Vice Chair Thompson stated that she likes the idea of Country Trail Park
for a dog park but would like to see the area fenced first. Also, there would
be inadequate parking if a dog park was placed at this location, and
suggested designated parking along the street be arranged. She inquired
if the City owned any property east and adjacent to Glenwood Park, which
might also be an option.
Commissioner Ellis requested from staff a list of City properties not
currently being utilized. Then the Commission and staff could review other
options other than AVCP and Country Trail Park. He also stated that if
Country Trail Park is under utilized, then possibly it should be turned into a
permanent dog park rather than just temporarily, as stated in staffs report.
Chair Pflaumer stated that he feels Country Trail Park is too isolated to be
designated as a dog park for the community and AVCP is overly impacted
already. He also stated that if Country Trail Park is chosen for the dog
park, he agrees that it would need to be fenced.
Commissioner Groff stated that he likes the idea of Country Trail Park for
the dog park, but also feels it would need to be fenced, and street parking
would have to be arranged.
Commissioner Newton stated that she's also in favor of Country Trail
Park, but it would need to be fenced, as well as street parking being
established.
There was one speaker, Ms. Elizabeth Martinez, who stated that she
works for AECOM Environment and was a consultant for the City of
Camarillo. She gathered statistics on sites for the location of a dog park.
The Commission concurred to bring back this item for discussion after the
Spring Park Tour is conducted.
C. Consider Date for Spring Park Tour. Staff Recommendation: Select a date
and time in March to conduct the spring park tour.
The Spring Park Tour was scheduled for March 22, 2009, at 10:00 a.m.

CITY OF MOORPARK
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Parks & Recreation Commission
FROM: Stephanie Shaw, Recreation Supervisor
DATE: March 9, 2009 (Meeting of March 22, 2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Staff Proposal for 3rd of July Fireworks Extravaganza
BACKGROUND
Since 1997, the City of Moorpark has sponsored the 3rd of July Fireworks Extravaganza
at the Arroyo Vista Community Park. This annual Independence Day celebration
features live entertainment, vendors, and an aerial fireworks display. Each year the
event attracts over 10,000 people.
DISCUSSION
The 2009 Fireworks Extravaganza will be held on Friday, July 3 at the Arroyo Vista
Community Park. Staff plans to close the park to the general public until the gates open
for the event at 3:45 p.m. The event will officially kick off at 4:00 p.m. The event will
conclude at approximately 9:45 p.m., after the fireworks display and feature band
encore.
In 2008, the Fireworks Extravaganza was enhanced for the City's 259" Anniversary
Celebration. With the conclusion of the City's 25th anniversary celebration in December,
the scope of this year's event will be reduced. Recommended activities for the
Fireworks Extravaganza this year include live entertainment, the presentation of the
American Flag, attractions, picnic games, vendors, and the aerial fireworks display.
These recommendations are detailed as follows.
Last year's entertainment featured Breakaway and the Hodads. This year, staff is
recommending the Daddy-0's as the opening band and securing the Hodads again as
the feature band. The Daddy-O's is a fun rock and roll band that plays a variety of oldies
and classic hits. The Hodads are a high-energy and versatile party band. Their
repertoire includes hits from the 80's, top 40 contemporary, 50's sock hop, beach party,
swing, and more. They are also the band that was featured at the first Fireworks

