In response to Commissioner Badoud, Mayor Lawrason said he encouraged Commissioners to call or come to City Council meetings to speak to the City Council . Councilmember Hunter said it is important for the Commission to identify if they are speaking as a result of the consensus of the Commission or whether they are speaking as an individual on an issue. Commissioner Hartley requested that the Council consider conference expenses for Commissioners. He said sometimes it would be more desirable to attend a conference on a Minutes of the Joint City Council and Parks & Recreation Commission Moorpark, California Page 2 July 1, 1996 specific topic rather than the CPRS annual conference. The way the budget is worded the Commissioners thought they could only attend the CPRS conference. Mr. Kueny suggested that the Commission might want to agendize a discussion of conference expenses on one of their agendas . He said the result of the Commissions discussion could then be provided to the Council. In response to Commissioner Hartley, Mr. Kueny suggested that a library copy of the City Council meeting could be made that the Parks & Recreation Commissioners, Planning Commissioners or the general public could check out and review. In response to Commission question, Mr. Kueny said the Council might wish to consider allowing Parks & Recreation and Planning Commission members to speak under Public Comments regarding an item rather than waiting until later in the meeting when the item appeared on the agenda. He said that would necessitate the City Council waiving their rules of procedure. Commissioner Badoud said he would be interested in helping to obtain more programming for Channel 10 . Councilmember Perez said he would like to be better educated on what types of programming are allowable and what the restrictions of our franchise agreement are regarding developing programming. Commissioner Thompson requested that the Council clarify their position on the priority of teen programming and the Teen Center. In response, Mr. Kueny said the Council has set aside $200, 000 for a Teen Center and there is an increased budget for teen programming. Commissioner Thompson requested that the Council clarify their "vision" of the Commissions role with regard to the Teen Council . Mayor Lawrason said while he believed there should be some interface with the Teen Council and the Parks & Recreation Commission, he saw the Teen Council as a stand alone body. Minutes of the Joint City Council and Parks & Recreation Commission Moorpark, California Page 3 July 1, 1996 Mr. Kueny said the Teen Council is really an extension of staff. He said that the Recreation Supervisors would probably take turns coming to the Parks and Recreation Commission meetings and keeping them informed on this and other matters of their respective responsibilities . CONSENSUS : By consensus, the Council determined to clarify that the Teen Council as a stand alone body was the direction they intended for that body. In response to Commissioner Hall, Mayor Lawrason explained that the City Manager and Dr. Duffy are having a series of discussions regarding the sharing of recreational facilities, such as a pool . Mr. Kueny said ideas of sharing certain recreation facilities would be looked at in the next draft of the youth plan. In response to Commissioner Hartley, Mr. Kueny said that the Planning Corporation, the City' s contractor, is starting to work on the Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Element update. He estimated it would take about two years from now for completion. Councilmember Hunter requested the Commission' s thoughts on constructing a fourth tennis court at Tierra Rejada Park. Commissioner Butler said there is a great need for a fourth tennis court but she felt the Arroyo Vista Community Park was the appropriate place for the court. Councilmember Perez said he was "leery" of taking funds from another zone and putting them into another park outside that zone. Mayor Lawrason commented that the tennis club offer is "somewhat overwhelming". He said he was concerned that there would be some residents shut out from play because of the cost. Councilmember Brown said she could not support using funds from another zone to construct a tennis court at Tierra Rejada Park. She said that Arroyo Vista Community Park seemed the more logical choice for an additional court. Councilmember Wozniak explained that the Commission must think seriously about the cost for every new amenity and park. Minutes of the Joint City Council and Parks & Recreation Commission Moorpark, California Page 4 July 1, 1996 CONSENSUS : By consensus, the Council determined to direct staff to place the discussion of the tennis courts at Arroyo Vista Community Park on the agenda again and possibly direct an Ad Hoc Committee review of the subject. Mayor Lawrason requested input from the Commission on the use of the Multi-Purpose court at Arroyo Vista Community Park. Commissioner Badoud said he did not support putting up hoops at the court.
