Tom Harris of the Moorpark Field Hockey Federation addressed questions of the Council and Commission. He indicated the field hockey facility must be secured for protection purposes, but the proposed facility would be available for use by the community. The expected maintenance costs to the City would only be in the form of janitorial costs. It was a consensus of the Council that the field hockey facility is welcomed in the park, and the Field Hockey Federation and an appropriate Council committee should work together in preparing a Joint Use Agreement to be brought back to the Council for further consideration. The agreement should also include firm costs the City of Moorpark would be expected to expend. Should an agreement not be reached, the designated area for the field hockey facility could then revert back into a grass field. The Council felt an accurate phasing map of the park with overlays for each phase would be very helpful.
