More cost effective to pay <br />per player. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared the Parks 30 year Capital Plan and sharing staff’s recommendations of field <br />rates per day and per day with lights if not at 80% residency and Elk River associations pay $5 <br />per player because they meet priority group requirements. <br /> <br />Discussed the participant residency requirements and when this will start. <br /> <br />Mr. Breyen suggested that it is an understanding with associations. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson shared that commission discussed the idea of what the fees will go towards <br />maintenance or capital. The whole point is investing in our community and children. People <br />invest with time or money. DAAC was built on investment of time to get it done. <br />$5 is similar to district and would like to see it go to capital. <br /> <br />Commissioner Niziolek stated that we all want the youth to participate. <br /> <br />Mr. Eason asked if the arena commission is looked at as a successful approach.
