DEFERRED MATTERS <br />8. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION <br />A. Conejo Creek North/South Very Large Event Policy <br />Friedl discussed Conejo Creek North and South and the necessity for the formation <br />of a policy regarding their use for very large events. He reviewed the current permit <br />process used for larger events and how these events can affect parking, the Teen <br />Center, the Goebel Adult Community Center and the Thousand Oaks Library. <br />Currently, there are four very large events held each year: Persian New Year and <br />the Chili Cook Off at Conejo Creek North and Conejo Valley Days and the Oakheart <br />Country Music Festival at Conejo Creek South. The Board of Directors determines <br />whether or not to permit these very large events. Coordination with various other <br />entities is necessary and a large amount of staff time is expended. Last fall an ad <br />hoc committee (Huffer, Gibson) was formed to look at these issues including the <br />impacts to the public facilities and the neighbors. A proposal was made to limit the <br />number of very large events to a fixed number and grandfather those that already <br />occur (which are listed above). This suggested policy will be brought to the Board <br />for possible adoption later this year; discussion ensued. Friedl thanked the Board for <br />the comments and insight. A policy will be drafted and presented to the Board in the <br />near future. <br />9. NEW ITEMS <br />A.

He reported that the community has <br />been very understanding of the District's efforts at balancing water conservation with <br />providing high quality turf. He provided some examples of recent turf conversions <br />and some statistics regarding costs and water savings. Hare was thanked for his <br />
