RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
(1) Adjust field reservation and per-player fees for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025;
(2) Include an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment not to exceed 3% for field rentals each subsequent year;
(3) Include an annual $1 increase for per-player fees each subsequent year;
(4) Establish a Turf Replacement Plan in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for future turf replacements; and
(5) Allocate revenues from the fee adjustments, as well as matching funds, no less than $50,000, from the General Fund, to the CIP each budget year beginning in FY 2024-2025 to fund future turf replacements.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no immediate fiscal implications associated with the recommended action at this time. If approved, field reservation and per-player fees will be adjusted for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025, with the increases allocated to the General Fund and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund respectively. In addition to revenues received from the adjustments to per-player fees, the City will transfer matching funds, no less than $50,000 annually, from the General Fund to fund future turf replacement projects rather than using the money for other purposes. Future years will be budgeted according to City Council direction.
