Title
Discussion of issues relating to the policy of fundraisers at Parks and Recreation Department facilities.
Body
Summary:
It has been requested that staff develop a policy related to fundraisers that would allow organizations to auction off parking spaces as a form of fundraising. This is was previously requested by the Deer Park Pony Baseball organization.
The Deer Park Pony Baseball organization requested permission to hold a fundraiser at the Spencerview Athletic Complex to City staff. This fundraiser involved the bidding of parking spaces at the complex for exclusive usage during league games.
City staff reviewed the request and determined that a review of this practice needed to occur to be discussed with the Parks and Recreation Commission to determine the potential impact of this fundraiser on the general public. Parks and Recreation reviewed the request and made a recommendation to the Deer Park City Council. City staff brought the recommendation to City Council on August 20th and it was discussed during the City Council Workshop. City Council conversed with City staff and determined that a policy related to fundraisers at Parks and Recreation Department facilities needed to be presented at a later City Council Workshop.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
None
