Huston, City Manager Community Services Resolution 96-83, Proposed Softball Fee Increase Summary: The Community Services Department is proposing a $30 per team fee increase for the adult softball program to enable the recovery of. costs and to contribute to the "Restricted Capital Replacement Fund." Recommendation: The Park and Recreation Commission, by a 3-2 vote, approved the Community Services staff recommendation of~ increasing adult softball registration fees from $400 to $430, beginning September 1996. Background At its May 16, 1996, meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission was presented with a staff report recommending a fee increase for the adult softball program. The fee increase was proposed by staff to recover costs of the program (see Exhibit A) and to contribute to the "Restricted Capital Replacement Fund" at a sum of $12 per team. The last time softball fees were raised was in November 1992, from $350 to $400. The Commission tabled the item and directed staff to survey neighboring cities for softball program fees (see Exhibit B). An analysis of the fees assessed by neighboring.cities indicates that the average softball fee is $429. At its June 27 meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission was presented with a follow-up report recommending the proposed fee increase. The recommendation was based on a careful analysis of annual program expenses with the fee increase geared at recovering costs. After lengthy discussion, the item was approved by a 3-2 vote.
