Council Agenda Item MEETING DATE: December 6, 2010. SUBJECT/TITLE: Request to set a Public Hearing to consider amending those sections of the City code that regulate rental rates, fees and charges at the Municipal Athletic Complex Fees. SUBMITTED BY: Lyle Mathiasen, Civic Facilities Director Todd, Bissett, MAC Manager Brian Deyak, MAC Manager RECOMMENDATION: Set reading and public hearing for December 20, 2010. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: N/A PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Periodically the City Council has adjusted the rates & fees at the MAC as needed. BACKGROUND: Attached you will find the proposed changes in rates and fees at the MAC (see Section 540 Municipal Athletic Complex for the complete list of proposed rate adjustments). MAC RATES: Only ice arena rates and fees will be increased under this proposal. ICE ARENA RATES The hourly ice rental rate, the benchmark from which other fees emanate, would be increased $10 per hour. All Paid Admission & Free Admission Game rates will not increase at this time. This proposed increase is clearly budget-driven. The arena rates were last adjusted on January 1, 2009. We recommend the arena ice rental rate increases become effective March 1, 2011. Groups with contracts signed before this time period will not see an increase in rates. The proposed rates are generally in line with, if not lower than compatible facilities (see attached survey of 2011 rental rates). STADIUM RATES No increase at this time GOLF COURSE RATES No Increase at this time BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Ice Arena: Stadium: Golf Course: 2012 $31,000 revenue increase (full year impact) No Change No Change OPTIONS: increases. Provide an alternate source of cash to cover increased utility fees and other operating cost NECESSARY ACTION: Set reading and public hearing as requested.
