8. DISCUSSION /ACTION ITEMS:
A. Consider Adjustment in Fee Schedule for Tennis Court
Rental. Staff Recommendation: Approve a revision of
Resolution 98 -1523, adopting a revised fee schedule
for the use of all City tennis court facilities, as
identified on Attachment B. (Continued from 1/3/00)
Gwen Indermill explained the adjustments made to the
proposed fee and policies, which had been presented to
the Commission at the January meeting. A tournament
category was added, with the flat fee of $100 per day
suggested for a City non - profit tournament. The
limitations for a tournament would be a maximum of 5
hours reservation each day, and no more than 5 courts
to be reserved each day at AVCP.
There were two public speakers:
1. Mr. Robert Pereira, President of the Moorpark
Tennis Club, stated that the City sponsored
tennis programs seem to meet most needs of the
public except two: programs for seniors and
tennis tournaments. He was in agreement with
staff's recommendation for item 8.A, with the
exception of the suggested number of courts. He
Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes
February 7, 2000
Page 3
requested the Commission to consider adjusting
the number of courts included in the tournament
rate, from five to six at AVCP.
2. Ms. Roseann Mikos, Moorpark resident and member
of the Moorpark Tennis Club, agreed with Mr.
Pereira, that allowing the maximum of 6 courts to
be reserved for tournaments, would still leave
enough open courts throughout the City to
accommodate the general public.
The Commission and staff discussed adjusting the
proposed reservation policy of five courts to six, but
at a slightly higher fee of $120 per day. Staff also
answered questions regarding banners, concessions
stands, and opening restrooms earlier than the
scheduled hours. It was agreed that banners could be
displayed, but would have to be removed at the end of
each day. It was also agreed that any time the
Center's restrooms needed to be opened before the
normally scheduled time, a fee would be paid for a
staff member to open them and remain on duty.
MOTION: Commissioner Thompson moved

Commissioner Pflaumer
carried 4 -1, with
Commissioner Catrambone stated that he could not
support the motion because it reflects a 40% loss in
revenue to the City from the initial proposal.
B. Review of Proposition 12: Safe Neighborhood Parks,
Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond
Act of 2000. Staff Recommendation: Receive and file
report.
Gwen Indermill gave a brief overview of Proposition
12. Ms. Lindley stated that if passed, there would be
two funding opportunities available. The first is a
per capita allocation, non - competitive, to each
Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes
February 7, 2000
Page 4
jurisdiction. The second is competitive for grant
funding.
Commissioner Catrambone questioned the statement on
Operational Costs. Ms. Lindley explained that this
statement is to clarify that any additional ongoing
costs that may incur from improvements made from
Proposition 12 funding, will be the responsibility of
that City or jurisdiction.
Chair Dubreuil stated she strongly supports
Proposition 12 and asked the Commission if they would
request the City Council to publicly support it. She
feels this is a great opportunity to increase the
funding for much needed park improvements and
maintenance. She also expressed how important this
funding is, after the recent shortage of funds in
which the City experienced prior to the park
assessment district passing in June 1999.
Commissioner Pflaumer stated that at this time, he
does not feel comfortable asking Council to support a
Proposition he has not had time to review in depth.
Commissioner Thompson feels that since this
Proposition is supported by the CPRS, she is also in
support. She would like to see it forwarded to the
Council, however, she does not feel it is the
Commission's role to express a position.
Commissioner Catrambone stated that there should not
be a recommendation to the Council if the Commission
as a whole cannot support the Proposition.
There was one public speaker:
1. Roseann Mikos, Moorpark resident, spoke in favor
of Proposition 12, and stated that she felt very
strongly in favor of a recommendation from the
Commission to the City Council asking for their
support of this proposition.

DATE: February 23, 2000 (Meeting of March 6, 2000)
SUBJECT: Teen Ski Trips Evaluation Report
Below is the evaluation report for the two teen ski trips that were held this year. Both trips were
to Mountain High Ski Resort, and were held on school holidays. On the second page please note
that I have included last year's ski trips as a comparison factor.

