A Special Joint Meeting of the City Council and the Parks and

4. ACTION /DISCUSSION:
A. Discussion of the 1994/95 Goals and Objectives and Draft
Budget for the Community Services Department.
Commissioner Stratton noted that the Commission would
benefit from feedback as to why certain items they have
recommended for the budget in the past have been deleted.
She said it would help the Commission make better
decisions if they knew the guidelines that- the City
Council uses in making the deletions.
Minutes of the Joint Meeting
of the City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission
Moorpark, California Page 2 June 13, 1994
In response to Commissioner Stratton, Mayor Lawrason
indicated that final budget decisions are based on the
total picture of budget demands and that the reasoning
may not always be obvious to those less involved in the
budget process.
Mr. Kueny said that City staff will communicate more
effectively with the Commission regarding items that are
deleted from the budget.
Chairman Hall stated that during budget time he thinks
the Commission should make the Council aware of needs in
the community so they can be considered.
Commissioner Ulis -Judd asked about the status of erecting
a wall where the street ends at Griffin Park. She
asked if the City is going to put in a wall there so it
can made into parking or to extend the use of the park.
In response to Commissioner Ulis -Judd, Mr. Kueny said
that the most recent discussion was to take the property
that is contiguous to the park portion of that abandoned
street with a concern for the potential for cars going
off the ramp and being sure there was a fence at the
bottom to prevent them from entering the park area. Mr.
Kueny continued by saying it is still incumbent on the
Commission to study the vacation of College View Drive
and to make recommendations on what should be done with
that.
Commissioner Ulis -Judd commented that Griffin Park is one
of the worst parks to accommodate parking of users.
Mr. Kueny said the City Council will consider a
resolution on Wednesday evening to prohibit parking along
Campus Park Drive on the north end of the park and
require residents to park in there. He said the
Commission needs to review this and develop a plan and
retain money in that zone for improvements. Mr. Kueny
said the City Engineer can visit one of the Parks and
Recreation Commission meetings to discuss the issue with
the Commissioners.
Mr. Kueny continued by stating that many of the zones in
the City have received the maximum amount of funding that
will come from the development community. He noted that
the Commission could request from the City Council a
portion of the $119,000 at Arroyo Vista Community Park to
Minutes of the Joint Meeting
of the City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission
Moorpark, California Page 3 June 13, 1994
be used for the Country Trail Park.
Mr. Kueny said that this meeting is the opportunity for
the Parks and Recreation Commission to explain to the
City Councilmembers why they have placed rollerhockey as
one of their highest priorities in the budget.
Christine Adams explained that the President of the Tri-
Valley Hockey League has told her that ten to fifteen
percent of his 400 participants are from the Moorpark
area. These participants are travelling from Moorpark to
Agoura to play rollerhockey because no facilities exist
in Moorpark. She said the Commission believes that
information helps justify the need within the City.
Commissioner Stratton noted that rollerhockey is a good
revenue source for the City and she wants children in
Moorpark to be able to play the sport when they desire to
do so. She said the effort to build a state of the art
facility would need to be cooperative with another group
for financing.
Chairman Hall provided a description of the proposed
rollerhockey court. He said he believes it is a
consensus of the Parks and Recreation Commission that
there is a need and desire in the community for the
construction of a court.
Commissioner Butler joined the meeting. The time was
7:30 p.m.
Councilmember Montgomery said funding for lighting should
be deferred because of the extreme expense of that as a
budget item. He said the needs of the children using the
rollerhockey court should be met first, then later
consider the adult needs and expense of using it at
night.
Mr. Kueny clarified that after the City recoups its
direct cost from the use of the rollerhockey court, the
revenues would be put back into that zone's fund balance.
Other budget needs that were discussed were two more ball
fields, a permanent concession stand and more tennis
courts, a pavilion to provide shade at the Arroyo Vista
Community Park, and a cultural bowl perhaps in the
downtown park. The Commission members present agreed
Minutes of the Joint Meeting
of the City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission
Moorpark, California Page 4 June 13, 1994
that the roller hockey court is needed more than
additional tennis courts.
Councilmember Montgomery said he wants to see more
definitive information regarding the cost, construction
and scheduled use of the proposed roller hockey court.
Regarding the specific Goals and Objectives for the
Community Services Department, Commissioner Ulis -Judd
said that Adopt -A -Park needs to be elevated in priority
from one star ( *) to two stars ( * *). She continued by
explaining the approach is to have foundations or donors
help fund items that are needed in the parks and
facilities.
Minutes of the Joint Meeting
of the City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission
Moorpark, California Page 5 June 13, 1994
B. Discussion of the Roles, Duties and Responsibilities of
the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Mayor Lawrason asked for comments regarding this item.
Commissioner Hall provided the City Councilmembers with
a copy of a document entitled "Purpose of the Advisory
Commission" which he had received from a seminar.
Mayor Lawrason indicated that he will review it as it
appears to have merit.
C. Consider Sponsor /Donation Board for Arroyo Vista
Recreation Center.
Commissioner Hall introduced the idea that the Commission
would like to see some kind of a donor board for names of
those who donate to the facilities at the parks.
Councilmember Perez suggested that a donor board could be
placed at each facility as a way of recognizing those who
have contributed to that specific one.
Mr. Kueny said the Commission should develop some
criteria and to explore what the City of Simi Valley did
with regard to this subject.
In response to Commissioner Ulis -Judd, Mr. Kueny
explained that the recreation Fund is being eliminated in
the FY 1994/95 budget and is going to the General Fund.
He said staff time is being accounted for by project,
special events, etc., so it will be more easily tracked.
Mr. Kueny added that recommendations for revenue
producing programs can be made to the City Council by the
Parks and Recreation Commission.

