D. Presentation by Ventura County Transportation Commission on
Congestion Management Program
Chris Stevens from VCTC made a presentation on the Congestion
Management Program. He highlighted the Program and provided
background as to why it is being prepared and the program's
intent to make certain that traffic generated by new
development is kept to a minimal impact on the regional
system. He said that Proposition 111 mandates that in order
to receive the local subvention of gas tax funding (Ventura
County will receive $7.5 million) the County must have an
adopted Congestion Management Program in place by December 1,
1991 and each of the jurisdictions in those counties must be
found, on an annual basis, to be complying with that
Congestion Management Plan in order to receive their share. He
said there are five elements to the proposed plan, but the two
most critical elements are the level of service standards and
the land use standards. He indicated that the plan must
include state highways and primary arterials. The definition
of "primary arterial" has been left up to the cities to
identify. In Moorpark, Tierra Rejada Road and Spring Road
have been identified as primary arterials. He also indicated
that most of the cities within Ventura County have adopted
level of service "C".
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Stevens said that
San Diego County has selected level of service "D" and
possibly a couple other more rural- oriented counties. Level
"D" is a fairly aggressive level of service standard, relative
to the rest of the state.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Stevens replied
that "aggressive means that we are striving for a higher
goal."
Councilmember Montgomery said that Cities in the County have
already established goals well in excess of that. He said
"the threshold of criteria here is not a goal, it is a set of
punitive measures."
Councilmember Montgomery expressed his concern that under the
Plan as outlined, a non - elected, regional government body can
remove control from a local elected body and assess punitive
measures and directly affect a City's budget.

5. REORDERING OF, AND ADDITIONS TO, THE AGENDA:
November 6, 1991
Mr. Kueny requested that an item regarding the Emergency Use
Authorization issued by the County of Ventura for Blue Star
Ready Mix, Inc. be added to the agenda as there is only a 10
day appeal period and information on the item was not received
until after the posting of the agenda.
Mr. Kueny requested that an item regarding emergency medical
services in the community be added to the agenda since a need
to act on this item had arisen after the posting of the
agenda.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Talley
seconded a motion to add as item 11.J. Emergency Use Authorization
No. 8 issued by the County of Ventura for Blue Star Ready Mix,
Inc., need for action having arisen after the posting of the
agenda. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Talley
seconded a motion to add as item 11.K. Consideration of Emergency
Medical Services in the Community, the need for action having
arisen after the posting of the agenda. The motion carried by
unanimous voice vote.
Mr. Kueny indicated that regarding item 11.F., the grading on
Science Drive and Peach Hill Road through the Area of the
Carlsberg Development, a new staff report had been prepared
but since neither he nor the Council had read the report, he
would recommend that the Council not accept the new report.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to defer a
decision on accepting new material on item 11.F. until the item
comes up for discussion later in the agenda.
6. PUBLIC COMMENT:
Keith Millhouse, 12417 Willow Grove Court, spoke as a member
of the Board of the Willows II Homeowners' Association
regarding Item 11.C., the request by Willows II Homeowners'
Association to discuss standing water on the sidewalk in their
neighborhood. He indicated that the repair of the water
drainage problem is the responsibility of the City and not the
Homeowners' Association and that any liability will be the
City's if anyone is hurt as a result of the standing water on
the sidewalk.
Connie Lawrason, 4291 Ambermeadow Street, congratulated Paul
Lawrason as being the City's elected Mayor for one year and
John Wozniak for his one -year anniversary on the City Council.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 4
November 6, 1991
Mrs. Lawrason made the following comments regarding the
Congestion Management Plan: 1) the Plan appears to be a final
document instead of a draft, 2) there is not adequate time for
the public in general to respond to the Plan; she suggested
the City Council request an extension of time for comments to
be accepted by the County Transportation Commission, 3) a full
Environmental Impact Report should be required instead of a
Negative Declaration, 4) the public has not been made aware of
the Congestion Management Plan and needs to be, and 5) she
asked if the Draft Initial Study and Proposed Negative
Declaration had been received by the City Councilmembers.
Richard Cooper, 1826 N. Claudia, Ventura, spoke on behalf of
Larry Gratton and himself, as members of the Ventura County
Grand Jury. He stated they are present to introduce
themselves and that they will attend City Council meetings
periodically in the future.
John Roberts, 15787 Graduate Circle, spoke regarding Item
11.I., concerns with the location of a restroom building at
Campus Canyon Park. He clarified that the address for their
Homeowners' Association is P. O. Box 132 and stated that Site
No. 2 for the restroom is acceptable to their Association.
Mr. Roberts also stated concerns regarding Item 8.I.,
establishing No Parking and Passenger Loading Zones on Hearon
Drive. He said there is not enough parking for users of
Campus Canyon Park.
Eloise Brown, 13193 Annette Street, spoke regarding the
General Plan Update process. She indicated that this process
is accomplished every five years and citizens need to express
their concerns now. She said a three - minute limit on comments
should not be imposed by the Planning Commission when the
public is speaking regarding this subject, but rather as much
time as needed should be allowed for this topic.
Cheri Risley, 15295 Monroe Avenue, spoke regarding agenda Item
11.I. She presented petitions to the City Clerk regarding the
location of the restroom in Campus Canyon Park. She added
that the general consensus of the citizens who signed the
petition is that the restroom building should be moved from
near the street to behind the basketball court. This would
provide maximum frontage and separate the washroom from the
residences there. She also requested 1) that the restroom be
locked between dusk and 8:30 a.m. to prevent schoolchildren
from entering while they are waiting for the school buses in
the mornings, 2) that it be cleaned on a daily basis, and 3)
that the Homeowners Association be allowed to meet before a
final decision is made by the City Council.

