Patty And= son Administrative Assistant II Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department ITEM 8.A PARKS AND RECREATION COMMSSION AGENDA REPORT TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director DATE: October 28, 2015 (P&R Commission Meeting of 11/2/15) SUBJECT: Consider Update on City's Water Conservation Efforts BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to update the Parks and Recreation Commission on the efforts made by staff regarding the current drought and the various action items that have been implemented following the City Council's July 1, 2015, approval of the Drought Action Plan. The winter of 2015 has now been documented as the driest winter in California on record. On April 1, 2015, Governor Brown signed Executive Order B-29-15 ("Order") which called for the first ever statewide mandatory water reductions. The Order directs mandatory water reductions of 25% statewide using 2013 water use as a baseline for reduction. In addition, the Order contains several other provisions that also impact City operations directly, including a statewide requirement to remove 50 million square feet of lawn and replace it with drought tolerant landscaping, and a prohibition on the use of potable water to irrigate ornamental turf in public street medians. On May 6, 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board ("SWRCB") adopted Emergency Regulations designed to carry out the requirements of the Order. The Emergency Regulations set up tiers of water reduction under which the various urban water suppliers must meet conservation standards in order to achieve the statewide mandatory reduction target. Ventura County Waterworks District #1 (VCWWD), the City of Moorpark's water supplier, is in conservation Tier 8, which calls for a 32% reduction in potable water use. If VCWWD customers do not achieve the mandatory reduction target set by the SWRCB, VCWWD will face large fines and penalties that would then be passed down to the ratepayers, including the City, in the form of higher water rates. Prior Water Conservation Efforts On January 17, 2014, Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency in the State of California and urged Californians to voluntarily reduce water consumption by at least 20%. In response to the worsening drought and the Governor's voluntary call for water 1 Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 2 reduction in 2014, the City had initiated several long term objectives to address the issue of water conservation. The adopted City of Moorpark Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals, and Objectives for FY 2015/2016 contain several departmental objectives that coincide with water conservation and the need to reduce consumption. Updates regarding the projects are highlighted below: IV. A. 6. Install the second phase of a centralized irrigation system for City facilities, parks, and landscape maintenance districts by September 30, 2015. In.2011, the City Council approved an Agreement with HydroPoint Data Systems, Inc. (HydroPoint) for the replacement of 44 existing irrigation controllers with WeatherTRAK ET Pro2 irrigation controllers within the City's Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMD's) and several parks. WeatherTRAK controllers receive real time weather and evapotranspiration (ETo) data via HydroPoint's system software and adjust irrigation schedules on a daily basis to reduce overall irrigation water consumption. In FY 2009/2010, prior to the installation of the WeatherTRAK controllers, the City reduced water consumption by approximately 16.5%, as compared to the prior fiscal year. Staff has tracked the City's water use and has determined that overall the City has saved an average of approximately 9.4% in irrigation water at locations where the WeatherTRAK controllers have been installed, as compared to the baseline of water use established in FY 10/11. HydroPoint Data System Water Use Summary FY 11/12, 12/13, 13/14 Analysis FY 10/11 FY 11/12 FY 12/13 FY 13/14 HCF (%) (%) (%) Baseline HCF saving HCF saving HCF saving Total LMD/Parks 85,492 70,134 18.0% 76,130 11.0% 86,106 -0.7% Overall Savings 9.40% The resulting savings is proportionate to the general weather conditions over the last several years and comparable to the significant drop in precipitation due to the drought conditions. The water savings from installing the WeatherTRAK controllers has declined from approximately 18% in FY 10/11, 11% in FY 12/13, and in FY 13/14 was relatively equal to the baseline of water use established in FY 10/11. This would be expected, as the controllers are generally programmed to supplement available precipitation when needed. Given the severe drought conditions during 2013 and 2014, the controllers have exceeded staffs expectations and have shown substantial overall savings. 2 Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 3 Phase II of the project includes the installation of fifteen (15) ETo controllers at the following City parks: Glenwood Park, Tierra Rejada Park, Campus Park, Poindexter Park, Mountain Meadows Park, Miller Park, Campus Canyon Park, and College View Park. Currently, staff is in the process of comparing several central irrigation systems, as well as the HydroPoint system, to ensure that the system we choose for Phase II does not compromise the City's ability to manage the parks. The parks are more difficult to manage than the LMDs, as schedules constantly need to be adjusted to accommodate for turf renovation practices, youth sports organizations, rentals, and large City events, such as the 3' of July Fireworks Extravaganza. Staff anticipates completion of the Phase II work by the June 2016. V. A. 25. Develop design plan to refurbish median landscaping and hardscape on Tierra Rejada Road from Spring Road to Los Angeles Avenue, Campus Park Drive from Princeton Avenue to Collins Drive, and Princeton Avenue from Condor Drive to Campus Park Drive including cost estimates, financing, phasing and water conservation measures by December 31, 2015. At the February 19, 2014, City Council meeting, staff discussed the