Memorandum ITEM —
Parks & Recreation Commission
From: Chris Adams, Director of Community Services
Prepared by: Dale Sumersille, Recreation Supervisor
Date: August 15, 1994
Re: Consider Program Proposal - "Moorpark Music Festival"
Staff is proposing a new Teen activity to be done in conjunction with Rancho Simi
Recreation & Park District and the Moorpark College Grooven Club. The name of the
event has been called "Moorpark Music Festival".
The main purpose(s) of the event are:
1) to conduct an event for teens that is planned and promoted by teens for
the purpose of increasing their awareness of local businesses, agencies
and activities that serve this age group.
2) to provide a teen network and resources that serve this age group
3) to provide and promote Moorpark teens with positive leisure choices
4) to kick off "red ribbon week festivities"
The Music Festival will feature live bands, live demonstrations, a job fair, exhibit
booths, food and game booths and a raffle. Local organizations that provide resources
and services to the teen population will be invited to join the festival, by having a
booth at the event.
The proposed date is Saturday, October 15th, from 10:00 am to 5:00 PM at AVRC. The
intent is to have one main stage and a smaller stage alternating demonstrations and
entertainment - with the booths in the middle, and a lawn area in front of each stage
area as seating.
The Moorpark College Grooven Club (Peace Productions) is committed in getting the
bands (all will perform for free) and assist in the advertising and production of the
event. Staff from Rancho Simi Recreation & Park District and Moorpark staff (Dale
Sumersille) would work on the other logistics (vendors, schedule of the day, school
contacts etc.) of the event.
Moorpark and Rancho Simi staff have proposed to the group that the event should be
scheduled in the fall, in October - this way:
1. clubs and groups from the high and middle school involved
2. advertise the event through the schools, local churches, youth clubs and
homeowners associations.
3. be a part of "red ribbon" festivities in October
The following costs have been identified at this time in addition to staff time &
postage:
1) additional stage set up - approximately $600
2) refreshments for entertainers 300
Staff recommendation: Receive and file the report

