Discussion.
Background/Discussion
Parks and recreation staff have been researching and reviewing fees for the past several months to meet
the growing demands of expanding programs and facilities, including the new ice arena. Staff views fees
as a method of continuing and expanding the ability to provide quality park and recreation services at a
level that is fair and equitable to participants and nonparticipants in the City of Elk River.
During our analysis, we found in the area of youth athletics that youth baseball and softball have been
paying the city for several years some revenue for the use of ballfields, while the other youth sports
organizations have not been paying any fees for the use of the city's athletic fields. Our objective in the
area of youth sports has become to make fees more equitable for all youth sports in meeting the costs of
maintaining athletic fields. Our objective with the new ice arena is to base fees on facility comparisons,
market rates and room configurations, similar to the methodology that was completed in the 2016
community center feasibility study.
Staff will make a presentation and discuss with City Council proposed fees for youth athletics, Activity
Center memberships and the new ice arena. They are based on some or all of the following variables:
■ Comparison Surveys
■ History and Frequency of Usage
■ Market Rates
■ Service Levels
■ Operating Costs
■ Room configurations and capacity (room rentals)
Financial Impact
It is recommended the new proposed fee structure become effective January of 2019. It is also
recommended that revenues from the new fees be applied directly to the expenses of providing the
program or facility.