need to develop a comprehensive plan to renovate all of the landscaping on Tierra Rejada Road, including the slopes, parkways, and median islands, with drought tolerant and California native plant material, or other low water use options. In addition to the need to reduce water, the majority of the Tierra Rejada Road streetscape requires funding from the general fund to supplement normal maintenance costs. The Tierra Rejada Road streetscape lies within LMD Zone 2 (Steeple Hill Area Tract 2865), LMD Zone 5 (Pheasant Run Tracts 3019 & 3525), and LMD Zone 10 (Mountain Meadows Planned Community). LMD Zone 2 is fully funded and there is funding available for normal maintenance procedures. However, funding for general maintenance procedures in LMD Zones 5 and 10 has historically been supplemented by the General Fund. These two Zones were accepted by the City prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (The Right to Vote on Taxes Act) in 1996. Historically, LMD Zones 5 and 10 have exhibited negative fund balances of approximately $41,437 and $51,118 respectively, resulting in substantial funding from the general fund to supplement normal maintenance procedures. The cost of water for these two zones in FY 14/15 was estimated at $87,000, which is equivalent to approximately 94% of the negative fund balance. Per City Council's approval, staff has solicited the services of Architerra Design Group (Architerra) to prepare a landscape master plan for the complete redesign of the Tierra Rejada Road corridor. In addition, as a special consultant to the design team, Architerra has enlisted the assistance of Robert (Bob) Perry of Perry and Associates Collaborative. Bob Perry is a recognized expert in the field of drought tolerant and California native planting design, as well as sustainable landscape development. To date, staff has met several times with Architerra on site to review the existing conditions 3 Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 4 and to coordinate design efforts. Staff anticipates that a final concept plan will be available for City Council review by the end of November 2015. DISCUSSION The City of Moorpark is one of VCWWD's largest water customers and utilizes approximately 10% of VCWWD's total water production. As such, the City's efforts to reduce water will have a large impact on the ability of VCWWD's customers as a whole to meet the water conservation standard. However, in order to meet the reduction target, the City needed to implement additional measures to further reduce water use. The adopted City of Moorpark Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals, and Objectives for FY 2015/2016 contains the following departmental objective that coincides with water conservation and the need to reduce consumption: IV. A. 31. Develop a Water Conservation Policy and Implementation Plan to meet mandatory water use restrictions for parks, facilities,, and City administered maintenance districts to include turf reduction, changes to the Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines to assist private efforts, and funding recommendations for City activities by September 30, 2015. In response to the City Council's desire to develop a Water Conservation Policy and Implementation Plan, staff prepared a Drought Action Plan (DAP) to guide the City's efforts in meeting the conservation standard mandated by SWRCB. The DAP was approved by the City Council on July 1, 2015, and contains water conservation practices and associated action items. Several of the items needed to be implemented immediately in order for the City to achieve a 32% overall reduction in water use by the February 2016 deadline established by SWRCB. A summary of the action items, including estimated costs, are listed below: • Action Item A.1.a — Retrofit existing facilities with low water use appliances and fixtures —estimated cost: $59,000 • Action Item A.1.b — Retrofit park restrooms with low water use fixtures — estimated cost: $3,000 • Action Item A.1.c — Install weather based irrigation controllers and drip irrigation —estimated cost: $275,000 • Action Item A.1.d — Reduce operating hours of city owned and maintained fountains • Action Item A.2.a — Implement turf conversion projects at all City parks — estimated cost, Phase I: $141,645 of which 100% will come from the General Fund. Phase II: Costs TBD • Action Item A.2.b — Renovate planters and turf areas in Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs) and at City facilities with California native 4 Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 5 plants or other low water use landscaping — estimated cost, Phase I: $1,981,205 of which 64% or $1,241,210 will be funded by the General Fund • Action Item A.4.a — Implement and publicize a broken irrigation reporting system for City facilities, parks, and LMDs — estimated cost: staff effort only • Action Item B.1.a — Homeowner's Association (HOA) outreach - estimated cost: staff effort only • Action Item B.1.b — Fast Track Landscape Renovation Approvals — estimated cost: $35,000 • Action Item B.3.a — Community Outreach Campaign — estimated cost: $2,000 • Several action items of the DAP needed to be implemented immediately in order for staff to get a head start on meeting the water conservation goal. A summary of these items follows: Action Item A.2.a - Turf Conversion Projects (Parks) Phase I: Staff prepared conceptual plans for each City park that outlines the turf areas proposed for removal and conversion to wood chips. The plans take into consideration usage at the parks by various sports leagues and other recreational opportunities. Staffs concept was to remove turf areas that have very limited or no recreational value and convert these areas to other uses, such as planters with California native or drought tolerant plant species, trails, or other park amenities. The approximate percentage of turf conversion at each site is summarized on the following page: 5 Parks.and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 6 Turf conversion(parks) Turf Conversion Turf Conversion Total Turf Total turf Turf Park (s.f.)

