8. DISCUSSION /ACTION ITEMS:
A. 1998/99 Parks Capital Improvement Budget. Staff
Recommendation: Commission to approve a recommended list
of Park Capital Improvement Projects for inclusion in the
FY 1998/99 Budget for City Council consideration.
Ms. Lindley presented a summary of the Agenda Report.
Commissioner Badoud suggested that since $10,000 was
previously budgeted for AVCP Phase II Conceptual Design
and the low bid was for approximately $13,000, that an
additional $3,000 be budgeted in FY 1998/99 for this
project. He also recommended that the City delay
improvements to unimproved parking lots 1 and 2.
Commissioner Thompson expressed concern about proceeding
with AVCP Phase II in light of the issue of funding park
maintenance. She indicated that she could not support
the additional allocation of $3,000 to complete the
design project.
MOTION: Commissioner Badoud moved to recommend the allocation of
$3,000 to complete the AVCP Phase II Conceptual Design
and to defer improvements to the parking lots.
Commissioner Oberg seconded. The motion was carried 3 -1,
with Commissioner Thompson opposed. Commissioner
Dubreuil was absent.
Commissioner Oberg stated that he was not in favor of
replacing the destroyed gazebo at Poindexter Park at this
time, using park improvement funds, unless the City is
able to identify a structure that is better able to
withstand vandalism. He stated that he would even be
willing to see the City spend more money if a stronger
structure could be found.
C: W\COMM &COU\PRMINMAR. WPD
Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting

Page 3
Commissioner Thompson concurred and suggested that the
Commission and staff speak to the various vendors who
will be present at the CPRS Conference for suggestions.
Commissioner Badoud stated that a wooden gazebo is more
prone to damage and that the City should consider a
structure made of a different material.
Commissioner Thompson stated that she believed that the
cost estimate for a permanent goal post at Campus Canyon
Park was too high. She also stated that at the time the
last park tour was conducted, the Commission discussed
planting more trees along the north wall and moving the
proposed new goal post as far south as possible. Ms.
Lindley stated that she would confirm the cost and note
any adjustment.
Commissioner Badoud stated that some of the play
equipment at Campus Park may have been replaced within
the last couple of years. This equipment would not need
to be replaced, thereby saving money. Commissioner
Thompson stated that the tot lot equipment was replaced.
Commissioner Oberg suggested that the Commission consider
reducing the scope of the equipment replacement, thereby
reducing the cost to approximately $30,000.
Ms. Lindley stated that she would make copies of the bid
proposals the City received on play equipment replacement
so that the Commissioners could evaluate which equipment
to delete.
MOTION: Commissioner Badoud moved that a decision on Zone 3 be
deferred until after the Park Tour in March and the CPRS
Conference. Chair Parvin seconded. The motion was
carried 4 -0. Commissioner Dubreuil was absent.
Commissioner Oberg suggested that the Commission defer a
decision on replacing the play equipment at Peach Hill

Park until after the March Park Tour, but recommended
that the parking lot be resurfaced.
MOTION: Commissioner Badoud moved that the Commission recommend
funding the resurfacing of parking lots at Peach Hill
Park but not replacing the play equipment. Commissioner
Thompson seconded. The motion failed 2 -2, with
Commissioners Parvin and Oberg opposed. Commissioner
Dubreuil was absent.
Commissioner Oberg asked Ms. Lindley to explain the idea
behind the security gates for Country Trail Park. Ms.
Lindley stated that they would be used to close the park
when it floods due to heavy rain. Commissioner Badoud
stated that since the park rarely floods, the gates may
not be needed. Commissioner Oberg suggested that staff
identify other fence options that would cost less, such
as the orange temporary fence that was used in February.
Chair Parvin stated that she would like to see something
other than the orange fence, something that looks more
attractive and fits in with the existing fence.
Commissioner Badoud suggested that the Commission defer
any expenditure to resurface the parking lot at Mountain
Meadows to a later year.
MOTION: Commissioner Oberg moved to defer all improvements in
Zone 5 to a later year. Commissioner Badoud seconded.
The motion was carried 4 -0. Commissioner Dubreuil was
absent.
Commissioner Oberg stated that he was in favor of
deferring a decision on improvement to the play equipment
for Glenwood Park until the Commission's April meeting.

