August 8, 2002 Page 2 Lange asked about the bleacher retrofit at North Ranch Playfield. Sorensen explained that these are actually new bleachers necessary to meet OSHA standards. Lange also asked about Skateboard Park improvements to which Sorensen replied that the improvements are flexible and might include fencing, landscaping, a security camera, and/or lighting. Further, Lange raised a question about deep -tine aeration at the dog park. Sorensen explained that since the soil at the dog park is a hard clay, it's necessary to make holes 12 inches deep for watering to be effective. Jacobsen asked about some of the undeveloped park sites and are there plans for those sites that are difficult to develop? Sorensen indicated that there are two sites Jacobsen may be referring to — one behind the Mormon Church and one near La Granada, both off Erbes Road. The District has looked into declaring them surplus property, however, there was considerable public opposition. The Area Housing Authority expressed an interest in these properties, but after review decided they would not be practical for their use. In further discussion, the question came up about making the areas more aesthetically pleasing to the neighbors by planting trees. Sorensen said the La Granada area had been considered for the Oak Tree Forest, but another site was selected. In response to a question about the cost to maintain these sites, Sorensen replied that weed abatement and potential liability were the two main concerns. Lange asked if Old Meadows bank stabilization would be partially covered by FEMA to which Sorensen replied that it is not a FEMA project. Jacobsen asked about state-of-the-art lighting at Dos Vientos. Will similar lights be used to upgrade parks such as Thousand Oaks Park? Sorensen said the current goal is to upgrade the lights at Borchard Park this year and Peppertree Playfield next year due to their close proximity to neighbors. It was moved by Berger, seconded by Lange, and carried 4-0 to adopt Resolution 080802-A, A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Conejo Recreation and Park District Adopting the Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Final Budget for the District. 8.
