In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Hare stated
that there are approximately 8,000 households in the City
of Moorpark.
Mary Crockford, 7189 Walnut Canyon Road, spoke as
President of the Moorpark Friends of the Library. She
thanked the City for its past support of the library and
said the formation of a benefit assessment district seems
to be the best way to rectify the lack of funds that are
needed for library support. She requested that the
Council join the other cities in the County who have
supported putting such a measure on the ballot.
Councilmember Wozniak said the Council needs information
from the proposed County funded consultant study before
they can support putting a measure on the ballot.
Councilmember Brown indicated that she does not have a
problem with placing an assessment district on the
ballot, but she does not like the open ended result of
such an act, should it pass. She indicated also that if
a measure would pass, it encourages both the County and
the State not to lend support to the City.
Mayor Lawrason said the federation concept might work,
but he believes the City needs more information at this
point. He indicated that at some time, the City may have
to assume responsibility for the library.
Mr. Kueny clarified that the cities of Ojai, Ventura and
Camarillo, as referred to this evening by a speaker,
placed a parcel tax on the ballot but what is being
discussed this evening is a benefit assessment district
not a parcel tax. He continued by stating that it would
be premature to take a straw vote of the Council because
that is the purpose of the JPA to get more information
and to reevaluate this issue.
Amy Bauer, 4706 Maureen Lane, requested that the Council
support trying to get the study done in time to make the
November ballot.
Councilmember Hunter said he has reservations about
forming an assessment district. He said there are a lot
of questions to be answered first.

seconded a motion to: 1) Express the City's support for a
consultant to conduct a management audit and operational study
of the County's Library Service system, to be funded by the
County; and 2) Subject to the Board of Supervisors' decision
to fund the Moorpark Library at its current number of hours of
operation per week in the 1996/97 County budget, approve the
City's participation in the Library Services JPA pending an
agreement that cities would have the opportunity to opt out at
the completion of the study and would not be asked to
contribute financial resources, and subject to final language
approval by the City Manager and City Attorney. The motion
carried by unanimous voice vote.
Mr. Kueny highlighted items that have been accomplished
by City staff during the fiscal year. He introduced Ken
Gilbert as the Director of Public Works and requested
that he outline how the Public Works Department serves
the citizens of Moorpark.
Mr. Gilbert identified what the responsibilities of the
City's Public Works Department are. He reviewed some of
the more recent and ongoing projects.
B. Consider Supporting AB 3365 (Campbell) Regarding Gang
Suppression Funds. Staff Recommendation: Support AB 3365
and direct the Mayor to communicate the City's support to
the appropriate legislative committee.
Mary Lindley gave the staff report.
Councilmember Perez stated that there are other monies
available to cities that are not available to nonprofit
organizations and that cities should not compete with
nonprofit organizations for the gang suppression funds.
He said the Council should not support this legislation.
Councilmember Hunter stated that the whole objective is
for gang suppression, whether nonprofit groups or the
00005G

cities accomplish it. He said if the City can play a
role, then it needs to participate.

Councilmember Hunter said he agrees with the idea of the
workshop, but does not support the hiring of a
facilitator.
Councilmember Brown stated that the workshop is a good
idea, but says a facilitator is not necessary.
In response to Council question, Mr. Kueny suggested that
the special meeting scheduled for May 29 contain three
items on that agenda: 1) Review of the budget document;
2) Review of the chart of accounts; and 3) Presentation
of the 1996/1997 Goals and Objectives. He continued by
stating that the Goals and Objectives workshop could be
scheduled for the Town Hall Meeting on June 22 at the

can be helpful at workshops.
