Consider Ventura Council of Governments’ Request to Use the City Council Chambers at City Hall on September 11, 2025. Staff Recommendation: Approve the Ventura Council of Governments’ request for rental use of the City Hall Council Chambers on September 11, 2025. (Staff: Stephanie Anderson, Recreation Services Manager) Item: 9.B. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Stephanie Anderson, Recreation Services Manager DATE: 08/06/2025 Special Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Ventura Council of Governments’ Request to Use the City Council Chambers at City Hall on September 11, 2025 BACKGROUND On November 4, 2020, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2020-3963, updating rules and regulations governing City facility rentals. Because the Resolution predates the City’s acquisition of the new City Hall at 323 Science Drive, it has not been identified as a rentable facility. Therefore, use of the facility requires City Council approval. It is anticipated that Resolution No. 2020-3963 will be revised in the fall of this year to include the new City Hall location. The Ventura Council of Governments (VCOG) is requesting use of the City Council Chambers on September 11, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m. to hold its regular VCOG meeting. VCOG is a voluntary joint powers authority representing Ventura County and its ten cities. VCOG’s goal is to facilitate cooperative subregional and regional planning, coordination and technical assistance on issues of mutual concern. DISCUSSION As mentioned previously, the current Facility Rental policy has not yet been updated to include the City Council Chambers at 323 Science Drive or establish rental rates for the new City Hall. VCOG is requesting to rent the City Council Chambers at the new City Hall to hold a regular VCOG meeting. No other facilities or broadcasting equipment have been requested. Under the City’s facility rental policy, governmental agencies directly serving Moorpark residents qualify for use of a facility at the City’s direct costs (Group 1 rate). Since VCOG includes representation of Moorpark, it satisfies the requirement to be a Group 1 rental. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council allow VCOG to rent the Council Chambers at City Hall for their September meeting, at the Group 1 rate. Since there are no anticipated direct costs to the City, there would be no fees associated with the rental.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the Ventura Council of Governments’ request for rental use of the City Hall Council Chambers on September 11, 2025. 3084
