B. Park Status Report Staff Recommendation: Receive
and File the Report.
Commissioner Thompson questioned the status of the
Downtown Park after being presented to Council.
Director Adams stated that Council slightly changed
the plans, wanting to replace the amphitheater with
a picnic shelter having a lattice type roof with
turf or grass. On the north east area, Councilman
Wozniak, recommended a Veteran Memorial area. This
will not replace existing Memorial on the corner of
Los Angeles Avenue and Moorpark Avenue. The
existing Memorial has become too small for programs
and events. Council suggested to incorporate the
Heritage and Memorial theme at the Downtown Park.
Chair Hall stated that an agenda item for the month
of December should have been the report of what
City Council's recommendation changes were for the
Downtown Park. He would like staff to come up with
some method to inform Commission of any changes to
the Commission's recommendations prior to two days
before Council meeting. Chair Hall expressed
concern over the new structure pertaining to the
maintenance of the grass or turf under new design.
It will be difficult and costly.
Director Adams said that the Architect will have to
consider the problem of maintaining a grassy area
when designing the structure.
MOTION: Commissioner Butler moved to receive and file the
report. Commissioner Stratton seconded. The
motion was carried 5 -0.
C. Report on Park Tour of October 9 1994 Staff
Recommendation: Receive and File the Report.
Commissioner Thompson would like discussion
regarding this report so the public can be brought
up to date as to what the status is of their parks.
Also noted was that the report states that there
were no children playing at the Mountain Meadows
Park when in fact there were two.
Commissioner Thompson also requested that a picnic
table and trash can be placed on top the hill at
Monte Vista Park.
Minutes of the Parks and
Recreation Commission
Page Three
December 5, 1994
Chair Hall and Director Adams informed Commission
that there is already a table and trash can in that
particular area.
Director Adams informed Commission that recent
complaints had come up regarding Monte Vista Park
and bike riders not staying on the bike paths,
causing extreme wear and tear to the grass areas.
Staff is now taking measures to prevent any further
problems with bike riders.
MOTION: Commissioner Stratton moved to receive and file the
report. Commissioner Butler seconded. The motion
was carried 5 -0.
8. DISCUSSION /ACTION ITEMS:
A. Consider Special Event Report: Holiday Craft Fair,
Staff Recommendation: Receive and File the Report.
Director Adams stated that the event was an overall
success. This was the third Craft Fair, and each
one has been more successful. The only complaint
was from vendors located in the kitchen area, who
felt they could have done better business if
located in an outer area. After discussion,
Commission and Staff felt that in the future it
would be more practical to place the food vendors
in the kitchen area.
Commission offered a few suggestions for future
Fair events.
* An art show being added.
* To play holiday music during the fair.
* Additional food vendors.
* Offering a hayride around park area, or even
offering a hayride /caroling through Moorpark
neighborhoods.
Director Adams and Commission stated that Shelly
Shellabarger, Recreation Supervisor, was to be
commended on the organization, the overall success
and her hard work.
MOTION: Commissioner Thompson moved to receive and file
report. Commissioner Stratton seconded. The motion
was carried 5 -0.