The recommended areas proposed for turf conversion are in addition to the turf removals that have already taken place. It's important to note that the plans staff prepared are conceptual in nature and that the percentage of turf removal could fluctuate based on actual field conditions. Staffs goal was to maximize the conversion boundary by following parameters established by the layout of the existing irrigation systems. This will reduce additional costs of modifying the irrigation systems at a later date. As such, the actual turf removal boundaries may need to be adjusted as the work commences. Staff has received quotes from the City's park maintenance contractor, Venco Western, Inc. (Venco). The cost to remove the turf, retrofit the irrigation systems to maintain existing trees, and spread wood chips was $123,169. Staff was able to realize considerable cost savings by reducing the work scope at the parks. Instead of removing all the turf and associated subgrade, staff proposed to eliminate the turf by utilizing chemical herbicides approved by the County of Ventura, Agricultural Commissioner's office, mowing the remaining turf down to the subgrade, removing the turf only at locations adjacent to sidewalks and other hardscape areas, and covering the areas with wood chips. The cost savings will be achieved by leaving considerable portions of the dead turf in place, thus lowering the amount of square footage of grass and subgrade that is actually removed. This change in the scope of work allowed the City to lower the estimated cost of the project by $1,583,000, as compared to removing all the turf and 6 Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 7 associated subgrade. Currently, the City is eligible for rebates from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) to offset a portion of these costs As of May 26, 2015, the rebates for turf removal through MWD is $2.00/s.f. up to 3,000 s.f. of turf area, $1.00/s.f. for greater than 3,000 s.f. of turf area, with a limit of $50,000 per property. The rebates for this work will offset the cost to remove the turf. It is important to note that the rebates are not guaranteed and applications are being processed and approved for rebate reservations on a first come, first serve basis until the funding runs out. Staff has submitted for the MWD rebates for each park. However, in order to get a jump start on the City's water conservation efforts, staff has turned off the majority of the water within the proposed turf conversion areas as early as June 2015. Monte Vista Park was not included in the above calculation due to the fact that this park already consists of native and drought tolerant plant species, and Villa Campesina and Arroyo Vista Community Park are not included in the turf conversion calculation due to the use of well water atthese sites. In addition, Walnut Acres Park has already been designed with the goal of minimizing irrigation water use. The turf area within this park is limited to a small recreational area consisting of Bermuda turf, the plant material consists primarily of California native plant species and the irrigation system has been installed with low volume spray heads, in addition to the many sustainable features designed into the park, such as below grade storm water infiltration systems and the use of permeable paving. Phase II: Consists of the preparation of plans to replace converted turf areas with drought tolerant and/or California native plant species, or other recreational opportunities for review by the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Council, prior to the future development of these areas. Staff will return to the City Council to request additional funding for future phases if required at that time. STATUS: Action Item A.2.a - Turf Conversion Projects(Parks) To date, Phase I of the turf conversion projects at the City's parks has been completed, with the exception of Miller Park and College View Park. The turf areas outlined in the DAP have been removed and replaced with bark mulch, and the irrigation systems have been modified to ensure that the trees get supplemental water as needed to maintain their health. The total acreage of turf removed is approximately 19.36 acres, representing 37% of all the turf acreage in the various City parks. Miller Park and College View Park only need bark mulch installed to complete this phase of the work. Due to the forecasted El Nino weather pattern expected to hit Southern California during the winter, staff is taking precautions and preparing measures to ensure that the newly placed bark mulch does not migrate offsite. For instance, drought tolerant plant material is being installed on slope areas and in parkways adjacent to sidewalks and streets. In addition, area drains are being installed with cobble to act as a barrier, while allowing storm water to migrate into the drainage structures. Staff is also stocking up on erosion 7 Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 8 control devices, such as straw waddle and sand bags, in case extreme weather - necessitates the installation of this material. Phase II of the turf conversion project consists of replacing the converted turf areas with drought tolerant and/or California native plant species, or other recreational amenities. In addition to the plant material already installed to prevent erosion and minimize storm water concerns, staff has had an opportunity to initiate two volunteer projects that consisted of planting California native plant species to start this process. On September 12, 2015, thirty-eight volunteers planted 175 shrubs at Glenwood Park and on October 10, 2015, six volunteers planted ninety shrubs at Tierra Rejada Park. Volunteer Day is a program that was initiated by the City's recreation division. The program's objective is directed at engaging the teen population, however, all individuals are welcome and anyone may sign up to participate in this program. The next Volunteer Day is scheduled at Country Trail Park on November 4, 2015. Staff has not begun the process of preparing options for recreation amenities within the converted turf areas for review by the Parks and Recreation Commission or the City Council. Staff will prepare a series of options for each park prior to the future development of these areas. Action Item A.2.b — Landscape Maintenance Districts and City Facility Landscape Renovations LMD Zone 7 (LA Ave — Shasta Ave to Gabbert Road), LMD Zone 8 (Shadyridge Buffer Zone), LMD Zone 12 (Carlsberg Specific Plan), LMD Zone 15 (Toll Brothers Tract 4928), LMD Zone 16 (Cabrillo Tract 5161), LMD Zone 18 (Colmer Tract 5307), and LMD Zone 22 (Pardee Tract 5045) have also been installed with high to moderate water use plant types and staff feels that there are opportunities to reduce waterconsumption within these LMD's, that can further help us meet the conservation standard, primarily the conversion of turf area to planters consisting of California native plant material. Similar to the turf conversion projects within the City parks, staff recommended to the City Council the renovation of the landscaping within the Landscape Maintenance Districts and at City facilities. Staff prepared a phased approach that will allow immediate water savings to be achieved while allowing time to design a drought tolerant or low water use plant palette for the designated renovation areas. Phase I includes the removal of ornamental and high water use plant material, the removal of all turf areas, modification of the irrigation to maintain the health of affected trees, and placement of wood chips. As mentioned previously, in addition to the need to remove turf within all the LMD areas, the majority of the Tierra Rejada Road streetscape consists of 'red fescue' a high water use groundcover, similar to turf. The Tierra Rejada Road streetscape lies within LMD Zone 2 (Steeple Hill Area Tract 2865), LMD Zone 5 (Pheasant Run Tracts 3019 & 8 Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 9 3525), and LMD Zone 10 (Mountain Meadows Planned Community). Atthe time the DAP was presented to the City Council, staff was uncertain whether or not 'red fescue' will qualify for rebates under the guidelines established by MWD. However, staff submitted rebates for each water meter along the Tierra Rejada Road corridor in hopes that this plant material will qualify for rebates. Staff identified the areas for removal which are summarized below: Turf Turf Turf Conversion -Landscape Maintenance Conversion Conversion Turf Districts (s.f.)

