With the implementation of these fees, we experienced greateY user accountabilityr <br />and actual usage. <br />The fee structure has been well-received by our associations with the only complaint being the daily charge for the <br />use of the concession stand. It was created as a dailyr rate in case of one-dayr tournaments. However, we are <br />learning that the tournaments we host in Elk River are multiple days and the organizers would prefer a lump fee. <br />Upon researching this further, we found that other cities are split equallyT on dailyT charges or per tournament. <br />Staff is recommending changing the concession stand fee from a dailyT fee to a per `veekend fee. The cityT will still <br />require a seasonal temporaryr food stand/special event license. <br />Financial Impact <br />There �vill be little to no monetaryT impact `vith this update. <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Field use rates are intended to be reasonable to foster participation, collaboration and accountabilit�T between �Touth <br />sports associations and the cit�T. <br />Attachments <br />■ Updated Recommended Concession Stand Use Fees <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A �a�elco�ning colnlnunity 2arith Tevolutiona�y and spi�zted Tesourcefulness, excptional <br />se�vice, and co�n�nunity engagelnent that encou�ages and in��i�espzo��e�zty. <br />rowEREO er <br />�1��'U�'� <br />Updated.• August 2020 <br />
