Attachments A and B, are copies of the proposed Ordinance and Resolution revisions shown in legislative format, illustrating the existing language and the changes being recommended. DISCUSSION The City's parks are currently open for public use between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; park restrooms are closed at dusk(except when City sponsored and organized sports activities are scheduled). While the public can use the parks after dusk, the City's current policy restricts the reservation of park amenities to between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. or dusk, whichever occurs earlier (again with the exception of organized sports activities). There have been a growing number of concerns from citizens and staff about activity after dark in parks with unlit amenities. Staff is of the opinion that there is no need or reason for anyone to be a park after dusk, unless they are using a lighted amenity and/or participating in an organized activity approved by the City. Staff recommends that parks close at dusk with the exception of those with lighted amenities. Lighted park amenities which encompass lighted ball fields, tennis courts, gymnasium, and recreation center would remain open until 10 p.m. The Arroyo Vista Recreation Center office will continue to close at 6 p.m., but the building may remain open up until 10 p.m. for any scheduled activity. 000002 Honorable City Council September 19, 2007 Page 2 The City's basketball courts are generally situated closer to homes than are its tennis courts and ball fields. To mitigate evening noise, it is recommended that lighted basketball courts remain available for public use only until 9 pm. In addition to the court at College View Park, this provision covers the courts at Peach Hill Park and Mountain Meadows Park, both of which are budgeted for the installation of lights this fiscal year. In addition to hours of operation, staff proposes language to address for-profit and filming activities in City parks. The Code is currently silent on these types of activities in the parks. Staff is recommending language requiring all for-profit and all filming activity, except filming for individual, non commercial purposes, to apply for, and receive a park rental permit. The process would also require the applicant to apply for filming permit though the Community Development Department. Before the Community Development Department issues the permit, the applicant must secure a Park Rental Permit and pay all applicable Park Rental fees. In addition to obtaining park rental use fees, this process will ensure that the City secures necessary waivers, hold harmless agreements, and insurance coverage naming the City has additionally insured that is expected of all other filming activities conducted in the City. The Parks and Recreation Commission considered these changes at their May 7, 2007, meeting and concurs with staff's recommendation. Both of the aforementioned changes (hour of operation and for-profit activities) require revisions to the City Code and Park Policy. There are other minor changes being recommended for clarification and consistency between the Code and Park Policy. Following the Commission's May 7, 2007, meeting, staff identified additional desired revisions to the Park Policy. A recently adopted state Integrated Waste Management regulation requires jurisdictions to establish recycling programs for large events that charge an admission fee and attract 2,000 participants or more. For the City, this includes the July 3 Fireworks Event in addition to a number of youth sports tournaments held at AVCP. Staff proposes charging a tournament host (renter) a fee to cover the cost of renting an additional recycling bin from our solid waste hauler and for the use of individual recycling containers and bags to be placed throughout the park during the rental. The renter will also be responsible for collecting the recyclables and disposing of them in the recycling bin. The City will coordinate arrangements for delivery and removal of the recycling bin. Additionally, the City was approached by a non-Moorpark youth soccer organization about the use of Peach Hill and Mountain Meadows Park as one of many locations within Southern California to host portions of a regional tournament. The rental request extended over approximately eight weekends. The current policy does not prohibit such a rental and the rental request was granted. To mitigate the impact on residents surrounding neighborhood parks, staff is proposing limiting youth and adult sports tournaments to AVCP, which is best suited to accommodate such activities with little or no impact on surrounding residents. It is proposed that an exception be provided for tournaments hosted by Moorpark based sports organizations, with the approval of the Director, when the SACommunity Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\CC Reports\2007\9-19-07 (Ammend Park Ordinance).doc ()00 0 � Honorable City Council September 19, 2007 Page 3 tournament is limited to no more than three consecutive days and the activity does not adversely impact surrounding residents. This is consistent with the previous actions of the City Council to allow Girls Softball and Moorpark Kiwanis to use Mountain Meadows Park for their annual softball tournament. The draft ordinance attached to this report has been reviewed by the City Attorney. STAFF RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call Vote Required) 1.
