GEDNEY City Treasurer TO: The Honorable City Council RECEIVES FROM: R. Dennis Delzeit , City Engineer FFR 2 8 1985 DATE : City Council Meeting of March 4 , 1985 City of Ii0,'. , . SUBJECT : Filming Operations - Moorpark High School Old Time Productions At the City Council meeting of February 19th, the City Council requested information related to the filming activities at Moorpark High School . A number of issues were investigated by staff and, in summary , the overall result is that the filming operations were a positive experience to the High School and to the City. The following is a summary of some of the items which were investigated : 1 . An Encroachment Permit was issued by the City on January 3rd. The purpose of the Encroachment Permit was to allow parking of film production vehicles along the Casey Road frontage of the High School from January 30th through February 19th. A copy of the Encroachment Permit is enclosed for your reference . 2 . The Encroachment Permit fee is $116 . In addition, the filming company deposited a total of $13 , 750 to pay for the services of Sheriff' s Deputies as well as a security deposit against any possible damage that may occur to public property as a result of their operations . 3 . When film company vehicles were parked along Casey Road, the Sheriff' s Deputies and the City Public Works Inspector observed and measured a clearance of 20 feet remaining on Casey Road. This is sufficient width to enable conventionally sized vehicles to pass one another in opposite directions . 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805)529-6864 Page -2- 4 . The damage to Joe Latunski ' s water meter was not done by a movie company vehicle . The damage occurred when a long horse trailer , which was being towed by a friend of a nearby resident , damaged the meter and/or piping. It is our under- standing that the film company representative , as the result of our notifying him of the incident , is offering to reimburse Mr. Latunski for the expenses even though the film company is not directly responsible . 5 . The City Public Works Inspector , on two occasions , inspected the Casey Road paving to determine if there was any damage done by the filming operations . In both instances , he reports that there is no observed damage. While trailers were parked along the street , he observed that wood planking was placed under the trailer tongues to avoid any damage to the paving . 6 . The filming company representative indicates that the curb will be painted red in the near future . He has been attempting to arrange for an outside contractor to paint the curbing. 7 . The High School is the main beneficiary of the establishment of the "No Parking" along the High School frontage . The filming represented an unexpected opportunity for revenue to the school as well as the added benefit of enabling students to experience first hand, the production of a motion picture . Lt . Wells reports that the filming company is one of the most cooperative that he has experienced and found them to be very responsive to reacting to requests made by he and his deputies during the filming operations . Likewise , the City Engineer' s staff also is pleased with the filming company' s attitude of cooperation. RDD : lb Encl . cc : Lt .

L LION'S GATE FILMS Lt. Arve Wells East Valley Sheriff 2201 E. Olsen Rd Simi, CA 93065 Re: "THE BEST OF TIMES"/Moorpark High School Dear Lt. Wells : 12/31/84 Following up on our conversation of last Friday, we are requesting the assistance of the Sheriff ' s Department in the filming of the feature film "THE BEST OF TIMES" . For your information, I have enclosed a basic fact list on the film. While in Moorpark, we will oe filming at the high school from Thursday, 1/31/85 until Tuesday, 2/19/85. We have no plans to be filming on the streets at all. All of our work will be at the school, specifically at the Gym, outside the Gym, in the schoolyard, and at the Football Field. We are applying to the City for an encroachment permit in order to park our production vehicles on Casey Road, west of Walnut Street. It is our intent to have our extras/audience during the football sequences park at a location away from the school and bus everyone to the field. Our shooting schedule is as follows, times approximate as of tnis writing: Thurs & Fri 1/30 and 2/1 = Gym interior, 7 :00am to 7 :00pm Mon, 2/4 = Field, noon to midnight Tues, 2/5 through Fri, 2/15 = Field, 3 :uOpm to 5 :00am Mon, 2/18 & Tues, 2/19 = Schoolyard, 7 :00am to 7 :00pm On about six to seven of the field nights, we will hopefully have an audience of between 500 and 1 ,500 ; the majority of these people will be gone by 11 :00pm. As we discussed, we need your assistance_ It is our desire, and that of the uity' s (I imagine) , to hire your officers (number to be determined) for security while we are at the school. You indicated that the city would bill us for the service at a rate of approximately 4;21. 00 to $23. 00 per hour per officer and that a deposit would be required. We foresee no problems with this structure. I will be speaking with you witnin the next day or two to try and expand upon this brief description. 1861 South Bundy Drive Los Angeles.
