City of Moorpark
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council ,
FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Servic66 -
DATE: February 10, 1994 (Meeting of February 16, 1994)
SUBJECT: Consider Offer from Girl's Softball to Renovate Softball Fields at Mountain
Meadows Park.
Moorpark Girl's Softball has approached the City and has offered to make improvements to
the ballfield at the northeast end of Mountain Meadows Park. These improvements would
include skinning the infield, sinking base sleeves, constructing additional fencing, burning foul
lines, and rolling out brick dust. Girl's Softball has also indicated an interest in constructing
dug outs at the southeast field as well.
City staff would be involved as far as inspection and consulting. The Girl's Softball
organization is estimating that for the work described above, it should take only about two to
three weekends of labor by softball parents.
Staff has talked with Little League and with AYSO to determine if the proposed
improvements at Mountain Meadows Park would limit any practice fields that either group
might need. Both have indicated that with the additional space at Arroyo Vista Community
Park, practice and playing fields are not needed as much at Mountain Meadows Park.
Girl's Softball utilized Mountain Meadows Park, (the one improved field) and two ball
diamonds at Mountain Meadows School last year. The improvement of the additional field at
the park will allow the girls softball program to expand to meet the needs of the community.
This is a good example of the City's recently approved Adopt a Park Program, whereby one
group initiates and pays for field improvements which benefit both their organization and the
whole community.
RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff to work with Moorpark Girl's Softball to enable them to make the improvements
referenced to this report (as well as related improvements) at Mountain Meadows Park
consistent with City standards.
