May 8, 1997 Page 3 8. NEW ITEMS A. A Request By Thousand Oaks/Conejo Valley Chamber Of Commerce To Conduct A "Taste Of The Conejo" And Fine Arts Festival At Conejo Creek North - Lindsey reviewed the Chamber of Commerce request for use of Conejo Creek North for a festival. She said that the event was held two years ago at Civic Arts Plaza, but a stable location that will facilitate long term growth is preferred, the guidelines are similar to those of the Oktoberfest and the Greek Festival, and no admission will be charged. She noted the presence of Fred Berkhardt of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Berkhardt referenced the documentation and said that Conejo Creek North is the premiere facility in the community, and it is hoped that it can be the site of the event for years to come. In response to Holt's concern, Lindsey said that the District's summer concert scheduled for August 17 is not a major holiday concert, it does not begin until 5 p.m. and, therefore, a time conflict with the festival would be minimal. Gillette said that he sees the two events as complimentary, and he is pleased to see an opportunity for the District to support the activities of the Chamber of Commerce. It was moved by Gillette, seconded by Holt, and carred unanimously to authorize staff to issue a permit and execute appropriate conditions and fees for the Thousand Oaks/Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce to conduct a "Taste of the Conejo" and Fine Arts Festival at Conejo Creek North. B. Authorization To Extend Leases On Three Parcels At Conejo Creek Park And A Lease North Of Wildwood Park Sorensen identified the three parcels, their locations, and rental fees, and stated that the leases are two years' duration, the District is protected through appropriate insurance coverage, and market analysis determined that the rental fees of the three leases near Conejo Creek Park are appropriate and the fee for the lease in the Santa Rosa Valley should be increased from $690 to $759 per year.