On June 15, 1994, staff took the recommendations from the Parks
and Recreation Commission to the City Council for adoption of a
name for the downtown park site.
Staff prepared a report for the City Council identifying Riley
Spencer Jr. Park and Poindexter Park as the two alternative names
proposed by the Commission.
After much discussion, the City Council put forth several other
suggestions such as Memorial Park and Milagro Park. The City
Council has requested that the Commission hear from the residents
of the downtown area and select another name to propose based on
this public testimony.
Staff has sent out a notice to all residents living in the north
west section of the City, specifically those homes north of High
Street along Charles Avenue, those homes south of High Street,
between Spring and Moorpark Avenue and north of Los Angeles
Avenue, those homes immediately adjacent to Chapparal Middle
School, and the homes to the west of Gisler Field. The notice
invites interested persons to come and provide input to the
Commission at tonight's meeting.

SUBJECT: Consider Removal of Soccer_ Goals_ at Campus Canvon `
BACKGROUND
In recent months, residents who live to the north of Campus
Canyon Park have lodged many complaints regarding soccer
players disrupting their neighborhood by climbing over
private walls to retrieve soccer balls.
Staff has tried to work with the homeowners of the area and
the soccer organizations, but the problems continue to
persist. The Sheriff's Department has also been involved,
and has tried to work with both parties to resolve this
situation.
It should be noted that the disturbance has not always been
caused by an organized soccer program, and in many cases, are
informal games by other city residents.
With the installation of five soccer fields at Arroyo Vista
Community Park, staff does not see a need to keep the
permanent soccer goals at Campus Canyon Park. Organized and
informal teams and groups could still hold practices or
unofficial games without the soccer goals. Staff feels that
the removal of the goals at this time would relieve the
current situation with the adjacent homeowners.
Staff is also considering planting a row of dense trees at
the north end of the soccer field. Once the trees are
established and provide a suitable screen to the homes, staff
may consider replacing the goals.
Staff is requesting that the Commission review this issue and
^v �
provide some advice on the matter. 4

L�
The City Council, as part of the 1994 -95 Park Improvement
budget, appropriated $18,000 to replace the preschool (tiny
tot) play equipment at Peach Hill Park.
This equipment has been of concern to the Parks and
Recreation Commission for some time. The current design
includes transfer platforms which are difficult to maneuver
by children under the age of 5. Rather than attempt a
retrofit of the equipment, which might alter the original
design and compromising the integrity of the structure, staff
has recommended that the entire tiny tot equipment be removed
and replaced with a structure that is especially designed for
preschool aged children.
GameTime Recreation Equipment manufacturers, who have
installed play equipment for other city parks in Moorpark,
have prepared a design for a play structure which will
complement the larger, existing structure in color and shape,
yet will be age specific for under 5 years of age.
An aerial view of the play equipment is attached, and a
catalogue with photographs of the components will be
available at the meeting.
The proposed design, with ADA approved Fibar surfacing for a
portion of the play area, will be within the budgeted amount.
Review proposed design and recommend that staff move forward
with informal bid process.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Services bP
DATE: August 15, 1994 �n
SUBJECT: Consider Desian for PlayEQuioment at Arroyo Vista
Community Park,
••sj�
The City Council, as part of the 1994 -95 Park Improvement
budget, appropriated $40,000 to install play equipment at
Arroyo Vista Community Park.
This amount may not be sufficient to build a play structure
to meet the high demand that a park of this size may have.
Staff is recommending that the funds be used to install a
first phase of the play equipment, but design the area so
that in future years the equipment can be expanded.
GameTime Recreation Equipment manufacturers, who have
installed play equipment for other city parks in Moorpark,
have prepared a design for this first phase play structure
which will meet all accessibility standards, and draw on the
design and look of the Recreation Center architecture. Staff
has asked that GameTime provide designs and colors for the
Commission to consider that would address this criteria set
by staff.
An aerial view of the play equipment is attached, and a
catalogue with photographs of the components will be
available at the meeting.
The proposed design, with ADA approved Fibar surfacing for a
portion of the play area, will be within the budgeted amount.