B. Consider Special Event Report: Tree Liahtina
Ceremony. Staff Recommendation: Receive and File
the Report.
Director Adams stated that this event went very
well. The only problem that was encountered was
that by 6:30 there was standing room only. Event
went slightly over budget, but it was worth it.
Both the people who attended were able to enjoy the
ceremony, and residents at home, since event was
televised. It also was shown again on Saturday and
will be shown again this Friday due to requests for
a replay.
Commission and Director Adams discussed some
alternatives to the crowd problem:
* Move this event to a Saturday or Sunday and
perhaps with two showings.
* Allowing two tickets per child for parents
only, and relatives and friends could watch
the show at a dress rehearsal or film.
* Moving to a bigger site such as Moorpark High
School or even outside and having portable
cameras for televising.
Director Adams said suggestions will be considered
for next year. Again Director Adams and Commission
thanked Ms. Shellabarger for all the hard work and
commended her on how well organized this event was.
MOTION: Commissioner Thompson moved to receive and file the
report. Commissioner Butler seconded. The motion
was carried 5 -0.
C. Consider Special Event Report: Breakfast with
Santa. Staff Recommendation: Receive and File
the Report.
Director Adams stated what a huge success the
breakfast was. There were two Beatings. Even with
the large turnout, thanks to Ms. Shellabarger and
all the volunteers, everything went extremely
smooth.
Minutes of the Parks and
Recreation Commission
Page Five
December 5, 1994
Commission agreed and also thanked Ms. Shellabarger
for doing such a great job on all of the holiday
functions.
MOTION: Commissioner Ulis -Judd moved to receive and file
the report. Commissioner Thompson seconded. The
motion was carried 5 -0.
9. ANNOUNCEMENTS / FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS:
Commissioner Butler would like an update on the
bids received for the Downtown Park Site.
Director Adams informed Commission that Council had
discussed "Adopt A Park" and Staff would h -ave a
"Gifts Catalogue" for review in January.
Commissioner Thompson would like to discuss easier
access into Arroyo Vista Park for the Soccer
players. Perhaps involve Moorpark High School
regarding this issue.
Commissioner Thompson would like status on Campus
Canyon play equipment.
Director Adams said that a Mid Year Budget Review
regarding this item could be discussed in January.
Commissioner Ulis -Judd suggested the planning of a
trip for the children to the Civic Art Center for a
tour and perhaps to meet and speak with
professional dancers and actors.
Since this was the last official meeting of this
Commission, each member thanked the residents of
Moorpark and Staff. Chair Hall handed out plaques
to each Commissioner from him personally.
10. ADJOURNMENT:
Commissioner Stratton moved to adjourn the meeting.
Commissioner Thompson seconded. The motion was
carried 5 -0.

AGENDA REPORT

FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Servic0,
DATE: February 6, 1995
SUBJECT: Update on Country Trail Park Development.
At the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting of November 7,
1994, the Commission requested that staff provide an update
on the development of Country Trail Park, which is located on
Mountain Trail and Countrywood next to Arroyo West School.
This park is being built by California Community Builders,
(CCB) , the construction arm of R.B.D. Moorpark Investors,
formerly Urban West Communities.
To date, all improvement and grading plans have been reviewed
and approved by the City. CCB has all of their improvement

be announced to the Commission as soon as a date is set.
CCB anticipates that park improvement construction should
take between three and four months.