Commission Badoud asked that consideration be giving to
installing lights for the basketball courts. He asked
staff to get a cost estimate for the April meeting.
Commissioner Oberg stated that he would rather see the
play equipment replaced first before considering
basketball court lights.
MOTION: Commissioner Badoud moved to defer a decision on Zone 6
until the April meeting. Commissioner Oberg seconded.

deferred items for the April Commission meeting.
B. Schedule Parks and Recreation Commission's Bi- annual Park
Tour. Staff Recommendation: Schedule a Park Tour for
the Commission and staff.
Commissioner Badoud asked if staff could identify a
tentative schedule as to when the Commission would be at
each park. This would be used to notify the public in
the event members of the public wanted to be present.
He also asked that the schedule be posted on the City's

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director Community Services
DATE: March 24, 1998 (Meeting of April 6, 1998)
SUBJECT: Consider Proposed Park Capital Improvement Budget for FY 1998/99
At its meeting on March 2, 1998, the Commission was asked to review the Park Improvement
Fund (212) and to provide the City Council with a recommendation on park capital improvement
projects for FY 1998/99. At that time, the Commission made several recommendations and
deferred consideration of projects in certain parks until after the Park Tour, scheduled for March
29.
In summary, the Commission made the following recommendations in regards to park capital
improvements:
Allocate $3,000 in addition to the $10,000 that was allocated in FY 1997/98 for
completion of the AVCP Phase II conceptual design. This action was in response
to the bid proposal the City received to perform the design work.
Defer all improvements in Zone 5 (Mountain Meadows area) to a later year.
Defer consideration of improvements for replacing the gazebo at Poindexter Park,
improvement in Zone 3 (Campus Park area), and improvements in Zone 4 (Peach
Hill area) until after the Park Tour and CPRS conference.
Staff has provided revised and updated attachments, following the recent park tour, to aid the
Commission in its decision making process. Attachment A is an updated report on the status of
the Park Improvement Fund (212) and the fund balances in the various zones. Attachment B is a
list of the various park improvements that the Commission may wish to take into consideration.
Where called for, I have revised the estimated costs for certain projects.
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission identify park capital improvements
for FY 1998/99 for consideration by the City Council.

CITY OF MOORPARK
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services
DATE: March 24, 1998 (Meeting of April 6, 1998)
SUBJECT Review Proposed Recreation Programs, Special Events, and Projects for
Inclusion in the FY 1998/99 Budget
The City is in the process of developing its budget for FY 1998/99. The Recreation Division has
submitted a draft proposal for programs, special events, and projects which is being presented to
the Commission for its review and comment.
By way of background, the Recreation Division concentrates the majority of its operations and
activities at the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center. The Division is supervised by a Recreation
Superintendent, Shelly Shellabarger, and its activities include classes, special events, youth and
adult sports programs, day camps, teen programs, and general recreation promotional efforts
(recreation brochure). This agenda report serves to summarize the proposed activities for FY
1998/99.
Recreation classes are provided by the Division using contract instructors. The instructors
enter into a contract with the City to provide services. The City collects the registration
fees and shares the fees with the instructors, usually on a 60/40 split (instructor receives
60 percent of the fees, the City retains 40 percent). Most classes are held at City facilities.
Recreation classes are designed to be self - sustaining; that is, they should generate enough
revenue to cover all direct and in- direct costs attributed to providing the service. From
time -to -time, this requires staff to evaluate class fees. During FY 1997/98, staff has
attempted to eliminate classes that have not proven to be popular and to add new classes
that would be of interest to Moorpark residents. Eliminating classes that tend to cancel
due to low registrations saves the City money on administrative costs. As a result, we
have seen a decrease in our cancellation rate. Additionally, staff installed a new
registration software program that makes it much easier to process and track recreation
registrations, and in March, staff successfully implemented credit card transactions which
greatly facilitates the registration process and enhances our customer service. Staff plans
to continue with these efforts in FY 1998/99.

March 26, 1998
Page 2
With the loss of the park maintenance assessment district, the Council's Budget and
Finance Committee is currently recommending for Council consideration a significant
reduction in the number of special events for FY 1998/99. Additionally, the City Council
took action in March to proceed with the 1998 3rd of July Fireworks event and to
eliminate the 1998 Community Celebration. To that end, staff has looked at focusing its
efforts on a limited number of special events and restructuring those events so that they
generate sufficient revenue to cover a significant portion, if not all, of their costs.
Additionally, staff plans to solicit more interest from volunteers, thereby reducing some
part-time staff hours. Staff is proposing the following special events:
► 3rd of July Fireworks
► Easter Egg Hunt - Consider charging a nominal fee and soliciting donations
► Halloween - Consider charging a nominal fee and soliciting donations
► Visits with Santa - This event was discontinued in FY 1997/98. It has the
potential of generating revenue in excess of its expenses. Staff would like
to offer the program again.
► Christmas Holiday Event - Staff is working on a new event to replace
Breakfast with Santa. A fee would be charged.
Craft Fair - This event has traditionally netted some revenue. Staff will
evaluate ways to increase the event's net revenues in FY 1998/99.
The Division sponsors several youth sports leagues, including Junior Basketball, T -Ball,
and Roller Hockey. Additionally, throughout the year we attempt to offer sports camps
and/or demonstrations. This past year, our basketball and T -ball leagues were very
successful. In fact, this Winter we could have expanded the number of basketball teams,
but were limited due to the competing need with MBA for indoor gym space. We continue
to have difficulty generating sufficient enrollment for roller hockey. Staff recently met
with a private roller hockey firm that plans to present a proposal for organizing and
operating a youth roller hockey league in Moorpark. Our tennis classes can also be
considered under youth and adult sports, although we handle them like a recreation class.
Interest in the City's tennis classes is always very strong.

