BUSINESS ITEMS 7A. Jazzercise use review - Cheryl Goergen, 4320 N. Clavele, Moorpark, spoke as the Jazzercise representative. It had been pointed out to Ms. Goergen in the letter received from staff that some of the problems with her use were the cars parking on either side of the drive, the babysitting function and the storage of the stage. -2- Ms. Goergen pointed out that the stage is a temporary one until the City builds the stage in the Multi - purpose room, and it was stored in the storage room before the Custodian needed the room for storage. The storage room was also used as a babysitting room, which is why the children are now out in the foyer or kitchen. The curb was supposed to be painted red after the last use review to let people know that if they insist on parking there they can be ticketed. Chairman Rasey agreed with Ms. Goergen and stated that back in September was when the curb was to be painted and he would like to know when the City is going to get around to painting it. Staff is to notify the Commission when the curb painting will take place. Ms. Goergen, along with her use review would like to have a poster hung in the display case in front of the Community Center.
