Analysis rind Report
Pursuant to Section 33401
of the California Community Redevelopment Law
Regarding Evidence of Financial Burden or Detriment
to the Moorpark Mosqu:tc 4batement District
The service of the Moorpark Mosquito Abatement District
( "District ") is directly related to protecting the health of people
and their environment. The redevelopment project could result in
increased housing units, more resident;, more visitors, more water
use, more animals, more vegetat.on anc. more breeding sites for
nuisance and vector organisms. "he ! ces :1-, is an ;.ncr.eased demand
for the District's services.
One of the main concerns of the District is that the
level of service to the public remain high and equitable. To
maintain this service, the Distr.,:t responds to specific requests
made by the public, and has also c. ve-opc�i a number of programs for
vector control.
At the time that the Redevelopment Plan for the Moorpark
Redevelopment Project ( "Plan ") wa�;adopted in 1989, 30.3 percent of
the total formal requests made to the District were from the
redevelopment project area. During the past few years, the
requests to the District from the redevelopment project area have
been approximately 20 percent. F•t -he acreage of the redevelop-
ment project area comprises only ' percent of the District area.
Thus, the number and type of reque� -t.s are :significant and
proportionally higher than the nun t er r(,c �.ved from the District as
a whole.
The redevelopment pr iect area consists of older
properties and a far denser population than other areas of the
District. Therefore, the deman(: for services is high and will
continue to grow. For example, swimming pools tend to be more
frequently neglected, resulting ir-a neigtborhood mosquito problem.
Garbage is less likely to be b�,(Iged and wrapped, resulting in
neighborhood fly problems. More(-. r, t:hc presence of insects, rats
or other organisms cause discomfo.- : Or tt e resideni s and visitors,
a decrease in property value s -1 i i,�press Lor of the loca.'
economy.
Another concern of th(
health vector control agency, it
emergencies. The District muE-•1
quickly hire personnel, and par(
control vastly increased popul,,t.
and protect Moorpark residents !r
end, the District has establ i s-ic.,:
and control Yellow Jacket <; I-ind (
SCN159162 -
P.,st.r ct is that as a public
must t e prep'ired to deal with
t-.ave enough reserve funds tc
and machinery to
-)f c .:,ease- carr.yinq organisms
out.i.� c' jks of disease. Po t.h i s;
r..1r1•i . )f programs to monitor
The potential for one _or- more tloods within the life of
the redevelopment project is high, and would result in producing
large numbers of mosquitos, Lncludi.ng those that can transmit
malaria and viral encephalitis. addit -- -ion to the mosquito -borne
diseases such as encephalitis an:l malat io, there is a continued
threat from flies which can c,irr} t,e pathogens that cause
hepatitis, typhus fever, cholera, anthrax:, poliomyelitis, myiasis,
intestinal worms, salmonella, dysenter -y, diarrhea and other enteric
human and animal diseases. Flea- borne El.ague and tick -borne Lyme
disease are a threat to this region, ..nJ the District will be
involved with state and county heel t h aut: h )r i t ies to prevent their
spread if they should occur in tl c:• Mc)orl jr �; area.
The District believes t'.:,tt revenges to the District will
not be sufficient in light of �he redevc,Lopment project. The use
of pesticides is continually incrt,rsing. Phe number of gallons of
Larviciding oils has increased fr •:•1 39.9 :gallons Ln 1989 to 67.13
gallons in 1992. The correspond.:,a a_r;s that were treated have
risen from between 7.98 -13.30 i 1189 to 1.3.43 -22.38 in 1992.
Similarly, the number of gallons 3ici..lus Thuringiensis :iquids
has increased from zero in 1989 c.17 gallons in 1992. Corre-
spondingly, the number of acres t ~eased --else from zero in 1989 to
32.66 -65.32 in 1992. The total acres treated for mosquito control
has increased from 16.01 -40.61 ac:��s in 1989 to 54.33 - 120.55 acres
in 1992. With the increased heus :lq ini-.s, population, water use,
etc. as a result of the rode IOpME!it project, the use of
pesticides will incr. e-3se even nc r i - 3mc < i I l y.
In conjunct Lon with t.h
District, the District may hav(.�'i
a corresponding increase in expen
in addition to the normal increas-
ing. For example, in a 1989--9)
salaries totaling $57,929.15.