Like our recreation classes, our youth sports leagues are designed to be self - sufficient.
The fees we charge should cover all direct and in- direct costs. To hold costs and fees to a
minimum, the Division relies on volunteer coaches. During FY 1998/99, staff plans to
increase publicity for our youth sports programs. At the suggestion of Commissioner
Badoud, staff is attending opening day for each of the Moorpark youth sports
organizations to distribute information.
The Division offers several adult sports leagues including softball, basketball, and
volleyball. Over that last couple of years, we have not been successful in getting enough
interest to hold a volleyball league. In its place, we have offered "open gym" volleyball
where adults can participate in a "pick up" game. This past year, the Division very
successfully implemented a new women's league that rotates to a different sport each
season. The league consists of approximately 45 women who started with basketball, are
now playing volleyball, and will move on to basketball again in the Spring. Adult sports
leagues are designed to generate additional net revenue over and above their costs. Staff
is mindful that fees need to be competitive with surrounding jurisdictions. Staff plans to
continue with adult sports leagues in FY 1998/99.
In addition to youth and adult sports leagues, the Division also offers "open" gym time
when adults and youth can use the basketball facilities. In the past, open gym has always
been available at no cost to players. In an effort to offset the Division's costs for staff
time and facility use, we have begun a demonstration program which involves charging $2
for open gym on Sundays. This demonstration will be evaluated in June to determine
whether or not it should continue and/or be expanded to cover all open gym time.
Surrounding jurisdictions also charge a nominal fee for open gym use.
The Division has traditionally offered a summer day camp for kids. Camp includes fun
activities, crafts, games, and excursions. The fees generated by Camp have typically
generated revenue in excess of its expenses. Last year the Division experienced less net
revenue than in years past. Staff is evaluating ways to reduce Camp costs, and is also
considering fee increases. No final recommendation has been made regarding camp fees
for FY 1998/99. Additionally, staff is proposing a Winter Camp and Spring Camp to fill
C:\D0CS\ADM1N\RECPR0GS.00M
Recreation Program FY 1998/99 Budget Review
March 26, 1998
Page 4
the needs of working parents during school breaks. The initiation of these camps will
depend on enrollment.
The City has a very small budget for teen programs. Unlike most of the other programs
under the Recreation Division, teen programs are generally not intended to net any
revenue and are often offered at no cost to the participant. Over the last three months,
Division staff have been working hard on evaluating existing teen programs and
identifying new activities that have the potential of generating new interest. To that end,
for FY 1998/99 staff proposes after- school teen drop -in activities at AVRC. Two days a
week would be set aside for games and crafts. We have purchased a ping -pong table,
foosball table, and video games for use on the AVRC big- screen T.V. Twice a week the
portable skateboard ramps will be set up for use by skateboarders and in -line skaters.
Fridays will be set aside for special activities like band jams, pizza parties, etc. As a part
of the Budget and Finance Committee's preliminary efforts to cut general fund
expenditures to make up for the loss of the park maintenance assessment, the teen
coordinator position, along with other part-time recreation staff hours, was identified for
elimination. Should these hours be eliminated in the final budget, the Division will need to
rely on full -time staff to carry out these activities to a greater extent. The use of
volunteers will be critical since teen activities require supervision.
The new items proposed by staff for implementation in FY 1998/99 have not been presented to
the City Manager, the Budget and Finance Committee, nor the City Council. They represent
department staff's preliminary ideas. The Commission is being asked to consider staffs proposals
and to provide comments regarding the addition or deletion of programs.
Review the proposed Recreation Division programs for 1998/99 and provide staff with
comments.

Background
Each year the City Council adopts goals and objective for the new fiscal year. The purpose of the
City's goals and objectives is to help elected officials and staff identify work priorities for the new
fiscal year. In an attempt to make the process and the final document more meaningful, several
years the City Council used a slightly different approach. The City Council identified seven broad
citywide goals that reflect the City's commitment to its Mission Statement. Under each goal,
various objectives were identified that illustrate how the City plans to achieve the goals. A copy
of the 1997/98 objectives that are related to the Parks and Recreation Commission's areas of
responsibility have been provided with this report as Attachment A.
Department staff has begun the process of identifying objectives that it believes deserve
consideration for 1998/99. Those objectives include the following:
Develop a Youth Master Plan
Revamp the City's teen programs.
Identify programs and services that have the potential of generating revenue including the
implementation of drop -in activities at AVRC and the use of skateboard ramps.
Update and revise the City's Park Master Plan. '
The Commission is being asked to consider potential objectives for 98/99 and to forward a
recommendation to the City Council.
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend objectives related to its
area of responsibility for FY 1998/99 for consideration by the City Council.
