BACKGROUND The Conejo Recreation and Park District provides developed parks and recreational facilities for the public to enjoy a variety of passive and active recreational activities. The overall park system is planned to serve people by offering various park -types within proximity of peoples' Gomes. (Ideally, everyone should sive within a 10 minute walk to a park (about Y2 mile)). The Conejo Recreation and Park District Master Plan follows a standard set forth by the National Recreation and Park Association, which sets a goal of 10 acres of parkland per 1,000 persons. These 10 acres are broken down into specific park types (Community Parks and Playfields = 1.25 acres/1,000 people; Neighborhood Parks= 2.5 acres/1,000 people, and Districtwide Parks = 5 acres/1,000 people). �n order to maintain the targeted ratio of 10 acres per 1,000 people, additional land and park improvements will be needed as the community population grows. A major source of funding for new parks and park improvements are Quimby Fees and Park Impact Fees. The purpose of this Committee will be to investigate whether the existing fee structure is meeting the District's future needs and whether any possible changes should be considered. The committee wi10 work with staff and gather information from other communities and stakeholders and return with any recommendations to the full CRPD Board for action, if any.