CITY OF MOORPARK
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Services
DATE: January 3, 1994
SUBJECT: Consider Gifts Catalogue Program and Format
A gifts catalogue is a listing of needs from which a
prospective donor may select. It is a fund raising
adaptation of the retail sales catalogue concept. Catalogues
can suggest a variety of options - in addition to cash
donations, equipment, skills or services may be sought.
The City Council has asked that the Parks and Recreation
Commission review this program in concept and to provide
input and recommendations for the City Council to review.
This report is intended to provide the Parks and Recreation
Commission with the purpose of the Gifts Catalogue, an
outline for development of the catalogue, and a proposed
listing of items, and services to be listed in the catalogue.
Purposes of the Gifts Catalogue
1. To Increase Public Involvement - It is a tool for
increasing public awareness and support. A greater
sense of involvement with the Community Services
Department will hopefully result in higher participation
and interest.
2. Provide a Service to Potential Donors - A gifts
catalogue provides people the opportunity to fulfill
their basic motivation to do good. Catalogues allow
donors to know where their gift is going and to select a
gift which they can identify.
3. Increase Awareness of Community Service Department's
Needs Among Prospective Donors - A catalogue links an
agency and its potential donors. It stimulates
donations by increasing awareness of the department.
Donors must be convinced of the department's successes
and the level of community satisfaction must be
mentioned and reinforced. Gifts catalogue also provide
the community with information about the short and long
term goals of the department. Even though a specific
gift, such as the construction of a park, may not be
donated, the fact that it is listed in the gifts
catalogue reinforces the Department's commitment to
provide a facility that the community wants.
4. Offers Tanaible Gifts to Potential Donors - A strong
selling point for a contribution to parks and recreation
programs is that nearly all of the offerings in the
gifts catalogue are tangible. Staff must emphasize the
fact that evidence of a gift is visible not just at the
time it is given, but also in the future. "The gift
that keeps giving."
Gifts Catalogue Development Steps
1. Develop a List of Department Needs - List should be
extensive. The idea is to provide a full range of gifts
from which to choose. The catalogue should attract
differing size contributions. Hopefully, the person who
can only make a small donation today may be able to
donate more in the future.
2. Design and Production - The gifts catalogue must be
attractive and professionally done. A well - designed
catalogue represents quality and promotes a good
department image. Adequate staff time must also be
invested in both the preparation and management to
ensure and seek donations. Prices should not be listed
in the catalogue, but on an insert sheet that can be
updated as needed.
3. Promotion - A promotion strategy should be developed
even before the catalogue has reached the design stage.
The promotion strategy involves plans for distribution,
publicity before and after the catalogue is distributed,
recognition of donations and follow -up solicitation.
Crucial to the success of the gifts catalogue is its
acceptance immediately after distribution. The timing
of the gifts catalogue release is especially important.
The holiday giving season has proven to be very
successful in other communities.
4. Distribution - The distribution strategy should ensure
delivery of the catalogue to a pre- selected target
audience, which should be identified by staff and the
Parks and Recreation Commission. Since a mass mailing
is not financially feasible, we could utilize displays
in libraries, schools, banks, and other retail
establishments. After the initial distribution, staff
will look for every opportunity to personally put the
catalogue in the hands of prospective donors. A number
of different cover letters should be developed for
various target audiences. It is recommended that the
staff member most likely to receive and respond to these
inquiries is the Director of Community Services.
5. Recognition - Indicate what recognition is attached to
gifts of various values. Recognize every bit of
generosity, large or small. Recognition can spur others
to contribute or lead to future donations from the same
source. The scope of the recognition program should fit
the size and type of gift, and the spectrum could
include signed certificates presented at City Council
meetings, engraved donor plaques affixed to capital
projects, names of donors listed in subsequent gifts
catalogue, or whatever fits the desire of the community.
Every gift of $20.00 or more could be acknowledged with
a certificate of thanks and a coffee mug decorated with
the catalogue's logo /picture. The mug would be utilized
daily and is a visible reminder of the donation.
6. Evaluation and Revision - The gifts catalogue should be
viewed as an ongoing program - not a one -shot effort.
One city's efforts took three years to receive a
donation. The bottom line is measuring the overall
effectiveness of the gifts catalogue is not revenue nor
the total amount of resources raised. Generally, if the
expenses incurred in Moorpark's catalogue program raise
from 10 - 20o of the actual contributions, then those
expenses would be considered to be at an acceptable
level. If expenses go much higher than 200, staff
should look for ways to increase efficiency.
Decisions to be made at this time
1. Who is the target audience and how do we reach them?
2. What gift items will be included. A draft list is
attached for the Commission's review.
3. What will be the theme of the catalogue? Design format?
4. Is there a large enough segment within the community who
have money to donate and would be willing to support a
gift catalogue?
5.- Is the City or another organization able to appropriate
money to a program that may not show any rewards for
maybe three years?
6. Is the City willing and able to appropriate enough money
to produce a quality catalogue - estimating printing,
artwork, design, layout, etc., to be between $2,000 -
$4,000? There should also be funds set aside for
promotion and recognition.
7. Who will be in charge of this endeavor? There will be a
lot of staff time involved on a year round basis to do
an adequate job of promoting the catalogue - is this
something that we can devote enough time to?
It may be appropriate for the Commission to appoint an ad -hoc
committee to address some of these issues and provide some
recommendations to the Commission to consider prior to
forwarding a final recommendation to the City Council. �'v
RECOIrIIEUMATION
� v
Appoint an ad -hoc committee to consider issues related to the
development and implementation of a City Gifts Catalogue.

