PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: January 29, 2015 (Meeting of March 21, 2015)
SUBJECT: Consider Parks and Facilities Capital Improvement Program
DISCUSSION
A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a long-range plan that will ultimately outline
each individual capital improvement project and potential funding source. CIP's are also
used to prioritize staff time and project implementation. The Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department is in the process of preparing its first CIP document.
The attached is a list of.CIP projects that are planned for the City's parks and Arroyo
Vista Recreation Center (AVRC). Staff is requesting that the Commission review the list
of CIP projects, make recommendations regarding which projects should be a priority,
and identify any potential projects or improvements that may not be listed.
The Commission's responsibilities are generally limited to the parks. However, due to
the fact that AVRC is an integral component of Arroyo Vista Community Park, it has
been included in the attached list. It should be noted that the final CIP that will be
presented to the City Council will include all City owned properties and areas of
responsibility, such as City Hall and the Library, the Police Services Center, the
Moorpark Public Services Facility, the High Street Arts Center, and the Ruben Castro
Human Services Center, as well as the Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMD's),
which include median islands and streetscapes at varying locations throughout the City,
and all City owned open-space properties. The entire list is extensive and thus
recommendations from the Parks Commission and City Council are needed to prioritize
staffs efforts.
