INITIATOR: Christine James, Parks & Recreation Director

BACKGROUND: It recently came to the attention of the Parks & Recreation Department staff that the registration fees for adult softball had been inadvertently removed from the fee schedule. Adult softball registration is currently open and being advertised at the same rate as last year; $215/team for fall registration and $385/team for spring registration. The difference in price is due to the number of games played and the length of season.
In an effort to cover the cost of staff time, equipment and utilities related to athletic field rentals, it has been determined that a rate increase is required. This resolution also reorganizes the athletic field rental fees making just one fee regardless of location or use and places the fees next to the other sports fees within the fee schedule. The current athletic field rental fee ranges from $25/hour to $74.75/field. The new rental fee would be $50/hour/field or $250/day/field regardless of complex with additional costs for amenities such as lights and field prep.
