V.7. CR 2015-013 Adopt Resolution 2015-009, Approving Revised Athletic Field Use Fees0 Y 0'r:
January 29, 2015 NOPKINS Council Report 2015-013
APPROVE REVISED ATHLETIC FIELD USE FEES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: "Move, to adopt Resolution
2015-009 apgroving revised athletic field use fees.
The Park Board has recommended that the current athletic field user fees be
revised to reflect current area field use rates and, more specifically, to match the
fees currently being charged by the Recreation Dept. for the use of Minnetonka
athletic fields. The current field fees were established 3 years ago by City Council
resolution. Accordingly, revised fees must be approved by City Council resolution.
The proposed 2015 fees will bring the Hopkins field fees in-line with those charged
in the City of Minnetonka, The proposed fees are typical of those charged metro -
wide. The largest rate increase is for teams falling under Category C, less than
50% Hopkins/Minnetonka resident participation. These are predominantly
corporate -sponsored teams playing in non -recreation program leagues. It is likely
that the fee increase will be reflected in participant costs, however, there are
ample scholarship programs available based on financial need. With the proposed
increase a category A user (minimum 50% Hopkins/Minnetonka residents � open
registration) will see an increase from $10/hr to $141hr for use of Central Park
fields and the Maetzold soccer field, from $15/hr to $20/hr'for use of these fields
with lights.
Prima N Issues to Consider
+ User fees are, in part, based on residency. How is that checked?

Primary Issues to Consider
0 User fees are, in part, based on residency. How is that checked?
If the reservation is being made by a new organization, the Recreation Dept. staff
will check the registration forms to ensure that the minimum 50%
Minnetonka/Hopkins residency requirement is met. If it is a long-established'
organization, the 50% residency requirement has previously been established and
is assumed to be met.