Using the preliminary cost estimate of$2.15/sq.ft., the cost to remove the 17.11 acres of turf in all of the LMDs is estimated to cost $1,602,825. The cost at the City facilities is estimated at $28,380 for a total removal cost of $1,631,205. The turf removal work in Zones 2, 5, and 10 will be a part of the larger project to renovate the landscaping on Tierra Rejada Road. Staff is exploring other opportunities to remove the turf at the City facilities and LMD areas that will require funding from the General Fund, primarily Zones 7, 8, 12, 16, and 18. In addition to completing a portion of this work with in-house City staff, staff has been contacted by several volunteer organizations looking for service projects and will seek assistance from . local service organizations. Staff initially estimated that the turf rebates available for the turf removal work would total $1,294,000. If staff is successful in obtaining all the requested rebates, the net project cost for this work will total approximately $337,205. Approximately $192,207 would come from the General Fund, with the remaining costs attributed to the applicable LMD zone. STATUS: Action Item.A.2.b — Landscape Maintenance Districts and City Facility Landscape Renovations The turf conversion in the LMD zones began in October 2015. Because the turf conversion activities in these areas will be the most noticeable, staff has prepared and placed signs in LMD zones around the City, so that the public can be made aware of the pending water conservation activities. As with the parks, all of the water has been turned off to the affected areas and irrigation will be modified to ensure the health of the urban forest. Staffs original concept was to remove all turf and high water use landscaping, such as red fescue, in all LMD zones. However, due to the costs associated with these removals, and the need to finalize the landscape plans for certain LMD areas, such as the Tierra Rejada Road corridor, the Phase I removals in several landscape maintenance districts are only partial turf removals, particularly LMD Zones 2, 5, and 10. The turf removals at the remaining City facilities included 100% of the turf area. It should be noted that several improvement projects were included in the Phase I work. A portion of LMD Zone 12 includes the median islands on Tierra Rejada Road between Spring Road and Hwy 23. Due to the excessive irrigation runoff from the overhead spray irrigation system and the restrictions imposed by the SWRCB, staff is replacing the spray irrigation system with a drip irrigation system. In addition, several areas of red flax have declined due to a localized rat infestation. Staff will be replacing the flax with Rhaphiolepis i. 'clara', a moderately drought tolerant plant that is consistent with the streetscape design within LMD Zone 12. The rats have only infested the red flax, as the plant material is dense and appears favored by the rats for burrowing and nest making. Staff believes that the change in plant type will eliminate the problem. In addition, staff 10 Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 11 recommended installing a drip irrigation system and replacing the turf along Poindexter Avenue in LMD Zone 16 also with Rhaphiolepis i. 'clara' to maintain consistency with the existing plant material on Poindexter Avenue. The turf conversion at the Ruben Castro Human Services Center includes the installation of decomposed granite in place of the turf and the turf conversion at the Civic Center includes the addition of several trees within the parking lot area and the installation of wood chips. The City Council approved this work on August 19, 2015, and staff anticipates completing Phase I of the turf conversion in the LMDs by the end of November. Phase.II of the landscape renovations is underway. Staff is preparing Requests for Proposals for Landscape Architects to prepare plans for the replacement of the removed landscaping with drought tolerant and low water use plants. Staff directed that all water be turned off at the areas proposed for future turf conversion so that water savings can begin immediately, with the exception of LMD Zones 2, 5, and 10. As discussed during previous City Council meetings, the predominant tree within these LMD zones is the Coast Redwood, which requires a substantial amount of supplemental irrigation water to thrive. Due to the fact that many of these trees are already exhibiting health issues due to environmental stress conditions, staff did not recommend further reducing the irrigation water within these LMD zones until a plan has been developed to renovate the Tierra Rejada Road corridor, and a supplemental irrigation system has been designed for the existing redwoods. However, staff is confident that the trees within the remaining LMD areas will not decline due to the elimination of supplemental irrigation water. Conclusion: To date, staffs efforts in implementing the DAP have yielded encouraging results. Staff has received a summary and comparison of all the City's water accounts from Ventura County Water Works District No. 1 (VCWWD). The results of Action Items A.2.a and A.2.b has enabled the City to realize a 53% reduction in water use for City parks, facilities, and landscape areas between the months of June through September 2015, as compared to the water use during the same billing period in 2013. This equates to savings of 64,591 hundred cubic feet (HCF) of water or 48,314,068 gallons. As a reminder, in response to the Governor's April 2015 Executive Order, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) has mandated a water conservation reduction target of 32% by February 2016. To date, the City has exceeded the conservation goal. It should be noted that Villa Campesina and Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP) utilize well water and are not subject to the 32% reduction goal mandated by .the SWRCB, and therefore were not included in the DAP. However, in 2014 the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (FCGMA), the groundwater regulatory agency in Ventura County, adopted Emergency Ordinance E (Ordinance), which established Temporary Extraction Allocations (TEA) based on average annual reported 11 ' Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 12 extractions. The Ordinance called for a phased reduction in groundwater extractions of 20% beginning on July 1, 2014. If the City failed to reduce their groundwater extractions by the prescribed amount, they will be subject to an extraction surcharge for the amount of water that was extracted over the TEA. The first reduction reduced well water extractions by 10%. Further reductions of 5% have occurred every 6 months, arriving at the full reduction of 20% in January 1, 2016. The City of Moorpark's TEA was established at 66.0 acre feet of water, resulting in a ground water allocation of approximately 53 acre feet in 2016 for operations at AVCP. The average well water use during