MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL Acle°
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Community Services Manag
DATE: January 8, 2018 (CC Meeting of 1/17/18)
SUBJECT: Consider Operating Agreement with the Moorpark Foundation for the
Arts
BACKGROUND
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark (Agency) acquired the High Street
Arts Center at 45 High Street ("HSAC") on August 1, 2005, in an effort to preserve a
venue for live performances in the downtown. On February 1, 2012 the State of
California eliminated Redevelopment Agencies and responsibility for Agency assets fell
to the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark
(Successor Agency). On June 6, 2012, the Successor Agency approved an operating
agreement with the Moorpark Foundation for the Arts (Foundation) for a three year term
beginning in July 2012. On July 1, 2014, the Successor Agency transferred the
properties at 45 High Street, 33 High Street and 782 Moorpark Avenue to the City of
Moorpark for management and disposal in accordance with the adopted Long Range
Property Management Plan. Since the properties have been transferred to the City, the
City Council is the proper reviewing authority for the Operating Agreement.
In July 2015, the City Council approved a new operating agreement with the Foundation
for a three year term beginning July 1, 2015. In April 2016, the Operating Agreement
was amended to add the property at 61 High Street, which was purchased by the City in
support of HSAC Operations. The amendment added the requirement for.a rental
payment of $3,000/month for 61 High Street, and to make some other minor
amendments regarding technology use and naming rights. In March 2017, the property
at 782 Moorpark Avenue was sold to the Area Housing Authority for the Walnut Street
Apartments project. Subsequent to that escrow closing, the City purchased the property
at 31 Poindexter Avenue and the Foundation moved the operations from 782 Moorpark
Avenue into the property at 31 Poindexter Avenue.
As a reminder, the Foundation was established in September 2009 by the City of
Moorpark and the Foundation has since become independent of the City both

administratively and financially. The purpose of the Foundation is to support and
promote the growth and enjoyment of the performing and visual arts in the City of
Moorpark. The Foundation is continuously seeking and securing funding through private
donations, private and public grants, and other available sources to provide financial
support to the High Street Arts Center and reduce the required financial contribution
from the City of Moorpark. The Foundation also makes financial assistance available to
diverse groups and individuals within our community, encouraging access and
participation in the visual and performing arts.
DISCUSSION
Staff has drafted a new Operating Agreement, in advance of the termination of the
current agreement for ease of management and to make the following substantive
changes:
• Add use of 31 Poindexter: As stated, the Foundation moved in to the site at 31
Poindexter after the site at 782 Moorpark Avenue was purchased by the Area
Housing Authority. The new Agreement addresses the Foundation's use of the
property along with expectations for the City's future use of the property.
• Requirement to Adopt a Capital Improvement Program(CIP): The Foundation
has been saving funds to be used for future capital improvements to the HSAC
that will improve both the look and utility of the HSAC and enhance the
Theatergoers experience. Under the current Agreement, any improvements that
the Foundation wants to make, have to be submitted individually to the City for
approval by the City Manager. Under the new Agreement, the Foundation will be
required to prepare an annual capital improvement program that would outline
the capital improvements that they'd like to perform for that fiscal year and
associated costs. The Foundation Board would approve the document, which
would then be submitted to the City Council. Once approved by the City Council,
the Foundation would be able to make the improvements noted in the report,
without individual approval from the City Manager. They would have to notify the
City when they are undertaking those improvements. No improvements, outside
the approved CIP, can be undertaken without City Council authorization.
Reporting requirements have also been added and are discussed in more detail
below.
• Requires Notification of Certain Types of Rentalsand requirement that revenue
be Placed in Capital Improvement.Fund: The rental of the HSAC to the Disney
Company for the Magic Camp Production netted the Foundation approximately
$70,000.in cash. City staff was unaware of the total of the rental fees that Disney
paid for the HSAC. The Foundation then took some of those funds for
enhancements to the Theater and their operations. In light of this, and in
conjunction with the above mentioned Capital Improvement Program, Section 7
2
Honorable City Council
January 17, 2018
Page 3
of the Operating Agreement has been modified to state that the Foundation may
retain revenues, less reasonable expenses, for private rentals up to $5,000. Any
revenues over $5,000 must be placed in the CIP account to be used on
approved CIP projects. Any film production rentals at the HSAC for which a City-
issued film permit is required, must be pre-approved by the City, prior to
Foundation signing a rental agreement. The Agreement also requires that the
Foundation report on the balance and use of the Capital Improvement Funds in
their bi-annual reporting in fulfillment of the Capital Improvement Program.
Under the Agreement, the City will continue to provide major maintenance and repairs
to the HSAC, 33 High Street, 61 High Street, and 31 Poindexter; the City will provide
solid waste and recycling services at the HSAC. The Foundation will use the trash
service at the HSAC for 33 High Street and 61 High Street. When trash service is
needed at 31 Poindexter Avenue due to set building activities, the Foundation will rent a
temporary bin; and the City will continue to maintain liability insurance on all properties.
