Parks And Recreation Meeting October 5, 2026

The City of Moorpark Parks and Recreation Commission’s regular meeting on October 5, 2026, focused on the recreation division’s 2025–26 program cost-recovery report. The report showed that the division recovered all allocated direct costs and 70% of indirect costs. Commissioners unanimously approved moving adult sports leagues into the same cost-recovery category as youth sports, lowering the recovery requirement from 75% to 50%; they discussed forwarding the report and this adjustment to the City Council, though the transcript does not clearly capture a vote on that separate recommendation. No contract awards, vendor selections, or specific procurement approvals were identified. Staff noted that a consultant is expected to evaluate the feasibility, costs, and potential revenue of expanding the recreation center, including facilities for a certified preschool and before- and after-school care, over the next 12 months; no consultant selection or contract was reported.

The commission also discussed a fall park tour that includes the inclusive playground construction site, which was running a few weeks behind schedule and expected to be completed around mid-November. The tour was approved for October 30. A public speaker raised concerns about bicycle safety, traffic signals, a missing bike rack, and a crosswalk; no commission action on those requests was recorded.