Comments:
This event was well planned and ran smoothly. The chaperone was knowledgeable in float
construction and had also attended previous events. There was some doubt, in the beginning, if
we would be able to sell enough tickets to pay for the trip. This caused some problems with the
ticket supplier when payments were not met on time. Now we have established that this is a
workable excursion. The volume of calls for tickets after we sold out is evidence that a great
number of area residents want to participate in this trip. All other area organizations also
sold out.
Suggestions for Future Events:
This format worked well. All participants were pleased. Consider ordering 100 tickets next
year and sending two busses. Consider offering discount tickets to city staff (several staff
members attended this trip).

Consider Special Event Report: Pepsi Hot Shot
Contest.
The purpose of this evaluation is to offer recommendations and
suggestions on the joint program "Pepsi Hotshot Contest" sponsored
by the City of Moorpark and the Moorpark Basketball Association.
Event Description:
Location: Arroyo Vista Gymnasium
Date: Saturday, December 10, 1994
Time: 9:00 am
Actual Day Schedule:
8:15 - 9:00 am Set up
9:00 - 9:10 am Practice shooting
9:10 am Begin first age group contest
12:45 pm Clean -up
There were a total of 51 participants (ages 8 - 16 years) and
approximately 235 spectators during the contest.
The volunteers from MBA arrived at 8:15 am to assist with the set-
up of the contest. Participants started to arrived by 8:50 am to
register and to practice shooting from the various locations on
the court.
The participants were then called to the floor, and instructions
were given on how the contest is run (including the rules) and
ended with a live demonstration. The first age group was then
divided into two groups - and the contest began.
General Comments:
Publicity was sent out via news releases, Videomax, flyers at the
middle schools, daily announcements at all middle and high
schools, flyers at Arroyo Vista and the Boys and Girls Clubs,
flyers & announcements at all MBA practices and coaches meetings.
The contest also had great press coverage the day of the event
from L.A. Times and the Daily News. Winners from various age
groups were interviewed and photographed.
The contest ran smoothly, and the participants had a great time as
did the spectators. It was great to see alot of support from
family and friends in the stands. The MBA volunteers were very
thorough in their assignments, and did a great job!
Six of those youth who went on to the L.A. area regional finals,
placed in the top 6 in their age categories.
Recommendations:
1) To have MBA co- sponsor this event again next year. The
volunteers were great to work with, as well as assisting in
getting the word out about the contest, which will get bigger each
year guaranteed.
2) Go out to both middle schools during lunch time as a way of
advertising not only the Pepsi Hotshot contest, but also other
teen programs.
3) Work on getting more girls participating. There was a very
low turnout of girls this year.
4) Have an orientation meeting for volunteers again prior to the
contest. This assisted with the volunteers on how the actual days
event would run. It would also be helpful to have the volunteers
meet first thing in the morning - the day of the event to review
things, (this was planned) but this was not possible due to their
schedules.
5) Have an additional staff person present to assist with set-
up, registrations and speaking with parents on the contest.

