Commissioner Chally moved to add the list of Goals and Objectives stated in staff's report to the existing Goals and Objectives for recommendation to the City Council. Commissioner DeGuardi stated that he would like to add installation of vending machines at one or more parks to the suggested Goals and Objectives list. Mary Lindley stated that she feels this could be an agendized item for discussion at a future Commission meeting and not an objective. Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes May 6, 2002 Page 3 Commissioner DeGuardi stated that he would also like to discuss the feasibility of expanding the parking lot at Miller Park. Mary Lindley stated that she was not aware that this had become an ongoing problem again, and she would look into the matter, providing information to the Commission on the outcome. MOTION: Commissioner DeGuardi moved to incorporate staff's suggested Goals and Objectives into the existing Goals and Objectives, for FY 2002/03, for recommendation to the City Council.

Commissioner Thompson seconded. The motion was carried 5 -0. C. Consider Revisions to the Park Naming Policy and Rename Paul E. Griffin, Sr. Park. Staff Recommendation: Consider revisions to the City's Park Naming Policy and rename Griffin Park. Mary Lindley stated that Griffin Park was named after the developer of that area and that the park predates the City's incorporation. She asked the Commission to consider renaming the park, stating that the City Council would like the park renamed, and the Council also requested that the Commission review and modify the current Park Naming Policy. Commissioners Chally and Thompson both agreed that if a new name is chosen for Griffin Park, that it not �. include the words Campus or College. This would only add to the confusion that currently exists with Campus Park and Campus Canyon Park. Commissioner Catrambone stated that he would like the current name, Paul E. Griffin Park, to remain. Commissioner Thompson requested staff provide information on when the park was named and why it was named after the developer. Mary Lindley indicated that the City may not have a complete history on this park. Commissioner DeGuardi stated that he likes staff's suggestion of renaming the park College View. He also stated that when modifying the park naming policy, he would like to see that one of the existing or future parks be named as a memorial park. Mary Lindley stated that there is an area at Poindexter Park that is currently designated as a memorial area, and when Commission takes their spring park tour, they can discuss potential improvement to this area. Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes May 6, 2002 Page 5 Commissioner Catrambone stated that the American Legion is currently discussing improvements for both memorial sites in the City: the one at Poindexter Park and the one located at the corner of Los Angeles Avenue and Moorpark Road. Commissioner Thompson requested staff supply a list of potential park names for Griffin Park for the Commission's review. Commissioner Chally read his suggested change in verbiage for the existing Park Naming Policy. Chair Pflaumer stated that he likes the name College View, but requested that staff offer more names for consideration of the Commission. Commissioner Thompson stated that she would like the Commission to discuss, sometime in the future, renaming Campus Park since it is neither on a street with the name Campus, nor is it located on or near a school campus. CONSENSUS: The Commission reached a consensus to ask staff to provide additional suggestions for park names and wording for a revised Park Naming Policy for the next regularly scheduled meeting. D. Consider Park Monument Signs. Staff Recommendation: Concur with staff's recommended monument sign designs. Mary Lindley reviewed staff's proposed designs for four of the City's park monument signs and suggested locations at each park. Commissioner Catrambone stated that it is his opinion that all park signs should be consistently the same design and not differ in size and cost. Mary Lindley stated that different designs for the monument signs are being proposed because staff believes each park has its own set of characteristics Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes May 6, 2002 Page 6 and its nice when a park sign can reflect those characteristics. Chair Pflaumer stated that staff did a very good job with the proposed park signs and he agrees with each design suggested.

