COMMENT: Keating on Reduced City Sports & Pool Facility Funding
Council Member Keating Highlights Change to New Athletic Fund Plan. This matter will be discussed tonight, Monday July 16. –
The Athletic Facilities Replacement Fund on Monday’s agenda has changed significantly from that initially proposed in October, 2011. The principal change is that the $25 fee will apply only to participants in sports activities administered through the Piedmont Recreation Department. Members of the private sports organizations will not be charged the fee when using city facilities – Linda Beach Field, Coaches Field, Hampton Field and the Swimming Pool. Based on this revision, annual revenues of the fund are projected to decline from $145,000 per year to $68,000 per year.
