City. If the Parks Commission would like to have the fields scheduled and permitted, Staff is proposing the following rate structure: Table 3: Rental Fees for Baseball Fields at Lions Park and Diamond Point Park User City of Hugo School Districts* Fee per Baseball Field No fee No fee Athletic Organizations affiliated with theI $10 per day School Districts* City -based, non-profit organizations of $10 per day Hugo for YOUTH _ Other $30 per da *School Districts include Forest Lake Public Schools, Mahtomedi Public Schools, Stillwater Public Schools and White Bear Lake Area Schools Please note that the School Districts could continue to use the fields without a fee and Associations and other non-profit organizations that are separate from the Districts would be charged a minimal fee. The potential total fees paid would be approximately $4,500. It is estimated that $1,000 would be received, based on current need for fields. These fees were approximated based on other local fees. Mahtomedi School District charges $7/hour per field with an additional set-up fee. They maintain the fields. For youth games, Minneapolis Parks and Rec. charges $8/hour per field with additional set- up fees. Fields that are lit, groomed prior to each game, have outfield fences and primarily serve adult leagues have fees in the $25-70 range. The City of Hugo fields are not lit and do not have outfield fences. They are not groomed prior to each game. The fees proposed would cover the costs of minimal maintenance and scheduling. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Parks Commission have a discussion on fees and the rental of baseball fields. Staff also recommends that a recommendation be made to the City Council for the fees listed on Table 2: 2011 Rental Fees of Hanifl Fields Athletic Park and Table 3: Rental Fees for Baseball Fields at Lions Park and Diamond Point Park be set with the City of Hugo Fee Schedule when it is discussed and approved for 2011.
