ADJOURNMENT: CITY OF MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Deborah S. Traffenstedt, Deputy City Manager �5-1 DATE: February 1, 2011 (P&R Regular Meeting of 2/7/11) SUBJECT: Consider Parks and Recreation Commission Revised Rules of Procedure for Meetings and Related Functions and Activities DISCUSSION The Rules of Procedure for the Parks and Recreation Commission for Meetings and Related Functions and Activities (Rules of Procedure) identify the content of the Commission's regular and special meeting agendas (including a description of the business to take place under each agenda topic), the role of the Presiding Officer (Chair or Vice Chair), conduct of Commissioners, processing of motions, voting, communications, the regular meeting schedule (6:30 p.m. on the .first Monday of each month), and various other procedural instructions. The Rules of Procedure have been established to provide compliance with legal requirements and ensure consistency with the City Council practices as well as that of other City Commissions. It is important for the Commissioners to review and follow the Rules of Procedure, including recognizing the role of the Presiding Officer. For example, any Commissioner desiring to speak during a meeting is required to address the Chair and only upon recognition by the Chair shall have permission to speak, ask questions, debate, make a motion, etc. The Parks and Recreation Commission meetings are broadcast over the City's government channel and the City's website, and following the established Rules of Procedure presents a positive public image of an organized meeting. Compliance with the established communication provisions of the Rules of Procedure is required to ensure compliance with laws regulating maintaining public records (including the State Public Records Act) and the requirements for open public meetings (State Ralph M. Brown Act) . The Parks and Recreation Commission last updated its Rules of Procedure in May 2007. Attachment 1 to this agenda report shows staff's recommended revisions to the Rules of Procedure through the use of legislative format. Attachment 2 incorporates the revisions showing how the revised Rules of Procedure would read with the changes incorporated. The current Rules of Procedure were predominantly copied from the City Parks and Recreation Commission February 7; 2011 Regular Meeting Page 2 Council Rules of Procedure; however, there were several sections included in 2007 that were not actually applicable to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Most of the recommended revisions to the Rules of Procedure as shown in Attachment 1 are to clarify the differences between the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Council. As an example, the Proclamations and Commendations section and the Public Hearings section of the agenda are not needed for the Commission. Staff is recommending revising the Proclamations and Commendations section to a Special Agenda Items section (such as for the annual appointment of the Chair and Vice Chair and for a special presentation). The Public Hearings section is not needed and is shown as deleted, because the Parks and Recreation Commission does not hold public hearings. The Parks and Recreation Commission is an advisory and not a decision- making commission. For this same reason, the Parks and Recreation Commission does not adopt resolutions, and the related resolution language is also shown as deleted in the revised Rules. The recommendations of the Parks and Recreation Commission are forwarded to the City Council based on documentation in the adopted minutes of the Commission. Other changes in the revised Rules of Procedure include that the staff references have been made more generic (as an example: the City Manager or his/her designee has been used instead of a specific reference to a department head title), to allow more flexibility for the assigned staff that may attend the Commission meetings based on the scheduled agenda items. Currently, the City Manager is supervising the City's Facilities and Landscape Maintenance District staff responsibilities, the Assistant City Manager is supervising the Parks maintenance staff responsibilities, and the Deputy City Manager is supervising the Recreation and Active Adult Center staff responsibilities.

RECORD OF DECISIONS Routine business and administrative matters for the Parks and Recreation Commission are accomplished by "minute order" or "motion" (thereafter recorded by minute entry).

The "motion" or "minute order is a Commission action which is recorded simply by an item entry in the minutes of the meeting at which it was accomplished documenting consensus or vote, and no separate document is made to memorialize it. The Records Secretary is empowered by State law to furnish certified excerpts of the minutes in order to facilitate the administrative process to which a particular action pertains.

