B. Tony Simen, 726 Nogales Avenue, spoke as a resident of
Virginia Colony, an area adjacent to the proposed site of
paintball games. He spoke in opposition to the approval
of this site for the games.
Mr. Simen requested that this item be placed as an
urgency item to this evening's agenda.
Councilmember Wozniak said it is his intention to add
this item to the agenda for the City Council meeting of
February 8, 1992.
C. John J. Aguirre, 14458 Colonia Avenue, spoke as a
Virginia Colony resident. He spoke with regard to the
proposed paintball games site and said he felt his
concerns about traffic and safety were not given proper
consideration by the Planning Commission.
D. Karen Flock, 11011 Azahar Street, Saticoy, representing
Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation, was present to
answer questions regarding Consent Calendar item no. 8.R.
E. Kathy Jackson, 6542 -D Marquette Street, spoke regarding
a family entertainment center that she wishes to open in
the Moorpark Town Center. She said the City staff
advised her that the Conditional Use Permit for this
business would be rejected due to the fact the
classification of the business does not meet the parking
requirements. She requested the Council review the
parking ordinance and revise it.
Councilmember Montgomery said that the Community
Development Committee and City staff could meet with Mrs.
Jackson to discuss revision of the classification of her
business to possibly resolve this situation.
F. Alan R. Walters, 5228 Longfellow Way, Oxnard, spoke in
favor of the proposed site of the paintball games. He
said they were held in the City previously and he sees no

Assessment District and the Moorpark Parks Maintenance
Assessment District. She said she hopes the public will
be aware of the public hearings that will occur in
relation to this item. She encouraged the City Council
to keep the parks maintenance costs to a minimum as costs
are rising.

Mrs. Brown also questioned if the paintball games that
were previously conducted in Moorpark were legal.
She also indicated that she recently observed a City
vehicle parked on the west side of Moorpark Avenue near
High Street to allow the Code Enforcement Officer to walk
to a nearby building. She said he should have parked
legally and not tied up traffic at that site.
H. Connie Lawrason, 4291 Ambermeadow Street, expressed
concern about the blocking of the railroad crossings for
long periods of time. She said she recently viewed an
18 -wheel vehicle maneuvering around the arms which were
blocking traffic unnecessarily.
In response to Councilmember Talley, Lt. Geoff Dean said
the Sheriff's Department has contacted Southern Pacific
with no cooperation. He said they need exact
documentation as to when and how long the crossings are
blocked so prosecution can begin for the violation. He
confirmed that the legal limit for the crossings to be
blocked is 10 minutes. Lt. Dean continued by saying the
Sheriff's Department will compile the facts and will need
witnesses who are willing to come forward and testify if
necessary later on.
Councilmember Perez suggested that perhaps the Moorpark
News Mirror would participate in the gathering of
information, also, due to the proximity of one of the
crossings to their office.
I. Gerry Goldstein, 11932 Los Angeles Avenue, said he took
photographs of the railroad crossing one day recently and
it was blocked for a total of 45 minutes.

11. ACTION /DISCUSSION ITEMS:
February 5, 1992
A. Consider Possible Service Adjustment for Building and
Safety Services. Staff Recommendation: Reduce available
hours for inspection services. (Continued Item ll.A.
from 1/15/92).
Mr. Kueny recommended the limitation of the Building
Inspector's hours in the office to two hours, two days a
week -- suggesting perhaps 8:30 - 10:30 a.m. Tuesdays and
Thursdays. He recommended an implementation date of
February 18, 1992 and publication of the change. Mr.

