____________________________________________________________________________ Date: March 10, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Willows Little League Association Field Use Fees Recommendation:
Approve the proposed 2026 fees for the Willows Little League Association, with a $200 yearly flat fee for use of the East Softball Field at Jensen Park, a $15 per hour charge for lights, and a $400 deposit for Youth Little League field use.
Rationale for Recommendation:
At the February 24, 2026, City Council meeting, Council directed staff to look into reducing fees associated with the Willows Little League Association’s (WLL) use of City fields and return to the Council with a recommendation at the March 10 Council meeting.
Background:
The City’s field use relationship with the WLL is long-standing and was originally structured under an agreement dating back to 1982. Over the years, the City has continued to allow the WLL to use City softball fields, generally in exchange for limited fees and shared responsibilities related to field care and use expectations. The City is currently updating the agreement to ensure that the terms and conditions accurately reflect and align with current operations, including deposits, cost recovery for City services, and a clear and consistent fee structure.
At the February 24, 2026 City Council meeting, Council directed staff to evaluate the WLL’s request to reduce or waive fees for use of the East Softball Field in Jensen Park for practices and to return with a recommendation. Staff’s review has focused on: (1) establishing a consistent fee structure for the Willows Little League’s seasonal use of the field; (2) demonstrating how the recommended structure compares with both historical contract rates and the City’s current Master Fee Schedule; and (3) ensuring the City can recover costs associated with field lighting and Public Works services when those services are provided.
Discussion & Analysis:
WLL manages more than 20 teams with at least 10 members on each team (and some teams include as many as 14 members). The WLL’s request focuses on the East Softball Field at Jensen Park and primarily relates to practices. Staff estimates approximately 40 total practice days will occur this season, and there are 18 games anticipated to be played at the field this year. Historically, the City has not charged the WLL for practices.
Past agreements included a $25 per field per use charge for games and a $15 per whole hour charge for use of lights. Separately, the City’s current Master Fee Schedule lists softball field rentals for the public at $40 per day to reserve, which is higher than the historical $25 per-game amount used in prior WLL agreements.
Cost savings and comparisons are summarized below:
• Comparison to the prior (2023) game fee structure: Under the historical $25 per game approach, 18 games would total $450. The recommended $200 flat rate results in a savings of $250 to the WLL.
• Comparison to current Master Fee Schedule: The current public rental rate is $40 per day, so 18 games would total $720. The recommended $200 flat rate results in a savings of $520 to the WLL.
In addition, prior agreements for use of the youth Little League fields have included a $400 deposit, and the City will maintain this standard deposit amount for the upcoming agreement. During the upcoming season, Public Works staff time and any associated costs will be tracked as services are provided. This tracking will allow the City to evaluate how closely the $400 deposit aligns with the City’s actual service impacts and cost recovery over the course of the season. Any portion of the deposit not used to cover eligible City costs will be refunded. Should documented costs exceed the deposit amount, WLL will be invoiced for the remaining balance.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
This recommendation is consistent with Priority #1: Financial Stability and Priority #5: Quality of Life.
Fiscal Impact:
The recommended arrangement provides $200 in base field use revenue for the East Softball Field plus $15 per hour when lights are used. The $400 deposit would be applied only to cover Public Works time and materials. It will be documented and billed based on the cost of services provided, supporting cost recovery and transparency. If not used, the deposit will be refunded. If documented costs exceed the deposit, the WLL will be invoiced the remaining balance.

Subject: Countywide Ambulance Ad Hoc Committee Appointment Recommendation:
Appoint two Councilmembers to the Countywide Ambulance Ad Hoc Committee.
Rationale for Recommendation:
Ambulance Ad Hoc Committee Members have requested that the City of Willows have a presence on the Ambulance Ad Hoc Committee by appointing two Councilmembers to the Committee.
Background:
The City of Willows has been invited to participate in a regional Ambulance Ad Hoc Committee composed of two members of the Glenn County Board of Supervisors, two members of the City of Willows City Council, and two members of the City of Orland City Council.
The purpose of the committee is to create a focused, collaborative forum for local jurisdictions to evaluate the stability, funding needs, and long-term sustainability of the countywide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system.
The goal of the committee is to:
Review the current condition and future needs of ambulance service in Glenn County. Identify funding challenges and develop equitable cost-sharing options. Improve coordination between jurisdictions and ambulance providers. Ensure that service-level expectations are met across all communities in the County. Provide a structured environment for policy discussion, data review, and recommendations to the respective governing bodies.
This committee does not take formal action but serves as an advisory and information-sharing body, allowing jurisdictions to speak collectively about systemwide EMS needs.
Glenn County’s emergency medical transport system is currently served by two contracted ambulance providers:
Enloe Medical Center serves southern Glenn County.
Westside Ambulance serves northern Glenn County.
Both providers have reported increasing operational pressures due to rising call volumes, staffing shortages, escalating costs, and extended transport times resulting from the closure of local hospital emergency services. These challenges have placed a growing strain on the ambulance system as a whole.
At the February 17 Orland City Council meeting, the Council approved a $22,200 subsidy to support Westside Ambulance in response to a described funding shortfall for its 24-hour staffed unit. During the discussion, several Orland City Councilmembers expressed the opinion that Glenn County and the City of Willows should contribute toward the subsidy, framing it as a regional responsibility rather than an expense that is the exclusive responsibility of the City of Orland.
Discussion & Analysis:
Given recent statements by Orland officials and the broader financial issues facing the EMS system, it is essential that the City of Willows have a formal presence on the Ambulance Ad Hoc Committee. City participation would ensure that:
The City of Willows’ interests are represented and clearly understood. Decisions and/or recommendations that would impact the City of Willows EMS services are made inclusively with Willows at the table.
City staff and Councilmembers receive accurate, real-time information directly from providers and county leadership.
The City of Willows has ample opportunity to advocate for fair and data-driven approaches to EMS funding, ensuring that local taxpayers are not held responsible for costs generated outside the Willows service area.
Active involvement in the committee provides the structure needed for the City of Willows to protect its fiscal interests while contributing constructively to a long-term, sustainable EMS delivery structure for the entire county.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
This recommendation is consistent with Council Priority #3: Public Safety.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact by appointing two Councilmembers to the Ad Hoc Committee.
