AGENDA REPORT BY: — --
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
PREPARED BY: Jennifer Mellon, Recreation and Community Services Manager
DATE: August 10, 2016 (CC Meeting of 09/07/16)
SUBJECT: Consider Request from Relay for Life to Co-Sponsor the 2017
Relay for Life Event
BACKGROUND
Relay for Life (Relay) is an event that celebrates the lives of people who have battled
cancer, remembers loved ones, and fights back against the disease. Relay is an
overnight event in which teams of participants spend 24-hours walking around a pre-
determined course. The event also includes food, games, entertainment, and
fundraising opportunities plus a cancer survivor's lap and a luminaria ceremony.
Prior to 2013, the Relay event was held at the Moorpark High School stadium; however,
with the installation of artificial turf, the venue is no longer able to accommodate the
event. Relay event organizers requested the use of Arroyo Vista Community Park
(AVCP), to hold this event annually since 2013.
For the past four years, the City Council has been asked to consider a request from the
American Cancer Society's Relay for Life to co-sponsor the Moorpark event. This
includes waiving park rental fees and allowing AVCP to remain open overnight. This
request has been brought before the Council because: 1) It is not eligible for a fee
waiver under Council Policy 6.2: Non-Profit Organization Annual Facility Reservation
Policy (this policy applies only to events of twelve (12) hours or less in duration, and the
Relay runs for twenty-four (24) hours); and 2) The event requires the park to remain
open overnight (per MMC 12.16.020, Hours of operation, the park is closed between
10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.). The City Council approved co-sponsoring the 2013, 2014,
2015, and 2016 events.
DISCUSSION
The City Council is being asked to consider a request from the American-Cancer
Society's Relay for Life (Relay) again this year to co-sponsor the 2017 Moorpark event,
260
Honorable City Council
Regular Meeting of September 7, 2016
Page 2
which will be held from Friday, May 5 through Sunday, May 7, 2017. The request
includes waiving park rental fees for the event and allowing AVCP to remain open
overnight during the event. Relay requests use of Luminaria bags around the "track" for
Saturday's ceremony using electric votive candles. Also included is a request for the
use of a private security company to monitor the event site and equipment from 10:00
p.m. Friday, May 5, 2017, through 6:00 a.m. Saturday, May 6, 2017, in addition to the
City's requirement to provide security service throughout the evening hours from 10:00
p.m. Saturday, May 6, through 6:00 a.m. Sunday, May 7, 2016.
Staff recommends allowing use of the east end of AVCP (fields 8-11, the Peppertree
Pavilion, restrooms, and parking lot) and waiving associated rental fees for the 2017
event, with the stipulation that the Parks and Recreation Director must approve the
event site map to ensure the impact on nearby residents is minimized.
Any other condition or request by Relay will need to be submitted in writing and
approved by the City Manager or his designee.
Conditions that the Relay will be required to meet include the following:
1. Relay shall be required to maintain a minimum of ten volunteer staff during all
hours of the event.
2. Relay shall contract with a local security company to oversee the event from
10:00 p.m. Friday, May 5, 2017 through 6:00 a.m. Sunday, May 7, 2017, and
shall submit a copy of the Agreement to the City 30 days prior to the event. The
park gates shall remain locked on Friday night through Saturday morning
between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
3. Relay shall designate security guards and/or volunteers to monitor the top gate at
AVCP from 10:00 p.m. Saturday, through 6:00 a.m. Sunday. Only individuals
involved with the event shall be allowed to enter the park during this time.
4. Relay shall provide additional trash service. Trash service shall be provided by
the City's contract waste hauler.
5. Relay shall follow the City's sign ordinance for any temporary signage required
for this event.
6. Relay shall provide the City with proof of general liability insurance coverage, and
name the City as additional insured, per the City's standard contract agreement.
7. Relay shall pay the direct costs associated with the staffing needs during Relay's
use of AVCP consistent with the Park Rental Fees Resolution (Res. No. 2015-
3418) and the Staff Billing Rates Resolution (Res. No. 2015-3383). The part time
staff billing rate is currently $35/hour. Part time staff will be assigned to this
event from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and from 8:00 a.m. to noon on
Sunday, and at additional times if determined necessary by the Parks and
Recreation Director.
8. Amplified sound shall be maintained at a noise level that is in compliance with
Moorpark Municipal Code Chapter 17.53 (Noise), and will not be permitted from
10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
261
Honorable City Council
Regular Meeting of September 7, 2016
Page 3
9. Relay shall install four portable light towers that shall remain on from dusk to
dawn. An exception shall be given for the duration of the luminaria ceremony, in
which case only the lights directed towards the parking lot shall be required to
remain on. The final locations of the light towers shall be approved by the Parks
and Recreation Director.
In summary, staff recommends waiving regular park rental fees for this community
event and recouping only the City's direct costs, including the part-time staff costs
described above. Staff also recommends allowing the park to remain open overnight to
accommodate the 24-hour event and allowing Relay to provide security service during
the evening hours from 10:00 p.m. Friday, May 5, 2017, through 6:00 a.m. Saturday,
May 6, 2017, in addition to the general conditions established by the City for this event.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will waive the regular park rental fees and absorb overhead and management
staff costs associated with use of City facilities, as well as processing of the use permit.
It should be noted that waiving the rental fees for the use of athletic fields 8-11 and the
Peppertree Pavilion for this 24-hour event, will result in a loss of revenue totaling
$6,680.
The American Cancer Society will reimburse the City for the direct costs associated with
this event, including but not limited to, part-time staffing during the event.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1) Approve the request from Relay for Life to co-sponsor the event as described in this
report, and waive park rental fees associated with the Relay for Life, subject to
reimbursement of City's direct costs.
2) Authorize City Manager to approve modified hours of operation for Arroyo Vista
Community Park from 10:00 p.m. on 5/6/17 to 6:00 a.m. on 5/7/17, as a condition of the
rental permit for Relay for Life's event.
3) Authorize Relay for Life to post private security at the event site within Arroyo Vista
•Community Park from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on 5/5/17 through 511/17.
4) Authorize City Manager or City Manager's designee to set other conditions or
requirements as may be determined necessary.

cancer, supports and celebrates cancer survivors, and helps to promote the work of the

civic groups, and families. These team members take turns walking around the event for
24 hours in the Relay. At least one team member is moving at all times during the event,
by walking,jogging, or running. The first lap honor cancer survivors and caregivers, and
then the teams begin the Relay.
During Relay, a community/party atmosphere is created by team members camping out
on the site and by enjoying entertainment, food, games, and camaraderie. Awards are
given for spirited campsites as well as top fundraisers. A special Luminaria Ceremony
after dark honors those who have survived,and remembers those who have not.
Moorpark's Relay for Life will be celebrating its 17th year in 2017. So far, our
community has raised over$1.8 million to battle against cancer.
