The majority of youth fieId use in Arclen Hills comes from the Association Use. �elow is an estimate of fees we would have coIlected from 2010 — if we had a youth field fee. � lf we charg�d $5.00 per 4 hour time bloc[c: Association: 5hore�iew Area Youth 8aseball (SAYB) Games: $ 52p.�0 P ract i ce: 2 120.00 TOTAL $2,640A0 North Suburi�an Soccer Association (NSSAj Garnes/�ractice: $ 180Aa TOTAL: $2,520.00 �f we charged $iS.00 per 4 hour block: Association: Shore�iew Area Youth Baseball (5AYB) Games: $ 1,560.04 Practice: 6 360.OD TOTAL $ 7,920.00 Narth Suburban SoccerAssociation (N55A) Games/Practice: $ 540.00 TOTAL: $8,460A0 Things to consider regarding fees: 1, Administration of tlze fees will take extra stafftime. The per hour fee is more dif#icult to manage than a 3 or 4 hour time block. In most cases, groups will only book for an hour or two and use the fields for a longer period of time. 2. Practices far the associations are assigned in a black of time. For example, Perry #3 is assigned to SAYB Mondays ancE Tuesdays all spring/sutnmer from 5-dusk. They assign their own coaches. The associations woutd be reluctant to book time slots if they have to pay for each time slot, whether it is used or not. Therefore, they may send coaches to us to scheduIe and this would b� very high maintenance for our staff. 3. If we cfecide not to charge associations, the youth faciEiry/field fees would end up being minimal. The majority of field use comes from the associatior�s. 4. Expectations for field canditions became a problem when fees are instituted. The users expect fields to be dragged daily versus our standard every other day and game days. Mowing expectations became unrealistic. 5. The association will use the fields as minEma[ly as possible when there is a fee involved. They will go to surrounding suburbs that don't have fees.
