Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at
I. Welcome and Introductions
Mr. Jason Lass welcomed the ad hoc, reviewed the Agenda, and timeline for recommendations.
II. Communications from the Public
James Rush, AYSO
“I am in support of increasing the field rates to $7.00 per hour for fiscal year 2025 and then increasing the rates to $10.00 per hour for fiscal year 2026. As a AdHoc committee all of us agreed that the cost recovery percentage for "everyone plays" leagues shall be between 20 -30%. In order to ensure compliance with that threshold we must increase the rates suggested above.
Through this process we got a lot done, we were able to share and address our concerns, and the city heard the concerns of the leagues and their constituents. I appreciate the partnership and hope to see the committee continue so we can grow the partnerships between the City and leagues.“
III. Field Use Rates: Formulating and Finalizing Recommendations (Continued) Councilmember, Tony Daddario, opens the conversation with the proposed rate of $7.00 in 2025, increasing to $10.00 in 2026. All were in agreement with the new proposed rate increase. Ms.
Donna Finch suggests that the master plan fee schedule will need to be amended to reflect this increase.
IV. Next Steps:
• Tues., Apr. 8 Parks and Recreation Commission – Review Recommendations • Wed., Apr. 16 City Council – Approve Recommendations
