IV.6. Resolution Approving Revised Athletic Field Use Fees; StadlerG�TY pF � March 12, 2019 H O P K I N S Council Report 2019-033 APPROVE REVISED ATHLETIC FIELD USE FEES Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: "Move to adopt Resolution 2019-028 approvinq revised athletic field use fees. Overview 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 seven years ago by City Council resolution and were last revised in 2015. Accordingly, revised fees must be approved by City Council resolution. The proposed 2019 fees will bring the Hopkins field fees in-line with those charged in the City of Minnetonka. 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 $14/hr to $16/hr for use of Central Park fields and the Maetzold soccer field, from $20/hr to $22/hr for use of these fields with lights. The Park Board unanimously approved a recommendation to increase the fees at its February 25 meeting. Primarv Issues to Consider e User fees are, in part, based on residency. How is that checked?

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.