Staff Recommendation: Discuss the desirability of authorizing vending machines in City parks and develop a recommendation for consideration by the City Council. Mary Lindley gave a brief overview of her report and stated that this issue had been discussed by a Parks and Recreation Commission some years ago. At that time though, the vendor that had originally wanted to install the vending machines decided not to. The Commission and staff feel that Peach Hill Park is the most logical park to place a vending machine because of the heavy use by adult sports leagues. The Commission stated that when they visit Peach Hill Park on their park tour, they would decide what area of the park would be best for placement of the vending machine. MOTION: Commissioner DeGuardi moved to recommend to City Council the approval to place a drink vending machine at Peach Hill Park. Commissioner Catrambone seconded. The motion was carried 4 -0. Chair Pflaumer was absent. Minutes of the P &R Commission Meeting June 2, 2002, Park Tour Page 2 B. Consider Revisions to the Park Naming Policy and Rename Paul E Griffin Sr., Park. Staff Recommendation: Consider revisions to the City's Park Naming Policy and rename Griffin Park. Mary Lindley reviewed her report and attachments with the Commission and distributed a letter sent by Assemblyman Strickland's office opposing a name change for Griffin Park. Commissioner DeGuardi stated that he feels strongly about recommending a name change for Griffin Park, but does not have any particular name picked out at this time. Commissioner Thompson stated that she is not in favor of changing the name of Griffin Park. She does not agree to changing the name just because it was named after a developer. She also stated that if the park name does get changed, she disagrees with any name with the wording "College," "Campus ", etc. Commissioner Catrambone stated that at this time he doesn't feel strongly in favor of either side, but will agree to keeping Griffin Park's name as is, simply because there is no beneficial reason to change it at this time. Commissioner Chally stated that he feels strongly about not changing the park's name. This may set a precedent on changing names of other areas throughout the City. He feels this will make the City look bad. The Commissioners discussed changing the names of other older parks that may be appropriate at this time. MOTION: Commissioner Chally moved to recommend to City Council to retain the existing name of Griffin Park. Commissioner Catrambone seconded. The motion was carried 3 -1, with Commissioner DeGuardi opposed. Chair Pflaumer was absent. The Commission and Mary Lindley reviewed and discussed Commissioner Chally's proposed changes to the Park Naming Policy.

Poindexter Park: It was agreed to agendize the issue of establishing a more prominent site for the Veterans Memorial, either at Poindexter Park or another City park. Allen Walter stated that the existing electrical outlets at the new park gazebos will be relocated closer to the structures. 2. Country Trail Park: Mary Lindley pointed out an area of the park where a restroom facility could possibly be constructed. Space is quite limited for this facility because of the flooding factor of the park. 3. AVCP: The construction area for the new restrooms /snack bar facility was viewed and Mary Lindley gave a brief status report on the project. Also, AVCP Phase II plans were discussed and other future park developments, which may occur. 4. Tierra Rejada Park: Mary Lindley stated that when it is feasible, this would be one of the first parks listed for playground equipment replacement. She also reviewed the City's current moonbounce policy with the Commission. It was agreed that Tierra Rejada Park would also be a good location for the Veterans Memorial. 5. Mountain Meadows Park: Mary Lindley reminded the Commission that this park's play equipment is currently on the list for replacement. Commissioner Thompson suggested that the "finger park tables" that were displayed at the CPRS Conference this year would be a good addition at this park. 5. Minutes of the P &R Commission Meeting June 2, 2002, Park Tour Page 4 6. Peach Hill Park: The Commission and staff discussed where to place the proposed vending machine, and it was decided to recommend the east wall of the restroom facility. Mary Lindley stated that re- roofing the restroom facilities at the parks is a maintenance issue that will have to be addressed in the near future. 7. Griffin Park: Commissioner Thompson stated that she feels Griffin Park could be a good site for the proposed Skatepark. Mary Lindley explained to the Commission that staff is still occasionally dealing with neighborhood complaints resulting from rentals using amplified sound, even though amplified sound is no longer permitted at the parks with a private rental. 8. Community Center Park: Mary Lindley stated that the play equipment is still scheduled for installation, but there has been a delay due to clarification needed on the specifications of the pour -in -place surfacing.

SSO AGENDA REPORT PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION CITY OF MOORPARK TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: John Hartnett, Recreation Superintendent DATE: July 23, 2002 SUBJECT: Quarterly Report on Recreation Programming Spring Qyarter. April- -Tune 2002 This report serves as a review of the recreation programs and facility rentals for the spring quarter of 2002 including events. The attached illustrates the comparison from season to season and year to year from Spring 1998 to the present. SPRING EVENTS Easter Egg Hunt Day and Date: Saturday, March 30, 2002 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Location: Arroyo Vista Community Park Event/Activity Features: In addition to egg hunts for ages two to twelve, the event featured special attractions including pony rides, a giant slide, a jolly jump, face painting, and carnival games. Photos with the Faster Bunny was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Moorpark. Revenue increased significantly this year, primarily due to a change in special attraction arrangements. In the past, attraction vendors have paid a small fee to the City to participate in the event. The attraction vendors then collected and retained all fees from the public for use of the attractions. This year, the City paid a rental fee to the attraction companies and sold tickets to the public for use of the attractions. By doing so, the City was able to retain all revenue from the special attractions. The addition of carnival games to this event, as well as an increase in attendance, also contributed to the increase in revenue.

