r- f `. <br /> \ i <br /> Item # 9.C.4. <br /> 1ity of . , <br /> �lk River MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park and Recreatio Commission <br /> FROM: Michele McPherso , Director of Planning <br /> DATE: October 11, 2000 <br /> SUBJECT: Park Use Fees and Deposits <br /> At previous meetings, the Park and Recreation Commission has discussed the <br /> use of parks, specifically, Woodland Trails, and whether or not it would be <br /> appropriate to require usage fees and/or deposits to assist in maintenance and <br /> ensuring that the facility is not adversely impacted by the use. Staff would <br /> present the following for consideration: <br /> For large groups, those numbering 15 or more, a park use fee of$25 per <br /> • event would be required as well as a refundable $100 deposit which would <br /> be returned, once the event is over and if it has been determined that the <br /> facility has been properly maintained by the group. <br /> The following standards would be considered in whether or not the deposit <br /> should be returned: <br /> 1. Complete removal of all signs utilized by the group, whether provided by <br /> the City or the organization. <br /> 2. Cleanup of all litter and trash. <br /> 3. No obvious damage to City facilities, such as trails, shelters, or signs. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff presents this for a point of discussion only; no action is required by the <br /> Commission, however, staff desires further direction regarding this issue. The <br /> City's fee schedule is adopted in January of each year, so this item can be <br /> reconsidered by the Commission at its November meeting. <br /> • <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PARKNREC\parkfee.doc <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
