Title

Vote on a request to approve a temporary amendment to the Co-ed adult softball fee.

 

 

Abstract

Action Requested:

Motion to approve a temporary amendment to the Co-ed adult softball fee.

                     

 

Introduction & Background:

The adult coed softball program is offered in both the fall and spring. The normal guaranteed number of games is 8 per team. Due to the onset of COVID-19, we were unable to host a season in spring 2020. The fall 2020 season, due to the ongoing restrictions, will limit us to offering a modified season consisting of only 6 games guaranteed. If enough teams register the season is slated to begin October 13, 2020.

 

                     

Discussion & Analysis:

For the fall 2020 season, we are proposing a $375 per team registration fee. The usual fee per team is $455. Because we will not be offering our traditional program, but rather a shortened and modified program, it is appropriate that we should adjust the fee for participation accordingly. The $375 price point was determined based on a minimum of 6 teams and a maximum of 7 teams in the league and our mandate of 100% cost recovery for adult athletic programming. This reduced fee would apply only to the adult coed softball season for fall 2020; the fee will revert back to the previously established $455 for the spring 2021 season when we anticipate being able to offer a full slate of games once again.

 

 

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:

Provide recreational opportunities and access to open space.                     

 

Budgetary Impact:

Temporary amendment from $455 to $375 per team

                     

Recommendation:

Motion to approve a temporary amendment to the Co-ed adult softball fee.