November 6, 1991
Dorothy Ventimiglia, 15247 Monroe Avenue, spoke regarding the
relocation of the restroom in Campus Canyon Park. She agreed
that the preferred location is Site No. 2 as proposed in the
staff report.
Mark Maraun, 15253 Monroe, said his concerns about the
restroom have already been addressed.
Ethel Sulkis, 270 Sierra Avenue, spoke as a volunteer to the
Foodshare Program. She requested the City Council waive the
fees for the use of the Community Center as a distribution
site for the Foodshare Program.
Anna Bell Sessler, 6061 Gabbert Road, requested the City
Council waive the fees for the use of the Community Center for
the Foodshare Program.
Ruth Farabaugh, 13543 E. Cedarpine, spoke representing
Northview Homeowners Association. She asked if there is an
ordinance to address the problem of motorhomes parked on
residential streets. She said it is a problem in the
neighborhood where she lives.
Tony Bellasalma, 11823 Maplecrest Street, stated that the fees
should not be waived for the use of the Community Center by
the Foodshare Program representatives because that would not
be consistent with the City's lease agreement for the Senior
Center.

In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Kueny indicated
that the Council has not yet established criteria for waiving
fees for use of City owned facilities. He said the Public
Works /Facilities Committee is to address the subject at their
next meeting.
Councilmember Talley expressed concern that dissension between
the two senior organizations in the community might forestall
programs such as Food Share.
Councilmember Montgomery suggested that the City continue to
assess fees and defer a final decision on whether to waive
fees for facilities use until the Public Works/ Facilities
Committee meets and drafts criteria for waiving fees and
returns with the draft to the full Council for action. In the
interim, he said regular fees should be assessed.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10