a normal year is approximately 72 acre feet/year. However, over the last several years, the City used approximately 100 acre feet of water to irrigate the sports fields at AVCP due to turf renovation practices. In order to achieve the reduction goal mandated by the Ordinance, the City would have to reduce water use at AVCP by approximately 50%. In July 2015, staff received a water use summary from FCGMA and has had an opportunity to compare the City's water use from January through June of 2015 to the same billing period in 2014. To date the City has reduced well water use at AVCP by approximately 60% and has exceeded the well water extraction reduction target without • incurring surcharges. Staff believes that a significant portion of the water savings is due to the variable frequency drive systems that were installed in 2014 to help alleviate many of the irrigation system inefficiencies at AVCP. FISCAL IMPACT The total cost of the Phase I turf removals at the City parks is $123,169, plus a project contingency of $18,476 for a total cost of $141,645. The total estimated cost for the Phase I turf removals in the LMDs, including the additional work scope, is approximately $309,625, which includes a project contingency of $28,839. The total turf conversion Phase I project costs for both the parks and LMD areas is $451,270. Due to transferring some areas of the work scope (i.e. turf and dirt removals) from Phase Ito Phase II, staff was able to reduce the total Phase I project cost by $1,653,104. Staff believes that the modifications allow staff to take a more careful and phased approach to the Phase II work scope in the turf conversion areas, potentially allowing for greater financial savings in Phase II. As of the writing of this report, staff has not received official approval from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) regarding the turf removal rebates. However, staff has been notified by MWD that they are including all parkways and streetscapes, including median islands, as one turf removal area, subject to the $50,000 project cap. The results of this requirement suggests that there will be significantly less funding available to offset the costs of the turf conversion projects. The parks and miscellaneous City properties are still being treated as individual sites, so it does not appear that the rebate amounts for these areas will be reduced. However, staff has 12 Parks and Recreation Commission November 2, 2015 Page 13 also been informed by MWD that the red fescue within the streetscape areas along Tierra Rejada Road does not qualify for turf removal rebates. Staff is aware of several homeowners associations that have received rebates for red fescue and has questioned MWD regarding their denial of the rebate applications. MWD has stated that each project is assessed on an individual basis and due to the high number of applications they have limited the release of turf rebates to only include projects that include the removal of turf grass. Staff has also discussed the issue of the $50,000 rebate cap for the streetscapes, as many of the streetscapes in the City are within a particular LMD and funded individually by the LMD assessment for a particular area, and not the General Fund. MWD agrees that this may be an area of contention and has allowed staff to file a formal protest regarding this matter. To date, staff has not received notice from MWD regarding this issue.

WATER EFFICIENCY IN CITY FACILITIES, PARKS AND LANDSCAPE AREAS 1. USE WATER EFFICIENTLY Enacting procedures to assess, maintain, repair, and retrofit existing plumbing fixtures, pipes, and irrigation systems in all City buildings, parks and facilities is critical to efficient water use. Drought Action Items: a. Retrofit Existing Facilities with Low Water Use Appliances and Fixtures. Evaluate all City facility restrooms and kitchens and retrofit with low water use toilets, waterless urinals, hands free faucets and/or flow restrictors, and water efficient appliances such as dishwashers, where applicable. Estimated Cost: $59,000 b. Retrofit Park Restroom Facilities with Low Water Use Fixtures. Evaluate all park restroom facilities and retrofit with low water use toilets, waterless urinals, hands free faucets and/or flow restrictors, where applicable. Estimated Cost: TBD c. Install Weather Based Irrigation Controllers and Drip Irrigation. Install weather based irrigation controllers and retrofit irrigation systems with either drip irrigation components or spray nozzles with low precipitation rates in all landscaped areas at all City facilities, parks, and landscape maintenance districts. Estimated Cost Weather Based irrigation controllers:$275,000 Estimated Cost Irrigation System Modification: TBD d. Reduce Operating Hours of City-maintained fountains. Reduce the operating hours of city owned and maintained fountains to six hours per day to reduce water use due to water evaporation and refilling the fountains, while minimizing long term maintenance costs. 2. REDUCE IRRIGATED LANDSCAPING Outdoor water use accounts for between 30% and 50% of water use, depending upon the type of material being irrigated. Enacting programs and procedures to reduce the amount and type of irrigated landscaping is critical to reducing overall water use. 2IPage 15 DROUGHT ACTION PLAN Drought Action Items: a. Implement Turf Conversion Projects at all City Parks. Evaluate all parks to identify areas for turf conversion. Emphasis will be placed on removal of turf that has very limited or no recreational value. Care will also be taken to maintain the health of the urban forest during turf conversion activities. When turf conversion and irrigation modification take place, drip irrigation will be used around trees to ensure their water needs are met. Turf conversion will generally encompass two phases. Phase 1: Identify areas for conversion, turn off the water, remove or modify the irrigation, and use bark mulch in the area to be converted. (See Exhibit A, Turf Conversion Diagrams) Estimated Cost:$141,645 Phase 2: Evaluate converted areas to determine whether they can be used for additional recreational opportunities or amenities such as trails, sport courts, playgrounds etc. or whether the area should be planted with native or low water use plants. Estimated Cost: Varies, TBD b. Renovate Planters and Turf Areas in Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMD's) and at City Facilities with California Native Plants or other Low Water Use Landscaping. Evaluate planters and turf areas at City facilities and in the LMD's for re-design with California native plants or other low water use landscaping. The LMD's generally consist of median islands and streetscapes within the public right-of- way and other designated areas maintained by the City. Maintenance of the urban forest is important during these activities. Drip irrigation is to be placed around all trees to ensure their water needs are met. Renovation activities