WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS -None PUBLIC HEARINGS Stager Community Gymnasium Use Policy and Rental Fee Schedule 7:41:54 PM 6.1 (280-10) Mayor Sbranti opened the public hearing. Recreation Supervisor Rich Jochner presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider revisions to the Stager Community Gymnasium Use Policy and Rental Fee Schedule which was last updated in 2002. Cm. Biddle asked if non-profit groups that were not based in Dublin needed to submit a letter to the City Manager for approval to move into the fee category of non-profits. Mr. Jochner stated that they would need to submit a letter to the City Manager for approval. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES s VOLUME 29 ~~~~ REGULAR MEETING i~~~~az January 19, 2010 \\~ ~ // ~~~roR~ DRAFT ~~jL3 Mayor Sbranti asked, in terms of the rental rates, how did the City's rates compare to Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) facility rental rates. Assistant Director of Parks and Community Services Paul McCreary stated that the City's rates were comparable to DUSD rates. Mayor Sbranti asked for scenarios for the one month priority rental versus an eight month priority. Mr. Jochner stated Dublin sports group had a greater length of time to reserve facilities. The priority for other groups was less than that time. The one month priority went to members of Group 1 and Group 2. Mayor Sbranti asked how competitive the City was in regard to the rates charged to non-profits. Mr. Jochner stated it was hard to make those comparisons because cities treat different youth groups differently. You might get a different definition of a sports organization from what Dublin considered a sports organization. No testimony was received by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing. Cm. Hart stated he was not in favor of the additional $20 fee for volleyball net rentals. The attendant was already there, so he or she could put up the net at no additional cost. Mr. McCreary stated the additional fee was to have an attendant at the facility even earlier than usual to set up that net and this would cover Staff time. Mayor Sbranti stated he had a concern about changing from three to two months, the advance rental time for commercial groups. For Group 4 - (Non-Resident), and all of Group 5 - Commercial, advance rental time would remain at two months. Group 4 Individuals (Residents) would remain at four months. If a group objected, they could petition the City Council. Mayor Sbranti suggested $10 for the volleyball rental fee. On motion of Mayor Sbranti, seconded by Cm. Scholz and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 05 - 10 ESTABLISHING FACILITY USE POLICY AND RENTAL FEES FOR USE OF THE STAGER COMMUNITY GYMNASIUM DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES s VOLUME 29 G~~oF~~~ REGULAR MEETING 19,~~~~~ January 19, 2010 ~~ ' /~ ~~~~s `"l ~ ; %~ DRAFT with the modifications of Group 4 - (Non-Resident), and all of Group 5 -Commercial, advance rental time would remain at two months. Group 4 Individuals (Residents) would remain at four months; volleyball rental fee would be $10. Sports Field Use Policy and Rental Fee Schedule 8:15:32 PM 6.2 (260-10) Mayor Sbranti opened the public hearing. Recreation Supervisor Rich Jochner presented the Staff Report and advised that, with the opening of Fallon Sports Park in summer 2010 and as the Sports Field Use Policy and Rental Fee Schedule had not been updated since 2005, the City Council would consider revisions to the Policy and Fee Schedule. Vm. Hildenbrand asked what group Tri-Valley Cricket fell under. Mr. Jochner stated they qualified as a sports organization. They would qualify as a Group 3 member. Vm. Hildenbrand stated she would like to know what the Parks and Community Services Commission (Commission) discussed regarding this item. Director of Parks and Community Services Lowart stated the Commission had quite a discussion regarding this item. When the discussion first started the Commission favored the $25 an hour fee for the synthetic turf fields. After public comments, they felt $20 was reasonable for the first year and then re-evaluate the use and fees after Year 1, and also re- evaluate the turf field. Cm. Biddle asked, with regard to the synthetic turf, how much room was there from the playing surface to where visitors could sit and watch. Mr. McCreary stated there was aten-foot area of turf from where the lines were to the edge of the concrete. There was aten-foot band of concrete. Vm. Hildenbrand asked if there would be rules regarding care of the synthetic turf. Mr. McCreary stated there would be athree-pronged approach: signage, self-policing, and field monitoring. Cm. Biddle stated there needed to be additional information and policing around the synthetic turf. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 7 VOLUME 29 ~ REGULAR MEETING 19;`~'-~. °~ January 19, 2010 ~` ' / ~~~~ DRAFT ~~a3 Cm. Hart asked what the reasoning was for raising the percentage of membership to qualify for Group 2 status from 51 % to 75% of Dublin residents. Mr. Jochner stated the reason was that there was a high demand for the fields. Staff was trying to accommodate the sports organizations and groups that were serving a greater number of Dublin residents. The City Council and Staff discussed the possible demand for use of the synthetic turf fields and priority of reservations for the different groups. If there were any problems with group reservations, there was a statement in all the City's facility use policies that anyone could petition any decision. The proposed policy would be in place for one year and then reviewed and changes could then be made. Vm. Hildenbrand voiced her concerns regarding the comments from the Tri-Valley Cricket Association in regard to increasing the percentage of membership of Dublin residents to qualify for Group 2 status from 51 % to 75%. There were not many cricket fields in the East Bay. They would be a victim of this proposed change. Mayor Sbranti asked what could be done about Vm. Hildenbrand's concern. Ms. Lowart stated the City Council could decide that youth sports organizations needed to meet the 75% of Dublin residents to qualify and adult sports organizations needed to meet 51% of Dublin residents to qualify for Group 2 status. Mayor Sbranti stated he would like to make a change to the verbiage in regard to groups, to match the verbiage approved by the City Council in Item 6.1: Group 4 - (Non-Resident), and all of Group 5 -Commercial, advance rental time would remain at two months. Group 4 Individuals (Residents) would remain at four months. David Digirolamo, representing Dublin Soccer, asked that costs be kept low and the proposed fees of the Commission be approved. Steven Jones, Chairperson of the P&CS Commission, stated there had been much discussion on this item at the Commission meeting. They also voiced to the sports organizations that they needed to assist in maintaining the fields. The City was building good facilities and they would be in demand. Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing. Cm. Hart stated he would agree to adopt the Commission's recommendation, but was not in agreement with raising the percentage of Dublin residents necessary for Group 2 status from 51 % to 75%. Vm. Hildenbrand reiterated her concern regarding the letter from the Tri-Valley Cricket Association in reference to the change in percentages for Group 2 status. The City had made a DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES s VOLUME 29 ~~OF DpB~ REGULAR MEETING i~~~~~ January 19, 2010 ~~ ' //~ ~~~~s DRAFT ~~~~ commitment to bring a sport to the City that was not Dublin-based and it would be a shame to work hard to provide a unique opportunity at Emerald Glen Park, involving cricket and to turn their back on the sport. She could go with either proposal -Staff's or the Commission's. She wanted to ensure that everyone was provided information regarding the care of the artificial turf fields. City Manager Pattillo stated there was a proposal to make the youth sports league organization qualify at 75% of Dublin residents, and the adult sports leagues qualify at 51 %. On motion of Vm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Hart and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION N0.06 -10 ESTABLISHING FACILITY USE POLICY AND RENTAL FEES FOR USE OF THE SPORTS FIELDS AT DUBLIN SPORTS GROUNDS, EMERALD GLEN PARK, FALCON SPORTS PARK AND TED FAIRFIELD PARK with the modification to Group 2, Dublin Sports League Organizations, Organized sports league groups with current IRS non-profit status, whose membership was open to the public: the organization's membership, for Youth Sports League Organizations must be at least 75% Dublin residents and at least 51 % for Adult Sports League Organizations; advance rental time for Group 4 - (Non-Resident), and all of Group 5 -Commercial, would remain at two months, Group 4 Individuals (Residents) would remain at four months; and advancing the Commission's recommendation for the Rental Fee Schedule for Synthetic Turf Fields.
