Only one day of watering was lost. Park staff added additional cement sidewalk area at the storeroom and at the monument sign. Well #2 (wood structure) was vandalized again and was repaired by staff. Park staff and Sunridge jointly prepared AVCP for the 3rd of July celebration.

The roller hockey storage bin door has rusted to the point that it will have to be replaced. Staff is in the process of securing a new rental bin. Security lights were repaired at all walkways and all are now operational. The well pump's main connection failed and flooded the football field in August. Park staff repaired, and the system was back in service the same day. Staff is currently working on a report reflecting the use of the tennis court lights; the cost to operate, and revenue received.

The contractor will repair or replace. Campus Canyon Park: There are a number of bare turf areas resulting from soccer play. At the end of the season the turf will be reseeded. Staff removed the wrought iron fence on the east -side of the park. A bid to cut the block posts and cap were received. All Parks: Staff prepared a water audit report, which identifies the actual water usage in each park verses the actual need. We have found that the allocation identified by Ventura County Water Works District I for park spaces differs from the allocation the City needs to keep its high use park areas green. When the City exceeds its allocation, the cost per gallon increases significantly. City staff will be scheduling a meeting with Water Works to discuss increased water allocations. New playground rules signs will soon be ordered that will be color coordinated to match the playground equipment. The signs will be consistent with the new playground safety guidelines and will indicate the age appropriateness of the equipment.

Park rentals over the past quarter saw a slight decrease in total number of permits, however many permits include multiple dates for use of park facilities (i.e. Mountain Meadows ballfield field, Miller Park ballfield, and Campus Canyon Park athletic /soccer field). This quarter reflects the recent changes in amplified sound and picnic pavilion rental policy. Although amplified sound and picnic pavilion rentals were restricted to, prior to 6:00 p.m., gross revenue increased. AVRC rentals also experienced a slight increase in total permits, however multiple dates are included on the same permit (i.e. AYSO). Part staff costs are calculated at Range /step 14F, $8.73.

That summer, two concerts were held at the Arroyo Vista community Park. This year, Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended condensing the concert series into one large - scale event at the end of the summer. The event was held on Labor Day and named the "Apricot Festival ", in reference to Moorpark's agricultural heritage. DISCUSSION The Moorpark Apricot Festival was held on Monday, September 3, 2001 from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Arroyo Vista Community Park.

The season ran smoothly with excellent leadership for the three senior counselors. PROGRAM SUMMARY: The focus of the program this year was to enhance the camp atmosphere through increased team spirit, positive leadership, and new activities. To manage the program, the three senior counselors were given distinct areas of responsibility. These areas included administrative duties and record keeping, activity planning and supply maintenance, and general supervision. This method of program management was effective with the assigned staff members. Camp counselors generally performed well, and turn over was less than in past years. Staff availability for the last week of camp continues to be an issue, and enrollment numbers were limited accordingly. The Counselor -in- Training program was reorganized this year, to include both Junior Counselors (ages 12 to 14) and Counselors -in Training (ages 14 to 16). Junior Counselors attended camp at a reduced rate, and Counselors -in- Training served as volunteers. Through the course of the summer, the seven participants worked a combined total of 1,139 hours. For the second summer, children were placed into one of four different color teams according to age, with two counselors managing each group. Children and counselors were consistently assigned to the same color group in order to promote a sense of team spirit and allow a better relationship to form between the counselors and children. This form of team management continues to Camp Moorpark Summary Page 2 be effective. .'h .s year, an emphasis was placed on team spirit with t-he dal -y awarding of spirit points, which were recorded on the spirit chart and totaled each Friday for the spirit award. This program is expected i=o continue and improve eac'r: season. The daily schedule remained generally consistent with previous summers. Before lunch, teams rotated between activity stations. The :our stations included crafts, games, sports, and free time. After lunch, special events, videos, and guest entertainers were scheduled. Field trips were held on Wednesdays, and included Fil?more and Western Railway, El Capitan Theatre, ilunt_n.gton. Gardens, Skating Plus, Golf N Stuff, IMAX Theater, Long :each Aq.zarium, Chuck F. Cheese's, and Movieland Wax