Name of Activity/Event
Teen Ski Trips
Day and Date
Monday, January 31 and Monday, February 21, 2000
Time
6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Location
Mountain High Ski Resort
Event/Activity Features
Teens were provided transportation to the ski area where they
went skiing, snowboarding and took lessons.
Event/Activity Review
Weather was the main theme for this year. In January, Mt.
High received limited snowfall and this may have contributed
to a drop in attendance. The teens that attended the trip were
well behaved and stated that they wanted the ski trips to
continue in the future. The February trip was very different as
Mt. High had received much needed snowfall and continued to
snow the day of the trip. Although staff was concerned about
the weather, the roads were clear and all the teens said that they
enjoyed the trip and would attend ski trips in the future.
Suggestions for Future
1. Schedule the trip in February on a day other than a holiday
Activities
to avoid large crowds, which also contributed to a lack of
lodging facilities at Mt. High.
2. Investigate the feasibility of scheduling a trip to Big Bear
next year.
MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services n)c
DATE: February 28, 2000 (Meeting of March 6, 2000)
SUBJECT: Consider Selection of a Name for the Park in Specific
Plan 92 -1 (Carlsberg)
BACKGROUND
At its February 7 meeting, the Commission selected Commissioners
Pflaumer and Thompson to serve on an Ad Hoc Committee for the
naming of the park in Specific Plan 92 -1 (Carlsberg) . The task
of the Ad Hoc Committee was to develop a recommendation for the
name of the park, considering the Council's suggestion to
incorporate the centennial founding of the community of
Moorpark. The full Ad Hoc Committee was not able to meet prior
to the Commission's March meeting, but Commissioner Thompson and
staff did discuss potential names for the Commission's
consideration. Those names include Apricot Hills Park,
Centennial Park, Centennial Grove Park, Freemont Hills Park,
Fairview Park, and Pioneers Park.
DISCUSSION
At its meeting on January 19, the City Council took a second
look at the recommendation forwarded by the Parks and Recreation
Commission on a name for the park in Specific Plan 92 -1
(Carlsberg) . The name being recommended by the Commission was
Sereno Ridge Park.
At the request of the City Council, the Commission was asked to
reconsider its recommendation and report back to the City
Council. In light of the historic importance of Moorpark's
centennial, marking the community's 100 years, it was felt that
a park name recognizing the milestone would be appropriate.
Carlsberg Park Name
Page 2
It was suggested by the Council, that names of prominent
individuals who played important roles in the founding and
establishment of the community of Moorpark be considered.
Additionally, the City Council requested that the Commission
seek suggestions from the Centennial Committee, a small
committee recently formed to recognize Moorpark's Centennial,
and the Moorpark Historical Society. The Commission is in
receipt of a letter signed by the chairman of the Centennial
Committee and the president of the Historical Society. The name
the two organizations suggest is Centennial Park.
Also, the Council requested that the City solicit park name
suggestions from interested residents. Staff sought suggestions
through the newspaper, Channel 10, and the City's web page. The
City received suggestions from a total of 10 individuals (see
Attachment A).
Information gathered from Mrs. Norma Gunter's two historical
books about Moorpark was used to research potential names to
commemorate the establishment of Moorpark. The six names
provided by Commissioner Thompson and staff have some historical
background. Apricot orchards were once an important industry in
Moorpark and a source of pride. The Moorpark area was once
described as "Fremont, a subdivision of Rancho Simi ". It was
later called Fremontville (around 1893). Early on in Moorpark's
history there was a Fairview school, Fairview School District
and Fairview land track. Fairview was actually an area just
north of the City's northern boundary. It was said that the name
"Fairview" came from early settlers who noted that they had a
"fair view" of the ocean. The word "Grove" recognizes the
importance of the apricot and walnut groves that once thrived in
the Moorpark area. Centennial and Pioneers recognize the
significance of the founding of the Moorpark community.
The names of prominent residents were also considered, but there
are so many who were instrumental in Moorpark's establishment
and growth, it was too difficult to narrow the list down to one.
Some of the names identified included:
1) Charles Dorn - he was the first merchant in Moorpark and
his family is said to have played an integral part in the
settlement of the area, and is considered by some to be
Moorpark's "First Family ";
\ \MOR_PRI_SERV\home_ folders \MLindley\PARKS \carlsberg pk name 3 commagd.doc
Carlsberg Park Name
Page 3
2) Monroe Everett - he grew
ranch in the area of Los
Boulevard. He later built
ranches in the Moorpark area
and Read Roads; and
up on his father's apricot
Angeles Avenue and Hitch
one of the most productive
at the location of Moorpark
3) James Strathearn - he and his family moved to the
"Moorpark Ranch" (Moorpark College /Happy Camp area) in
1889. On the Ranch they raised cattle and walnuts. He was
known as a progressive agricultural engineer and he built
the first pumping plant in the valley. He also invented a
machine to chop cactus for cattle to eat. In 1966, with
the construction of the College, he and his wife purchased
a house on Third Street.
There are other individuals and families who also played
important roles in the formation of Moorpark: the Laughins,
Eetes, Smiths, Agoures, Barretts, Stuarts, Bauers, Hughes, and
Reads.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Parks and Recreation Commission
select one or more names for the park in Specific Plan 92 -1 and
forward its recommendation to the City Council for
consideration.

AGENDA REPORT
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services j'n-
DATE: February 25, 2000 (For March 6, 2000)
SUBJECT: Consider Park Capital Improvement Budget for 2000/01
BACKGROUND
Each year, the Parks and Recreation Commission is asked to review
the Park Improvement Budget for the new fiscal year and to
provide the City Council with a recommendation on park capital
improvement projects. The Commission is being asked to consider
potential projects for FY 2000/01 in advance of the Park Tour
scheduled for April 2. Based on the Commission's comments, staff
can attempt to provide additional background information and cost
estimates to assist with a final recommendation tentatively set
for the April 3 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.
The Park Capital Improvement Fund is comprised of so- called
Quimby park in -lieu fees, fees imposed on new multi- family
residential and commercial /industrial projects, parkland lease
revenue, and interest income on the fund balance. Pursuant to
City Council's approved action, there are six park improvement
zones, five which fund neighborhood parks and one which funds
community parks. Funds are collected within a zone when new
development takes place. Of the newly collected funds, 60
percent stay within the neighborhood zone where the funds were
collected. These funds can only be spent on neighborhood park
facilities located within that zone. The remaining 40 percent go
into a community park zone fund which funds improvements of
community park facilities (Arroyo Vista Community Park).
During 1999/00, a number of projects were undertaken. Those
projects include:
➢ Construction of eight lighted tennis courts at AVCP,
➢ Replacement of wooden benches at Griffin Park,
➢ Replacement of playground equipment at Peach Hill Park (in
progress),

page 2
➢ Replacement of playground equipment at Campus Canyon Park
(in progress), and
Replacement of drinking fountain at Peach Hill Park (in
progress).
As of February 2000, two of the seven Zones have liabilities in
excess of their assets: the Community Zone and Zone 5 (Mountain
Meadows). Any projects recommended in these two Zones would
require funding sources other than the Park Improvement Fund.
The purpose of this Agenda Report is to begin the process of
identifying park improvement projects. It is suggested that the
Commission's final project recommendations be made at its meeting
in April. Attachment B to this Report identifies some potential
improvements staff believes the Commission may want to consider
for FY 2000/01. The outcome of the Commission's final
recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for its
consideration during the upcoming budget process.
