ADJOURNMENT: Chair DeGuardi adjourned the meeting at 7:27 p.m. APPROVED: QUENTIN DEGUARDI, CHAIRMAN Respectfully submitted: Patty Lemcke, Administrative Secretary CITY OF MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: John Hartnett, Recreation Manager DATE: February 21, 2003 (Meeting of March 3) SUBJECT: Consider Recreation Programs and Events for FY 2003/04 DISCUSSION The Parks and Recreation Commission is being presented with a proposal by staff for FY 2003/04 recreation programs and special events. The Commission is tasked with reviewing the proposal and offering comments, suggestions, and recommendations. At this time of year, the City begins the process of developing its new budget. The recreation programs and special events directly impact the budget. Staff is again anticipating that the.City will not see any increase in its general fund revenue sources - the City's recreation programs depend primarily on general funds to operate. Therefore, we are not recommending any significant increases without consideration of soliciting funds or offsetting costs with registration fees. Special Events Based on preliminary discussions held at the staff level, it is proposed that the City continue the following special events with no significant changes: • July 3rd Fireworks Extravaganza (Independence Day) • Trick or Treat Village (Halloween) • Breakfast with Santa (Christmas Holidays) • Visits From Santa (Christmas Holiday) • Easter Egg Hunt (Easter) FY 2003/04 Programs & Events Page 2 • Apricot Festival (May) Events to be discontinued include: • Arts in the Park: This event started as the "Holiday Craft Faire" in 1993 and was held in November of each year. The event consisted of craft vendors, entertainment, attractions, and food vendors. In FY 2001/02, the name was changed to "Arts in the Park" and the City attempted to place greater emphasis on the arts by holding a teen photo contest and sidewalk chalk drawing contest. Attendance began to decrease with the change in focus. In an effort to make the event successful as an "Arts in the Park," the event was rescheduled to Labor Day in 2002/03 to change the emphasis to celebrating the arts rather than holiday shopping. Additional art elements were added and the event concluded with a concert by the Moorpark Symphony. Despite these additions and modifications, attendance has continued to decline. This past year, attendance for the entire event was only 800 participants and the City realized a net -' loss of $783. Staff recommends discontinuing this event because of the difficulty in attracting a crowd during Labor Day weekend and an inability to recover costs for this event. Events to be reinstated include: • Tree Lighting Ceremony: This popular event ran for several years and included performances by local groups, a speech by the Mayor, the tree lighting itself, refreshments, and a visit from Santa. The event was discontinued after 1997 due to the cost and lack of revenue. It is proposed that this event be reinstated, with some modifications. These include securing a larger tree and placing it on High Street, providing entertainment in cooperation with the Theatre on High Street, and running the event on the same date as the "Santa Train." New events include: • Summer Family Nights: This program would consist of several different events held on the same night each FY 2003/04 Programs & Events Page 3 week for six consecutive evenings during the summer. Activities would include skate nights, movies in the park, and concerts. Youth Camps The City's Summer, Spring, and Winter Camps continue to be successful. Each season the programs are enhanced. Camp continues to generate significant revenue above its expenses. While attendance fluctuates somewhat each season, enrollment numbers are generally strong. It is recommended that all three sessions of camp continue. The Teen Travel Camp for its first year was a success. The program was designed to provide youth ages twelve through fifteen with a constructive summer activity. Overall, 48 teens enrolled in the program. The average daily attendance was 16 teens per day. Staff anticipates that the program will grow in the future. Staff is planning to enhance the program this summer by providing both daily and weekly registration rates and sibling discounts. One new possibility for the future, is to offer a Summer Theatre Camp for youth, in cooperation with the Theatre on High Street. Staff has had preliminary discussions with the Gold Coast Players, who are the resident theatre company for Theatre on High. They have expressed an interest in offering a Theatre Camp with the City in summer, 2004. Recreation Classes The City offers a number of recreation classes designed for children, teens, and adults. We are continuously looking for new class ideas and instructors. We attempt to stay abreast of the latest trends so that we can provide classes of interest to our residents. Last year we began utilizing some of the outstanding part - time staff to instruct certain classes, in place of contract instructors. This has proven to work well and have since been able to add several new classes, including, a variety of dance classes, Kid's Night Out, and Play Days. Staff will continue to utilize part time staff when feasible. Youth and Adult Sports The City offers youth and adult leagues throughout the year in various sports areas including softball, basketball, FY 2003/04 Programs & Events Page 4 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. Staff is proposing to offer a new outdoor volleyball program for both youth and adults. This would require the construction of an outdoor volleyball court. The preferable site would be at Arroyo Vista Community Park. In addition, staff anticipates offering one new youth sports camp. Some ideas under consideration are