will encompass two phases: Phase 1: Remove high water use plantings and turf areas, modify irrigation to maintain tree health, and cover with bark mulch. Estimated Cost: $1,981,205 Phase 2: Hire a landscape architect to re-design the designated areas with a drought tolerant or low water use plant palette. Estimated Cost: Varies, TBD 3IPage 16 DROUGHT ACTION PLAN 3. RECYCLED WATER USE Use of recycled water reduces demand for potable water. Under State Water Code Section 13550 et. seq., the use of potable water for non-potable uses is a waste or unreasonable use of water if recycled water is available. Water used in parks or landscape areas is identified as a wasteful or unreasonable use of potable water. Enact programs and procedures that work to increase use of recycled water in areas that currently use potable water and are identified as a wasteful or unreasonable area to use potable water. Drought Action Items: a. Work with Ventura County Waterworks District on Provision of Recycled Water to City Parks and Landscape Maintenance Districts. Currently, all available recycled water allocation provided by the Ventura County Waterworks District is being utilized. Staff will work with the District on plans for increasing recycled water amounts and how the City can access the increased allocation. Estimated Cost: Staff effort b. Recycled Water Infrastructure for Parks and Landscape Maintenance Districts. Evaluate logistics and costs to provide recycled water infrastructure to City parks and landscape maintenance districts Estimated Cost: Staff effort 4. COMMUNITY REPORTING Enlisting the public's help to report broken sprinklers and pipes in Landscape Maintenance Districts, City facilities and parks adds to the City's monitoring and. response capacity and saves water that otherwise would be wasted. Creating and maintaining community reporting systems will assist the City's efforts in monitoring our own water use. Drought Action Items: a. Irrigation Problem Reporting System. Work with Information Systems staff to implement and publicize a broken pipe reporting system. Evaluate setting up a dedicated phone line for residents to report broken water systems and publicize the use of the "Report" program available on the City's website. Estimated Cost: Staff effort 4I Page 17 DROUGHT ACTION PLAN B. WATER CONSERVATION IN THE COMMUNITY 1. ENCOURAGE LOW WATER USE LANDSCAPE RENOVATIONS An important aspect of water conservation in the community is adopting City procedures and programs that encourage conversion of landscaping to native and low water use landscaping. Drought Action Items: a. Homeowner's Association (HOA) Outreach. Schedule a meeting with the Homeowner's Associations and representatives to discuss the City's views on drought tolerant landscape renovations and to educate them on the renovation approval process. Encourage the HOA's to adopt procedures and processes that support individual homeowner's in renovating their landscape to native and low water use landscaping. Estimated Cost: Staff effort b. Fast-Track Landscape Renovation Approvals. Implement a fast-track landscape renovation approval process that encourages landscape renovations. Prepare a submittal checklist to be provided to the applicant that would assist the applicant with preparing plans that meet the City's goals of water conservation and aesthetic value. The Community Development Director would be authorized to review and approve landscape renovation plans that are converting high water use landscapes to native and low water use landscapes. Under the process, a deposit of $1,000 would be taken. The City would provide three hours of staff time and one inspection, at no charge. Any additional hours or inspections would be charged at the applicable billing rates and charged against the deposit. The applicant will have 120 days to complete the work or forfeit any remaining portion of their deposit. This fast track process would apply to all landscape renovation projects that are required to adhere to the City's adopted Landscape Design Guidelines and Standards, as amended and updated. Estimated Cost: $35,000 2. LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES Landscape .Design Standards and Guidelines (Guidelines) assist in the preparation of landscape plans while incorporating water conservation design aesthetics and landscape consistency throughout the City. Maintaining up-to- date landscape design guidelines is important to incorporate the latest trends in water efficient landscape and the most current standards of the State's Model Water Efficient Landscape Guidelines. In 2009, the City adopted Landscape 5IPage 18 DROUGHT ACTION PLAN Design Standards and guidelines. The City's Guidelines were last updated in 2012 to include Artificial Turf as an allowable landscape material. Drought Action Items: a. Modifications to Landscape Design Guidelines. Modify the Guidelines to remove turf as an acceptable landscape material in non- recreational landscape areas within new residential, commercial and industrial developments and include the requirements of the Emergency Regulation of the State Water Resources Control Board, as it relates to the Landscape Design Guidelines. Estimated Cost: Staff effort b. Reduce Runoff and Promote Groundwater Recharge. Include design criteria in development projects that use natural systems to minimize water waste in parking lots, playfields, parks, residential, and commercial and residential projects. Criteria should encourage the use of permeable hardscapes, bio-swales, and other natural features to promote groundwater recharge. Estimated Cost: Staff effort 3. COMMUNITY OUTREACH Community outreach is an important component to reaching the water conservation standard. In addition, changing the landscape design aesthetic of the City requires an effective campaign to inform residents about the status and implementation of water conservation projects and prepare them for the "new look" of landscape design around the City. Drought Action Items: a. Community Outreach Campaign, "Brown is the new Green". Design and implement a community outreach campaign, including branding. This campaign will be designed to keep residents up-to-date on the City's turf conversion activities and educate them on the benefits of modifying ornamental landscape areas to native and drought tolerant plantings, and provide them with information on how they can reduce their water use. A component of the campaign should be partnering with the Waterworks district to assist with the community meeting the 32% conservation standard set by the State Water Resources Control board. Cost Estimate: $2,000 for brand design and printed materials 6IPage 19 DROUGHT ACTION PLAN EXHIBIT A TURF REMOVAL DIAGRAMS CITY PARKS 7IPage SHADYRIDGE ROAD BUFFER ZONE — LMD ZONE 8 litpr PROPOSED TURF CONVERSION PLAN 4,0,0**1 , . . , t i , „' '' syr , .. , . .... , ........... ....lot „.. „ .„ ...„.„,„ .,...,,K, fk , . ,, ,, ,,,,,,,, s . .

