RE: 2019 Field Use Fees
Background:
The City adopted its first field usage fees in 2014, and have not been revised since that time.
At that time, the Parks and Recreation Commission recognized the valuable services that youth
organizations offer in the Otsego Community. For that reason, the Commission felt it was
important to ensure a fee was established by charging a per field fee and not a per participate
fee.
The following fees are currently included in the 2019 fee schedule.

Since the establishment of the 2014 field usage fees, organizations are utilizing the fields at an
increased rate. These youth organizations are also offering camps during the day which is not
accounted for in the current Fee Schedule. Taking into consideration this additional use, and
the fact that the field use fees have not been increase in 2014, staff is suggesting the following
updated Fee Schedule:
