Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 6 <br />December 8, 2021 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br /> <br />Council member Wagner asked why is there a fee now? <br /> <br />Mr. Ellingworth shared it is more for the accountability and hoping that renters will <br />take care of the space. <br /> <br />Council member Wagner asked Commissioner Loidolt, a past Baseball <br />Commissioner, if he thinks the fees are reasonable. <br /> <br />Commissioner Loidolt feels like you’re getting something for your money at the <br />Youth Athletic Complex versus Dave Anderson Athletic Complex since there is not <br />running water and they can only sell prepackaged food. He feels like $50 per day at <br />DAAC is too much since there are no amenities. <br /> <br />Council member Wagner wants to make sure the fees do not prohibit associations <br />from using the concessions due to the daily cost. <br /> <br />Mr. Ellingworth suggests removing the per day charge for this proposal and still <br />require them to get the temporary food stand license. He suggests the fee for Lion <br />John Weicht Park stay for tournament use or add it as a tournament fee. <br /> <br />Commissioner Loidolt suggests offering a discount to associations if they pay up <br />front for the cost of tournaments you can take off $50 from the tournament fee. <br /> <br />Council member Wagner would like to see the concessions being used for games <br />during the week as well as tournaments. <br /> <br />Moved by Chair Williams and seconded by Commissioner Anderson to <br />recommend to City Council to accept staff recommendations to approve <br />athletic field use fees for 2022 with the following modifications added below. <br />Motion carried 7-0. <br /> <br />• In the top rate - $45 per field per day for lights + $4 per hour of use <br />• Elk River Association (Group 3B) - $35 per field per day for lights + $4 <br />per hour of use <br />• Concession Stand Use for tournament use - $75 per day <br /> <br />8.3 Park Facility Use Fees <br /> <br /> Mr. Ellingworth presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Soltvedt asked if the non-profit rates are going away.
