The MOU identified each party's intentions for the provision of supplemental athletic field maintenance in designated City parks, and how those supplemental services would be provided and funded. The initial MOU carried a term of approximately seven months, and expired on June 3Q 2012. The City and the YSC have mutually agreed to enter into another MOU with a term of twelve (12) months. With one exception, the new MOU contains the same provisions as the initial understanding. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity, approval of an MOU for the provision of enhanced park maintenance services, is not a "Project" as defined tinder Section 15378 (b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it does not involve a physical change to the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATION City Council adopt the resolution 7-1 SEPTEMBER 18, 2012, Item 7 Page 2 of 4 BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At their meeting on August 16, 2012, the Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed the proposed MOU, and voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve the new MOU. An excerpt from the August 16 meeting minutes is attached as item "A." DISCUSSION On November 15, 2011, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Youth Sports Council for the provision of enhanced parks maintenance services. That MOU expired on June 30, 2012, and City staff and the YSC are recommending the approval of a new MOU, which contains the same provisions and conditions as the initial MOU, with one change regarding the volunteer labor "buy-out" provision. The proposed MOU is attached as item "B." The new MOU would have a term of 12 months. An MOU between the organizations was originally motivated primarily as a way to provide additional maintenance to the athletic fields in City parks, which were deteriorating due to a combination of reduced maintenance and heavy usage. The reduced maintenance levels were a direct result of severe budget reductions, and were negatively impacting the YSC member-organization's ability to conduct their programs and activities. Maintenance budgets have not improved, and demand for fields has increased, so there is a desire to renew the MOU in an effort to keep fields in the best possible playing condition. The new MOU identifies the YSC's intent to continue to provide both monetary donations and volunteer labor to allow for enhanced maintenance. Monetary donations would continue to be designated for athletic field maintenance exclusively, and would be accepted by the City and placed in anon-interest bearing deposit account with the City. Expendihires from that account would continue to require the approval of a designated member of the Youth Sports Council, most likely the Treasurer or the President. Volunteer labor would continue to be provided through the Youth Sports Council member organizations, performing specified work normally done by paid City staff, thus allowing that staff to devote an equal amount of time to desired supplemental maintenance duties. The Youth Sports Council membership, at their regular meeting on August 9, 2012, voted to endorse and support the new MOU, and to authorize the President of the Youth Sports Council to sign the new MOU on the YSC's behalf. An excerpt from the meeting notes of the August 9 YSC meeting is attached as item "C." Monetary donations from the Youth Sports Council members would continue to be $11 per registration (each participant, each season), as was specified in the initial MOU. The City and the Youth Sports Council did take into account that many organizations provide scholarships/financial assistance to families in need, and the fees charged by each individual organization would be adjusted accordingly to cover the cost of those scholarships. Donations would not be requested from families requiring financial assistance. The primary focus of the labor to be provided by the Youth Sports Council through the use of volunteers would continue to consist of picking up trash, and pulling trash can liners on weekends, specifically on Sunday evenings in designated City parks. Other duties could 7-2 SEPTEMBER 18, 2012, Item_~_ Page 3 of 4 include painting graffiti removal, and minor maintenance. The Youth Sports Council has estimated that if each parent participated in the program, it would amount to a commitment of several hours one day per year. However, the YSC has acknowledged that not all parents would be willing or able to provide hands-on labor, so a "buy-out" provision continues to be an option in the proposed MOU. A family not able or willing to provide labor would be able to simply donate $15 per participant/organization/year, which in him would be utilized to offset City staff costs for providing the same service. The initial MOU had specified that the buy-out donation would be $15/participanUseason, but the City and YSC subsequently agreed to make it an annual donation rather than seasonal. Both the City and the YSC acknowledged that this adjustment would reduce the amount of total donations, resulting in fewer supplemental services, but understood the advantage of easing the burden of increased costs to participants. The understanding as proposed does not mandate or require any donation, and simply identifies services that could be provided if donations were received._However, the YSC, through its member organizations, did provide both donations and labor during the term of the initial MOU, and there is every indication that they would continue to do so during the term of the proposed new understanding. Both parties fully understand the desirability for the supplemental services, and the potential ramifications of not providing those services. There is also a great deal of flexibility intentionally built into the agreement's structure: Specific services can be discussed between the YSC and the City at any time. If a service is not needed or warranted, or if another service is identified as a higher priority, the donated monies can be used to provide those services upon mutual consent. The use of a deposit account provides the ability to carry donated funds between fiscal years, and allows funds to accumulate if they are not used any particular year. Since mid-November of 2011, when the initial MOU was approved, the organizations in the Youth Sports Council have donated $41,567, and have been providing volunteer labor crews on a consistent basis, primarily providing trash management at six selected park locations. These volunteer efforts have allowed City parks maintenance staff to provide supplemental services to enhance the condition of the parks. Specifically, they have allowed staff to aerate and apply fertilizer to most playing fields, and have supplemented an irrigation crew's efforts to maximize the effectiveness of imgation systems on the fields that were fertilized. Monetary donations have provided for additional fertilizer and supplemental water, which go hand in hand for optimum results. The combination of these services will provide for healthier turf that will be better able to withstand heavy use. DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS No Property within 500 feet Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this action. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT 7-3 SEPTEMBER 18, 2012, Item Page 4 of 4 Other than some incidental costs involved in the maintenance of a deposit account, and the processing of donations, requisitions and warrants, there would be no direct fiscal impact to the general fund as a result of the approval of an agreement. All funds donated by the YSC would be specifically designated for supplemental athletic field maintenance, and donated funds would be held in a deposit account. Service and/or material expenditures would be taken directly from that account. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Other than the items listed above, there is no ongoing fiscal impact to the general fund as a result of an approved agreement.

Park Concession Information (Rick Rylas) - Mr. Ryals reported that The City has been working on ways to make facilities self-sufficient. Mr. Ryals also noted that Lauclerbach Center pays for itself because of public private partnership it has with the vendor that is situated at the center. Mr. Ryals Talked about the American Legion at Eucalyptus Park and donation which is being used for Eucalyptus Park; Rohr Park which is utilized for dog shows, etc would be a great area to have a concessionaire, and is working with Public Works & Recreation to inventory parks and special events. Next step would be to develop an RFP and return to the commission with proposal. Mr. Ryals shared that the concessionaire would not compete with little league groups or clubs that are already in place. Discussion held about monies raised by concessionaire to remain in parks facilities and not go to general fund to fund other city departments. The Commission thanked Mr. Ryals for his report. 7-5 Attachment B -D-R-A-F-T- Au ug st 27TH, 2012 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING SPORTS FIELD MAINTENANCE This MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING SPORTS FIELD MAINTENANCE ("MOU") is made and entered into effective as of September 18, 2012'`T '' ' ` ~""' ("Effective Date") by and between the Chula Vista Youth Sports Council, an unincorporated non profit association ("YSC") and the City of Chula Vista, a chartered municipal corporation ("City"). 1.
