AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Shaun Kroes, Program Manager
DATE: May 21, 2018 (CC Meeting of 06/06/18)
SUBJECT: Consider Amend ment No. 4 to Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
Between the Cities of Moorpark and Simi Valley Continuing the
Authorization of Moorpark to Fuel Up to Three Compressed Natural
Gas (CNG) Buses at the Simi Valley Transit Maintenance Facility
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On June 15, 2009, the cities of Moorpark (Moorpark) and Simi Valley (Simi Valley)
entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) authorizing Moorpark to fuel up to
three CNG buses daily at the Simi Valley Transit Maintenance Facility, located at 490
W. Los Angeles Avenue in anticipation of Moorpark’s new CNG bus fleet. Moorpark’s
CNG buses began fueling at the Transit Maintenance Facility in October 2010.
Moorpark began using the City of Thousand Oaks (Thousand Oaks) for operation,
including fueling, of Moorpark’s CNG bus fleet in 2012. Moorpark and Simi Valley have
continued to renew the MOA, though, to keep Simi Valley as a potential fueling site in
the event Thousand Oaks is temporarily unable to fuel Moorpark’s buses. Moorpark
increased the CNG fleet size from 3 to 5 at the end of 2015; however, only 2 buses are
used a day and staff does not anticipate the need to fuel more than 3 buses per day.
Staff is requesting that City Council extend the MOA for another two years through June
30, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current method of Moorpark’s payments to Simi Valley for CNG bus fueling will
continue. Per the MOA, Moorpark reimburses Simi Valley for all applicable fuel and
fueling facility maintenance costs. There are no specific anticipated costs expected at
this time, because Moorpark only fuels at Simi Valley in the event Thousand Oaks’
fueling station is unavailable. Sufficient funding to cover costs for fuel are budgeted in

the current year fiscal year, and proposed in the FY 2018/19 budget
2001.430.P0011.54020 “City Transit – Natural Gas” in the amount of $60,000. Fund
2001 (Traffic Systems Management) is revenue collected from developer fees that can
be spent on projects that reduce emissions, such as operating CNG buses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