With the continued success in the tot sports classes, staff felt that adding five - year -olds to the program would increase the registration numbers while still serving the core basketball population.

One factor that may have contributed to this change is a general increase in the number of reservations made on each permit. Additionally, park revenue was affected by the addition of two tournaments this year. The additional tournaments also resulted in increased staff costs. Staff costs for facility rentals decreased as a result of most facility rentals occuring during regular center hours, which nearly eliminated the need for additional staffing.

It was initially conceived in an effort to offer a community event on Labor Day. In FY 02/03 this event will be moved to late Spring since apricot season is in May and June. Youth Camps The City's Summer, Spring, and Winter Camps will continue in FY 02/03. Additionally, the Teen Travel Camp, which had a successful first year, will be offered again. Recreation Classes The City offers a variety of recreation classes designed for children, teens, and adults. It is always a challenge to find instructors able to provide instruction on topics of interest to residents. Staff regularly strives to identify new popular trends from which to create new classes. No changes are planned in this area. Youth and Adult Sports The City offers youth and adult leagues throughout the year in various sports including softball, basketball, tennis, and volleyball. Adult leagues are comprised of separate men's and women's leagues as well as coed. We also offer youth sports camps designed to teach kids the finer skills of their chosen sport. In FY 02/03, staff will be focusing on expanding its youth sports camp program. Additionally, we will be exploring the feasibility of working with a men's adult soccer league to coordinate competitive games among Moorpark teams. No other changes are scheduled. In addition to our typical youth sports program, staff is currently working with Ventura County Special Olympics to jointly offer programs for youth with special needs. This effort will initiate therapeutic recreation in Moorpark. ."% Parks and Recreation Commission September 3, 2002 Page 3 Park Improvements AVCP: Complete Phase II- Grading, Irrigation, Seeding Tennis Court Pavilion Upgrade Tennis Court Timers Community Aquatic Facility (on hold) Poindexter: Gazebo Picnic Tables Mountain Meadows: Replace Playground Equipment Replace Monument Sign Glenwood: Stand Alone Play Equipment & ADA Surfacing Villa Campesina Small Play Lot with Equipment Half -Court Basketball Monument Sign Peach Hill: Stand Alone Play Equipment Miller: Upgrade Tennis Court Timers Campus: Replace Monument Sign Tierra Rejada: Replace Monument Sign and add a second sign Recommendation Receive and file. CITY OF MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: John Hartnett, Recreation Superintendent . DATE: August 27, 2002 (Meeting of September 3, 2002) SUBJECT: Consider Request From Tri Valley Roller Hockey for Site Improvement at Arroyo Vista Community Park BACKGROUND Tri Valley Roller Hockey League is a non profit organization which operates youth and adult roller hockey leagues at Arroyo Vista Community Park. The League has a fifty -six month (four years and eight months) License Agreement with the City. The Agreement expires in December 31, 2006. The Agreement allows Tri Valley the right to use the multi- purpose court at AVCP during approved hours between 3 p.m. and dusk on weekdays and a maximum of seven hours on weekends. As compensation for the license, Tri- Valley pays a fee of fifteen percent(15o)of gross revenue it receives from league fees, clinics, and other activities permitted under the Agreement. Additionally, the League has been granted permission to make certain site improvements at its own cost. Those improvements have included the installation of the chain link fence, baseboards, and concrete players' box. In the past month, the City has also given permission to Tri - Valley to raise the baseboards two -feet as well as paint them and enclose the players box with chain link fence and windscreen material. The League has also approached the City with a request to install a specific Vynasil coating made for roller hockey use on top of the existing concrete surface. The purpose is to improve the cosmetic appearance and provide a smoother surface for the player puck to travel. In addition to the City outdoor courts, Vynasil is currently used on tennis courts, basketball courts, handball courts, and roller hockey leagues all over California Tri Valley Roller Hockey Request Page 2 ,,"% r.I and other states. The difference between the Vynasil coating used on the City's existing outdoor sports courts and the proposed coating for the roller hockey court is the fine silica sand. For the City's purpose, all coating contains silica sand, which insures