Teams May Face Fees for Unlighted Fields
- Share via
Sports teams will have to pay to use unlighted playing fields if proposed fees are approved tonight by the City Council.
Officials have recommended a $20 fee for teams reserving a city-owned field for four or more hours or for multiple dates, and a $50 fee for a seasonal permit. A $250 refundable deposit for reserving a field for multiple dates will be considered.
“The intent is for all or part of the fees to be used for park monitoring and maintenance, to have someone available to solve disputes, work with groups and make sure the fields are cared for,” Deputy City Manager Cathy Standiford said.
Council members also will consider charging teams $2 per resident player and $4 per nonresident player to use unlighted fields and increasing the existing charges for lighted fields.
The new fees would go into effect next year.
The council will meet at 7 p.m. in the Community Meeting Center, 11300 Stanford Ave.
