(Vice - President of the Moorpark Youth Activities Committee) addressed the Commission regarding her concerns of the last teen dance. Some of the problems encountered were: 1. Lack of chaperones. This is a continuous problem they are experiencing. She requested more involvement from the Parks and Recreation Commission. Requested at least one Commissioner as a chaperone at each dance. 2. Requiring I.D.'s at the door creates a problem because most students this time of year no longer have their I.D.'s -- they have lost or misplaced them. 3. Would recommend changing the rules to reflect entrance to the dance by age rather than by the grade the student is currently in. This alleviates the problem of having an older student in a lower grade level than normal. 4. A dress code should be established.