General comments:
Publicity was sent out via news releases, Videomax, flyers at the
middle schools, announcements at all middle and high schools,
flyers at Arroyo Vista Recreation Center, City Hall and the Boys
and Girls Club, flyers mailed out to those who were at the June
3rd dance, and who registered for teen programs this last year.
The three marquees in the City also had the dance information on
them which was most effective.
The day before the dance, the owner from the Moorpark Shell
Station donated 12 cases of Pepsi cola for the event. This was
used as door prizes and sold at the dance for a minimal 25 cents a
can. It was felt that if the Pepsi was out for free that some
would take advantage of this generous donation. Monies from the
sale of the soda went to offset the cost of the DJ. MYAC also
received 4 gift certificates for $25 each from the Oaks Mall for
the door prizes.
The dance went extremely well. All of the teens got along great.
There were a few older teens who attended, and got the other teens
not dancing, dancing. The teens behaved themselves very well.
Most teens preferred the Old School type of music, although the DJ
did play a little bit of the alternative music as well.. Teens
were able to make special dedications and requests throughout the
night.
The chaperones /volunteers and staff were located at various
entryways in order to prevent anyone coming in from open doors
from friends, as well as one to two being at the front door and
out in front of the center.
There. was a small incident after the dance, where everyone had
been dismissed and outside for 5 to 7 minutes. A visiting teen
was hit by a local teen. The incident happened quickly and other
teens (older) assisted in breaking up any further quarrels. The
visiting teen received an ice pack immediately, an incident report
was written up, and was followed up by staff.
The local teens involved in the incident have been told that they
are not welcome at any future dances.
Recommendations:
1) Continue to use past rosters to mail out flyers to local teens
2) Utilize the marquees again, as they proved to be very effective
3) Offer the dance for the same ages - those in grades 6+ and do
not place a limit on the teens.
4) Staff would like to do some joint dances with Project Pride.
5) Have additional volunteers /staff manned outside in the parking
lot and in front of the Community Center, to ward off any
possible situations.
6) Staff has contacted the Sheriff's Dept. to patrol during the
next dance, and will be present in the parking lot after the
dance.

CITY OF MOORPARK
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission \
FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Services
DATE: February 6, 1995
SUBJECT: Consider Commission Attendance at California
Pacific Southwest Recreation and Park Conference.
The annual California Pacific Southwest Recreation and Park
Conference will be held this year Thursday, March 2, 1995,
through Sunday, March 5, 1995, in San Jose, California.
Attached is the Conference Program, which outlines the
various educational sessions available at the Conference.
There is a budget for conference expenses in the FY 94/95
budget of $1,600. In the past, two commissioners have
attended, along with City staff.
As there are new members on the Commission, the Commission
may want to consider sending more than two members to the
conference, if the Commission members would each be willing
to cover some miscellaneous costs themselves. This has been
an option in past years.
To assist the Commission in this matter, staff has outlined
some cost savings measures as alternatives, should all five
commissioners want to attend the conference.
Airfare rates can be as low as $75.00 per person if
Commissioners can arrange the Southwest "Friends Fly Free"
discounts. Another option would be to go as a group and take
the City pool car, which would only be the cost of gas. In
other words, if three of four commissioners chose to drive up
on Thursday during the day, the cost would be approximately
$50.00 for gas, as opposed to $375 for all five to fly.
Additionally, those who chose to fly, may need to cover some
or all of their airfare costs to enable all Commission
members to attend.
If commissioners room together, as opposed to individual
rooms, the cost per person for lodging is cut in half. There
is an option for the three male commissioners to room
together in an executive suite at $105.00 per night. Using
some of these cost saving alternatives, the cost for rooms
could be approximately $820.00 for five commissioners, as
opposed to the projected $1,600.00.
The City provides a per diem daily allowance of $34.00 per
day for meals. The above cost is based on three days of
meals. The Commission may want to consider covering their
own meal costs in order to accommodate other commissioners
attendance at the Conference.
Using the above measures, the costs could be reflected this
way:
Registrations (5) @ $145 $725
Hotel (5) $820
Travel (3) in vehicle $ 50
(2) by air $150
TOTAL $1745.00
The Commission may want to discuss ways of saving an
additional $150 - $200 to keep the total cost under the
budget amount, and allowing all Commissioners to attend and
receive valuable information about parks and recreation
services.
RECOMMENDATION
Select Commissioners to attend the annual conference in San
Jose, March 2 - 5, 1995.