Hand Delivered
I am in receipt of your letter dated March 5, 1993. I have
reviewed my files and found two letters that the School District
submitted with respect to the Environmental Impact Report
concerning the Moorpark Redevelopment Project. Those letters,
copies of which are attached, are dated December 15, 1988 and June
7, 1989.
I believe those letters respond to your request for documentation
concerning the financial burden or detriment that the redevelopment
plan will have on the District.
Please recall that the Redevelopment Agency and the School District
have concluded their negotiations regarding the Redevelopment Plan.
If you have any questions, please call me at the above telephone

RE: Notice of Preparation of Environmental Impact Report
concerning Moorpark Redevelopment Project
Dear Mr. Huffman:
This correspondence is submitted to you in response to the Notice
of Preparation concerning the above matter which was received by
the Moorpark Unified School District on November 21, 1988.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (the "CEQA
Guidelines "), the Moorpark Unified School District (the
"District "), as a Responsible Agency (as that term is defined in
the CEQA Guidelines), hereby submits its response to the Notice
of Preparation.
In the Notice of Preparation, there is merely a vague description
of the proposed Moorpark Redevelopment Project (the "Project ").
In particular, the description simply indicates that a
redevelopment plan may be adopted, and that the project may
include infrastructure improvements and development assistance
programs. There is no land use description and no specificity as
to which public improvements will be required and whether there
will be relocation or supplementation of existing residential
units within the Project Area. As a result, it is difficult for
the District to specifically address all possible environmental
impacts upon the schools which may be caused by the approval of
the proposed Project.
The District currently operates and maintains seven (7) schools
in Moorpark within proximity to the proposed Project. Flory
School and Chaparral Middle School in particular, are immediately
adjacent to the proposed Project and will likely suffer impacts
if the proposed Project is approved. All the schools within the
District will in all probability be impacted due to the
distribution of grades served among the seven schools as well as
the distribution of students to the K -3 schools through the
attendance area configuration. The District submits that the
Environmental Impact Report for the proposed Project should
contain consideration and analysis of the impact of &Lk proposed

Project on the schools in the District including, without
limitation, Flory and Chaparral Middle Schools. In particular,
environmental analysts should consider the likely generation of
residential development in or nearby the area subject to the
proposed Project as a result of the approval of the Project. If
commercial and industrial development will take place within the
Project Area, consideration should be given to the likely
generation of residential development resulting from the creation
of jobs within the Project Area. Thereafter, a projection of
likely increased enrollment in schools within the District should
be completed. Following this exercise, environmental analysts
should consider the likely need for additional K -12 educational
facilities and the impact upon the environment at existing
campuses which such needs may generate including without
limitation, elimination of open space, demands upon traffic
circulation, increased noise, and requirements for increased
services provided by the District. Due to the lack at the
District's campuses of certain facilities or services, or over
usage of existing facilities or services, it is likely that any
generation of increased enrollment caused by the approval of the
proposed Project will have a significant impact including,
without limitation, an environmental impact upon the District.
Due to having achieved maximum capacity or over capacity of
various facilities and services at existing campuses operated and
maintained by the District, it is likely that the proposed
Project will have fiscal impacts upon the District. The likely
need to make facilities and services available to an increased
number of students at existing facilities and those now in
planning will likely cause existing enrollees and those entering
the schools prior to the initiation, of the Project to suffer a
diminution in the quality and quantity of services provided to
them by the District. In order to provide to you information
pertinent to enrollment and facilities, the District will provide
a copy of the Master Plan and other pertinent documentation at
your request.
The District looks forward to the receipt of a draft
Environmental Impact Report concerning the proposed Project and
stands ready to submit any further information which you may
require concerning this matter.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Duffy
District Superintendent

Mr. Steve Kueny, City Manager

799 Moorpark Avenue
Moorpark, CA 93021
Dear yr. Kueny:
(805) 529 -1149
�/, �f y
it is the purpose of this communication to identify objections to
the redevelopment plan and to the environmental impact study
developed by the City of Moorpark.
General Oblections to the Redevelopment Plan:
1. The project area is not blighted in accordance with the
conditions of the Safety Code,
Z. Many of the improvements identified could be financed by the
City directly without having to capture income provided to
other public entities from the property tax. Those
improvements include more specifically the community
facilities and infrastructure development refrenced in the
Plan.
3. Very few specifics have been set forth by the City within the
Plan. The Plan apparently has been structured in such a way
as to allow for Redevelopment Funds to be used in 'any manner
which the City chooses. The "broadbrush" approach allows for
the potential of impacts upon the School District which
cannot be anticipated.
Specific Objections to Redevelopment Plan
1. Prior to the passage of Proposition 98 in November of 1988
under the law school districts who lost income from property
taxes resulting from the creation of redevelopment agencies
were reimbursed by the State of California in order to allow
their income level to remain the same. The passage of
Proposition 98 has brought new questions to bear upon the
000427
BOARD OF EDUCATION CARLA ROBERTSON. President: PATTY WATERS, Vice President: TOM BALD%Iw, �
I F I E D
Mr. Steve Kueny