a golf or volleyball camp. City staff is currently working with Ventura County Special Olympics to find ways to jointly offer programs for youth with special needs. Staff's goal is to continue to evaluate the feasibility of expanding our efforts to reach out to more developmentally disabled Moorpark youth through our sports program. One possible way of promoting these efforts is to co- sponsor a Regional Special Olympics Tournament in Moorpark, possibly in 2004/05. Staff has had preliminary discussions on this topic with the Special Olympics Organization. Youth Scholarships Recreation staff have discussed the possibility of offering youth scholarships to those families who can't afford the full price of recreation programs. Some cities offer these types of programs through CDBG funding or private donations. Families are required to meet certain income criteria to be eligible for scholarships. In order for the City to offer such a program, a funding source, either through a private or non - profit donation, or through the general fund, will have to be made available. RECOMMNDATION Express support for staff's FY 2003/04 recreation programs and events proposal, as outlined in this Agenda Report. CITY OF MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services DATE: February 20, 2003 (Meeting of March 3, 2003) SUBJECT: Consider Park Improvements for FY 2003/04 DISCUSSION The Commission is being asked to consider potential park improvement projects for FY 2003/04. To assist the Commission with its deliberations, staff has compiled a list of potential projects. Some of the projects have been discussed by past Commissions, some were identified by City staff, and some are items on the current list that will not be completed by the end of the fiscal year and it is recommended that they be carried over. The Commission should keep in mind that the State's budget may have an impact on the City's existing revenue - as much as $1.2 million. As *a result, many new desirable projects may be delayed - particularly General Fund projects - until more is known about the State's financial situation. FY 2003/04 Park Improvement Projects The following Park Improvement Projects are recommended for FY 2003/04. The carryover items from FY 02/03 are identified with an asterisk. ,`,MOR_PRI_SERV\ home_ folders \VlLindley \Recreation',.Park Improvements comm agda.doc CITY OF MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services DATE: February 20, 2003 (Meeting of March 3, 2003) SUBJECT: Consider Goals and Objectives for FY 2003/04 At its meeting on February 3, the Parks and Recreation Commission had an opportunity to review the approved FY 02/03 Goals and Objectives. The Commission is now being asked to develop a new list of objectives for FY 03/04, related to its recreation and parks responsibilities for consideration by the City Council. Attached to this report is the Agenda Report (Attachment A) considered by the City Council on February 5, 2003. The Report, written by the City Manager, identifies the approved FY 02/03 Goals and Objectives (in the back) and a secondary list of 37 objectives deemed to be desirable. It's important for the Commission to note that during this time of uncertainty regarding the State's budget and its potential impacts on the City, the implementation of new programs and projects may need to be delayed to a time in the future. The City is potentially looking at decreased revenues in an amount up to $1.2 million, depending on the outcome of the State's final budget. To assist the Commission in developing objectives for FY 03/04, staff has prepared a proposed list that includes FY 02/03 objectives that were not completed and, in staff's opinion, should be carried over into the new year, along with new objectives. l.`.MOR_PRI_SERV`.home folders '.MLindley'Recreation\P&R Objectives 2003.doc FY 02/03 Carrvover Objectives • Determine a location and construct a permanent Skatepark. • Install new playground equipment in both play lots at Mountain Meadows Park. • Install a playground and half -court basketball court at Villa Campesina Park. • Complete an updated OSCAR Element of the General Plan and process GPA and environmental document and update the Park Master Plan. • Plan activities to celebrate the City's 20th anniversary of incorporation.

In approving this document, the Council included a list of top ten (10) priorities, which consist of twenty -nine (29) of the ninety -three (93) identified objectives. As in past years, it is generally acknowledged that with current staff levels, there are many more objectives listed than can be reasonably expected to be accomplished in the year. In fact, many of the objectives will take several years to fully complete. A written status report on the various priorities and objectives is not included as part of this report. The City Council Monthly Report provides a status on most of these items as well as other staff work efforts. Staff will respond to specific Council questions when this matter is considered. In prior years, the proposed objectives were submitted to the City Council as part of the annual budget process and usually reviewed informally as part of the budget deliberations. Formal consideration of the objectives usually followed adoption of the budget. In 2001, the Council concurred to review the objectives prior to preparation of the budget with the purpose of having more correlation between the Council approved objectives and City Manager proposed budget. ,",; 06 City Council Agenda Report Re: Status Report on Goals and Objectives for FY 2002/2003 Page 2 January 30, 2003 (CC Meeting of February 5, 2003) The May 30, 2002, City Manager Report to the City Council presenting the proposed Goals and Objectives for FY 2002/2003 included reference to a secondary list of objectives.
