RecreationandParkCommission | 2017-11-09 | 5 | Repaired large water service break at Shoreline Park. Employee training: CPR, Field turf Maintenance, Astro turf Maintenance. Reclaimed and repaired the corners of Main Street Linear Park from water being off during the drought. Irrigation has been repaired in these areas. The lights at the tennis courts at Lower Washington remain off but new security lids are almost complete and new wire will then be run to get lights working again. Admin Follow up on alcohol and recreation buildings not in parks, such as Veteran's Building and the Alameda Point Gym. Per Alameda Municipal Code 23 - -1.7 - Alcohol in Parks states: No person shall possess or consume any alcoholic beverage in the outdoor areas of any City park. No person shall possess or consume any alcoholic beverage in City park buildings except as authorized by permit from the City. Confirmed with Police Chief that this includes any City recreation building regardless of whether it is located within a park. Follow up on Encinal Beach cleanup bags requested: These are from All One Ocean. They would enter into an agreement with the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) who then installs it. EBRPD requires that there be a volunteer who takes responsibility to keep it clean and check to make sure there are bags in the box; EBRPD does not maintain it or stock it. If the volunteers stop taking care of it, then they remove it. There is one currently at Crown Beach. Follow up on Leydecker Curry Court surfacing concern: Park Maintenance Manager is aware of the issue. It is not the coating surface wearing out from irrigation but all the cracks reflexing through. When Under Armor improved this court, ARPD asked for a full resurface before coating but Under Amour chose to only patch the cracks. Recreation User Fee Schedule to City Council -Staff will be making three recommendations that are different from the Commission recommendation. The Commission recommendations are made clear in the staff report and presentation. City Council then makes the final determination on fees. Open Gym: Commission recommended increasing the adult drop-in open gym fee from $6 to $8. Staff recommendation is to keep the Alameda resident adult gym drop-in fee at $6 but add a non-resident fee of $8 in order to keep strong attendance and provide a benefit for residents. Adult flag football league rate specific to Estuary Park synthetic turf field. Commission recommended the Non-Resident fee for this activity be increased to $900 per team, however staff continues to recommend that Non-Resident league teams at synthetic fields be charged $800 per team per 10-game season. ARPD is working to expand its adult flag football league and wants to continue to grow the league. A higher fee may be a deterrent and this synthetic turf fee is already higher than the current grass flag football team fee. Lastly, a 3% increase is proposed to be added to most rental and program activities, but excluding all athletic facility fees and deposits, in order to recoup transaction fees for a new, user-friendly web-based registration system. ARPD will be paying fees now based on a per transaction cost rather than an annual fee. Staff determined that this fee should be incorporated into all rental and activity registrations to ensure that the Recreation Fund does not experience a net loss from transitioning to a new system. 5 | RecreationandParkCommission/2017-11-09.pdf |