issue of reimbursement by the State. Depending upon the
legislative interpretation of Proposition 98, school
districts throughout the State of California may experience
an aggregate loss of income as a result of the creation of
new redevelopment agencies and the continued existence of
older redevelopment agencies. Recognizing that redevelopment
agencies are established for periods of time that extend as
many as forty (40) years into the future, the interpretation
of Proposition 98 as well as other statutory changes could
result in such losses of income, by reason of tax increment
financing, may have drastic effects upon the operations of
School Districts Statewide. In order to protect the Moorpark
Unified School District this issue must be addressed.
2. The very nature of redevelopment and many of the objectives
of the proposed redevelopment agency in Moorpark will have
growth inducing effects. The School District has estimated
the cost in capital outlay funds necessary to adequately
house each new student resuiting from new housing units and
commercial /industrial development. The District has
established that each new student will create a cost equaling
$8,636. (This figure does not include the cost of interim
housing, but only the cost of permanent housing.) In
addition to the capital outlay expenditures that will be
necessary for each new student, the District has estimated
that for every 30 new students a cost of 539050 for
elementary and a cost of $41,270 for high school students
will be required in order to hire new teachers, transport
students, provide textbooks and instructional supplies and
other supports necessary for the educational program. This
impact on the School District should be given careful
consideration in that this will bring about an ongoing annual
expenditure.
3. The School District has historically provided for
recreational needs of the community at its various
campuses. This has continued since the incorporation of the
City. The Casey Road site, the Chaparral Middle School site
and Flory School are all within the redevelopment area and
have provided substantial support to the community and to the
City in particular with regard to its recreational
programs. The District has experienced an increase in
demands for those facilities as the population of the City
has increased and expects that with redevelopment further
increase in demands will be experienced by the District.
This effect must be addressed so that School District-

resources are not further eroded in meeting a demand which is
a responsibility of the City.
MMENT
ENr
ON SPECIFIC PR03ECTS PROPOSED BY THE REDEVELOPMENT
1. Infrastructure
A. Improvements of this nature are indirectly growth
producing. The existing housing and facilities which
will be upgraded may contribute to impacts upon the
School District because of demands for existing housing.
2. Housing Program
A. Rehabilitation - There is an uncertainty of impact from
this program.
B. Replacement Housing - Possible increases in population
may occur with the replacement of dilapidated
structures. This, in effect, will provide more
attractive dwelling units which will be much more
Marketable.
C. Development of Low and Moderate Income /Senior Housing
This housing program will produce an increase in school
age population. Senior housing development will produce
an increase in service businesses in the area which wil: !
create a demand for new and existing housing which nay l
have an impact on the schools.
3. Community Development Programs
A land write -down program, land assembly assistance and
infrastructure assistance will contribute to an increase
in students. Such programs contribute to commercial and
industrial development which brings about a demand for
new employees who have children who impact the schools.
These programs also create jobs for construction workers
and truck drivers. This is like an industry. It is
growth enhancing, causing a need for housing and
contributing to an increase in students to the schools.

4. Community Facilities
These are city services which should be provided by the City,
not other agencies through the capturing of income from the
property tax. The provision of services such as police
protection and park and recreation facilities and services,
should be supported through the City's general fund.
The EIR is faulty in that it fails to recognize or provide proper
mitigation measures to protect the School District from the
adverse effects of the Redevelopmert project as outlined above.

