OVED A TO FORM AND LEGALITY: ~~il~ ssistant City ttarney ADOPTED AND EFFECTIVE: August 29, 2006 i ~f ~®-~ ®rtf~, Teas r i CC}UNGIL ACT1C)N: Approved on 8I29I2006 - Ordinance No. 17126-08-2006 DATE: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 LOG NAIME: 80ESTRHFEE REFERENCE NQ,: G-15375 SUBJECT: Authorize the Establishment of a Per Rental Fee for Expenses Incurred for Security and Litter Removal at Rolling Hills Soccer Complex and Adoption of Appropriation Ordinance -, - RECOMMEN©ATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager to approve the establishment of a fee of $6.5D per rental far all user-groups at Rolling Hills Soccer Complex to offset expenditures on security and litter removal; and 2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations by $25,723.60 in the General Fund from available funds. DISCUSS{®N: As part of the 1998 Soccer Field Management and Development Plan, the City Council approved funding for the Parks and Community Services Department to build new soccer fields in order to decrease the deficiency in the number of competition soccer fields, bringing the City closer to national standards. As a part of this citywide plan, nine new soccer fields were added to the six existing fields at the Rolling Hills Soccer Complex. Although funding was provided for the fields, additional parking lot expansion will not occur until the next phase of project construction, which is anticipated in 20D8. Currently, the available 195 parking spaces at Rolling Hills do not effectively serve the demand for parking due to the considerable number of scheduled games played on a daily basis at 15 soccer fields. The total number of games played during peak operating hours demands approximately 55D parking spaces. Although parallel parking spaces for user-groups utilizing Rolling Hills exists on Joe B. Rushing Road, adjacent to the park, space is insufficient and creates difficulties for patrons entering and exiting the fields. Tarrant County College --South Campus has agreed to allow park users to utilize the parking lot south of the Rolling Hills soccer complex if the City of Fort Worth will supply security and litter removal on the parking lot. By using the parking lot at Tarrant County College, parking pressure on the street is alleviated. The annual cost to fund this shared parking is approximately $25,723.60 annually, ar $6.50 per rental. All soccer association presidents were palled on this field rental increase at a public meeting held on June 7, 2006 and unanimously agreed to the increase. The requested supplemental appropriation is offset by revenues collected from the proposed fee and will fund security and staff to remove litter an a nightly basis. The Parks and Community Services Advisory Board endorsed this fee at their meeting an July 26, 2006. Balling Hills Soccer Complex is located in Council District 8 and serves the entire City.
