AGENDA REPORT
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director's
PREPARED BY: Stephanie Anderson, Recreation Services Manager
DATE: September 20, 2017 (Meeting of October 2, 2017)
SUBJECT: Consider Moorpark Arts Festival Event Alternatives
BACKGROUND
The history of the Moorpark Arts Festival is unclear. Local historians reference its origin
- as sometime between 1930 and the 1960's. Although it is unclear when it began, the
event was an important part of Moorpark's history, established well before the City
incorporated in 1983. After many years of variable success, the event was cancelled.
In 2003 the festival was revived by a committee of local volunteers. The event was held
in October in conjunction with the Ventura County Arts Council's Arts Week. Event
activities were located at multiple venues in the Civic Center and on High Street. In
2007, the City Council expressed a desire to rekindle the event and directed City staff to
assume responsibility for the continued planning, staffing and general organization of
the festival. The event was moved from October to May due to conflicts with other City
events, and moved again in 2009 from May to April in order to avoid competition with
other arts-related events in east Ventura County. .
From 2007 through 2010, the event was coordinated by the Active Adult Center
Supervisor with assistance from Recreation Division staff. In 2011, the Recreation
Division assumed full responsibility for coordinating the event. In 2012, the entire event
was moved to High Street to consolidate the event venue. For the past few years,
activities at the Arts Festival have included art exhibitions (adult and youth), a craft fair,
hands-on art activities, food booths, and live performances. For a variety of factors,
•
including declining attendance at the event, logistical challenges with the event venue,
and full-time staff shortages in the Recreation Division, the 2016 and 2017 events were
cancelled.

DISCUSSION
As the only City sponsored event focused primarily on celebrating the arts, the
Moorpark Arts Festival was an important program to the City. The City desires to bring
the festival back in some form, in order to continue to have an event that celebrates
creativity and the arts. However, due to the low participation of fine art vendors over the
last five years that the event was held, staff believes that the fine art community in
Moorpark is limited, or they are unwilling to participate in the event for unknown
reasons. In an effort to appeal to a broader section of the creative community, hand-
made arts and crafts vendors were also accepted during the last five years of the event.
This too had limited success, peaking at 34 vendors in 2014. The event's attendance,
revenue, and participation history is below:

**Estimated
In addition to the limited scope, and therefore limited appeal of the Arts Festival to the
Moorpark demographic, other areas that need consideration in order to revitalize or
reinvent the event were discussed in the 2015 staff report requesting cancellation of the
2016 Arts Festival. These areas included:
• Location: Although holding the Arts Festival on High Street brings an event to
the downtown area and showcases the High Street Arts Center, the venue has
several disadvantages, including limited indoor space for expansion of art
displays, extensive staff time for set-up and clean-up of the venue, and
significant costs to close the street for the event. Alternative locations should be
considered, such as the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center, the Community Park or
the Community Center/Civic Center.
• Schedule: The Arts Festival is currently held in April. Although the event was
moved in 2007 from the fall to the spring to avoid conflicts with other fall events,
the Arts Festival now conflicts with or is in competition with a variety of spring
events, including several arts events throughout the County, which outweigh the
benefits of the schedule change that was made in 2007. The time of year the
event is held should be reconsidered.

• Expansion: Currently, only vendors that create hand-crafted items are accepted
for the venue. Allowing a more diverse combination of vendors to participate may
increase vendor participation and make the event more attractive to a wider
audience. The festival may also be expanded to include a variety of recreational
activities, such as game booths, an expanded food court or other attractions.
As mentioned earlier, vacancies in full-time staff positions in the Recreation Division
contributed to the cancellation of the 2016 and 2017 Arts Festival events. At this time,
the Recreation Division is fully staffed and the Division intends to reinstate the Arts
Festival, or launch another event celebrating the arts, in the spring or fall of 2018. In
order to do so, the event concept must be clear so planning and i-esearch can begin
within the next few weeks. $4,000 in funding for this event has been included in the FY
2017/18 budget.
Some of the ideas and alternatives for the Arts Festival include:
1) Maintaining the core concept of a fine arts festival, and working to increase
interest and participation in the event.
2) Expanding the concept to include a celebration of creativity in general. For
example, the Pittsburgh Technology Council hosts a festival called CREATE!,
which is a creative industries event celebrating innovation and creativity. It
includes elements of art, music, design, and technology.
3) Broadening the appeal of the event by transforming it into a cultural arts festival:
A cultural arts festival could include many of the elements of the current Arts
Festival, such as craft vendors, art displays, music, dance, and food vendors, but
may be more appealing to a broader demographic.
Staff recommends the third option, a cultural arts festival. A cultural arts festival will
appeal to a broader audience than a fine arts festival, while still allowing a focus on art,
music and dance. Food vendors could be enhanced to feature specific ethnic cuisines.
Other activities could include genealogy booths, informational booths from local cultural
. organizations, and a children's area featuring games and crafts from around the world.
If launching a cultural arts event, a name for the event would need to be established.
Ideas for names include:
•
• Moorpark Cultural Arts Festival
• Moorpark Multicultural Festival
• Wonders of the World Cultural Arts Festival
• World Flavors Festival •
• Eat to the Beat Art, Music, and Food Fair
Staff recommends "Moorpark Multicultural Festival". The name is concise and relates
specifically to the theme of the event.