C_ a CITY OF MOORPARK AGENDA REPORT PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Stephanie Shaw, Recreation Superintendent DATE: January 15, 2011 (Meeting of 2/7/11) SUBJECT: Recreation Programming Quarterly Report Fall Quarter 2010: September, October, and November 2010 This memo serves as a review and analysis of fall 2010 Recreation Division programs and park and facility rentals. RECREATION DIVISION SECTION Beginning with summer 2009, figures for programs offered through the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center were calculated using a comprehensive cost allocation system. This system was implemented to account for division overhead costs, more accurate facility overhead costs, and all full-time recreation staff costs associated with the programs. Prior to summer 2009, division overhead costs were not included at all, and only partial facility overhead and partial full-time staff costs were accounted for. The full-time staff cost allocations for summer 2009 through spring 2010 were calculated based on estimates of past history, as no data was available. Beginning with the fall of 2009, full-time recreation staff began tracking time spent on various programs. Utilizing a full year of data (fall 2009 through summer 2010), the full-time staff cost allocations have been revised to reflect actual reported hours. This has resulted in significant changes in reported full-time staff costs for some programs. The process of accounting for full-time staff costs will continue to be refined each year in an effort to produce the most accurate figures possible. FALL EVENTS Halloween Party and Trick or Treat Village This event was held on Saturday, October 30, 2010 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at AVRC. The event is designed for children ages 3-12 and featured trick -or -treating in the Trick or Treat Village, fourteen carnival games with prizes, four arts and crafts activities, three special attractions, face painting ,and "guess how many" game. New features this year included a costume contest and a contest & competitions both with a mummy wrap game, monster mash Page 1 dance off, howling hula hoop contest, and Frankenstein relays. Approximately 30 children participated in the costume contest. Due to inclement weather, all activities were held indoor, with the exception of CA Kettle Corn Vendor. Three wristband options were available, offering varying numbers of activities, and costing $5.00, $10.00, and $15.00. The "Attraction Maniac" wristband was offered for $5.00 with the purchase of any other wristband and allowed unlimited use of attractions. Thirty coupons for complimentary wristbands were given to the Moorpark NFL for disadvantaged children. Of these, 19 were submitted at the admission booth. New coupons this year included a coupon for recreation program participants that offered a $1.00 off the $5.00 Wristband, $2 off the $10.00 Wristband and $3 off the $15.00 Wristband. Recreation staff was assigned to supervise each section of the event. Staff was assisted by a total of 43 volunteers. A total of 171 wristbands were purchased this year, compared to 188 last year.

Figures for the fall 2010 quarter include attendance as indicated on paid rental permits for the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center and all park facilities. Figures in the chart below do not include repeated use by youth sports organizations, use by the public without permits, or use by City -run programs included elsewhere in this report. It should be noted that overhead costs for use of outdoor facilities (such as soccer fields and baseball fields) are not included in the calculations below. (AVRC overhead costs are included for facility rentals). Including these costs would significantly reduce the gross and net profit amounts reflected below. Parks staff is working on calculating these costs so they can be included in future reports.

AYSO will fund $1,739.82 and Packer will fund $600.00 of the $2,399.82 cost. City Park Playground Improvements Notice of Completion: On December 1, City Council approved the Notice of Completion for playground installations and improvements at College View Park, Peach Hill Park, Magnolia Park, and AVCP Phases I and ll, which concluded on September 30. Funding for the five playground improvements totaled $260,427 to complete. City Park Rule Signs: New City parks and open space rule signs are being fabricated as a follow-up to revisions approved by the City Council to the parks and open space ordinance code sections. Glenwood Restroom Project: The Glenwood Restroom project continues on schedule. City Council approved an additional $93,000 funding to complete the project. The project's estimated cost is $331,310. Bottenfield Construction received a Notice to Proceed for December 1, with the project concluding on February 13, 2011, under a 75 - day construction schedule. Parks Quarterly Report Page 2 Country Trail Park Eagle Scout Project: Eagle Scout candidate Mike Hanshaw completed his Eagle Scout project on November 22. He planted 24 new trees and 200 shrubs on the slopes of Country Trail Park. His project had 21 minor volunteers and 3 adult volunteers working 6.5 hours, providing 156 hours of labor, saving the City approximately $1,408. The trees and shrubs came from the City's tree lease, saving the City an additional $2,100. The City saved a total of $3,508 to complete this project. Poindexter Skate Park Concrete Cracks: Staff has been monitoring the Skate Park concrete for several months. Some settling and movement cracks appeared but seemed normal. Several of the cracks recorded months earlier had increased in size and now require repair to prevent a trip hazard to skate boarders. California Skateparks, who is the contractor, was requested to visit the site. They claimed the cracking was normal and would repair under warranty. Staff is withholding California Skateparks Construction Bond, which was slated for release on December 22, 2010, until further investigation can be completed. Veterans Memorial Park Victory Column Repair: Malibu Pacific Tennis Courts concluded the granite repair on November 20. The granite was re -attached per shop drawings and recommendations using an anchoring system. The repair appeared to be complete until inspection done in full sunlight revealed two 45 -degree angel breaks in the lower white granite. The repair has been rejected until the lower white granite is replaced. Veterans Memorial Park: Veterans memorial celebration involves a red -white -blue wreath to be placed behind the stone memorial name markers. The wreath is currently installed on a tree stake. Staff is researching a permanent wreath hanger installed behind the stone memorial name markers. Once the wreath hanger design is approved, the local Veterans group will be asked to purchase and the City will install. Arroyo Vista Community Park — Parking Lot "A" Damage Continuing: The parking lot installed in 1993 has had no repairs or slurry sealed since installed. The parking lot has several cracks and worn areas throughout the entire asphalt surface including lifting and damage by tree roots. Parking lot "A" is an asphalt surface approximately 50,055 sq ft., containing 98 vehicle -parking stalls. The parking lot experiences high traffic conditions daily and weekends because it provides parking for recreation staff and visitors, pre-school drop-off, tennis court use, gymnasium users, and bus transportation for special events. The parking lot damage is wide spread and encompasses the entire asphalt surface and requires crack seal, asphalt repair, and slurry seal to protect the repaired surface. The budgeted $35,000 will only provide minor repairs to the parking lot. The proposed cost to return the parking lot to proper condition will cost approximately an additional $50,000.