Mayor Lawrason said he felt the rental fees should be waived
but not the staff time and expense. He also requested that
the nonprofit status of the Moorpark Active Seniors should be
determined.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined that the tax
exempt status of the Moorpark Active Seniors should be determined.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Perez
seconded a motion to direct staff to continue to assess fees and
all other standard requirements of facility lease /rental and to
direct the Public Works/ Facilities Committee to bring back the
criteria on the waiving of fees for use of City owned facilities to
the full Council as expeditiously as possible after which a waiver
and /or rebate for the Moorpark Active Seniors would be considered.
The motion carried by voice vote 4 -1, Mayor Lawrason dissenting.
B. Consider Congestion Management Program. Staff Recommendation:
Direct staff to forward comments to Ventura County
Transportation Commission.
Mr. Gilbert gave the staff report. He said he had an
opportunity to talk to Mr. Stevens regarding the City's
concerns about intersections which may be at a level of
service "E" or "F" but are not on the list. He said the City
will have the opportunity over the next year to add any of
those to the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) with no penalty.
Of particular concern would be the Poindexter Avenue at
Moorpark Avenue intersection.
Mayor Lawrason said that he is in a unique position in that he
is an Alternate on the Ventura County Transportation
Commission. He said his concerns are mirrored by the staff's
comments which will go back to VCTC. He said the implication
of VCTC's involvement in land use decisions at the local level
is of concern as is the setting of standards for traffic.
Additionally of concern, he said, is that roles, duties and
responsibilities are not clearly defined in the document.
Mayor Lawrason indicated that he felt the City should ask for
more time for review and input regarding the document.
Mayor Lawrason indicated that the public hearing on the CMP is
to be held December 6th, at 10:30 a.m., in the Council
Chambers of Camarillo City Hall. Mr. Lawrason said he
suggests VCTC might want to have a hearing at night to obtain
additional input from citizens who can not attend a daytime
meeting.
Councilmember Perez said the Association of Ventura County
Cities (AVCC) should look at the CMP.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 11
November 6, 1991
Councilmember Montgomery said the determination that CEQA
requirements can be met by a negative declaration is
completely false. He said the CMP will have tremendous impact
on land use decisions. He said it will most certainly alter,
perhaps adversely in some areas, transportation and
circulation. He said it may very well have a severe and very
significant impact on the solid waste stream in this
community. He said it will most certainly have an impact on
population. He said it needs to be analyzed in a full
environmental impact report.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember Perez
seconded a motion to authorize the Mayor to sign a letter to VCTC
requesting a longer review period for the Congestion Management
Plan and to request the distribution of all appropriate documents
regarding the Plan and directing staff to include comments made
tonight by Councilmembers and staff, and any other comments deemed
necessary. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to place this on
the Council's agenda for further consideration at the next
regularly scheduled meeting.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting a recess was declared. The time was
9:17 p.m. The Council reconvened at 9:50 p.m.
C. Consider Request by Willows II Homeowners Association to
Discuss Standing Water on Sidewalk. Staff Recommendation:
Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
Mr. Gilbert gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Kueny said the
Homeowners' Association owns the property from the curb to the
property line of the individual lots. He said it was the
intent of the residential planned development permit and the
map that the City have a sidewalk easement but record of an
easement has not been found.
Mr. Gilbert indicated that the way to solve the standing water
situation is to construct a transport system to convey the
water under the sidewalk to a nearby gutter or storm drain.
He said a title search could be done and this would reveal any
easement.
In response to Mayor Lawrason, Mr. Gilbert said that Urban
West Communities constructed the sidewalk and might have some
responsibility.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 12
November 6, 1991
BY CONSENSUS: By consensus the Council determined to direct staff
to estimate the costs to correct the problem, to continue to search
for any record of a City easement, to determine who has
responsibility for mitigation of the problem and to prepare a
report back to the Council for the next regularly scheduled
meeting.
D. Consider General Plan update/sphere of Influence Study Hearing
and Environmental Review Process. Staff Recommendation:

Mr. Richards gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Kueny said staff
would look into a single or double -sided insert in the

as advertising on cable television.

Commission General Plan public hearing on November 18, 1991.

of Influence study, no later than January 6, 1992; and to set a

voice vote.
E. Consider Design for Walnut Street and Charles Street. Staff
Recommendation: Revise as necessary and approve conceptual
plans.
Mr. Lovett gave the staff report.
In response to Mayor Lawrason, Mr. Gilbert said that a letter
was sent to all property owners on Walnut Street advising them
of the proposed plan.
In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Gilbert said that

ultimately be beneficial to the Moorpark Unified School
District.

building at Alternate Site 2 at the southeast corner of the

Mr. Richards explained that authorization had been granted to
allow Blue Star to exceed the current operational time
limitation of 6:00 p.m. for the departure and return of trucks

In response to Councilmember Perez, Councilmember Montgomery
said no funds would be authorized for commitment by the City
