AGENDA REPORT By.
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director �
BY: Jennifer Mellon, Recreation and Community Services Manager
DATE: April 5, 2016 (CC Meeting of 4/20/14)
SUBJECT: Consider Approval to Modify the Hours of the Skate Park
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City of Moorpark Recreation Division is requesting City Council approval of
modified hours for the Skate Park for two Saturday evenings in the summer for Skate
Nights. On Saturday, June 11, 2016 as the kick-off to summer vacation and again on
Saturday, August 13, 2016 just before school goes back into session. The Recreation
Division is requesting to keep the skate park open until 10:00 p.m. and install the City
owned portable lights to illuminate the skate park. These events will be publicized as
Skate Nights. The skate park will not be staffed, as the intent of Skate Nights is simply
to provide the skateboarding community an opportunity to utilize the skate park during
the evening hours. Staff intends to provide music and food opportunities in the open
turf area adjacent to the skate park.
Per the Moorpark Municipal Code Section 12.16.190(D) the Skate facility hours of
operation are established by Section 12.16.020, which states that "A park or open
space without lighted facilities or structures shall be closed from sunset to six (6:00)
a.m." Staff is requesting the City Council make exception to the hours of operation by
allowing the City to illuminate the facility and keep it open until 10:00 p.m. for the two
specific nights referenced above.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for Skate Nights has been provided in the FY 15/16 budget and is proposed to
be included in the FY 16/17 budget for general teen events.
