RecreationandParkCommission | 2006-02-09 | 3 | AD Lillard suggested that for the next meeting people/Commissioners bring names with a little background on the suggested individuals for consideration. B. Review Amendment to the Field Allocation Policy - (Discussion Item Only) AD Lillard stated that to comply with requirements outlined in AB2404 specific language needs to be added to the Field Allocation Policy. Assembly Bill 2404 prohibits discrimination against any person on the basis of sex or gender in the operation, conduct or administration of community youth athletic programs and activities, or in the allocation of parks and recreation facilities and resources. Chair Ingram asked what constitutes compliance. AD Lillard stated that if you were challenged one of the three things they use for compliance is the percentage of participants in youth sports is roughly the same as the percentage in the general population. Or, that you have demonstrated an effort to move toward equalization. For instance, if figures are collected and 20 percent are girls and general population is 40 percent but in the next few years we go from 20, 25, or 28 percent then we are in compliance, or if it is generally accepted in the community that we are meeting the needs of everyone. It is somewhat vague, but we are collecting everyone's participation number so that in the future we can demonstration an increase in the number of people or programs. Commissioner Reeves stated that the first thing is to have a stated policy which matches the State policy. The next step is that we are working toward meeting the goals in the Policy. This is the first step in adopting a policy which matches the State policy. Chair Ingram asked if it was too early to figure out the figures of girls in youth sports versus girls in general population. AD Lillard stated that staff is beginning with this Policy and then rosters will be obtained for this season and then we will move forward. Commissioner Kahuanui stated that she feels that there needs to be wording put in the Field Allocation Policies and Procedures which deals with groups who consistently do not follow the policies and procedures (e.g., following times allocated for their permit, etc.). AD Lillard stated that staff can add wording stating, "Failure to comply with any of the policies could result in the loss of their Field Permit." Commissioner Kahuanui agreed with the above wording. AD Lillard stated that the Policy and Procedure will go back to Council as an informational item. C. Annual Review and Adjustment of Fees for Recreation and Parks - (Discussion/Action Item) Discussion was held regarding fee comparison surveys with other cities and staff recommended fee increases. Discussion was held regarding fees for Alameda Point Facilities. Staff is working with user groups to develop an Alameda Point Gym Allocation Policy and Procedure. It's anticipated that this will come before the Recreation and Park Commisison in the near future. 3 Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