It should be noted that in 1995 and 1996, the City sponsored a World Fest event at the
Arroyo Vista Community Park. The event was held in May and included a Worldfest
Bazaar (a marketplace of vendors offering unique and unusual items), International
Food Fair (food vendors offering exotic and popular cuisine), Children's Worldfest Art
Festival (display of youth art from local schools), and a Children's Corner (attractions
and carnival games) and well as live entertainment including music, dance, and a
puppet show. The event was cancelled after two years, primarily because of poor
attendance attributed to too many competing events in May.
Like WorldFest, holding the Arts Festival in May also appeared to negatively affect the
event, as described earlier in this report. However, in selecting a date for an event, it is
important to consider other large-scale events that are held in the area. Community
events currently held in the Moorpark area in the calendar year 2018 include the
following (some dates are tentative):
February 3 Groundhog Day Run, Moorpark High School
March 23 Moorpark Has Talent, High Street Arts Center
March 17 & 18 Civil War Reenactment, north of Moorpark Post Office
March 31 Easter Egg Hunt, Arroyo Vista Community Park
July 3 Fireworks Extravaganza
October 1-31 Harvest Festival, Underwood Farms
October 6 Country Days, High Street
October 7 Mammoth Run, Mammoth Highlands Park
October 31 Haunted High Street, High Street
December 15 Breakfast With Santa, Arroyo Vista Recreation Center
Additionally, a number of successful cultural arts, multicultural, and ethnic festivals are
currently held in the area, including the following:
Event Location Month Dajl(iti Admission
Cajun Festival Rancho Santa SusanaPark May Saturday,Sunday $20.00-$35.00
Children's Multicultural Bookfest Camarillo Community Center November Saturday Free

Ventura County Greek Festival Camarillo Airport June Friday,Saturday,Sunday $3.00

Based on the current large-scale events held in Moorpark, as well as cultural events
held here and in nearby communities, staff recommends keeping the event in the spring
and scheduling it in early May, preferably the first Saturday. This date would avoid
conflicts with other cultural arts festivals or any currently scheduled City-sponsored
events. Other events in the local area in May include the Oxnard Strawberry Festival
(typically the third weekend in May), Simi Valley Street Fair, and Conejo Valley Days
(both typically the second weekend in May). Although there are other large events in the
area in May, staff feels that May would still be the best month to hold our event. Cinco
de Mayo is also held within the first week of May. However, staff believes that this
celebration may increase participation in a cultural arts type venue. It should be noted
that 2015 staff report recommended against holding the event in May, as this date
conflicted with several other art festivals in the area. Staff has recently contacted the
City of Thousand Oaks and the City of Simi Valley regarding the fine arts festivals
planned in prior years by these organizations, and was informed that these two
organizations will most likely not schedule a fine arts festival in 2018.
The final area to address is location. Although holding the Arts Festival on High Street
resulted in logistical challenges, as well as additional costs and staff time, the City
continues to find ways to support Moorpark's historic downtown area. The Recreation
Division's newest event, Haunted High Street, will be held on High Street on October
31. Staff recommends locating a cultural arts festival on High Street. With the focus
shifted from the fine arts, to a broader range of activities such as food and craft vendors,
music, dance, interactive activities, as well as maintaining a fine arts presence, staff
believes that High Street would be an excellent location for such an event.
In summary, staff recommends reinventing the Arts Festival and planning a cultural arts
festival in the spring of 2018. Staff recommends holding the event in May on High
Street and naming the event the Moorpark Multicultural Festival.
Staff Recommendation
Provide feedback on staffs recommendations for a cultural arts festival as described in
this report and direct staff to prepare a report for City Council.