that the courts maintain optimum traction. The coating requested by Tri Valley has two top coats that do not contain sand, making it a smoother surface for roller hockey but still providing some traction for other uses. It comes in various colors and Tri- Valley has selected a light blue to match thg existing facilities. All the work would be performed by the League, at the League's expense, and consistent with City standards. In submitting the request, Tri Valley asked that no food or drink be allowed on the court and that staff be more delicate in loading and un- loading the portable skateboard ramps as not to scratch the surface. Staff has communicated to Tri- Valley that the multi - purpose court is used for many other activities during the year, including skateboarding, teen dances, special event vendors, summer camp play, and high school PE programs. Some of these activities involve consumption of food and drink on the court. Also, the skateboard ramps are large and cumbersome and sometimes difficult to.move. Tri Valley has been told that these activities will continue as usual and there is no guarantee that some minor repairs may not be needed, as a result of these activities. Some other concerns were whether the surface would be safe for other uses, especially if liquids such as water or soda were spilled and would the surface hold up or need constant maintenance. Another concern is if the primary use of the court changes in the future (ex: outdoor basketball court), what steps would need to be taken to modify the surface. Staff contacted The California Surfacing Co., who specializes in court coatings, to discuss these issues. California Surfacing indicated that the Vynasil court would be safe for multi -uses such as the ones indicated above and that liquid spills are absorbed into the surface and do not create slick spots. It was also stated that the surface can be generally maintained with power washing and, if needed, touch up paint. Depending on the amount of use, the court might need to be re- painted every two or three years (similar to tennis courts). In the future, if the primary use of the court were to change from roller hockey to another sport (ex: basketball), the court could be re- surfaced with two new r 1-4. Tri Valley Roller Hockey Request Page 3 coats of Vynasil containing silica sand to provide ideal traction. Staff also visited the City of Hermosa Beach, who has a Vynasil roller hockey court. After inspecting this court staff spoke with Hermosa Beach recreation and maintenance personnel. They indicated that they were very pleased with the Vynasil coating. It has held up well, with no chipping or cracking despite a lot of use. It is very safe and conducive to multiple uses. Based on the input from California Surfacing and the City of Hermosa Beach, staff feels that it would be a safe surface for a number of uses and appropriate for the City's multi- purpose court. RECOMMMATION Concur with the request by Tri Valley Roller Hockey League to install Vynasil coating on the concrete surface at the AVCP multi - purpose court at its own expense and consistent with City specifications, contingent upon Tri Valley agreeing to maintain the surface and accepting the fact that other uses of the court may result in additional wear and tear. CITY OF MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: John Hartnett, Recreation Superintendent DATE: August 27, 2002 (Meeting of September 3, 2002) SUBJECT: Select a Bocce Ball Court Site Location Ad Hoc Committee BACKGROUND The Senior Advisory Committee has expressed an interest for some time now in installing two Bocce Ball courts at an outdoor location in Moorpark. Staff would like to take a pro- active approach in getting this potential project off the ground. The first step in this process is to identify an ideal location for the courts at one of the City's parks. The Advisory Committee was recently considering some land north of the City Hall Annex as a possible site. Staff recently investigated the property, which is partly owned by the school district, to determine whether it would be a good place io install Bocce Ball courts. This location, although in close proximity to the Senior Center, was not determined to be an ideal spot. Noise from vehicles, access to the location, lack of shade, and lack of restroom facilities on weekends were determining factors in ruling out this property. Another potential location is at Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP). A Bocce Ball Court was identified as a possible amenity in the tentative plans for the Phase II project. Again, staff does not recommend this location, due to the enormous amount of youth activities that take place at AVCP throughout the year, which would not be conducive to a serene, semi - private environment for the seniors. In the past month, some other park locations have been mentioned as potential Bocce Ball