Staff presented the miscellaneous fees modifications and new fees being proposed in Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency for FY 2006/07. All of the city's miscellaneous fees will be increased by the CPI increase of 5.3 percent. Three fees are being modified: 1) Swim Lesson Fee (based on comparable rates with surrounding cities); 2) Youth Sporting Fee (to establish a resident rate for youth organizations using the stadium) and 3) Adult Sporting Fee (to establish a resident rate for adult organizations using the stadium). Six new fees are being proposed in FY 2006/07: 1) a fee for the small meeting room at Salgado Center; 2) a fee for use of Hector Godinez High School Joint Use Facilities; 3) a fee for Swim Team training at 5 pools, 4) a Stadium rental fee for the new synthetic turf field, 5) a non-resident rate for use of the Dan Young Soccer Field, and 6) a fee for use of the Stadium Concession building. 4. SOCCER SURCHARGE . Staff indicated in FY 2002/03 the city established a soccer surcharge of $1.00 per player to all adult soccer organizations that reserve soccer fields in the City. The surcharge was established to pay for the installation of synthetic turf at the Dan Young Soccer Complex. Two synthetic turf fields have been installed at the Dan Young Soccer Complex and the city will be constructing another synthetic turf field at the SA Stadium in January 2007. All three fields were constructed with grant funding, CDBG funds and/or Park Acquisition and Development Funds. None of the surcharge funding was used and staff estimates $149,787 will be collected by the end of FY 2006/07. The continuation of the surcharge is needed as matching funds to complete the two remaining fields at the Dan Young Soccer Complex and to provide the necessary funding to replace the existing fields in 8 to 10 years. 5.