Honorable Parks and Recreation Commission, March 22, 2009 -2 -
Extravaganza at Arroyo Vista Park. They have also performed for clients such as the
Las Vegas Convention Authority, Pepsi, Toshiba, and the Muscular Dystrophy
Association. The have appeared with top bands including the Beach Boys, Kool and the
Gang, and Vince Gill.
During the intermission between bands a variety of activities will be scheduled. The
Flag will be presented by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department again this year.
Other entertainment during this time may include the winning band from the City's Battle
of the Bands event, tug-o-war and other picnic game contests, and entertainment by
local groups.
Attractions and games will operate as they have in the past. Attractions will be provided
and run by local attraction companies. These companies will pay a flat fee to the City to
participate. Attractions this year will include bounce tents, slides, obstacle courses, a
laser runner, and a climbing wall. Picnic games will be run by City staff with volunteer
assistance. Games will include tug-o-war, relay races, hula-hoop contests, and other
family-oriented activities.
Once again, the majority of vendors participating in the event will be food vendors. Staff
recommends offering two food courts, which has worked well for the past several years.
Each food court will feature between six and eight food vendors. Other vendors that are
expected to attend include local organizations which will distribute or sell items such as
flags, balloons, and glow necklaces.
Staff received proposals from the top two fireworks providers in California, Zambelli and
Pyrospectaculars. Zambelli offered a much larger package than Pyrospectaculars.
Zambelli's fireworks display this year will include over 800 shells. Staff is also working
with Zambelli to ensure better coordination between the music and the display as well
as the elimination of errors in the firing of any shells.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Commission support the staff proposed outline for the 2009
3rd of July Fireworks Extravaganza.

ITEM 5: 4
CITY OF MOORPARK
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA
TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Stephanie Shaw, Recreation Supervisor
DATE: February 18, 2009 (Meeting of March 22, 2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Recreation Programs and Events for FY 2009/10
Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Commission is being presented with a proposal by staff for
FY 2009/10 recreation programs. 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. Recreation programs
directly impact the budget. Staff is 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 and user fees to operate.
In this year's report we have included, for informational purposes, programs and
activities for teens. While teen programs fall under the advisory responsibility of the
Teen Council and not the Parks and Recreation Commission, it is beneficial for the
Parks and Recreation Commission to see the broad spectrum of recreation activities
available to Moorpark residents.
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:
• Easter Egg Hunt (Easter)
• Moorpark Arts Festival (April)
• Day in the Park (May)
• July 3rd Fireworks Extravaganza (Independence Day)
• Trick or Treat Village (Halloween)
• Visits from Santa (December)

In 2007 and 2008, the City held annual Arbor Day events. Due to budget constraints,
funding was eliminated for the 2009 event. However, hosting an Arbor Day event is a
requirement for Tree City USA standing. Therefore, this year's event was held, but with
a much smaller scope. The event took place on Arbor Day and met the qualifications for
the City to maintain its Tree City USA standing. It is proposed that the event continue in
a similar fashion in FY 2009/10.
In 2008, the City celebrated its 25th anniversary of incorporation. Festivities were
incorporated into the various special events throughout the year to celebrate the
anniversary. Additionally, many promotional items such as commemorative pins,
Frisbees, key tabs, pedometers, water color sets, and water bottles were distributed to
the public. Festivities for the anniversary were planned and scheduled only for the
calendar year 2008, and did not continue into 2009.
Recreation Classes
The City offers a variety of recreation classes for participants of all ages. The
Recreation Division is proactive in seeking new class ideas and contract instructors.
Over the course of the current fiscal year a variety of new programs have been offered,
including Toddler Time, Preschool Spanish, Zumba, Bowling 101, Teen Chefs, and
Mommy & Me art programs. Recreation classes continue to be a program area that
generates a small amount of net revenue and is not subsidized by the general fund.
The Arroyo Vista Recreation Center expansion was completed in September of 2008,
providing additional space for recreation programs. With the expansion, the well-
established Away We Grow Preschool program was relocated to the new classroom,
making the existing activity room available for more morning parent-and-me classes.
The new Toddler Time program is also held in the activity room. The expanded space
will also allow staff to expand the number of on-site specialty camps offered in the
summer of 2009.
While the variety and number of classes offered by the Recreation Division is fluid and
changes on a seasonal basis, staff is not recommending any changes in the manner in
which classes are managed.
Day Camp
The summer session of Camp Moorpark ran smoothly in 2008. Although staff received
positive feedback from parents and campers, attendance declined in 2008. Average
daily attendance fell from 120 to 89 and total participants fell from 305 to 281. Possible
factors for the decline in enrollment may include the state of the economy, a reduced
need for child care, the 15% increase in camp fees from 2007 to 2008, or the need to
offer a more specialized program. Despite the decline in enrollment, the summer
program realized a net profit.

