9. PUBLIC HEARING:
A. Consider Chapter 2.32 of the Moorpark Municipal Code
Regarding Park and Recreation Commission. Staff
Recommendation: Discuss the duties and responsibilities
of the Parks and Recreation Commission, and identify any
recommended changes to the Municipal Code for
consideration by the City Council.
Public Speaker: Mr. Gary Lowenberg, 4218 Peach Slope
Road, Moorpark. Mr. Lowenberg is a Moorpark Planning
Commissioner and suggested that the Parks and Recreation
Commission may want to assume a new responsibility of
making recommendations to the Planning Commission on the
landscaping of new projects. He feels the Parks and
Recreation Commission is better qualified in this area,
and with the input of Allen Walter, Supervisor of
Maintenance and Operations, and staff, the knowledge and
experience of landscaping could be given to new City
projects.
The Commission agreed to wait on discussion of this
suggestion until the Planning Commission meets and votes
in favor of it. Chairman Thompson suggested that if the
Planning Commission decides to retain this duty, perhaps
Allen Walter, Supervisor of Maintenance and Operations,
could provide them a list of "preferred" trees and
shrubbery they could refer to.
The Commission concurred that they should be included in
the process of agreements and discussions with MUSD, when
a project involves "joint park use ", and they should
attend the MUSD and City Council meetings when any new
joint projects are being discussed.

the Parks & Recreation Meeting
1, 1997
The Commission reviewed and discussed Municipal Code
2.32.090, Duties and Responsibilities, items A. through
L., and Attachment "C ", Duties and Responsibilities,
numbers 1 through 17.
Ms. Lindley explained that Attachment "C" is a memorandum
from Steve Kueny to the City Council, reflecting how the
duties and responsibilities of the Parks and Recreation
Commission are currently viewed by the City, and the
memorandum is not a personal view of Mr. Kueny's.
It was agreed to eliminate the present wording of item H
of the Municipal Code, replacing with the combination of
numbers 15 and 11 of Attachment "C ", including the due
date to read March 31. Commission also agreed they would
like to become active with the City's tree and
�- landscaping programs, as stated in item J of the Code.
Chairman Thompson called a five minute recess. The time
was 9:15 p.m. The meeting was resumed at 9:23 p.m.
Comments from the Commission on Attachment "C" referred
to #6, for the Commission to be more involved in their
participation with OSCAR, and also to be more involved
with outreach committees, senior and teen programs.
Commissioner Badoud stated that he would like items in
the Municipal Code to be more specific and detailed in
description of duties and responsibilities. Commissioner
Dubreuil feels the Municipal Code should not be altered,
which would create limitations and restrictions on the
actions and recommendations of the Commission.
Chairman Thompson suggested that perhaps staff could
obtain surrounding cities municipal codes for comparison
on the specifics.
Ms. Lindley suggested for the next scheduled meeting, to
present the Commission with a report of Attachment "A"
and "C" merged into one list, since quite a few items on
Minutes of the Parks & Recreation Meeting
of December 1, 1997

each are very similar. The Commission can then take one
item at a time and make their recommendations from one
list rather than two.
MOTION: Commissioner Oberg moved to continue item 9.A until the
next scheduled meeting of January 5, 1997. Commissioner
Badoud seconded. The motion was carried 5 -0.
8. DISCUSSION /ACTION ITEMS:
A. Consider Name Change For Griffin Park. Staff
Recommendation: Make appropriate recommendation.
B. Consider Installation of a Fence at the Community Center
Park. Staff Recommendation: Make appropriate
recommendation.
MOTION: Commissioner Dubreuil moved to continue items 8.A and 8.B
until the next regularly scheduled meeting of January 5,
1997. Commissioner Parvin seconded. The motion was
carried 3 -2. Commissioners Oberg and Badoud opposed.
They may be unable to attend the January 5, 1997,
meeting.
10. ANNOUNCEMENTS /FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS:
Chairman Thompson announced the upcoming December events:
Breakfast With Santa, the Tree Lighting Ceremony which will be
televised, and Sleigh Rides at Tierra Rejada Ranch. She also
announced the mailing of the new Winter Brochure to all
Moorpark residents.
Commissioner Badoud reminded staff to place the discussion of
the cart for AVCP, and the maintenance of the softball diamond
at Campus Canyon Park on a future agenda. He also requested
a staff report on the possible use of the well water at AVCP
for other City parks.