Museum. Approximately half of the trips scheduled were located outside of Ventura County. Several parents and many counselors commented that the bus rides outside of the county were too long for some of the children. In the future, trips outside the county will be reduced. The second annual Parent's Day was held on Thursday, July 26, 2.001 at 4:30 p.m. The portable stage was set up 'n the multipurpose room for the event. Each team prepared and presented a variety of skits and songs. The program lasted approximately one hour and was well attended by parents. ATTENDANCE AND ENROLLMENT Camp enrollment numbers remained relatively consistent this year. Although the total number of participants fell slightly, average daily attendance remained the same. Attendance continues to vary greatly from day to day. In 2000, daily attendance ranged from 61 to 105 campers. This year, the range was 60 to 103. Of the 235 oarticipants, 93 (41� >) were returning campers, with 140 new enrollments. A survey is currently being conducted of the 155 non - returning participants to determine why they chose not to attend Camp Moorpark this summer. Below is a comparative summary of camp attendance. 2001 2000 1999 1998 Total Program Participants 235 250 211 233 Average Daily Attendance 83 83 86 68 FINANCIAL SUMMARY Camp continues to be financially successful.

The public can still use the parks after dusk, however, most park amenities are without lights, and the park restrooms are not open. Under the current park rental policy, the public may rent most park amenities between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. or dusk, with the exception of athletic rentals. The City allows the use of certain athletic fields until 10:00 p.m. for organized sports. Additionally, with a permit, amplified sound can be used in parks between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. or dusk, which ever occurs earlier. A $100.00 security deposit is required to obtain an amplified sound permit. Most renters requesting amplified sound permits provide music at their event, usually consisting of a disc jockey. Since implementing this policy in November 2000, the City has continued to receive complaints from residents who are impacted by the use of amplified sound. A majority of the complaints concern the noise level, particularly on weekend evenings. To assist with the development of the revised amplified sound policy, staff researched three local jurisdictions. The recommendation from Moorpark staff is consistent with the Rancho Simi and Pleasant Valley Park Districts policy for private rental Park Rental Policy Page 2 parties. Rancho Simi Park District permits amplified sound only when played in the designated amphitheater. Pleasant Valley Park District does not permit amplified sound for picnic rentals. Conejo Park District authorizes the use of amplified sound, provided the renter pays for District staff to supervise the rental. Although this policy would provide amplified sound screening, Moorpark is not able to provide or select from a similar pool of staff. To address the problems experienced with park rentals, staff proposes the following changes to the Park Rental Policy and Fee Schedule: 1. Eliminate amplified sound permits for private park rentals, including but not limited to, birthday parties, Baptisms, and baby showers. 2. Restrict amplified sound permits for those events deemed to have a community benefit at the discretion of the City. STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the Parks and Recreation Commission support staff's recommendation to revise the Park Reservation Fees and Policy as identified in this staff reoort. :1: \01naermiil \ ^: \A:im'_n \Commission Reports \2001 \pavilion rental ampl :tied sound.doc MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services' k' DATE: October 23, 2001 (Meeting of November 5, 2001) SUBJECT: Consider Skatepark Sites BACKGROUND At its September 4, 2001 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission began discussing the construction of one or more skateparks. The Agenda Report from that meeting has been attached for information (Attachment A). The Commission also explored the various types of skateparks; e.g., concrete and modular ramps. Several skateboarders spoke about their preference for a concrete skatepark and the need for two facilities: one near the College and one west of the 23 Freeway. This meeting followed the Commission's tour of three skateparks in neighboring jurisdictions. All three skateparks visited by the Commission were concrete facilities. On October 7, the Commission conducted its bi- annual tour of City parks. An objective of this past tour was the identification of potential skatepark sites. When considering potential skatepark locations, the Commission needs to take into account available space for a facility, potential parking, restrooms, proximity to residential areas, and site constraints (drainage and other topographical issues) . Additionally, there are some considerations which, while not mandatory, may be desirable, such as visibility of the location from the street for security; access to a pay phone; and easy travel access by walking, biking, or skateboarding. In consideration of the