••- 7, 2021 Page 3 D. Recreation Highlights 11. DEPARTMENT REPORTS A. Parks Division Report Hare reported the Dog Park Ribbon Cutting will be on Saturday, October 23rd at 9:00am; the park will reopen on Monday, October 18th. The Conejo Creek Southwest (CCSW) groundbreaking will also be on Saturday October 23rd at 1 1:00am with lunch provided by the Kiwanis Club of Thousand Oaks. There was a pre -construction meeting at CCSW with the contractor this morning; they are ready to go, and work will likely begin on October 25th. Staff is conducting some neighborhood meetings at Lynn Oaks Neighborhood Park; the property is being leased by CVUSD. There are four vacant acres and staff is seeking feedback from neighbors on possible uses. Although there is no money budgeted for this project, having a project "shelf -ready" would be nice to have for when the funds become available, similar to what was done at Banyan Park. So far, meetings are set for Wednesday, October 20that6:00pm and Saturday, October 23rd at 1:30pm; Board members are welcome to attend The Rancho Potrero Area #1 project is about halfway done. It's going well and should be completed in late November. Hare reminded Board members this project is being funded by a grant from the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. A grand opening will likely be held in early 2022. There was a job walk for the Teen and Goebel Adult Community Center Project re -bid (which was not mandatory for previous bidders.) An additional six or seven new companies were represented (about 23 came to the initial job walk and there were seven bids.) Hare hopes to bring an award recommendation to the Board on November 4th. For the Conejo Community Center project, the hope is to go to the Planning Commission this fall; therefore, a 4' by 8' foot sign is on site with a notice of the hearing; it will be removed after the hearing has occurred. On Saturday, November 13th, there will be a cornhole tournament — CRPD vs. CVUSD at Sapwi Trails Community Park. It will be a round robin and Board members are encouraged to participate. The Board can expect to receive an email from Hare with more details. B.