seconded a motion to approve the staff recommendation made by

B. Consider Approval of a Mandatory Refuse Collection
Enforcement Policy. Staff Recommendation: Approve the
Mandatory Refuse Collection Policy upon revision of the
refuse agreements and direct staff to review the refuse
agreements identifying the haulers, as agents of the
City.
Mary Lindley gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Talley, Ms. Lindley
indicated that it is not staff's intent to pass any
service charge on to the customer. She said those in
noncompliance would be held accountable to the City.
Councilmember Montgomery said he would like a formal
commitment on the part of the haulers that they will not
charge the City for acting in the capacity of agent for
collection of refuse payments. He suggested this matter
be referred back to the Council committee with direction
to discuss the enforcement procedure with the haulers and
staff before coming back to Council with a report.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mayor Lawrason
suggested that the committee consider a mechanism for
exceptions to compliance to appeal the enforcement issue.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 12
February 5, 1992
MOTION: Councilmember Perez moved and Councilmember Wozniak
seconded a motion to direct staff to implement an
informational campaign to inform residents of the requirements
of the City's Solid Waste Ordinance and to meet with the
City's franchise haulers and then the Public Works/ Facilities
Committee to revise the refuse contracts, identifying the
haulers as agents of the City and to report back to Council
with a refuse collection enforcement policy to consider
including an appeal process for those exceptions which may
become apparent in the enforcement phase. The motion carried
by unanimous voice vote.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting a recess was declared. The time
was 9:10 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:35 p.m.
C. Consider Mobile Household Hazardous Waste Program. Staff
Recommendation: Decline the City's participation in the
Mobile Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program.
Mary Lindley gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Perez, Ms. Lindley said the
City needs to implement the program by 1995 and will have
the option to participate in a possible Countywide
program at a later time if the City declines to
participate now.
Councilmember Montgomery commented that this is a very
expensive program and said the City is trying to identify
one or two locations within our City to receive
recyclable hazardous material such as motor oil at a much
lower cost.
MOTION: Councilmember Perez moved and Councilmember Wozniak
seconded a motion to decline City participation in the Mobile
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program. The motion
carried by unanimous voice vote.

Angeles Avenue East of Sprinq Road) . Staff
Recommendation: That the Council determine the funding

design development.
Ken Gilbert gave the staff report.
Councilmember Perez recommended that Caltrans be
contacted again as a possible funding alternative.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 13
February 5, 1992
Councilmember Montgomery commented that the Redevelopment
Agency could be identified as an appropriate funding
source. He continued by stating that the Los Angeles
Area of Contribution could be the loaning source until
such time as the Redevelopment Agency could repay the
loan.
Councilmember Wozniak agreed that funding from Caltrans
for this project should be pursued further. He indicated
that the property owners are anxious for this project to
proceed and he agreed that a loan from the Los Angeles
Area of Contribution fund is the appropriate funding
source if Caltrans is not a viable alternative.
In response to Mayor Lawrason, Councilmember Montgomery
said it is the responsibility of the City to replace the
wall as the City is the party who removed the landscaping
which had been there previously. He indicated that the
City is obligated to replace the buffer for privacy and
security reasons.
Councilmember Perez said he agreed that the Los Angeles
Avenue Area of Contribution fund should be the funding
source for the loan until such time that the
Redevelopment Agency becomes active.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Mr. Kueny
clarified that the requested $25,000 would also cover the
initial design costs and that the planned landscaping
adjacent to the wall was funded from the Los Angeles Area
of Contribution.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to allow
Eloise Brown to address the Council on this subject.
Eloise Brown, 13193 Annette Street, urged the Council to
direct staff to pursue the funding from Caltrans as an
alternative. She indicated that there may be funds set
aside for this that are not readily apparent.
Mrs. Brown also indicated that the Council needs to meet
as the Redevelopment Agency to consider the loan that
would be repaid from Redevelopment funds to the Los
Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 14
February 5, 1992
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember

as shown on Exhibit 2 of the staff report, to appropriate
$25,000 from the Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution (AOC)

until such time as Redevelopment monies are available to repay
the loan; to direct staff to proceed with the preparation of
a preliminary design and cost estimate for the project; to
direct staff to obtain from all affected property owners

E. Consider Housing Assistance Program. Staff
Recommendation: Approve Housing Assistance Program.
Richard Hare gave the staff report.
Councilmember Montgomery clarified that this assistance
is being offered only to employees of the City of
Moorpark and not to the elected or appointed officials.
Councilmember Perez requested that he be provided a copy
of the Community Reinvestment Act which shows that this
program meets that criteria. He also indicated that his
only concern is that the program is being offered to
selective positions within the City and not to all
employees.
Councilmember Montgomery explained that ultimately it
would be wise to consider making this program available
to all employees of the City, but due to cost constraints
that cannot be done at this time.
Councilmember Talley stated that for the record this
program is not to benefit City officials, Councilmembers
or Commissioners, and that he, too, would like to see the
program extended to all City employees in the future.