aforementioned parameters and based on input from the Commission, the following park sites are suggested for consideration: Skatepark Site Locations Page 2 Arroyo Vista Community Park - There are three potential skatepark site locations at this park: the multi purpose court; the apricot grove; and the eastern, undeveloped end of the park. Griffin _Park - There are two potential locations for a skatepark: the area adjacent to the 118 Freeway; and an area in the northern section of the park, closer to Campus Park Drive. Tierra Rejada Park - The site possibilities here include: converting one tennis court into a skatepark; using the area east of the third tennis court; site a skatepark west of the basketball court. The site locations at this park are close to residences. The remaining City parks have not been identified for consideration for the following reasons: • While Glenwood Park has potential space to site a skatepark, it is not considered a good location because it does not have a restroom facility. • Country Trail Park is not a good location; it does not have a restroom facility and lies within a flood basin. • Currently, Poindexter Park does not have the appropriate space to locate a skatepark. If in the future, the City acquires the property along Poindexter Avenue, this park may be a potential skatepark site. • Miller Park has no available space to accommodate a skatepark without impacting existing amenities. • The only available space at Peach Hill Park is currently used for soccer, and a skatepark in this location would impact the residents adjacent to the north end of the park. • Due to the lack of space and surrounding residents, Mountain Meadows Park is not a desirable location for a skatepark. • While Campus Canyon Park has potential because of its distance from residents, it lacks available space. However, one consideration would be to replace the existing baseball field at the southeast corner of the park. This move may encounter significant resistance.

It is also very close of and Villa Campesina Parks lack space and The Commission has two central decisions it needs to make in forming its recommendation to the City Council. It needs to decide an appropriate location for one or more skatepark and it needs to decide whether the skatepark should be concrete, modular, or a combination thereof. It is suggested that the Commission focus its discussion on potential skatepark locations for the November 5 meeting. It would be helpful if the Commission could identify its two or three top site choices. I will then identify any additional site information needed to narrow the selection process down and return to the Commission with additional information for its final recommendation. I have been gathering additional information on modular skateparks and plan to have ramps available for inspection at the Commission's next meeting. At that meeting, the Commission can focus on what type of facility to construct. I have also been talking to the City of South Pasadena. That City's Park and Recreation Commission recently went from designing a concrete skatepark to now considering a modular facility. In June, South Pasadena completed a bid process for a 10,500 square foot concrete skatepark and low bid was approximately $230,000, or $22.00 per square foot. This reflects more current construction costs than the information we received on the facilities the Commission visited this past summer. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Identify the two or three most desired skatepark locations. M: \MLindley,l'ARKS\.skatepark site commagd.doc ATTACHMENT MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services DATE: August 22, 2001 (Meeting of September 4, 2001) SUBJECT: Consider Skatepark Options BACKGROUND On June 4, 2001, the Commission was introduced to the topic of one or more skateparks in Moorpark. On June 27, several Commissioners participated in a tour of skateparks located in neighboring cities. The tour included facilities located in the following cities: Thousand Oaks (owned by Conejo Recreation and Parks District), Camarillo (owned by Pleasant Valley Recreation and Parks District), and Ventura. The following is a brief summary of the facilities we visited: Thousand Oaks - The skatepark is approximately 8,800 square feet and cost about $186,000 to design and build (without the $20,000 change order for drainage). The facility is fenced and locked during non operating hours. The facility is supervised when in use. Camarillo - This skatepark is approximately 16,000 square feet and cost about $200,000. The facility is fenced, although it is never locked nor supervised. (Pictures of this skatepark have been included as Attachments A, B, and C to this Report.) Ventura -This facility was considerably smaller than the other two we visited, approximately 3,000 square feet. This is one of three facilities in Ventura. It is not fenced nor supervised. The cost of this facility is unknown. Skatepark Options Page 2 From the information staff was able to gather, the City can expect to pay appropriately $20 to $25 dollars per square foot to construct a concrete skatepark and approximately $12,000 for lesion. Based on feedback from agencies that operate skateparks, a