SUBJECT: POLICE DEPARTMENTS REPORT
INDEPENDENCE DAY FESTIVITIES
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA
During the City Council's meeting on May 2, 1990, the Honorable City
Council agreed to fund all on and off -site law enforcement costs
related to the City's Independence Day celebration, a "Concert in the
Sky ". Costs were not to exceed $4,000.00.
The event on July 3, 1990, once again occurred at the new Moorpark
High School. Staff's report will synopsize the days activities and
identify incurred policing costs.
A very family oriented crowd was on hand inside /outside the event
site. This contributed significantly to the low number of incidents.
As expected, parking and crowd control were areas of primary concern.
On site the crowd was estimated at 7,000 while several thousands
viewed the fireworks from the surrounding area,
Although a significant number of vehicles drove into the area, very
few traffic problems arose. One minor traffic accident did occur.
Vehicles parking in front of the schools driveways blocking gates at
entrance /exit points was an on -going problem however, volunteers
assigned to these areas helped to keep vehicles moving.
Mountain Trail between Tierra Rejada and Mountain Meadow was closed
for parking. Parking was orderly and allowed close proximity for
visitors. Street parking restrictions in the area were waived to
handle the parking needs.
Citizen volunteers were available to provide assistance throughout the
day. They appeared well versed :)n their duties and were easy to
locate.

(805) 527-6611
From a law enforcement prospective, the event was successful, few
problems occurred. Approximately half a dozen lost children were
returned to their parents, four parking citations were issued and no
arrests were made.
The Sheriff's Mobile Command Post was on -site the entire day. The
Mounted Patrol and motorcycle personnel were very active and
contributed greatly to the crowd and traffic control. Two -man deputy
teams were separated to address all issues and accomplish objectives.
Sheriff's Cadets directed and monitored traffic conditions throughout
the evening.
Staff has submitted a post action report to the City Manager's Office
for review and discussion.
Law enforcement costs were controlled through scheduling and the use
of Sheriff's Reserves, Cadets and Explorers. Law enforcement staff
was supervised by Sergeant Dennis Carpenter and consisted of ten
deputies, four reserves, four cadets plus explorer scouts.