sites. These include Tierra Rejada, Mountain Meadows, and Paul E.Griffin parks. In addition, the Advisory Committee has mentioned Peach Hill Park as another potential site. Staff feel that it would be timely to investigate these other parks as feasible locations for Bocce Ball courts. We are recommending that one member each from the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Senior Advisory Committee be selected to form an ad- hoc committee to work with staff and evaluate potential locations that have been identified. The task of the ad -hoc committee would be to select the best possible site for Bocce Ball courts, taking into consideration the other activities at the location, logistics of the site which might impact cost for installation, and availability to the senior population. The ad -hoc committee's recommendation would then be reviewed by the Senior Advisory Commission and forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Commission for approval. The ad -hoc committee members need to be able to meet on a weekday, prior to 5 p.m. It will probably take the committee two meetings to develop a site recommendation. STAFF RECOhMNDATION Select a Commissioner to serve on the Bocce Ball Court Site Location Ad -Hoc Committee. '"N CITY OF MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services DATE: August 22, 2002 (September 3, 2002 Meeting) SUBJECT: Consider Facility Rental Fee for Youth Sports Organizations Discussion On August 21, 2002, the City Council requested that the Parks and Recreation Commission consider a rental fee reduction for Moorpark youth sports organizations. The action by the Council was taken in response to a request made by Moorpark AYSO. The City rents its facilities to the public. Attached is the current rental fee schedule which was approved in 1999 by the City Council. The City has not revised or adjusted its facility rental fee schedule since that date. As you can see, Moorpark non - profit groups, which include youth sports organizations, are included in Group 2. The standard rate for Group 2 rentals consisting of up to 50 attendees (typical size for youth sports groups) is $30.00 an hour for a room at either Arroyo Vista Recreation Center or the Community Center. In reviewing the facility rental fee schedule, the Council suggested that staff look at the fees charged by Moorpark College. The College allows the public to rent various indoor and outdoor amenities. Like the City, it has rental group categories: Group 1 and Group 2. The City's various youth sports groups, such as AYSO, would qualify in the Group 1 category. The fee to rent a small classroom is as follows: Filing Fee $10.00 Small Room - $12.50/hr (2 hr minimum) $25.00 Maint. Surcharge — 10% $ 3.50— 10% $ 3.50 Total $38.50/2 hrs Rental participants at the College must pay the regular parking fee on weekdays — there is no parking fee on weekends. In summary, the two -hour rental fee at Moorpark College is $38.50. The rental fee for any one room at AVRC or the Community Center for a two -hour period is $60.00. Moorpark Unified School District was also contacted about their rental rates to local non- profit groups. Currently, the District charges non - profits $14.66 per hour, with a two -hour Parks and Recreation Commission September 3, 202 Page 2 minimum and a $25 processing fee. They anticipate a fee increase to $22.00 per hour, with a two -hour minimum and a $35.00 processing fee. As a result, a youth sports group can anticipate paying $57.00 for a two hour rental. Staff proposes reducing the rental fee charged to Moorpark youth sports groups by fifty percent during normal business hours. If adopted, the fee would be $15.00 per hour for a group of up to 50 people, with no additional fees unless the group required set -up or other special arrangements. In the event a Moorpark youth sports organization wishes to rent a room during non - business hours, the current rate of $30.00 would be charged in order to cover staff time and utilities. Youth sports groups rarely, if ever, request rental time outside of the City's normal business hours. Recommendation Recommend to the City Council that the facility rental rate charged to Moorpark youth sports groups be reduced by fifty percent during normal business hours. \\Mor —Pri_serv\ home _folders\MLindley\Facilities \facility Rental fee commagd.doc FEE SCHEDULE FOR ARRO'C 0 VISTA RECREATION CENTER AND MOORPARK COMMUNITY CENTER Fee schedule listed is per hour, and based on the number of people: # of People Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Groups 4 Group 5 1 - 50 No Charge $30 $40 $50 $60 51-100 $40 $50 $60 $70 101-150 $50 $60 $70 •$80 151-200 $60 $70 $80 $90 200+ $70 $80 $90 $100 Kitchen No Charge $10 $20 $30 $40 Direct Cost Fees: Direct Cost Fees are calculated hourly for after hours rentals or for additional staff as needed: Group 1, no charge; Groups 2 & 3, $18; Groups 4 & 5, $20.
