RecreationandParkCommission | 2012-01-11 | 4 | However, should this be approved, there will be a list of conditions that come with the approval. AGSA would have to agree to assume all the costs of construction and obtain all applicable City permits. Any on-going repairs and maintenance would have to be assumed by AGSA as well. The proposed location is very near the EBMUD pump station, so a meeting would have to be held with them to ensure there would be no issues with the proximity of the batting cage. Also, any construction that would occur would have to be carefully done so as not to damage any existing underground EBMUD equipment. The cage will be locked when not in use. AGSA would have use of the cage when in the softball season, but ARPD would like it to be available to other groups in the off-season. This would provide use opportunities for the entire community instead of just one group. There would be a written agreement as to the hours of use, and of course, AGSA would have priority use of the cage. If the batting cage would ever have to be relocated, AGSA would have to bear the cost. Commissioner Sonneman stated that he really appreciated AGSA making the change because the original plan had the batting cage next to the tennis courts. The new location along Otis Drive is much more unobtrusive. He believes that AGSA would adhere to the guidelines that Lillard had laid out, and is comfortable with the proposal. Lillard said that the neighborhood areas had been noticed about the meeting so if anyone had concerns they could come and voice them. There was one person in attendance, and Lillard explained the batting cage location and that there would be no associated lighting as it would be a daytime use only facility. Commissioner Delaney said his biggest concern was the possible noise and the neighbors being disturbed by it. Commissioner Brown asked if the AGSA knew of the stipulations laid out and how they feel about them. AGSA said they were fine with what they had heard and didn't see any reason why they could not abide by the requirements. The batting cage would be constructed of black cyclone fencing just like what is on the fields there now. It would be daytime use only, so no lighting would be involved. Commissioner Delaney made a motion to allow the AGSA to install a batting cage at Krusi Park as defined in Director Lillard's memo and in AGSA's plan. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. M/S/C DELANEY/BROWN (unanimously approved) "That AGSA be allowed to install a batting cage at Krusi Park as defined in Director Lillard's memo and in AGSA's plan." Approved (5): Restagno, Brown, Delaney, Sonneman, Cooke B. Provide Direction to Staff on the Issue of Non-Profit Field Rates for Adult (18-22 year olds) Use (Discussion/Action Item) Director Lillard explained that this was an item from the previous meeting that needed further clarification. The existing field rate structure is more focused on school and non- profit group use. There are a number of teams that have evolved over the years that are comprised of 18-22 year-olds which don't fit into any existing category. Surveys of other cities were performed, and a sliding scale type fee is being proposed. The rate is fair and based on residency, and fees can be paid either by cash or for services in-lieu- of payment. For instance, Little League buys a lot of dirt for the field, so they never pay any cash. Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