skatepark facility should be no less than 10,000 square feet and preferably closer to 15,000 square feet. The Commission is also being presented with information about modular skateparks. These facilities are comprised of steel, plastic, or wooden ramps. Today, the ramps made for modular skateparks are very durable and well constructed. A modular skatepark can cost significantly less than a concrete facility, if an appropriate concrete or asphalt slab already exists. They also present more options for reconfiguring the ramps to add variety and /or to move the ramps to an alternative location if the original location is no longer desirable. Modular Ramp Option The option for the Commission to consider is the purchase of modular ramps designed to withstand the elements and to remain outside on a permanent basis. This differs from our current skate ramps which are less expensive and less durable. In an attempt to preserve the condition of the ramps, and due to the fact that we share the multipurpose court with roller hockey, City staff breaks down the ramps and stores them at the end of the day. Based on information from one skate ramp vendor, the City should anticipate paying approximately $50,000 to equip a skatepark consisting of 9,000 square feet (a single tennis court). A facility of this size will hold approximately 9 ramps. For a facility comprised of 15,000 square feet (two tennis courts), the City should expect to pay approximately $80,000. Such a facility could hold approximately 1S ramps. (Attachment D illustrates the potential configurations of a modular skatepark.) If the City were to proceed with a modular skatepark, it may be feasible to consider two facilities: one in the west or central part of the City and one in the college area. Two or more skateparks would provide greater accessibility and hopefully encourage skaters who are using street and park hardscape surfaces to make use of the skate ramps. \ \MOR_PRI_SERV\ home_ folders \MLindley \Recreation \skatepark options commagd.doc skatepark Options Page 3 Modular Verses Concrete _Facilities In regards to advantages and disadvantages, as was already stated, some of the advantages of modular skateparks over concrete include: they cost significantly less than concrete facilities; they provide more flexibility so if different ramps become popular, the City can add them, and if in the future, skateparks lose their popularity, the concrete slab surface can be used for other purposes such as tennis or basketball. The disadvantage of a modular skatepark is that you cannot construct a bowl (or pool) for skating. Skaters often say they want a 10 foot deep bowl. This is what they see competitive skaters doing and they want to master similar skills. However, experience shows that these types of components are underutilized by local skaters because of their degree of difficulty. They tend to attract more proficient skaters on a regional bases. However, with the right modular ramps the average skater can receive a similar challenge offered by bowls. Other disadvantages include: the ramps need to be maintained regularly (i.e., tightening bolts and related minor maintenance), repainted every few years or so, and replaced every 8 to 10 years (appropriately $4,000 per ramp on average). Lastly, proficient, experienced skaters may not find modular ramps challenging enough. On the other hand, concrete facilities are more durable and they provide a greater challenge over modular parks. The need for major repairs is less, and as a result, requires less of ongoing expenditure. Skaters, especially experienced skaters, prefer concrete facilities with large ramps and deep bowls. The major disadvantage of a concrete skatepark is its initial cost and its long -term permanence in the event skating loses popularity. Also, a very challenging, state -of- the -art facility will attract experienced skaters from outside Moorpark and possibly intimidate young and less experienced skaters. Next Step If the City were to proceed with the concept of a modular skatepark, it has two options: locate the park(s) on an existing hardcourt (tennis or basketball courts) or construct a new concrete slab. Using an existing hardcourt would save the City considerable money. A concrete slab will cost approximately $7 per square foot, which equates to $84,000 for a 12,000 square foot facility. Ramps for a facility of that size would bring the \ \MOR_PRI_SERV\ home_ folders \MLindley \Recreation \skatepark options commagd.doc Skatepark Options Page 4 total cost to approximately $154,000. In comparison, a 12,000 square foot concrete skatepark would cost approximately $210,000, plus. Possible sites to consider include the multi- purpose court at AVCP (this would displace Tri Valley Roller Hockey); the single tennis court at Tierra Rejada Park; one tennis court at Miller Park; or a new slab at AVCP, Griffin Park, Glenwood Park, or Mountain Meadows Park. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Commission provide staff with feedback regarding the type of skatepark desired and potential locations. \ \NOR PRI SERV\ home `o'_ders \MIS r.d'_ey \Recreation \skatepark ootions commagd.doc ,� � ��' �� . _. � �`�" �,_ � � . 3 ,d n� ;.,: �, _�,. �. . k.,,w. �- t..

