8. DISCUSSION /ACTION ITEMS:
A. Moorpark After Dark Presentation. No report or staff
recommendation.
Gwen Indermill gave a presentation reviewing the
previous nine months in which this dance has been held
on a monthly basis. Her presentation included the
results of a teen poll which was taken, and the
information was then used in the planning of the
different activities for each dance. Some
entertainment offered in addition to music and dancing
is athletics, games, prizes, food, and concession
booths.
Staff encouraged the Commission to attend, and if
possible, volunteer for the evening. Volunteer support
is essential for this event, because of the large
attendance each month.
B. Consider Location and Specifications for a City
Skatepark. Staff Recommendation: Discuss ideas for one
or more skateparks and set a date to tour neighboring
facilities.
Mary Lindley stated that the construction of a
skatepark has been an item of discussion for many
years. It was agreed by the Council and Commission at
their joint meeting that this issue should now be a
priority.
The Commission discussed different locations for the
skatepark and if one or more skateparks is desired.
Before making any recommendations, it was decided that
they conduct their tour to surrounding skateparks. The
Commission also suggested a workshop be held,
specifically to hear the input of skaters in the
community. They would then be better informed as to
what would best suit the needs of the residents.

A date for the tour will be arranged during the
upcoming week.
C. Consider Parks' Capital Improvement Projects Report.
Staff Recommendation: For Commission to discuss report
and provide comments.
Mary Lindley stated that this item was also discussed
at the recent Joint Meeting of the Council and
Commission. The proposed list being presented is meant
to be a starting point and this item will probably
take a few meetings to finalize. Mary Lindley
suggested that the Commission could begin by reviewing
the proposed list.
The Commission reviewed staff's proposed list and made
the following comments and additions:
• All Parks: Replace or install monument signs; at
designated parks, construct meeting room facilities.
• Mountain Meadows: Adding handicap access from
parking lot to ball diamond is a priority item.
• Glenwood Park: To expand out and install a parking
lot and restroom in the expanded area.
• Poindexter Park: Potential site for a skatepark;
install ballfield lighting; construct a snack bar
facility;
• Miller Park: Install ballfield lighting.
Commissioner Pflaumer suggested that the finalized CIP
list be referred to when the biannual park tours are
conducted.
Commissioner DeGuardi stated that this document should
be reviewed periodically for updates.
