RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-06-09 | 6 | Commissioner Kahuanui stated that whether it is cell towers or equipment structures, the Commission needs to make sure that the policy covers everything. PM McDonald stated that the few towers that have gone in have been a good source of revenue. We have not fully tapped into the resources, which is good because we have a little bit of reserve money. But, the Park Maintenance Division does not have any revenue sources other than these rental monies. ARPD was able to repave a bad area of Washington Park with these funds. Mr. McDonald stated that he would appreciate it if the Commission would look into the particulars and the rental agreements that are made. The best deal possible is what will help the Park Maintenance Division. The Division was cut by $200,000 so any additional revenue will be of great help. Chair Ingram stated that there is no doubt that this is a major source of revenue and that all cities are looking for revenue, but we need to set a policy with parameters. AD Lillard stated that the Commission can set a policy of building size that can be put in the park, etc., but the negotiation part is handled through Development Services. The Commission cannot put into the policy that they (Commission) will negotiate the terms of the lease. Commissioner Johnson asked PM McDonald what he would like for the Commission to do. PM McDonald stated that he would like the Commission to get the best deal possible because it would really help the Park Maintenance Division. Chair Ingram stated that from his prospective, we need to respect the Park Manager's opinion, but the Commission as park stewards needs to look at the policy and the bigger picture of the parks and how it will effect the park. This item will be tabled until the next meeting for further discussion. 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Consideration of Sports Advisory Committee's Recommendation regarding Field use Fees - (Discussion/Action Item) AD Lillard stated that the Sports Advisory Committee has reviewed the Field Use Fee. Babe Ruth has provided the Commission with a letter of support. Policy includes: 1. Groups requesting City owned field space on an ongoing basis for either games or practices will be covered under the policy. 2. Any applicable fees will be assessed per season according to the established field allocation process. 6 Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