The Policy defines costs, revenue sources, program categories, and recovery levels. Costs currently reported include direct costs (costs charged to the programs' line item budget and part-time staff costs) and indirect costs (full-time staff costs and overhead costs such as facility use and general department supplies). Each program offered by the Recreation Division is assigned a program category, based on factors including type, purpose, and program structure. Program categories are each placed into a recovery level. There are five recovery levels, ranging from level 1 (high subsidy) to level 5 (minimal subsidy). The Policy establishes both the minimum cost recovery and target cost recovery requirements for each program category. Both the minimum and target amounts are noted in the cost recovery summaries in this report. Programs are expected to reach their minimum recovery goal within a period not to exceed one year. Programs that are unable to meet the minimum cost recovery will be reviewed for consideration of appropriate action, including restructuring or eliminating the program. The City Manager is also authorized to exclude individual programs from the requirements of the Policy. The Policy requires an annual reporting to the Parks and Recreation Commission and Moorpark City Council on Recreation Programs, and whether those programs met their cost recovery goals. Attached for reference is the Cost Recovery Policy, which establishes minimum and target cost recovery percentages for recreation programs. 35 Parks and Recreation Commission Annual Cost Recovery Summary FY 14/15 Page 2 DISCUSSION This report serves as a financial summary of Recreation Division programs for the fiscal year 2014-2015. The seasons included are Summer 2014, Fall 2014, Winter 2015, and Spring 2015. Included in this report are financial summaries for each program, including comparison figures from the prior two fiscal years; a summary listing of programs based on their status of meeting cost recovery goals; and staff recommended action plans for those programs not meeting their minimum recovery goals Cost Recovery Goal Summaries Programs meeting Programs meeting minimum Programs not meeting target cost recovery cost recovery goal minimum cost recovery goal goal 3`d of July Fireworks Halloween Fest N Films Moorpark Has Talent Extravaganza Breakfast with Santa General Teen Events Easter Egg Hunt Recreation Classes Community Yard Sale Adult Basketball League Camp Moorpark Adult Soccer League Adult Softball League Youth Basketball League Teen Band Events Moorpark Arts Festival Financial and Cost Recovery Summaries for Recreation Programs 3rd of July Fireworks Extravaganza Thursday, 7/3/14 from 4:00 to 9:30 p.m. at AVCP.

It continues to receive positive response from event participants and attendees. This event is currently categorized as "Other Event" because it requires participants to register and audition in advance, the venue limits the number of public that can attend the final show, and substantial financial prizes are distributed to winners. This program has not been able to meet its minimum cost recovery for the past four years, and has been excluded from the cost recovery requirements by the City Manager. Teen Band and General Teen Events Providing recreation programming to the City's teen population is a priority for the City. These events are categorized as "Special Event" and are required to recoup at least 50% of direct costs. For the previous three fiscal years, teen band events have met the minimum cost recovery requirement, but due to declining interest and participation, staff recommends discontinuing those events. In order to meet the changing trends with within the teen population, staff recommends increasing the "Volunteer Days" programming, and "Job Training" classes due to the requirements placed on teens from their school environment to achieve a specific amount of volunteer hours in order to graduate, and to support their interest in entering the work place. Recreation Classes This is the second year the program has not met its minimum cost recovery requirement. The program did not meet its minimum recovery requirement due to a decline in enrollment. Staff recommends increasing program promotion, eliminating poorly performing classes, and researching and implementing new and trending class ideas in order to increase enrollment and revenue. Staff also recommends increasing the partnerships and collaboration with local businesses to broaden options for unique and interesting classes and to generate interest from the local community. Adult Basketball League The adult basketball league has not been able to meet its minimum cost recovery requirement for the past four years. Although staff have already implemented some cost saving measures, these have not been sufficient to overcome the loss in revenue due to declining team enrollment. The league will need at least 14 teams per season (56 teams per year) participating in order to meet the minimum recovery goal; this year 54 teams enrolled, an increase of 4 teams from the previous year. Staff recommends program changes within the league, and re-certifying and updating officials. As with softball, staff recommends researching and implementing new divisions or activities, such as a tournaments or 3-on-3 division, to increase interest in the league. Adult Soccer League This league has not been able to meet its minimum cost recovery requirement for the last three years. As with the other adult sports leagues, declining team enrollment and the subsequent reduction in revenue are the primary factors. This year the league had 46 Parks and Recreation Commission Annual Cost Recovery Summary FY 14/15 Page 13 41 teams participating; a total of 60 teams (52 7-on-7 and 8 futsal) are needed in order for the program to meet its minimum recovery goal. Futsal was also eliminated this year due to low enrollment and accounts for a portion of the reduction in revenue. Staff recommendations are the same as for the other adult sports leagues; increasing promotion for the league, as well as researching and implementing new divisions or activities that will increase interest in the league. Staff recommends eliminating the adult soccer league in FY 16/17 if the minimum cost recovery is not met in FY 15/16. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Provide feedback on cost recovery report and direct staff to present the report to the City Council.

