Staff Recommendation: That the Commission consider Packer Football's request to install and use semi permanent lights on the football practice field at AVCP and provide a recommendation. Public Speaker: Douglas Shoop, President of Moorpark Packer's Youth Football, spoke on behalf of the football league. Mr. Shoop gave a brief summary of the type of lighting that is currently being used. He explained that since they moved their field from the old Moorpark High School, they have had to rent the lights for their practices, and the annual cost has risen from $2,700 to $5,100. Packer Football would like to purchase portable lighting at approximately $10,500, that could be mounted on pole fixtures at the beginning of their season and taken down, if necessary, at the end. Packer Football has requested the City contribute to the cost of this project. The Commission discussed the electrical wiring aspect of the project with Mr. Shoop, and made suggestions as to possible ways to achieve satisfactory results by placing the wiring underground. They also discussed Packer's current available funds, and perhaps requesting a loan from the City. The Commission agreed they would need additional time to consider the placement of the lights in reference to the neighboring homes, their recommendation to Council on funding from the City, and a final decision on the wiring. MOTION: Commissioner Pflaumer moved to continue this item until the next regularly scheduled meeting on April 5, 1999. Commissioner Catrambone seconded. The motion was carried 3 -0. Commissioner Thompson and Chair Dubreuil were absent. r' P &R Commission Minutes March 1, 1999 Page 3 B. Consider Recreation Programs and Special Events for FY 1999/00. Staff Recommendation: Approve recreation programs and events for FY 1999/00 as outlined in the agenda report. Mary Lindley and Shelly Shellabarger gave an overview of the current City programs and events, and what staff is proposing differently for next year. Ms. Shellabarger stated that the teen programs will be targeted for middle school age rather than high school, hoping this will attract a greater number of participants. She feels that in the past, the teen programs were designed more for high school ages, and attendance has been poor. Commissioner Catrambone suggested staff contact the Senior Center for volunteers to work the events. This would help cut back on expenditures needed for part time staff. Commissioner Pflaumer inquired about staff dropping all the teen trips except the ski trips. Ms. Shellabarger explained the trips were being dropped due to no sign -ups, or so few, on all trips offered, except the ski trips, which tend to sell out. The teen sports camps were also discussed. MOTION: Commissioner Catrambone moved to approve staff's recommended programs and events for FY 1999/00. Commissioner Pflaumer seconded. The motion was carried 3 -0. Commissioner Thompson and Chair Dubreuil were absent. C. Consider FY 1999/00 Goals and Objectives. Staff Recommendation: Provide a list of park and recreation related Goals and Objectives for FY 1999/00 for Council consideration. Ms. Lindley reviewed staff's suggested Goals and Objectives with the Commission, and explained they could either add or delete items as they chose.
