Item 10CCity of Southlake, Texas MEMORANDUM June 21, 2004 TO: Billy Campbell, City Manager FROM: Malcolm Jackson, Director of Community Services (xt. 1527) SUBJECT: Approval of 2004 Facilities Utilization Agreement with Southlake Baseball Association Action Requested: City Council approval of 2004 Facilities Utilization Agreement with Southlake Baseball Association. Background Information: The City of Southlake coordinates with the Southlake Baseball Association to offer athletic programs. These arrangements are historically documented and authorized through a written agreement referred to as a facilities utilization agreement. A separate agreement is held with each of the youth athletic organizations participating in the use of City owned fields and equipment. Because each organization originated at different times, utilized different parks, and had specific individual elements to consider, there were broad similarities to all of the agreements; however, the agreements lacked uniformity in verbiage and content. Staff began working on development of a standardized Facilities Utilization Agreement that provided uniformity of design, simplicity of understanding, and completeness of detail. In addition, staff worked with the associations to develop an agreement that allowed flexibility in making adjustments and added other components deemed essential but not previously included. The resulting agreement has an easy to read framework, and contains the following substantive updates or modifications: • Definitions of regular season and tournament season to better facilitate future scheduling and related activities. • Allows for renewals to be conducted through mutual agreement of the City and the association without further action required of the Parks Board or City Council except in the event of substantive changes to the agreement not otherwise authorized for periodic changes. • Enhances the responsibility of the association to maintain safety and security during their activities. • Modifications to the schedule and roster for improved accuracy and effectiveness. Billy Campbell, City Manager June 21, 2004 Page 2 • Revised field use fee sections to allow the associations opportunities to provide in -kind services through the use of volunteers and other donations in lieu of actual cash payments up to a maximum of fifty percent 50% of the field use fees assessed. • Establishment of adjustable exhibits for those elements that routinely change from season to season or year to year, such as schedules and field allocations. • Upgrades to the payments for after -hours requested use of staff. • Opportunities for the associations to undertake a greater role in the maintenance and preparation of the fields. • Responsibility determinations for the planned installation of lightening detection equipment and camera systems. Financial Considerations: The financial considerations directly correlate to the degree of services requested by the association and by the degree of in -kind volunteer time and services provided by the association under the terms of the agreement. Financial Impact: Any adjustments to the funds received by the City from the association is directly correlated to the services requested from the City by the association and the degree of in -kind volunteer time and services provided by the association. The per -hour fee for use of staff increased from $15 per hour to $25 per hour. The seasonal field use fees may be offset up to a maximum of 50% in direct cash payment by the use of volunteer time and services provided in lieu of such cash payments. Citizen Input / Board Review: Parks Board unanimously recommended approval (6 -0) at their June 14, 2004 meeting with a motion providing for the annual review by Parks Board. Over the past several months staff has been meeting with the associations in both group settings and individual meetings to discuss the parameters and general content of the agreement. Legal Revie-v The agreement was drafted utilizing the general core content from the agreements previously in place and has been reviewed by the city attorney. Alternatives: City Council discussion and consideration may result in various alternatives, including: Approval of the agreement as presented. Modifications to the agreement.
