REPORT SUMMARY:
On January 16� the City Council approved the Saratoga Parks and Recreation Commission's
recommendation of a use fee for the use of Congress Springs Park in the amount of $15 per
person (resident) and $25 per person (nonresident). Additionally, the City Council approved �a
»iaintenance fee based on the additional park maintenance that will be needed to keep Congress
Springs Park well maintained given the very high annual use it receives (the fee will be reviewed
on an annual basis). Each user group have different needs and place different demands on the
park's infrastructure, thus they have different maintenance fees. The maintenance fee for AYSO
is estimated at $12,306.
Currently the City has executed use agreements with Sazatoga Little League and Saratoga Pony
League. Both baseball user. groups received a waiver of the use fees for a period of 3 years in
consideration of donations made to the Saratoga Youth Sports Fund.
Attached is a similar agreement for the use of Congress Springs Pazk with AYSO, which has
been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. The Parks and Recreation Commission is
recommending that payment of the use fees be waived for one year in consideration of AYSO's
donations to the Saratoga Youth Sports Fund in the amount of $36,000. AYSO has offered to
prepay their use fee for years 2 and 3 of their agreement prior to June 30 of this year, so the funds
can be used to purchase general park amenities (benches, barbecues, picnic tables, etc.) for
i
Congress Springs Park. AYSO estimates that 850 members of their organization will utilize
Congress Springs Park during the up coming season, which conesponds to a$12,750 use fee.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Depends on the City Council's actions.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
The agreement would not be approved and AYSO would not have dedicated use of Congress
Springs Park for the next three years.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Defer the payment of use fees for a period other then the recommended 1 year.
FOLLOW UP ACTION(S):
The contract will be executed.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