This Independence Day celebration features entertainment, vendors, games and attractions, and an aerial fireworks display. DISCUSSION The 2010 Fireworks Extravaganza was held on Friday, July 3, from 4:00 to approximately 9:45 p.m. at the Arroyo Vista Community Park. Event features included live entertainment, games and attractions, food vendors, and the aerial fireworks display. Admission fees remained at $3.00 per person this year. Children 5 and under were free. Entertainers, vendors, staff members, dignitaries, and sponsors were again admitted free of charge. Activities were added to other parks this year and included the sale of glow and inflatable items at Tierra Rejada, Mountain Meadows, and Glenwood parks as well as two food booths at Tierra Rejada Park. Musical entertainment began at 4:30 p.m. with two of the Battle of the Bands finalists: Hatching Dinosaurs and the Mark Cross Band. The opening band, "Full Spectrum" went on at 5:15 and played for 90 minutes. The band played a variety of oldies and classic hits. "The Hodads" were selected as the feature act again this year. "The Hodads" performed from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m., with an encore after the fireworks show that lasted approximately 15 minutes. Staff received positive comments from the public regarding the entertainment. Parks and Recreation Commission Page 2 A variety of other activities took place in the transition time between bands. The American flag was presented by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. "Moorpark Has Talent" second place winner Laura Elkins sang the National Anthem for the presentation. Mayor Janice Parvin led the Pledge of Allegiance. Also during this time staff led some audience participation games of tug -o -war. Announcements and sponsor recognitions were also made at this time. In addition to the entertainment and performances, the event featured special attractions, games, and vendors. A small fee was charged to the public by the vendors providing the special attractions. Attractions included bounce tents and other inflatable attractions, face painting, a climbing wall, laser tag, paint ball game, non -motorized rides, and carnival games. Recreation staff led a variety of picnic games near the attraction area. These games were free of charge, and included gunny sack races, hula - hoop contests, tug -o -war, relay races, and more. A variety of patriotic novelty items were awarded to participants. The number of food vendors decreased this year, with twenty food booths this year (eighteen at Arroyo Vista and two at Tierra Rejada) compared to twenty-three last year (all at Arroyo Vista). Twenty-one booths were scheduled to be at Arroyo Vista this year, but one booth was closed by Environmental Health due to a non-operating sink. Food courts were located near the recreation center and the ball field snack bar. An additional food vendor was located near the attractions. Items sold included tri -tip, hot dogs, ice cream, shave ice, smoothies, kettle corn, nachos, cotton candy, funnel cake, and more. Other vendors included Band Boosters selling items such as glow necklaces, inflatable items, and patriotic knick-knacks, and the American Legion distributed hundreds small flags to the public free of charge. The Moorpark Arts Commission also had a booth. A survey was sent to all vendors. Vendors generally had positive comments about the event, with the exception of vendors located at Tierra Rejada Park and the south side of the recreation center building at Arroyo Vista. These vendors were not satisfied with their booth locations. Food booths will not be offered at Tierra Rejada Park next year, and staff will consider whether the south -facing booths can be moved. These vendors requested sink access, and there are restrictions set by Environmental Health as to the placement of these booths. Zambelli International was contracted for the aerial fireworks display this year. Staff again worked with the City's sound engineer to develop the musical accompaniment that was used during the display. The display ran smoothly this year and staff received many positive comments about it. Police services were provided by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, and a fire inspector was on site for the day. The event continues to maintain a safe environment. No major incidents were reported. Volunteers from ARES provided radio communications. This assistance continues to be a valuable asset to the smooth running of the event. A first aid station was set up in the City information booth. Only two minor injuries were reported to staff. SACommunity Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\P&R Commission\Agenda Reports\2011\2-7-11 Fireworks Extravaganza2010.doc Parks and Recreation Commission Page 3 The Moorpark