SUBJECT: Consider Request from Moorpark Chamber of Commerce to
Waive Applicable Permit Fees and to Utilize the City's
Portable Stage and Shade Canopy for the Annual Apricot
Festival
1���
The City Council is being asked to consider a request from the
Moorpark Chamber of Commerce for a waiver of permit fees and for
'ase of the City's portable stage and shade canopy for the Annual
Apricot Festival on Saturday, June 11, 2005 at Moorpark College.
Since the event is being held at Moorpark College the only
applicable fee is $100 for the Temporary Use Permit. This fee
has been waived for co- sponsored events in the past.
DISCUSSION
For the past several years the Chamber of Commerce and the City
of Moorpark have co- sponsored a Street Fair which has now been
renamed the Apricot Festival. Under previous Agreements with the
Chamber, the City has agreed to co- sponsor the Street Fair.
The City's practice is to not rent or lend its equipment because
the rent revenues are not sufficient to cover the costs
associated with administration, as well as, repair or
replacement of items due to the additional handling and wear.
The portable stage is stored at Arroyo Vista Community Center
and is moved to the park site for city events. The City does not
have the necessary equipment to load the stage into a vehicle
for transport to another location. The shade canopy is not bulky
and can be easily transported and assembled.
Honorable City Council
May 4, 2005

Staff recommends that the shade canopy be provided for the event
at no cost and that the Temporary Use Permit fee of $100 be
waived. For the reasons outlined above, staff does not recommend
approving the loan of the portable stage for the festival unless
the Chamber can provide the necessary equipment and manpower to
properly move the stage.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the request from the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce to
waive the Temporary Use Permit Fee and allow use of the shade
canopy for the Apricot Festival on June 11, 2005.

Dear Hugh:

Assistan' +r�v ;tanager's Office
We have just sent in our permit application for the Apricot Festival and would like to request that
the fees be waived since the city is a co- sponsor on this event.
Also, in preparing for our upcoming Apricot Festival on June 11, 2005, we would like to know if
we can borrow several items from the City, which would help defray cost associated with the
event, therefore allowing us to do more advertising. We are in need of the following; the stage
and shade canopy. We appreciate your assistance and look forward to working with you, to bring
this wonderful event to Moorpark.
Sincerely,