Lindley, Director of Community Services DATE: October 22, 2001 (Meeting of November 5, 2001) SUBJECT: Park Capital Improvement Plan BACKGROUND The City has not prepared a formal Park Capital Improvement Plan before. As the City undertakes larger, more complex projects, it becomes necessary to project longer -term, future expenditures and revenue. The attached draft documents are our first attempt to begin formalizing the information (Attachments A and B). As we discuss potential projects we will revise the documents to better reflect City plans. You can see from the draft Park Capital Improvement Plan, Attachment A, in the current fiscal year (FY 2001/02), the City plans to undertake $2,986,000 in capital improvements. These items have already been included in the City's approved budget, or there is an expressed commitment on the part of the City Council to undertake the expenditure, as is the case with the Aquatics Facility and AVCP Phase II. For subsequent years, I have attempted to identify potential projects. Where I am less confident about the date of the proposed improvement, I have placed the item in the 'Unspecified" column. While the Commission nor the City Council has discussed or taken action on most of the projects identified past the current fiscal year, with the exception of the aquatics facility, the document serves to assist in the planning process. Please note that I have not included the proposed skatepark in the Plan. I elected not to do so at this time, since we had not identified a site. The location of the facility may impact the funding source. Depending on the size and composition of the facility, the cost will vary. A modular skatepark of 12,000 Park Capital Improvement Plan Paec 2 square feet would cost appror,irnately 516',000. A concre facility of the same size will cost approximately $260,000. Add.i_,=ionally, the Commission may wish to consider the possibility of constructing two skatepark_s. Attachment B identifies the projected revenue in the Park Improvement Fund. As the Commission recalls, the Park Irpro ement Fund is funded by developer fees or. new residerr. ial and commercial developments. This fee is a condition of the City's QUIMBY Ordinance and is paid in -lieu of providing park land. Some development projects will be conditioned to build a park, others will be conditioned to pay a fee in -lieu of a park. The Fund is comprised cf four zones, one which funds community facilities (Community 'Lone), including AVCP. The other three zones (Zones 1, 2, and 3) support neighborhood parks. 0'= the total fees collected, traditionally, sixty percent remains in: the neighborhood zone where the development project is located, and forty percent is placed in the Community Zone. The money car. only be spent on park improvements and not on maintenance activities. As you car. see from. Attachment B, the City does not anticipate any new Par.',-, Impr-ovemenL revenue in Zone 2; no new developments are projected in that area of the Ci-y .n the near tear.. Additionally, once the City hits build -out (no new development), this source of revenue will no longer be available. Attachment C identifies the City's current fund balances in the four Park Improvement Funds. The fund balance does not include the estimated revenue for FY 2001102 identified in Attachment B. As the Commission begins to consider pa -k improverrnen-. reco.m.rendat.ions, including the proposed skatepark(s), '.t should c- onsider the Park Capital Improvement Plan and Park Improvemerit Fund. As always, the Commission's objective to iden� fy an—c recommend park improvements is a difficult one. The decisions should include a look at using the City's limited resources in a manner that allows the City to address a broad range o-I recreational needs. STAFF RECObMNDATION Receive and file.

MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services, DATE: October 23, 2001 (Meeting of November 5, 2001) SUBJECT: Parking Improvements at Miller Park BACKGROUND At a meeting of the City Council, it was requested that the Parks and Recreation Commission consider potential parking improvements at Miller Park that would help alleviate the parking situation that was experienced during the spring season. During the spring, Miller Park received a significant amount of use, primarily in regards to its softball and picnic amenities. During that period, there were a couple of times when the demand for parking exceeded the number of on -site parking spaces. Groups using the park included Moorpark High School Girls Softball Team, which used the park to play several games during the spring. Since mid summer, the park seems to be used by smaller groups, and the issue of limited parking seems to have dissipated for the most part. The City has not received complaints regarding the lack of parking at Miller Park since early summer. It's difficult to determine whether the initial use at the park was a result of the fact that it was new or if it's use will prove to be seasonal. It may be that as time has gone by and the novelty of the new park has worn off, the park is being used more by the residents in the neighborhood and is attracting less city -wide use. Currently, Miller Park has 32 on -site parking spaces, two of which are designated as handicapped spaces. The park is located on Miller Parkway, which is posted "No Stopping ". The closest streets in the area are private streets within gated residential Miller Park Parking Page 2 developments (Stagecoach Trail and Olive Street). When the park's parking lot is full, the closest legal street parking is on the south side of Peach Hill Road adjacent to Mesa Verde Middle School. The parking in that area is restricted to Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and weekends from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The attached map illustrates the layout of the area. The City's Public Works Director and Engineer have looked at the situation and have identified a feasible, but costly solution. The option proposed is that the City consider modifications to the curb line in front of, and adjacent to, Miller Park to make room for on- street parking. This could be accomplished by moving the curb over into the existing planted parkway areas and towards the sidewalk. This measure would reduce the square footage of planted parkway in front of the park. It is estimated that approximately 675 feet of parking on the curb would be created, adding approximately 5 spaces between the Miller Park driveway entrance and Olive Street, and 22 spaces between Olive Street and Peach Hill Road, for a total of 27 off -site parking spaces. This plan would also eliminate the bus turn -out. The turn -out is not currently being used; however, elimination of the turn -out would preclude a future bus stop in this area. This turn -out is possibly the only appropriate and feasible bus stop on Miller Parkway. The estimated cost to modify the curb line as proposed by the Public Works Director, is approximately $165,075. This equates to over $6,000 per parking space. Miller Park is within Zone 3 of the Park Improvement Fund. This Zone also includes Monte Vista, Peach Hill, Mountain Meadows, Tierra Rejada, Country Trail, Glenwood, and Villa Campesina parks. Currently, Zone 3 has a fund balance of approximately $78,000 and it is anticipated that it will receive an additional $140,000 in new revenue this fiscal year. In the current budget, the City will be spending $182,000 from Zone 3 for new playground equipment at Mountain Meadows Park and a number of improvements at Villa Campesina Park. Additional revenues are anticipated in fiscal year 2002/03 in the amount of $200,000. However, the Commission has identified potential expenditures for next year including new playground equipment at Tierra Rejada Park, new tot lot equipment at Glenwood and Peach Hill parks, and basketball court lights at a number of parks in Zone 3. M: \M Lind ley \PARKS\MiIler Park Parking commagd.doc Miller Park Parking Page 3 Staff did look at the feasibility of modifying the existing parking lot, but any improvements to the parking lot appeared to net very few additional spaces (two to three at the most). Miller Park was designed to serve as a neighborhood park. It was not meant to accommodate city -wide activities on a regular basis. It is not used by youth sports for organized games, but only for occasional practices. However, it appears that it is being used by an men's adult soccer league on occasional Sundays. The expense of additional parking may not be warranted for use limited purposes. For the aforementioned reasons, staff recommends that the Commission not recommend that parking modifications be made at Miller Park, at this time. Staff will continue to monitor the parking situation and report back to the Commission if demand increases in the future on a more regular basis. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommend to the City Council that the City not undertake parking modifications at Miller Park at this time. attachment M: \MLindley \NARKS \;Miller Park Parking conirnagd.doc \� C 1 1 \� i pa / - l� A / /r \ 4 9 •��• ( I � I N �* o \Ll- � of—a i� t 53 \ \ 461- htole.J USE DIAGRAM Lin F.
