Review Policy Establishing Priority for Use of City Athletic Facilities. <br /> Concerns include: putting residents low on priority list. Rarely is there not a field available <br /> on a weekend when residents may want to reserve a field. Do we need 3a-g? Exclusionary <br /> factor can also end up eliminating a group from getting any fields and not staying in the <br /> community. Why prioritize if MVCC can still limit reservations? If we keep E on priority list, <br /> do we need the statement on the Field Rental Fee Schedule that “Field Reservation may <br /> be limited depending upon the number of teams and fields available”? <br /> Suggested Action: Remove B3e-g. Reword items in paragraphs following B3g. C1: Dates <br /> defined by MVCC. <br /> Remove C2. Reword E Disclaimer. Need to include penalty disclaimer for not <br /> relinguishing fields not used. <br /> Palm will draft new policy to forward to Commission for review in Nov. <br />2. Review Community Center and Recreation Fee Schedule for 2010. Increased fees <br />for Park Shelter Rental. <br />B. 2010 Music-in-the-Park Structure/Implementation Update: MVCC will use third <br />Thursday of the months of June, July, August 2010. Look for sponsors/funding beginning <br />Jan.1, 2010. Each concert will be a different style of music. Rain or shine unless band <br />cancels. Direct Staff to verify competing communities for that evening.