Youth sports organizations operating under agreements in the spring (March,April, and May) included AYSO, Moorpark Little League, Moorpark Girls Softball, Moorpark Soccer Club, and United States Youth Volleyball League. Both gross and net revenue increased slightly this year. Although revenue increased, rental attendance decreased. This is due primarily to the rental use by youth sports organizations. Although fees for use of fields increased for the youth sports organizations, the organizations as a whole had significantly decreased rental activity and therefore decreased attendance. In 2014, youth sports organizations accounted for 43,955 in rental attendance. In 2015, youth sports organization attendance fell to 35,629.Additionally, a dog agility competition rental with 2,000 in attendance that occurred in 2014 did not return in 2015. 12 67 Rentals 2015 2014 2013 Rental Attendance N Axa 50,788 60,485 65,405 rs *c ! el 5 Direct Costs $2,431 $2,054 $2,587 T L.

Walter, Landscape and Parks Superintendent Emilio Blanco, Landscape and Parks Superintendent DATE: October 15, 2015 (Meeting of November 2, 2015) SUBJECT: Parks Quarterly Report for July, August, September 2015 • Construct a Wood Ball Wall at a Selected City Park: (Objective IV.B.5): No change since last report. The City Council rejected staffs recommendation to _ award a construction contract, and staff will review options in an effort to reduce costs. • Graffiti Abatement: Park staff spent approximately 34 hours removing graffiti during July, August, and September. • Poindexter Park Playground Equipment: In December 2012, staff obtained City Council approval to replace the playground equipment at Poindexter Park, as the existing equipment had outlived its life expectancy. The City Council approved an appropriation of $115,000 from the General Fund Reserve to fund this project. However, in January 2014, staff applied for a Housing Related Parks Program Grant through the California Department of Housing and Community Development and was awarded $123,850 in funding to complete this project. Staff obtained proposals from five manufacturers and on October 6 the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the proposal submitted by Sun County Systems, Inc. The City Council approved the design of the play equipment on November 5, 2014. The playground equipment has been installed and residents are enjoying the playgrounds new features, as well as the new and improved merry go round. • Asphalt Parking Lot Repairs: Staff prepared the bid specifications for the asphalt repairs required at Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP), Poindexter Park, Monte Vista Park, Country Trail Park, Miller Park, and the Civic Center parking lots. City Council approved the project plans and specifications in July. On December 3, a contract for the parking lots asphalt work was awarded to Berry General Engineering, Inc. and the work will cost approximately $595,000. The work has started. The original completion date was in June 2015, however, 69 Parks Quarterly Report Page 2 several changes and additional work items have come up that have required extensions of the contract completion date to October 2015. • Walnut Acres Park: The City Council approved the Agreement for the construction of the park site at 161 Second Street to Malibu Pacific Tennis Courts on September 17, 2014. The total contract cost is $448,800, which includes a 10% contingency in the amount of $40,800. Construction of the park started on October 27, 2014, and was scheduled for completion in May 2015. The Contractor fell behind schedule and staff is working with the Contractor to finalize the park. The Contractor was unable to complete the final punch list items, so the City has completed them. The park was opened in early September, and a grand opening ceremony was held on Wednesday, September 30. • Widening Access Road at Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP) to Accommodate Bike Lanes/Paths and Sidewalks (Objective VILA.26) and Formal Walking Path at AVCP (Objective VII.A.20): No change since last report. The grant agreement has been signed and the deed restrictions required by the grant have been recorded against the property. Staff is in the process of getting the construction drawings finalized and preparing bid specifications in order to go out to bid. It is anticipated that the project will be released for bid in early fall, with construction taking place starting shortly thereafter. Portions of the project relevant to parking lots A and C at Arroyo Vista Community Park are being constructed as a part of the parking lot improvement project currently underway, • Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP) Retaining Wall: A retaining wall at AVCP is in need of replacement. The retaining wall was installed at the top of the slope on the south side of the park, adjacent to three homes at the end of the cul- de-sacs on Honeyglen Court and Summerglen Court. To date, the geotechnical evaluation is complete and the civil engineering plans and specifications are approximately 90% complete. Upon completion, staff will solicit bid proposals from qualified contractors to complete this work. • Moorpark Parks Turf Reduction Project: On June 3, 2015, staff presented a draft Drought Action Plan outlining the various actions the City should take to meet the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) mandated water conservation reduction target of 32%. The plan outlined how the City could conserve water within City operations and at the same time promote water conservation citywide. On July 1, 2015, the City Council approved the turf reduction project at 14 City parks. Staffs plans for each City park outlines the turf areas proposed for removal and conversion to wood chips. Staffs concept is to remove turf areas that have very limited or no recreational value and convert these areas to other uses, such as planters with California native or drought tolerant plant species. The turf reduction project began on July 20, 2015, and was completed in October 2015. Phase II consisting of installing drought tolerant 2 70 Parks Quarterly Report Page 3 trees, plants, groundcover, and drip irrigation is in process and staff anticipates completion by early December 2015. • Water Rebate Program: Staff submitted 14 parks for turf removal rebates to the Metropolitan Water District SoCal Water Smart program. The park turf removal encompassed 843,251 square feet or approximately 19.36 acres of turf grass. The program requires staff to provide turf square footage watered by a specific water meter, along with five photos of the turf that is to be removed. This is the first step in qualifying for the rebates and the City could receive rebates of up to $1.00 or $2.00 per square foot. The Parks Division has received application approval for 10 parks and four applications require additional information. Park staff will continue the application process by submitting follow up information and photos. 3 71
