OLD BUSINESS
Marlborough Park Site, Tract 3096 -3
Paul Byrnes informed the commission that Property Administration
has recommended that no parking lot be placed on the site be-
cause Moorpark Road has been declared a limited access road. Any
access to or from Moorpark Road would affect the flow of traffic.
Through a consensus of opinion, this Commission decided that a
parking lot was a necessary safety factor in view of the fact
that the public would have to load and unload children on a busy
street.
The parking lot is to be defined

All members were in agreement except for Danny Rasey who perferred
telephone poles.
In lieu of telephone poles and from the money saved as a result,
Mr. Byrnes agreed to install Bike Racks. The Bike Racks will be
low - profile concrete type and be placed in such a manner as to
make them difficult to remove. They will be placed close to the
parking lot. The final details will be worked out between
Niall and Mr. Byrnes.
It was moved by Commissioner Barrera and seconded by Commissioner
Roe that the Bike racks be approved. Motion carried unanimously.
A letter from Andy Oshita, P.A.A. dated 11/14/83, was read and
addressed. The Commission agreed that:
1. Concrete tables would remain.
2. Cactus Patches will be left in tact with the exception
of those in and around trees and other small clumps.
These provide a habitat and protection for small animals.
3. Mr. Byrnes agreed to concrete poles at the enterance to
the parking lot which can be used to chain off the area
during rain.
4. No gates on the trails will be installed since it is the
opinion of this Commission that a gate will not pervent
bikers from using the trail, when they can simply go
around it and ride over the terrain, thus causing more
damage to the environment.
A name for the park was not decided on, but Vista Nature Park
and Monte Vista Park were suggested.

Maintenance of Community Center
The Commissioners looked over the Community Center and noted
several problems with the current level of maintenance:
1. Tables were left with coke and punch on them.
2. Floor in the kitchen was dirty.
3. A light panel in the kitchen was missing.
4. Floors still need stripping and mopping.
5. Walls are still dirty.
The new custodian is to work Monday, Thursday and Friday from
7:30 to 11:30 a.m. During this time he is to clean the Center
and flower bed areas.
He does no set -up for anyone. On weekends he is to start work
two hours before an event and stay two hours into it. He is to
checkout the facility on Sunday after an event and do any necessary
cleaning left from the event. His salary will be paid from deposits
withheld for this extra time.

OTHER

which can be used for a Senior Citizen's building.

p.m.
