Awareness
Month, the Thousand Oaks Department of Rehabilitation would like to
sponsor a Job Fair at the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center. We have held
our fall Job Fair at your facility for the past 4 years, and appreciate your
support.
The Job Fair has been scheduled for Tuesday, October 1, 2019 from 9 AM-
Noon. We would like to use the main meeting room (Sycamore) and the
adjoining kitchen (which will be used only to provide morning refreshments,
coffee/snacks for our participating employers).
Last year, we had over 100 individuals participate in our Job Fair, including
students from Moorpark High School Workability/Special Education

Because we are a State agency, we are not provided with funding to rent a
facility for our event, so we would like to request that the City consider
waiving the reservation fee for the facility for the event.
Thank you for your support of our event. If you are able, please feel free to
attend our event and meet our staff and participating employers.
Sincerely