Presbyterian Church worked with the Sheriff's Department on parking and traffic control. A City staff person was also assigned to parking to assist with communications and oversight. The north side of the access road was striped by Public Works to maximize the number of parking spaces available in the park. This continues to be effective. Permit parking for vendors and staff was again located in lot C. VIP and disabled parking was located in lot #A. VIP passes also included the option to park in lot B this year. The traffic egress plan, which has been in place for the past several years, was utilized again this year. Barricades were aligned along the center of the road to delineate between pedestrian and vehicle traffic. The sidewalk on the south side of the access road and the entire inbound traffic lane were reserved for pedestrian traffic, with vehicles limited to the outbound lane. Pedestrian crosswalks were established at key points to allow pedestrians to cross the road without disturbing the traffic flow. The park was emptied in approximately 1 hour. Sponsorships decreased significantly this year. Last year the City received $5,500 in sponsorships. This year, sponsorships totaled $3,500. Sponsorships included $1,000 each from Waste Management, and Moorpark Rubbish; and $500 each from Wayne J. Sand & Gravel, Pardee Homes, and Moorpark Self Storage. Sponsors were recognized in print advertising and with announcements during the event. They also received complimentary event passes, and either a certificate or plaque. Gross revenue for the event and direct costs were relatively consistent with 2009. Indirect costs decreased due to more accurate calculations of overhead and full-time staff costs. Additionally, management staff costs were not included in this year's calculations. Management staff who worked on July 3 did not receive additional administrative leave or other compensation for working at the event. A budget summary is included in this report. Attendance for the event remained relatively consistent with last year, with approximately 12,250 in attendance. It is estimated that several thousand more watched the fireworks display from nearby parks, shopping centers, and homes. The Fireworks Extravaganza continues to be a successful event. A wrap-up meeting was held after the event. Event staff indicated the event was well managed and no major problems were encountered. Suggestions to refine the event were solicited from those at the meeting. Suggestions were also submitted by the police volunteers. Some suggestions for future years include (in no particular order): • Increase number of portable toilets. • Better coordinate admission between the gate monitor and admission staff before the gates officially open. Give gate monitor a stamp to stamp people from whom admission fees have already been collected. SACommunity Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\P&R Commission\Agenda Reports\2011\2-7-11 Fireworks Extravaganza 2010.doc Parks and Recreation Commission Page 4 • Secure opening in wall along Tierra Rejada Road near top of access road (people sneaking in past the top gate.) • Work with vendors with large volunteer groups to ensure they understand admission procedures (members from a church with a booth were rude to admission staff.) • Increase police presence at Pedestrian Bridge (people sneaking in along the Arroyo). • Schedule all front-end admission staff until 9:30 p.m. to assist with egress transition. • Provide admission staff with orange vests. • Specifically assign 1 admission staff person to manage hand -stamps and re- admission. • Use delineators at Pedestrian Bridge to better control admission traffic flow. • Designate exact change lines at admission points. • Provide a portable toilet for staff -use only. • Rent hand -sanitizing stations for placement by portable restrooms. • Provide an ATM machine (can be leased) at the park. • Review radio etiquette with all event staff. • Address safety concern of crossing the street from high school lots along access road. • Require attraction vendors to more clearly post what attractions are included with their wristbands (two separate companies provided attractions; pubic confused by wristbands.) • Add more food vendors and a possible third food court. • Secure a different band for the feature band. • Address issue to illegal vendors north of the Pedestrian Bridge. • Increase number of "Do Not Enter" signs at the restricted zone. • Increase security staffing along hillside near the stage and tennis courts, particularly later in the day. • Have ARES volunteers route all calls through the Command Post. • Put lighting in or above portable toilets. • Weave caution tape through barricades along access road. • Increase signage at entrance points regarding admission fees.
