May 8, 1997 Page 4 In response to Lange's inquiry, Sorensen said that fencing on the properties is perused periodically, but a formal inspection is not conducted. It was moved by Berger, seconded by Lange, and carried unanimously to authorize the General Manger to extend leases on the three parcels at Conejo Creek Park, and the lease north of Wildwood Park for two additional years. C. Adoption Of Resolution Number 050897-A, A Resolution Setting Facility Fee And Charges Ward said that an annual review of charges is conducted, and the recommendation is essentially a five percent across the board increase, excluding the Teen and Goebel Centers' fees and the hourly fees for tennis and racquetball courts, all of which would remain the same. He noted that District policy allows fees to be discounted, based upon the nature of the group or activity and its compatibility with the District's mission. In response to Lange's inquiry, staff said that racquetball fees were increased last year, and the District's racquetball courts are the only ones currently available in the community. In response to Gillette's inquiry, Ward explained that the increase in facility fees reflects an increase in the cost of operations, maintenance, staffing, and cost of living, and the goal is to set fees close to the commercial market rate, and utilize adopted policy for fee discounts. Jacobsen noted that depreciation of capital assets should also be a consideration. He suggested that rental fees be adjusted up to the nearest dollar. Holt said that she did not agree. It was moved by Holt and seconded by Lange, to adopt Resolution Number 050897-A setting the Facility Fee and Charges for the Conejo Recreation and Park District, effective July 1,1997; that it be read in title only and all other readings be waived. Gillette said that he supports the resolution, but only if fees are adjusted upward to the nearest dollar. The motion carried with a majority vote 3-2; Berger, Holt, and Lange voted aye, Gillette and Jacobsen voted nay.