The Foundation is still required to produce a minimum of 5 main stage productions,
conduct one youth musical theater camp, make the HSAC available to the City of
Moorpark for 8 events each fiscal year, including Moorpark Has Talent, and report to the
City semi-annually on their progress.
FISCAL IMPACT
It was anticipated that the previous Operating Agreement would cost the City $21,700 in
maintenance and insurance annually. Over the last two years, maintenance costs at the
HSAC and 61 High Street have cost a total of $23,300 for both sites, per year. The
costs were slightly higher than staffs estimate due to testing for asbestos related
materials which was required by the JPIA and replacement of the Fire Alarm System at
the HSAC. As these were one-time expenditures, absent further unforeseen major
repairs, we expect these costs to be lower during the next term of the Operating
Agreement. The Foundation has also been paying $3,000 per month rent for 61 High
Street, bringing in $72,000 in rent revenue, which is being allocated to the Endowment
Fund to repay the costs of the purchase of 61 High Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve Operating Agreement with the Moorpark Foundation for the Arts, for a.three-
year term beginning January 1, 2018, and authorize the City Manager to sign the
Agreement, subject to final language approval of the City Manager.

EXHIBIT A
Insurance Requirements
Foundation as operator will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements
set forth below. Foundation will use existing coverage to comply with these
requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here,
Foundation agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so.
Foundation acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this
section constitute the minimum amount of coverage. required. Any insurance proceeds
available to CITY in excess of the limits and coverage required in this Agreement and
which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to CITY.
Foundation shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial
General Liability" policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense costs must be
paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for claims or suits by
one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in aggregate.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including
symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no
event to be less than $1,000,000 per accident and $2,000,000 in aggregate. If•
Foundation owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto
endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If Foundation or
Foundation's employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, Foundation
shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person.
Worker's Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as
required by law with employer's liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or
disease.
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are
admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A.M. Bests rating of A- or better
and a minimum financial size VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Foundation.
Foundation and CITY agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Foundation:
1. Foundation agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds CITY, its officials,
employees, servants, agents, and independent consultants ("CITY indemnities"),
using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2011 with an edition prior to 1996.
23
Foundation also agrees to require all contractors and subcontractors working on
the Premise to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Foundation, or Foundation's agents, from waiving the right of subrogation
prior to a loss. Foundation agrees to waive subrogation rights against CITY
regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all
contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Foundation and available or
applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement-relating to
the CITY or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not
been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for
bodily injury to an employee of the insured or any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification, and
additional requirements by the CITY, as the need arises. Foundation shall not
make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability
or reduction of discovery period) that may affect CITY'S protection without
CITY'S prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Foundation's general liability policy, shall be delivered to CITY at
or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any
insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled
at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, CITY has the right, but not
the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under
this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by
CITY shall be charged to and promptly paid by Foundation or deducted from
sums due Foundation, at CITY's option.
8. Certificates are to reflect that the insurer will provide Thirty (30) day notice to
CITY of any cancellation of coverage. Foundation agrees to require its insurer to
modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of
the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that •
any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the
requirements of the certificate.
24
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Foundation, is intended to apply first and on a
primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-
insurance available to CITY.
10. Foundation agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party entering
onto the Premises, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of
Foundation. Foundation agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and
assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in
conformity with the requirements of this section. Foundation agrees that upon
request, all agreements with subcontractors and other parties entering onto the
Premises will be submitted to CITY for review.
11. Foundation agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retention or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees
that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, or other entity or person
entering onto the Premises to self-insure its obligations to CITY. If Foundation's
existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention; the deductible
or self-insured retention must be declared to the CITY. At that time the CITY shall
review options with the Foundation, which may include reduction or elimination of
the deductible of self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.
12. For purposes of applying insurance coverage, only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any
steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this
Agreement.
13. Foundation acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the
part of the CITY to inform Foundation of non-compliance with any insurance
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on CITY nor does it
waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
14. Foundation will renew the required coverage annually as long as CITY, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to
this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled
or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until
CITY executes a written statement to that effect.
15. Foundation shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring
during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other
policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has
been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter
from Foundation's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of
25
insurance and/or additional insured endorsement is required in these
specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to
CITY within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
16. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Foundation under this Agreement. Foundation expressly agrees
not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to
CITY, its employees, officials, and agents.
17. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are
not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a
waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference
to a give coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue, and is not intended by any party of insured to be limiting or all-
inclusive.
18. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such. -
19. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of
this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or
impairs the provisions of this Section.
20. Foundation agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any
party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge CITY or
Foundation for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to the CITY. It
is not the intent of CITY to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying
with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against CITY for payment of
premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
21. Foundation agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss
against Foundation arising out of the lease of the Premises. CITY assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor
the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.