Dear Mr. Hare:
In response to your correspondence of last March 5, 1993, I
would like to respond on behalf. of Ventura County Community
College District that the agreement between the MRA and the
district will alleviate the financial burden of the proposed
redevelopment project.
As you are aware, the funding support for the California
Community Colleges has been dramatically curtailed in recent
years. Additional cuts are projected for the next fiscal year.
Diverting local tax funds from the available resources to the
MRA further hinders the funding of higher educational programs
at VCCCD. Approval of the MRA agreement will permit the college
district to redirect certain funds to capital projects that must
be funded in part by the district. This will help to alleviate
the negative impact of the redeie]opmt,nt project.
Thank you for your assistance ind request for information.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE
Richard Wittenberg
As requested in your letter of March 5th, below is the language to be included in the
resolution to be adopted by the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency in accordance with
Section 3, paragraph D of our agencies' January 1993 agreement for the distribution
of tax increment funds from the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency:
The Moorpark Redevelopment Project will impose a significant financial
burden on the County of Ventura, the Ventura County Fire District, the
Ventura County Library District, and the Ventura County Flood Control
District during the life of the project. As pointed out on page 171 of the
Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR), the growth inducing nature of
the redevelopment project will result in acceleration of population and
housing growth. The draft EIR states that the degree of increase is
indeterminable at this time.
The County of Ventura, the Ventura County Fire District, the Ventura
County Library District, and the Ventura County Flood Control District
will have to provide services for this increased growth, however large.
The additional services which the County of Ventura, the Ventura
County Fire District, the Ventura County Library District, and the Ventura
County Flood Control District will have to provide are in the areas of but
not limited to: public health; indigent medical care; mental health;
protective services for abused and neglected children; welfare; criminal
justice, including courts (operation and development), District Attorney,
Public Defender, jails and other custody facilities and probation; property
assessment; recordation; maintenance and operation of flood control

channels, public libraries, and fire stations, etc. The provision of these
increased services will be a significant financial burden upon the County
of Ventura, the Ventura County Fire District, the Ventura County Library
District, and the Ventura County Flood Control District. The County, the
Fire District, the Library District, and the Flood Control District will have
to provide these services to the growth in population resulting from the
growth- inducing nature of the redevelopment plan for a period of 45
years while its revenue from the project area is frozen.
Please be aware that prior to releasing funds the County must be notified that the
settlement agreement has been filed with the court.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Mary Walsh at 654-

The following information is provided in response to your March 5, 1993
request for evidence that a financial burden /detriment will be placed on this
agency due to the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency.
The County Superintendent of Schools office is defined in the California
Constitution and Education Code as a 3-pecial district that provides direct
services to students, as well as school districts and school district staff
in Ventura County. This office is fiscally independent from the County of
Ventura. The Ventura County Superintendent and the Ventura County Board of
Education are elected bY the registers i voter- of Ventura County.
This office provides several regionalised programs, either by request of the
school districts, or as mandated by the State of California. These programs
are operated on a regional basis for efficiency, cost effectiveness, and most
importantly, quality education. These programs include the Regional
Occupation Program, court and community schools, special education, and
hearing conservation. Three of these p ograms, Regional Occupation Program,
court and community schools, and hear- 1.g ,onsirvation, are not eligible to
receive State funds for facilities

The Moorpark Redevelopment Project will cause a financial burden /detriment to
this organization. The proposed project will increase the growth rate of the
population by encouraging commercial and industrial development and causing
a demand for additional housing. In addition, the housing portion of the
development will increase the area's population by drawing families from
outside of Ventura County. These developments will increase the demand on
our facilities, data processing equipment, and services. The Moorpark area
is already the fastest g� -owing area in the county in student population. In
the last ten years the number of students has increased by over 160 %. No
other school district, regardless of , ze, is near this growth rate in either
percentage increase or actual number,
In order to accommodate anticipated growth, this agency has issued a
$5,000,000 Certificate of Participation to fund two projects. The first
project, which will be completed around September of 1993, is the acquisition
of a headquarters facility in Camarill:). Thi> relocation will centralize
this agency in the growth area of the k.ounty. The second project, which is
anticipated to be completed in Decembe! of 1994, is a complete modernization
of the Data Processing Center. Both irolect> will assist us in serving
students, school districts, and s c h ,:l per <)nnel as the population of
students and personnel continues tc i-t'eaie
The above information is a general summary of services provided and
actual /anticipated impacts from the Meurpark Redevelopment Project. If you
need more information, please call im: X305) 652 -7335 to set a meeting to
discuss these issues further.
Also, I would appreciate a copy of th<- agenda and backup documentation for
the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency i9ee:.,ng at which action will be taken on
this item. If my calendar permits. I ,11 at.tcnd the meeting.