ITEM 8.B
CITY OF MOORPARK
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION •
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Stephanie Anderson, Recreation Services Manager/c1
DATE: September 19, 2017 (Meeting of October 2, 2017)
SUBJECT: Consider Rules for Tennis Courts, Pickleball Courts, and Multi-use
Court
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City has thirteen tennis courts (eight at Arroyo Vista Community Park, two at Tierra
Rejada Park, two at Miller Park, and one at Mammoth Highlands Park), four pickleball
courts (at Tierra Rejada Park on a converted tennis court), and one multi-use court,
which is located at Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP). The Commission is being
asked to consider revised rules for the tennis courts and new rules for the pickleball
courts and multi-use court.
Prior to 1996, rules for the City's tennis courts were established. In 2008, the City
Council approved revised tennis court rules to clarify some of the rules and address the
issue of when play should begin and end. No fundamental changes are proposed to the
tennis court rules at this time; however the language has been revised to be more
concise and to group the rules into categories (Permitted Footwear, Permitted Activities,
Prohibited Items and Activities, Reservations, and Use of Court) for easier reading.
Language has been added to the rules to specify all the conditions under which a rental
permit is required. Additionally, the court times have been added to the rules. Because
the tennis courts at AVCP, Miller and Mammoth Highlands have lights, and the rental
permit requirements are different for these parks compared to all other parks, draft rules
for both parks with lights and parks without lights are attached.
In September of this year, four pickleball courts were opened at Tierra Rejada Park. The
pickleball courts were constructed on what was the third tennis court at Tierra Rejada
Park. Pickleball includes elements of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton and is played
with a paddle and perforated plastic ball.
With the opening of these new courts, rules need to be established. The rules in the
Permitted Footwear, Prohibited Items and Activities, and Reservations rule categories
are the same as those for tennis courts. For Permitted Activities, only pickleball will be
6
Parks&Recreation Commission

Page 2
allowed on the pickleball courts. The rules for Use of Court are similar to tennis, with
one important exception. Tennis play begins and ends on the hour when others are
waiting to use a court. Unlike the City's rule for tennis begin/end play, nearby pickleball
courts and communities end after one game to 11 points, win by 2. This is because
pickleball is generally a shorter and faster moving game than tennis. In order to be
consistent with the nearby established pickleball community, the pickleball rules as
proposed by staff call for play to end after one game to 11, win by 2, when others are
waiting to use a court. Alternatively, the Commission could recommend that play begin
and end on the hour, which would be consistent with current tennis rules. Draft
pickleball court rules are attached.
In 1995, a multi-use court was constructed at AVCP. When the court was constructed it
consisted of a 100' by 200' concrete slab. In 1996, the City purchased a portable
hockey border system and ran youth hockey leagues on the court, but discontinued the
City league after the summer of 1998 due to declining enrollment. In 1998, the City
entered into a lease agreement with Tri-Valley Roller Hockey (TVRH). TVRH made
several improvements to the court, including the installation of permanent dasher
boards and perimeter fencing, and ran hockey leagues on the court until early 2006. In
addition to roller hockey, the court was used as a skatepark from 1998 until 2008, with
the placement of portable ramps on the court one to two days per week.
Since 2008, the court had been in decline, and use was limited to occasional hockey,
skating, or lacrosse rental use. The multi-use court was recently renovated, with new
surfacing and the installation of four basketball standards. Additionally, the City has
entered into a new agreement with TVRH, with roller hockey leagues scheduled to
begin this fall.
As the court is now truly a multi-use court, rules for use of the court need to be
established. As with the tennis and pickleball court rules, rules for the multi-use court
have been grouped into Permitted Footwear, Permitted Activities, Prohibited Items and
Activities, Reservations, and Use of Court categories.
As presented, the Use of Court is essentially first-come, first served between basketball
and hockey, when not reserved by rental permit. For safety and liability reasons, staff
feels that basketball and hockey should not be played on the court at the same time.
The City of Calabasas has a similar multi-use court. In Calabasas, mixed use between
basketball and hockey is allowed during non-peak (weekday hours). During peak hours
(evenings and weekends), Calabasas has established priority times for basketball and
for hockey and mixed use is not allowed. Staff is seeking input from the Commission as
to whether a priority use schedule between basketball and hockey should be included in
the rules. For example:
Designated playing times for specific sports are as follows. Basketball is not
allowed during designated hockey times and hockey is not allowed during
designated basketball times.
