DESCRIPTION:
On April 19, 2016, Staff presented an informational item to the City Council regarding
the City’s Sports Field Use Policy and updates that Staff would like to make to align the
Policy with the needs of today’s use. In particular, Staff recommended that the City
change/simplify the number of user groups, increase the reservation lead time, and
change the notification period for cancellations. The City Council agreed with th e Staff
recommendations and directed Staff to meet and work with local user groups on the
changes before bringing proposed revisions to the Parks and Community Services
Commission and the City Council.
Subsequent to that meeting, Staff held various meetin gs and discussions with user
groups to receive input on the changes. The input, along with Staff’s recommended
actions, was presented to the Parks and Community Services Commission on
November 14, 2016.

Following is a summary of the proposed changes to the Policy:
Changes to User Group Classifications
To simplify access to City sport fields, Staff is recommending changes to user group
requirements. These changes will clarify reservation access and enhance user
convenience during the registration process. The table below represents the current
and proposed user groups and field access requirements.
Current User Group Classifications Proposed User Group Classifications
Group 1 - Public Agencies-Agencies
serving the City of Dublin including
Alameda County, Dublin-San Ramon
Services District, Dublin Unified School
District.
Group 2 - Dublin Sports League
Organizations-Organized sports league
groups: Youth Sport League Organization

public and whose primary purpose is to
serve the Dublin community. The
organization’s membership must be at
least 51% Dublin residents. An
organizational file must be completed on
an annual basis to receive the priority and
fees of this classification. Regional and
National non-profit groups that do not meet
the 51% resident membership requirement
may submit a letter addressed to the Parks
& Community Services Department that
demonstrates the direct community benefit
of the facility use. Such letter will require
the approval of the City Manager or their
designee.
Group 4 - Individuals of Other Groups-
Groups who do not meet the criteria listed
above and/or activities such as games or

Dublin City Limits and have current City of
Dublin Business License. If there is no
company facility, person responsible for
event must reside or own property within
the Dublin City Limits). b) Non-Resident.
User Group Reservation Priority
Applying the proposed group categories and requirements is expected to streamline the
rental review process without creating additional risk to the City or diminish field
demand. The time-savings generated by this change will allow users more planning
and implementation event time. The opportunity for more planning and implementation
event time is represented in the table below.
Current Priority User Group
Reservation
Proposed Priority User Group
Reservation
Group 1 and 2 - Reservations accepted
up to six months in advance of requested
dates of use. For use from March 1-July
15, Dublin Little League will have priority
use of the baseball fields at Dublin Sports
Grounds, Emerald Glen Park and Fallon
Sports Park. For use from July 16-
December 15, Dublin United Soccer
League will have priority for use of the
soccer field at Dublin Sports Grounds,
Emerald Glen Park and Fallon Sports

Page 4 of 5
Under the proposed user group all users will gain at least four additional months to
reserve field space.
Staff also is recommending changes to the policy prohibit field users from subletting
time to other groups, and the removal of casual use. Casual use, like all other fiel d use,
requires insurance coverage. Applying this requirement, this type of users will need to
submit a field application under one of the six available user categories to access fields.
The Sports Field Use Application and Sports Fields Use Procedures will be updated by
Staff to match market conditions and manage field use related to insurance
requirements, rental information, cancellations and payment schedules to maintain
operational effectiveness. This flexibility will support the City’s competiti veness to
maintain field access and keep fields usable. Policy and fee changes will require City
Council review and approval. Staff will continue to use the current approved rates to
charge users for field time until rate changes have been approved by C ity Council.
The issue of cancellations communicated in the April 19, 2016 Staff Report is
addressed in the proposed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Dublin Little
League and Dublin United Soccer League shared in the next section. These two
groups have a profound impact on field availability. By changing the reservation
cancellation requirement with these two groups to 90 days , additional capacity is
expected to be gained to support field access for other users . Changes to the Policy
and the introduction of the MOUs were part of the November 14, 2016 Parks and
Community Services Commission meeting. The Parks and Communit y Services
Commission agreed with Staff’s proposed changes and the addition of the MOUs and is
recommending them to the City Council.
Memorandums of Understanding: Dublin Little League and Dublin United Soccer
League
In FY 2015-2016, sports field usage exceeded 16,100 hours. Over 85 percent of this
field usage was generated by two users promoting youth sports. Currently, bo th user
groups are accessing City fields under Group 2 Dublin Sports League Organizations
(Youth) category.
To sustain this level of youth access to City fields, Staff is recommending that the City
enter into a Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Dublin Little League and
Dublin United Soccer League. With an approved MOU, the City and each Dublin Sports
League Organizations will have an agreement on scheduled reservation periods, field
maintenance expectations, concession stand practices, insurance requirements,
tournament allowance per year, and safety for minors. The scheduled reservation
periods in the MOUs will open more opportunities for other user groups to schedule field
use. This opportunity is the result of requiring these specific groups to reserve space
earlier and more accurately. Furthermore, adjustments to field reservations, including
cancellations, have been set at 90 days, in order to free up field inventory than
previously required. The increased reservation and cancellation lead time creates
Page 5 of 5
additional capacity for City fields to be booked by emerging youth groups and other
users.
These two groups will continue to be subject to adopted City field rates, rules,
regulations and other pertinent City policies governing field use. The MOUs will help
establish the baseline of collaboration in supporting youth services at City fields.
Establishing future MOUs with additional youth sport organizations will be measured by
youth participation, sustained service demand, meeting field u sage requirements, on-
time payment history, local based operations (e.g., oversight of business and
management within City limits) and other field service impacts such as concessions and
maintenance. Both youth groups have agreed to the MOU terms.
