MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Stephanie Anderson, Recreation Services Manager
DATE: 10/19/2022 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement between the City of
Moorpark and Moorpark Soccer Club, Inc. to Allow Use of Portable
Lights
BACKGROUND
In 2021, the City Council authorized three-year Facility Use Agreements for several youth
sports organizations, including Moorpark Soccer Club, Inc. (MSC). These Facility Use
Agreements grant priority use of, and reduced fees for, certain City facilities. The
Agreements also specify the conditions of use and the requirements the youth sports
organizations must meet to maintain their rights under the Agreements.
DISCUSSION
Moorpark Municipal Code (MMC) Section 12.16.020 (Hours of Operation) establishes that
park facilities close at sunset unless otherwise approved by City Council. City Council
Resolution No. 2016-3534 (Lighted Park Facility Hours) establishes the closing time of lit
park facilities as 10:00 p.m.
The Premises assigned to MSC include the upper and lower fields at Campus Canyon
Park, which close at sunset. However, Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP) closes at
10:00 p.m. due to the fact that certain softball fields, athletic fields and tennis courts are
installed with lights. Per MSC’s agreement, a field at AVCP may be substituted for a field
at Campus Canyon Park, so long as the use does not interfere with other youth sports
organization’s use agreements. In order to expand their practice times and use fields
after sunset, MSC has requested permission to secure an athletic field at AVCP and use
portable lights. Because the use of portable lights is not included in the Facility Use
Agreement with MSC, an amendment to the Agreement is required to allow for this
provision.
Item: 9.B.

Honorable City Council
10/19/2022 Regular Meeting
Page 2
A draft amendment is attached to this report. It should be noted that this will not set a
precedent for use of portable lights, as a similar clause allowing use of portable lights at
AVCP was already included in American Youth Soccer Organization’s current Facility Use
Agreement. Staff has also confirmed that an athletic field is available for use by MSC at
AVCP.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City anticipates a potential minor increase in net rental revenue from the extension
of rental use of fields after sunset by MSC. Staff does not anticipate extra costs due to
the extension.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action does not support a current strategic directive.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement between the City of Moorpark and Moorpark
Soccer Club, Inc. to allow use of portable lights at Arroyo Vista Community Park; and
authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement, subject to final language approval of
the City Manager.