Currently, Camp Moorpark serves youth ages 5 through 13. The program includes two
bus trips and one walking trip per week. Parents of the younger age group (typically 5-7
year-olds) have expressed an interest in an on-site only camp, and parents of the older
age group (those age 10 and up) are interested in a more active travel camp. Other
agencies, such as the YMCA, offer a variety of different camps for parents to choose
from.
In order to offer a better quality, more specialized, and more competitive day camp
program, staff is proposing that Camp Moorpark be reorganized to provide more age-
appropriate activities. Staff proposes separating the program into three camps: Mini
Camp Moorpark for ages 4 3/4-7, Camp Moorpark for ages 6-11, and Adventure Camp
Moorpark for ages 10-14. Mini Camp would include on-site only activities planned
specifically for that age group. Adventure Camp would include four bus trips and one
walking trip per week. Camp Moorpark would continue to operate in the same manner
that is does currently.
Additional costs for operating the program in the proposed fashion would be minimized
by more efficiently using resources and scheduling buses with maximum efficiency.
Currently, Camp Moorpark can serve up to 130 campers. At maximum capacity,
resources are used efficiently. However, when attendance falls, overhead and staffing
costs increase. An example is bus costs for field trips. Each bus has a maximum
capacity of 84 people (including campers and staff). If more than 75 campers enroll for a
trip day, two buses are required for the trip. Therefore, at 120 campers, buses are near
capacity and used efficiently. However, at 89 campers (the program's average from last
year), buses are only at about half-capacity, increasing the cost of the bus per camper.
It is anticipated that offering more specialized camps will increase interest and
enrollment in the program. Additionally, bus scheduling will be shared on days when
both camps are taking field trips, reducing bus costs.
Attendance caps for the proposed programs would be established based on bus
capacity and efficient use of staff. Staff proposes setting attendance caps as follows:
Adventure Camp: 74; Camp Moorpark: 74 on trip days, 90 on on-site days; Mini Camp:
30. This would allow up to 178 children to be served by the program. A minimum
enrollment would also be established to insure that the programs are covering their
costs. Staff calculates that a minimum enrollment of 30 campers per day would be
needed for the Adventure Camp to cover its costs.
The City also offers Camp Moorpark during MUSD winter and spring breaks to
accommodate child care needs and provide positive activities for children. Due to the
smaller scale of these sessions, staff recommends continuing the spring and winter
camp programs, with the elimination of field trips during these sessions. Most
participants during these sessions are those in need of child care, and consequently

