PARKER, CITY MANAGER FROM: DAVID A. WILSON, DIRECTOR, PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES SUBJECT: TUSTIN COMMUNITY CENTER AT THE MARKET PLACE FACILITY USE POLICIES AND FEE SCHEDULE SUMMARY: Through Development Agreement 2014 -001 that establishes the Tustin Community Center at the Market Place as a community facility, it is necessary to formulate Facility Use Policies and a Facility Fee Schedule. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the attached Facility Use Policies and Facility Fee Schedule for the Tustin Community Center at the Market Place and request the Mayor to appoint an Ad Hoc Committee consisting of two (2) City Council members to recommend the twelve (12) fee exempt City events per year for the City Council's consideration. FISCAL IMPACT: Facility User Fees are formulated to offset costs associated with community use of the facility. An undetermined net increase to City revenue is anticipated depending on the amount of facility use. CORRELATION TO THE STARTEGIC PLAN: The approval of the Facility Use Policies and Facility Fee Schedule advances the City's Strategic Plan: Goal A: (6) Assess and explore opportunities for expanded recreational activities. BACKGROUND: With the approval of Development Agreement 2014 -001, the Tustin Community Center at the Market Place will be available for use by the public. The community center complex has a central lobby area, restrooms, two community rooms (approximately 1,375 square feet each) that can be converted into one larger space, and two community theaters. Activities that will be allowed in the center would include City sponsored meetings and events; and activities allowed in other community facilities, such as parties, receptions, ceremonies, seminars, non - commercial classes, health fairs, expos, trainings, dances, and performances. The City would program and schedule the facility. The Irvine Company who owns the facility, would maintain the facility and be reimbursed for maintenance costs through hourly usage fees and administrative fees charged for the use of the facility. Per the agreement, twelve (12) City events per year and reasonable smaller City meetings not requiring heating or air - conditioning would be exempt from use fees, if the City handles the set -up and clean -up. To ensure the City covers costs and fees associated with community use of the center, City staff reviewed the charges and fees established by the Irvine Company for use and surveyed comparable private and public facilities to establish the user fee schedule. pectfully/sub i d, D A.
