DISCUSSION /ACTION ITEMS: A. Consider Request From Moorpark Packer Football for Installation and Use of Semi Permanent Lights. Staff Recommendation: For the Commission to consider Packer Football's request and provide a recommendation. (Continued item from March 1, 1999 meeting.) Public Speaker: Mr. Douglas Shoop, President of Packer Football, gave a summary of the proposal submitted by Packer Football. He reviewed projected costs, installation plans, and the request of a loan from the City in the amount of $15,000. Ms. Lindley gave her oral report, sta,�ing she spoke with Edison, and they only provide the permits and install the transformer and meter. Ms. Lindley reminded Mr. Shoop and the Commission that funds are not available in the Community Zone for a loan. Commissioner Catrambone suggested the City consider purchasing portable lights mounted on trailers that could be used by both the sports organizations and for City sponsored events. Ms. Lindley sated that she felt this option was not feasible since each light trailer would cost approximately $30,000. Commissioner Catrambone suggested staff look i -=to government surplus centers to purchase these trailers at a much lower cost. Commissioner Thompson stated that she could not support the recommendation of a loan at this time. She would first like to see if the assessment ballot passes, and she stated that providing a loan to Packer Football might cause conflict with other sports organizations, who may also request assistance from the City for improvements. Commissioner Pflaumer suggested a different loan proposal of $10,000 to purchase the light fixtures now, and once the initial loan was repaid, any additional funds needed could be discussed at that time. P &R Commission Minutes April 5, 1999 Page 3 Chair Dubreuil requested that Packer Football provide their financial statement to the City. The Council could then review when it considers the request for a loan. MOTION: Commissioner Hare moved to make a recommendation to the City Council to loan Packer Football $15,000 for the installation of semi - permanent lights at Arroyo Vista Park, to be paid back in three payments of $5,000 each. The first payment to be due in the fall of 1999, and the remaining two payments to be made in the years 2000 and 2001. Packer Football is to provide their financial statement for review by the Commission and City Council. Commission Catrambone seconded. The motion was carried 3 -2, with Commissioners Pflaumer and Thompson opposed. B. Consider FY 1999/00 Goals and Objectives. Staff Recommendation: Provide a list of park and recreation related Goals and Objectives for FY 1999/00 for Council consideration. (Continued from the March 1, 1999 meeting.) Ms. Lindley reviewed her staff report and suggestions for 1999/00 Goals and Objectives, and then each Commissioner gave his /her input for consideration. A consensus was reached by the Commission for the following twelve items to be recommended to the City Council for their consideration: 1. Establish a permanent Skatepark. 2.

FROM: Shelly Shellabarger, Recreation Superintendent 1�7— DATE: May 14, 1999 (Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting of June 7, 1999) SUBJECT: Consider Winter Quarterly Report BACKGROUND Attached for your review is the Winter Quarterly Report submitted to the City Manager. This report covers classes; adult sports, youth sports, teen programs, brochure and facility reservations. Recreation registrations showed a significant drop from Winter 1998 as well as other past programs. This is due to the fact that the Winter brochure was combined with the Fall 19981°brochure as a budget reduction effort. The chart below illustrates a comparison between recreation registration figures for Winter 1999 and the previous season (Fall 1998) as well as a year to date comparison with Winter 1998. A chart is attached that further illustrates these figures. As a result of this drop in registration, which is directly linked to the marketing effort, staff is recommending that a separate Winter brochure be budgeted for FY 99/00.

Both activities were very successful and well received by the community. The Easter Egg Hunt is distinguished from previous events in that an entry fee of $1 was charged. This allowed staff to recapture a portion of the costs related to this event and provided a mechanism for tracking participation. Due to the newly implemented Teen Volunteer program, our volunteer support nearly doubled from last year. Staff recommends charging $2 in 2000. Spring Camp was an unequivocal success, filled to capacity each day. As with Winter Camp, this school break day care opportunity ran from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm during the MUSD vacation.

