As the City Council is aware, the Parks and Recreation Department has
been operating the STAR CLUB program for over two weeks. This program,
which provides supervised after -school recreation for grades
Kindergarten thru sixth grade, has been well received by the residents
of Moorpark. The program currently services 40 children in 33 families
in Moorpark and has a waiting list of 19 families.
The Moorpark Unified School District indicated in discussions before
the program began that the STAR CLUB participants could be transported
by the MUSD bus service. Unfortunately, the transporting of the
children has impacted the school bus system to the point that the
district can no longer provide this service. It is not an issue of
cost but rather shuttling their regular bus users. Because of this
the school district has notified us they will not be able to transport
STAR CLUB participants as originally agreed upon after October 9, 1987.
In the original development of STAR CLUB, transportation was a vital
ingredient to the program. This is reflected by the fact that 33 out
of 40 participants rely on this service and a decrease in enrollment
can be expected without transportation services. Attachment I
indicates the September projected budget for STAR CLUB. This reflects
typical monthly revenues and expenditures throughout the school year.

t
To proceed with the operation of the program two alternatives may be
considered.
1) Contract with Santa Barbara Transit to transport STAR CLUB
children to the program site. The YMCA, which has a
similar program to ours at Flory school, is interested in
sharing the cost. The monthly cost would be approximately
$1,200 if we proceed with sharing the cost of $2,400 month
for the service with the YMCA. To recover this additional
expenditure, an additional charge of $30 per participant
will be added to the present $120 STAR CLUB fee. It is
projected that this program cost to parents is still very
reasonable.
2) Notify parents that transportation to STAR CLUB will no
longer be available.
RECOMMENDATION
Proceed with Option 1 and contract with Santa Barbara Transit and
authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement with concurrence of City
Manager & City Attorney.
