DISCUSSION
A. Background
The City recently acquired the property just south of the
Moorpark Library at 675 Moorpark Avenue (see location map
attached).
B. Project Objectives
Staff has developed a plan for the construction of modifications
and improvements to this site required to make it suitable for
use as an interim Corporation Yard to accommodate the
maintenance activities of both the Public Works Department and
the Community Services Department. The benefits of implementing
this plan are many. They include the following:
• providing a consolidated location for the storage, staging
and administration of City maintenance activities;
• a secure location for the storage of City maintenance
supplies, vehicles, equipment; and,
• the addition of six or more parking spaces at City Hall
resulting from the relocation of City maintenance vehicles.
C. Proposed Use
If implemented, this plan would allow for the following:
• Grounds:
• the parking of all maintenance equipment and vehicles;
• possible employede parking (staff is still evaluating
whether of not there will be enough room at this site to
accomodate parking for City maintenace personnel);
• the placement of a number of storage containers;
• the placement of the City's forty cubic yard refuse
container;
• Building:
• some materials storage;
• office space for the Community Services Supervisor and the
Public Works Leadworker; and,
• a maintenance staff meeting /training room.

D. Proposed Improvements
The types of repairs, modifications and improvements required
include the following:
Grounds:
• grade site and place gravel;
• relocate three of the five storage bins to this site;
• modify fencing and install fence screens to block
visibility; and,
• install security lighting.
• Building:
• inspect for and remove (if required) asbestos ceiling
insulation;
• remove lath & plaster ceiling and install drywall ceiling;
• install new electrical service and wiring;
• install beam to replace removed wall (possibly bearing);
• replace doors and locks;
• replace front store windows;
• replace electric water heater ( *);
• modify interior floor plan (doors / partitions) to
accommodate proposed uses; and,
• modify interior shelving for storage needs;
• install telephones;
• paint interior walls, ceiling and floors;
• remove old air conditioner;
• patch stucco, seal facade and overhang;
• paint exterior: and,
• install security system (to include exterior electric
eye).
( *) NOTE: It is the intent of staff to request prices for the
upgrading of the electrical wiring to the standards
of either a commercial occupancy or a non-
commercial occupancy. Improvements to non-
commercial occupancy standards will be less costly.
If upgrading to commercial standards is deemed to
be not cost effective, the non - commerical standards
will be used. In such case all meetings with the
public must take place in a meeting room at City
Hall.