Lindley, Director of Community ftc, DATE: June 1, 1999 (Commission Meeting of June 7, 1999) SUBJECT: Consider the Conceptual Master Plan for Arroyo Vista Community Park Phase II BACKGROUND In October 1998, the City Council awarded a contract to Takata and Associates to prepare a conceptual master plan for AVCP Phase II. The contract's scope of work included identifying uses for the undeveloped portion of the Park (the area east of the football field), as well as potential changes (relocation and /or elimination) to uses /amenities within the Park's developed areas. In drafting plan options for consideration, Takata was asked to reserve space to expand the gym and recreation center, which is a concept that was a part of the original Arroyo Visa Recreation Center plans. The potential new /additional sports and recreational amenities Takata was asked to consider coyered a wide range of interests including, but not limited to: various sports fields, aquatic facilities, a running trail, skatepark, bicycle motor cross (BMX), basketball courts, sand or grass volleyball, passive park areas, picnic amenities, play lots, an outdoor band - shell, an additional restroom /concession building, and added parking space. To assist with the task of identifying the needs and desires of the community and potential park users, the Parks and Recreation Commission held two special meetings, coordinated by Takata and Associates. These meetings, held on February 24 and April 12, were conducted in a workshop -type setting and were specifically designed to solicit input from the community on a Master Plan for AVCP Phase II. A number of Moorpark youth sports organizations were well represented at the meetings, along with youth and adults not necessarily affiliated with any formal organization. The most heavily requested amenities were for more youth sports fields, specifically soccer and softball, and for the retention of, at a minimum, the existing football field and football AVCP Master Plan Phase II Page 2 practice area. Additionally, there was also a request from Moorpark Little League for five baseball fields (this is t7-:e minimum number needed to move its operation to AVCP from Chaparral Middle School and Poindexter Park where five fields are currently used). There were also a number of requests for a skatepark facility (for skateboarders and in -line skaters) and a BMX track. Several Moorpark teens expressed a strong interest in such amenities as a safe and challenging alternative to the impromptu use of park hardscape and local streetscape. There were also a couple of requests for amenities that would support interests of senior citizens, specifically bocce ball, lawn bowling, and horse shoes. There was very little interest in setting aside park areas for passive uses. A summary of each meeting has been attached to this Agenda Report for review. As a result of the input provided through the workshops, Takata and Associates, working with Department staff, developed the proposed conceptual plan you are being asked to consider. With one minor exception, the relocation of the existing tot lot and picnic pavilion, the proposed conceptual plan retains all existing amenities in their current locations. It also provides for additional soccer fields, one additional softball field, a second restroom /concession building, skatepark, BMX track, an additional picnic pavilion and tot lot, an aquatic center, a running trail, and additional parking areas throughout the park. ►-1 The proposed Conceptual Plan also provides for the expansion of the gym and recreation center and maintains the multipurpose court, softball fields, football fields, and the four large soccer fields in their current locations. Additionally, the plan provides for all of the youth sport interest addressed at the workshops, with the exception of baseball fields. Moorpark Little League has indicated that it would need at least five fields at AVCP in order to move its base of operation. Incorporating five new baseball fields was not feasible without eliminating additional soccer fields, skatepark, and BMX tract proposed in the undeveloped portion of the park. The proposed Plan also does not include the amenities requested by the senior citizens. Due to the lack of space and the nature of a "community park ", staff recommends that if the Commission wishes to consider space for lawn bowling, and horse shoes, that it consider one of the City's neighborhood parks at a future date, since these activities would not generate significant parking demands. \\MOR PRI SERV\HOMI: FOLDERS\MLINDLEY\PARKS\AVCP MASTER PLAN COMAGD.DOC AVCP Master Plan Phase II Page 3 In considering which activities to locate at AVCP, the Commission should consider which ones have participation levels that require a large number of parking spaces and which ones will find greater community acceptance at a community park, rather than in a neighborhood park. The four large youth sports organizations (AYSO, Girls Softball, Packer Football, and Little League) all require parking in excess of what can typically be accommodated at a neighborhood park. Little League is able to use parking behind Mission Bell Plaza and is therefore not solely dependent on Poindexter Park parking lot. The Roller Hockey League also generates participation levels that require a number of parking spaces. Additionally, it would not be cost effective to relocate roller hockey to another park in an effort to accommodate other uses, with the exception of an aquatic center or building expansion. As proposed, the Conceptual Plan will allow Moorpark AYSO, Moorpark Girls Softball, and Moorpark Packer Football to continue to operate with AVCP as their homebase (Note - AYSO may use Moorpark High School fields for its older age group). Once the Commission has formulated a recommendation on the Master Plan for AVCP Phase II, its action will be forwarded to the City Council. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission approve the p�,oposed Master Plan for AVCP Phase II as presented in the Agenda Report and forward its recommendation to the City Council. \\MOR PRI SERV\HOME FOLDERS\MLINDLEY\I'ARKS\AVCP MASTER PLAN COMAGD.DOC CITY OF MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: The Parks & Recreation Commission FROM: Shelly Shellabarger, Recreation Superintendent`T DATE: May 21, 1999 (Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting of June 7, 1999) SUBJECT: Consider Revision to the Junior Basketball Rules BACKGROUND The City has received a request to amend Junior Basketball League (JBL) rules. Currently, the City's Youth Sports Manual includes a Mandatory Playing Rule (Section V.B.8) which states: " Each player must play at least ten (10) minutes per half. This will provide everyone with the chance to participate in th(4, game." This guideline is not monitored by staff; rather it is a self - regulated standard enforced by parents and coaches. The requested rule amendment reflects a Maximum Playing Rule, which would state that no one player shall be allowed to play the entire game. The justification behind such a rule would be to ensure even the best players are rotated out and that all the players spend time on the bench. In the event there are not enough players to rotate, the rule would not apply. If the City were to implement this, it is proposed that it also be a self - regulated standard enforced by parents and coaches. The recommended wording would be: " Maximum Playing Rule: Each player must sit out at least ten minutes of each game. Exception: When there are not enough players to field a team." Staff is asking Commission to discuss the proposed amendment and provide staff with a recommendation. STAFF RECODMENDATION It is recommended that the Co;urissi. or. review the jBL Plaver Mandatory Playing Rule and provide a recommends- ion to staff. m