BILL MICHAELIS, PH.D
Reclaiming the Sacred: Potholes, Paradigms
& Possibilities Along the Playful Path
Twenty years after Gray and Greben told us
about the challenge of change ... and despite
many innovative responses from our profes-
sion, we are still in the midst of a whirlwind of
idly shifting sands ... the time crunch, the
values crisis, economic rightsizing ... and so
many other trends that demand that we pay attention to who we
are, how we nurture ourselves and how we provide service. Let's
celebrate our accomplishments, trumpet our benefits and unite in
an ongoing commitment to fun, wellness, change and growth in
our personal and professional lives.
Bill is a professor of Recreation and Leisure Studies at Sari
Francisco State University and Director of Children Together, an
international training organization. He has presented more than
500 fun-filled, thought - provoking workshops, events and keynotes
around the world.

CITY OF MOORPARK
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Services
DATE: February 6, 1995
SUBJECT: Consider Commission Work Session and Park Tour.
The Commission tries to take two park tours each year, to
become acquainted with the City Parks and to make
recommendations to staff regarding on -going maintenance, as
well as considerations for future capital improvement
projects.
In addition, staff met with the Commission in 1992 for an
informal workshop, which outlined roles and responsibilities
of the Commission in relationship to staff, and review of the
Brown Act and Roberts Rules of Order. This workshop was
scheduled on the same day as the park tour, for a full 8 hour
day. The Commission at that time felt that the one day of
activities was very helpful in preparing them for their role
on the Commission.
There will also be a Joint Meeting with the City Council, at
which time the City Council will provide information to the
Commission on their role in relationship with the City
Council, and to discuss any items of mutual concern. A date
for this meeting will be set by the Mayor and City Council,
and has not been determined at this time.
Staff would recommend that the adjourned Commission Meeting
be held in March, on a Saturday or Sunday that is convenient
for the Commission, following the CPRS Conference.
RECOMMENDATION
Set a date for an adjourned Commission Meeting to be held on
a weekend in March.
CITY OF MOORPARK
AGENDA REPORT lam,
\cam"
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission`
FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Services
DATE: February 6, 1995
SUBJECT: Consider Recommending Mid -Year Budget Review by City
council for Campus Canyon Playground Equipment.
BACKGROUND
On Sunday, October 9, 1994, the Parks and Recreation Commission
toured the City parks.
The Commission present at the tour discussed the need for additional
play equipment at Campus Canyon Park, in addition to replacing some
of the older equipment which was not functional any longer.
This had been a capital improvement item from the Parks Improvement
Fund in Fiscal Year 1993 -94, but had been removed by consensus of the
Commission at that time to use some of the funding in the Park
Improvement Fund in that zone to assist with the funding of the
proposed rollerhockey court at Arroyo Vista.
The Commission requested, by consensus at the Park tour that this
item be placed on a future agenda to discuss.
Currently there is $ in Zone3which is the Campus Park Zone and is for
park improvement costs at Campus Park, Griffin Park and Campus Canyon
Park. Forty percent (40 %) of the available funds can be used for
"community park purposes" in other zones, and some of the funds that
are now being used at Arroyo Vista Community Park for the
rollerhockey rink came from this zone, under this provision in the
Quimby ordinance.
The Commission may want to establish an ad -hoc committee to work with
staff on determining the play equipment needs at Campus Canyon Park
(i.e. repairing or replacing existing equipment and /or adding new
equipment), and with staff determine costs for said needs, and
present this to the Commission to consider further.
The next recommended action would be for the Commission to then
recommend 1) a mid -year budget amendment, for work to be done this
fiscal year, or 2) include this cost in the budget recommendation to
the City Council for FY 95/96 for Park Improvement Fund Capital
Projects.
RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
