COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC Mrs. Lorene Gartner, 148 Moorpark Avenue, Moorpark - President of the local seniors group, spoke to the commission regarding a room for the Senior Citizens. According to Mrs. Gartner, the senior citizens were under the impression when the Community Center was built that a room was being set aside for the seniors. Now than an addition is being planned, the seniors would like to have all or part of that addition for their meetings, meals, crafts etc. Mrs. Geraldine Bailey, 132 Moorpark Avenue, Moorpark, - senior, also spoke for the room for the senior citizens. They are presently using Mahan Hall for their meetings, but it is not a permanent site, they can not have social functions, and it is not a meal site. -1- Vice -Chair Sabine, area rep to senior nutrition, stated that The Community Center kitchen was designed so as to be used for a meal site, but it must be available all the time for the County to allow a meal site. At this time, 7:40 p.m. commissioner Rasey left the bench and returned at 7:50. 6. PRESENTATIONS 6.A. Library Expansion Maps - Dennis Delzeit, the City Engineer presented this item, it has been suggested to the Council by Director of Community Development, Niall Fritz, that Moorpark Avenue be improved by the County. Adjacent street improvements are usually completed with a development, but the County has not proposed this. Leaving Moorpark Avenue as is, is incon- sistent with the General Plan. County and City are exempt from requiring conditions from one another, but should be consistent with the general plan. At this time, Mr. Delzeit introduced Mr. John Knipe, the assistant City Engineer. 6B. PC -4 Park Information This item is moved to later in the meeting as item 9C. 7.

Progress report on Community Center - The City Manager, Marshall Julian reported on the progress of this matter. 1. Scheduling - Commissioner Rasey who has been doing the scheduling is winding down, the forms are being revised so that clerical persons can handle it. The Major decisions will still be made by the Commission such as fee waiving etc. 2. Expansion - We have not had architects in yet, have had a contractor in to talk about the wall. There has to be a sketch to pull a permit to build. 3. Rekeying - The rekeying was started today, it should be finished by the end of the week. Commissioner Baldwin asked how a senior's room would fit into the plans for expansion. Marshall Julian stated that it is not in the plans because the expansion is only to replace the area that was taken. Commissioner Sabine stated that the Seniors were offered the use of the Center monthly or weekly, and they didn't want it. Commissioner Baldwin asked about using off -duty sheriffs deputies as guards for the uses that need more authority. Marshall Julian will check it out and report back. -3- 9B. Language Proposal for Park Maintenance - this item is re a ballot measure to provide park maintenance and landscape maintenance for streets throughout the City. It would generate approximately 50 to 60 thousand per year. Commissioner Sabine asked if the advisory measure passed, would it still be up to the Council whether to have it or not? Marshall Julian stated that it would. It becomes a budget matter once it is approved by a Council vote, it does not come up each year. The save 13 proposition would kill this matter, it would take 66 2/3 of voters to pass. 9C. PC -3 Park Information - continued from item 6B. - Commissioner Sabine stated that the Commission needs to recommend to staff to handle the matter and report back to the Commission. 9D. Pacifica - Peach Hill Park - This was an information item, the Commission will wait for Niall Fritz, Director of Community Development, to bring the final "approved" papers in August. Commissioner Baldwin stated that he did not want to give Pacifica a minor modification and possibly not have the park developed for years. Bernardo Perez, resident of the Peach Hill area was present to speak on this issue. Planning Commissioner, Jim Hartley asked the Commission at this time to waive the fees for the United Blood drive on August 2. It was moved by Commissioner Roe, seconded by Commissioner Sabine and unanimously agreed to waive the fees for the United Blood drive for August 2, and any subsequent uses. 10. COMMISSION COMMENTS 10A. Commissioner Baldwin - stated that he felt it was time to send the Commission by -laws to the Council for approval or disapproval. Marshall stated that they have to be revised first as they are contrary to the Resolution adopting the Commission. 10B. Commissioner Baldwin - stated that in Griffin Park, the sprinkler in the North West corner is broken and the grass is drying. Some one cut the grass and left the clippings on top. At Campus Park, a weed eater was used to cut the grass around the sprinklers, a weed killer would be better. 10C. Items for the 7/17 agenda - Rotary, Parks Master Plan, County Specs (Parks) . 11.
