A. Issue
The addition of fees to the consolidated fee schedule for the rental of Hart Park Stadium storage units so that the units may be rented to stadium user groups.
B. Background/Options
In 2023 six individual storage units were constructed underneath the home (west) side bleachers of Hart Park Stadium. Of the six units, four are 585 square foot in size and two are 706 square foot. These units are intended to create an option for the user groups of Hart Park Stadium to securely store equipment and other materials associated with hosting their events. Staff feels that it is appropriate to charge monthly rent for the use of the storage units on a first-come first-served basis. This is similar to fees charged for the use of other park facilities. The revenue will help off-set maintenance costs of the units and the stadium complex as a whole. Staff is recommending rental fees of $100/month and $120/month for the 585 square foot units and 706 square foot units respectively. The monthly rental fees will be waived if a particular user group spends greater than $20,000 in the preceding year renting athletic facilities at Hart Park.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
Priority 5: Quality of Life
D. Fiscal Impact
Adding rental fees for the Hart Park Stadium storage units to the consolidated fee schedule will allow for the collection of rent associated with their usage, thereby increasing park revenue.
E. Recommendation
Staff recommends that a monthly rental fee for the use of storage units at Hart Park Stadium be added to the consolidated fee schedule in the amount of $100/month and $120/month for the 585 square foot units and 706 square foot units respectively.
