CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT . —1 • I c� • Q 8_
CITY OF MOORPARK ACTION:
A„E M r o t/
The Honorable City Council BY
Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services +yk-
July 6, 1998 (CC Meeting of July 15, 1998)
Consider Request to Waive Park Rental Fees
The City is in receipt of a letter from the Moorpark Sharks, a girls fastpitch softball traveling
team, requesting a waiver of fees for the use of the two softball fields at Arroyo Vista Community
Park (see Attachment A). The team plans to host a softball tournament on Sunday, July 26
between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., in an effort to raise money to travel to Steamboat,
Colorado to participate in a national softball tournament.
Additionally, the Sharks have indicated that they will perform field preparations themselves, but
are asking for the use of the City's preparation equipment (drag) at no cost. They will also supply
their own bases. The Sharks do not require the use of the snack bar.
The fee established by the City Council for use of a softball field by a Moorpark non -profit
organization is $10 an hour for activities involving 50 or less participants, and $15 an hour for
activities involving more that 50 participants. If the request for the fee waiver is not granted, the
fees for the use of both fields by the Moorpark Sharks would total between $200 and $300.
In the past, the City Council has approved fee waiver requests for the use of the City's softball
fields and field preparation equipment for fundraising tournaments sponsored by the Moorpark
Kiwanis.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the request by the Moorpark Sharks Fastpitch
Softball Team to waive the use fee for the two softball fields and the City's field preparation
equipment for Saturday, July 26.

To Whom It May Concern:
SUBJECT: ARROYO VISTA SOFTBALL FIELDS
The Southern California Shark Fastpitch Girls Softball Association is based out of Moorpark. We
currently use one of the Arroyo Vista softball fields for our practices. The team travels throughout the
state of California playing at various sites against many teams.
The Sharks recently qualified to participate in a Triple Crown National Tournament in Steamboat,
Colorado. In an effort to raise money for the girls to travel to this tournament, we would like to host a few
teams from out of the area on our home fields on July 26, 1998. As this would be a moneymaking effort, I
would like to request the charges for the fields be waived. We would be using both fields from
approximately 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Please feel free to contact me at 805 529 -7181 with any questions you many have. I look forward to hearing
from you.
Very truly yours,