Honorable Parks and Recreation Commission
March 22, 2009

enrollment is much lower than during the summer session. This lower enrollment is
generally not sufficient to cover transportation costs for trips.
In the summer of 2008, a variety of specialty camps were also offered. Programs last
year included Lego engineering camp, Kindercamp, soccer camps, basketball camp,
theater camps, and art camps. The goal is to attract campers who do not typically
attend a traditional day camp program. It is recommended that the Recreation Division
continue to offer a wide variety of specialty camps in FY 2009/10.
Youth and Adult Sports
The City offers youth and adult sports leagues throughout the year. Currently, leagues
offered for adults include men's and coed softball, basketball, and coed and men's
soccer. Youth are offered a coed basketball league.
Staff is not proposing any major changes to the adult softball, basketball, or soccer
leagues. As Moorpark is a highly sports-oriented community, staff is recommending
developing and implementing adult volleyball and flag football leagues next fiscal year.
Staff is also recommending that the City begin hosting SCMAF tournaments, primarily
for softball. Hosting tournaments will provide a new revenue source and promote
interest in the City's sports leagues.
The Youth Basketball league continues to be popular. In prior years, staff had difficulty
recruiting and screening enough volunteer coaches. Frequently, City staff was
scheduled to coach teams when volunteers could not be found, increasing program
costs. Over the course of the past year, staff has developed new systems for securing
and screening youth basketball coaches. For the past three seasons, enough coaches
have been secured for all league divisions. Additionally, in the past, securing
dependable referees had been difficult. The City trained recreation leaders to officiate
the youth league, eliminating the need to recruit and contract referees for the league.
Staff is not proposing any major changes for the spring, summer, or fall seasons of the
Youth Basketball league. For the past several years, the winter season has only been
offered for the younger age divisions. This has been to prevent competing with
Moorpark Basketball Association, a competitive league that runs from December
through February. Due to a large number of requests from the public to offer our
recreational league for all divisions in the winter, staff is recommending researching the
feasibility of doing so.
Last fall, the Recreation Division offered local youth the opportunity to participate in the
Pepsi® NFL Punt, Pass, and Kick contest. The program was sponsored jointly by the
City and Moorpark Packer Football. Staff recommends offering more of these special
events for youth, such as the Hershey® Track and Field Competition and the Pepsi®
Pitch, Hit, and Run competition.

Youth Scholarship Program
For the past six years, the City has sponsored a Youth Scholarship Program. This
program was created to assist low-income families with children who wish to participate
in recreation programs. The program is currently applicable to all youth recreation
programs, with the exception of special events. The Youth Scholarship Program is self-
funded through donations and fundraising activities.
Over the past year staff has increased promotion of the Scholarship Program through
methods such as postings on the City's electronic marquees and a full page ad in the
winter recreation guide. Staff recommends continuing to offer the Youth Scholarship
Program with no major changes.
Healthy Living Program
In FY 2007/08, the City implemented a Healthy Living program. Staff identified four core
components for a healthy life: mental and emotional health, physical fitness, social
health, and nutrition. Each of these core components has a corresponding logo and the
appropriate logo is used in the quarterly recreation guide to identify each program's
primary healthy attribute. The Recreation Division continues to research, develop, and
implement programs with an emphasis on fun, healthy living, and physical fitness.
Teen Programs
The Recreation Division currently offers a variety of programs for teens, including:
• Friday Night Fever: Monthly dances for middle school students held at AVRC.
Includes disc jockey and dancing, special attractions, and food booth.
• Friday Night Frenzy: Monthly teen night for middle school students held at AVRC.
Includes video games, movies, contests, and prizes.
• Hot Spot: Tuesday/Thursday drop in program for teens held at Moorpark
Community Center. Includes internet access, video games, ping pong, board
games, and more.
• Band Jams: Quarterly events for teens at AVRC. Various local bands perform
during the event.
In addition to the recurring teen activities, The Battle of the Bands event is being
reinstated this year. The event will be held on June 20, 2009, at the High Street Arts
Center. Teen bands will apply to compete at the event. Six bands will be selected to
play and be judged by a local panel of experts.
This year also includes a new teen event developed by the Teen Council. The first
annual Moorpark X Games will be held on May 30, 2009, at Arroyo Vista Park. Teams
of teens will register to compete in activities such as a climbing wall, extreme obstacle
course, and basketball.

' FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Parks, Recreation & Community Services Director
DATE: March 13, 2009 (Meeting of March 22, 2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Fiscal Year 2009/10 Objectives
DISCUSSION
Each year, the City Council adopts a set of Goals and Objectives. The Objectives are
grouped by an estimated timeline: 0 — 2 years, 2 —5 years, and 5+ years. At the front of
each Objective are initials noting the funding status: "F" — meaning funded, "NF" — not
funded, and "SE" — staff effort, not requiring funding. A number of the approved
Objectives fall within the Parks and Recreation Commission's area of responsibility. A
full list of the City Council's FY 2008/09 Goals and Objectives is available on the City's
website. For the purpose of this report, the discussion will be limited to the objectives
