The regualr meeting (study session) of the Recreation and Parks
Commission was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Commissioner
Rasey. Absent were Chairman Wozniak and Vice Chair Sabine.
2. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Status of Facilities Transfer:
The Moorpark Library will be shown separate from the
Community Center. We need to know how far back the library
will expand and, if they will be including a parking lot. The
Moorpark Library expansion and the Community Center expansion
will effect the use of the back side of the Community Center.
B. City Parks Plan:
The Marlborough plan was found unacceptable as sub-
mitted since the bike racks, sign, and entrance gate poles are
not shown. Drainage is not properly shown. The plans show
Eucalyptus trees which when full grown will block the panoramic
view on the northeast corner. These trees were not a part of
the original plan.

D. Discussion of Minute Format:
The commission is satisfied with the present format.
E. Discussion of Community Center Operations:
Coke machine will be removed since we are not making
the amount necessary to retain it at no cost.
Paper rack: A permit for a paper rack is required
from the County. This commission has not authorized the place-
ment of the rack. Niall has requested County to have it removed.
Reservation clerk: We must decide how much respon-
sibility this clerk should have and how much the commission
wishes to input. Major problems should be brought before the
commission. If the rules are followed we should only have to
review the calendar and regular users.
3. COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Park Cost Analysis:
Commissioner Barrera presented a worksheet which we can
use to determine what our costs will be. We should be able
to use something like this to determine a tax base.
There being no further business at this time, 9:15 p.m., the
meeting was adjourned to Saturday January 21, at 9:00 a.m. for
a tour of the parks land.
PARKS TOUR
Saturday January 21, 1984
Buttercreek: This park runs along the river bed and can
be made accessible from Buttercreek homes. Boething Tree Farm
has planted shrubs along the side facing the homes which is
presently maintained by the homeowners. The park is fenced
off at the entrance by wrought iron fencing.
Heather glen: The site has been cleared of Boething's
trees and is ready for landscaping. Plans have been submitted
to the commission.
Griffin Park: This park has a major drainage problem.
The pipe presently draining into it from the homes across the
street is plugged with debris. The property owned by Phil
Vein or Caltrans, drains into the far end of the park and onto
the parkland. A high power pole is located at the end and may
possibly be undermined causing a major power shortage to some
areas.
Campus Park: The -restroom locks have been removed and the
lights have been broken. The gate has been pulled off on the
Los Angeles Avenue side.
Coastline Park: This is a hilly undeveloped park located
along the riverbed in Campus Park. According to Andy Oshita
of Ventura County Parks Department, Union Oil has given permission
for the park to be extended onto their drill site as long as
no permanent structures are placed there.
Peach Hill: This park is on flat land adjoining the
school site, and calls for soccer fields and lights.
The park tour ended and the meeting adjourned at 2:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
