RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the updated Facility Reservations Policy.

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

There are no fiscal implications associated with the recommended action.

 

BACKGROUND:

Periodically, the Facility Reservation Policy is reviewed for potential updates.


DISCUSSION:

To update our policy, staff recommends that the Council amend it as follows:

 

1. PURPOSE

The Facility Reservation Policy governs use of public facilities such as community center rooms, picnic shelters, swimming pools, basketball courts and sports fields that are available to the public for civic, social, educational, athletic, cultural activities and limited commercial use. The purpose of this policy is to provide use regulations and application and scheduling procedures to accommodate residents and individuals who would like to use City facilities. Facilities will not be used for religious worship or other religious purposes, political fundraisers, political advocacy or other partisan campaign events, or the sale of goods or services. Candidate or ballot issue forums that present all opposing viewpoints may be accepted.

PUBLIC OUTREACH:
After analysis, staff determined that public outreach was not required for this issue.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.


LEGAL REVIEW:

 

The City Attorney has reviewed this report and determined that no additional legal analysis is necessary.
