The intent of the policy is to establish guidelines for the scheduling of City play fields and address maintenance and operations to promote equitable and full use of these facilities. Based on the discussion at the 9 January 2011 Parks and Recreation Commission, additional research was done regarding fees paid by the various associations using these fields to other cities as a reference. Attachments: B. Draft Play Field Use property C. Draft Ordinance establishing play field use fees ANALYSIS City staff had previously researched established play field use fees for surrounding communities for youth association and other activities: Elk River: $1 1.00/field/day Rogers: $100.00 field set up fee $8.00 per head (youth league) $35.00 per field/day (other league users) $200.00 per field/day (tournaments) Dayton: $17.50 per head Commissioner Peter Torresani contacted the various youth sports associations for information as to what they specifically pay to use the facilities in adjacent communities. The information provided to Commissioner Torresani is that neither soccer nor football pay a fee to use play fields but do pay for services and lighting. Baseball does pay a fee as well as for field services and lighting but did not specify an amount at the time this memorandum was drafted. Commissioner Torresani estimates that baseball uses about 120 field -nights (5 fields* 2 nights/week * 12 weeks) during the season. If the City established a fee of $5/field-night, the cost would be $600, which is $100 more than the baseball association provides now. The issue of charging a fee for use of the City's play fields remains a policy issue for the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council. The City has invested in the land and improvements (especially for baseball) but a lot of the current costs for maintenance would be incurred whether the associations use the field or not. It is reasonable for the City to conclude that providing the fields and maintenance of them is a basic government service that is of community wide benefit and should be paid for by general property tax revenues even while reserving their use for various community youth associations. At the same time, a fee and service charges for reservation of the fields for one-time tournament play that is likely to have a more limited community benefit or audience and that may require additional work by the Public Works Department may also be appropriate. The draft play field policy has been revised to specify that fees may be charged based on users, fields, days and/or times. Note also that the issue of charging for use of City fields and/or the amount of such a fee may be reviewed annually. CONCLUSION The draft Play Field Use Policy is to be discussed by the Parks and Recreation Commission at their meeting on 9 February 2011. C.

I bill J, I TO: Otsego Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Daniel Licht, AICP DATE: 3 February 2011 RE: Otsego — Zimmer Farm Park; Billette family TPC FILE: BACKGROUND Ms. Susan Louricas attended the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on 12 January 2011 to request that her family be acknowledged at Zimmer Farm Park. Ms. Louricas said that the site of Zimmer Farm Park had been owned and farmed by the Billette family since the 1800s. City staff explained that of Zimmer Farm Park was originally to upon land within the Zimmer Farms subdivision to the west but was changed due to issues with the location of MacIver Avenue. Zimmer Farm Park is developed on land dedicated from the Otsego Preserves subdivision which is the property that was owned by the Billette family. The Parks and Recreation Commission directed City staff to review the issue and present options for recognizing the Billette family at their meeting on 9 February 2011. Exhibits: A. Sign Example ANALYSIS The Parks and Recreation Commission has established that the naming of City parks recognize persons or places significant to Otsego's history as a means of building community identity. The following options may be considered to recognize the Billette family and their connection to this park site: Rename Park. The Zimmer Farm Park name could be changed to Billette Farm Park (or a variation). This would involve replacing the large and small identification signs, updating the maps the City has prepared regarding the City's parks and trails and information on the City website. The costs to relplace the identification signs would be $1,375.00 (not including Public Works labor). Identify Major Feature. The other primary option is to designate a major feature within Zimmer Farm Park for the Billette Family. The example of this option mentioned at the January Parks and Recreation meeting was naming of the baseball field. The placement of a sign naming the baseball field (or other feature within the park) could be done either by a small wood sign the same as the identification sign or a metal sign fabricated by the Public Works Department. The 30" x 30" wood identification sign would cost $425.00 or the 56" x 9" sign made by Public Works would cost $69.24. Narrative. The intent of naming parks after people or places with area significance is that this identity would be promoted not only by the name of the park but by working with the Heritage Preservation Commission to provide a narrative regarding the park site on a sign within each park. While the HPC has yet to complete this work, it would be appropriate that the Billette family be recognized as part of the narrative for this park. RECOMMENDATION Because the Zimmer Farm Park name has been established and is recognized by the surrounding neighborhoods and due to the costs involved with replacing the identification signs, City staff would not recommend renaming the park. Designating a significant feature within the park, such as the baseball field, with the Billette name and including the Billette family as part of the historical narrative would provide the intended recognition for the family and be feasible to accomplish. POSSIBLE ACTIONS Motion to recommend renaming Zimmer Farm Park to Billette Park (or other variation). 2. Motion to recommend naming the baseball field at Zimmer Farm Park as "Billette Field" with a Wood/Metal sign consistent with the City's practice for naming parks and park facilities. 3. Take no action. C.
