3.15.010 Establishment of fees and crediting of funds.
The following fees shall be collected by city staff, and deposited in the city’s general fund:
(1) For reservation of ball fields for tournaments located at Barendse Park. A tournament is defined as numerous teams competing for a single title which involves multiple qualifying games played until only one champion team remains.
(a) Tournament (one field, all day):
• $50.00 if greater than 50 percent of participants reside within the city limits of Hubbard
• $100.00 if less than 50 percent of participants reside within the city limits of Hubbard
(b) Tournament (both fields, all day):
• $100.00 if greater than 50 percent of participants reside within the city limits of Hubbard
• $200.00 if less than 50 percent of participants reside within the city limits of Hubbard
(c) Tournament information, including information demonstrating percentage of participants who reside within the city limits of Hubbard, must be provided to city staff on the Barendse Park ball field permit application.
(2) For use of one key for the restrooms for a ball season a $25.00 fee will be required.
(3) Each organization that has 50 percent or more of its participants who reside within the city limits of Hubbard shall pay a cleanup and repair fee of $100.00 at the beginning of the playing season. Each organization that has less than 50 percent of its participants who reside within the city limits of Hubbard shall pay a cleanup and repair fee of $200.00 at the beginning of the playing season. Team information, including information demonstrating percentage of participants who reside within the city limits of Hubbard, must be provided to city staff on the team’s application form.
(4) Additional costs incurred by the city because of abuse or excessive cleanup/repair shall be charged to the reserving group creating the need for additional expenses (costs). The city council will determine the actual charges to be reimbursed to the city, after viewing documentation presented by the utility department staff, including pictures taken before repairs and cleanup. Such excessive abuse may result in the team or group forfeiting future entitlement to the use of the park facilities. (Ord. 339-2014 § 1; Ord. 335-2013 § 2; Reso. 121-87 § 1, 1987)
3.15.020 Rules for use of the park facilities by groups and individuals.
(1) All groups requesting to use park facilities more than twice in any six-month period must provide a roster or other information to city staff demonstrating the percentage of their participants who reside within the city limits of Hubbard. If two or more groups apply for park use for the same date and time, those groups which have the higher percentage rate of their participants residing within the city limits of Hubbard will be given first choice for the use of the park facilities. Once a group’s reservation has been approved, that decision is final regardless of participant residency, and groups will not be removed from the official schedule due to low participant residency.
(2) Preparation and maintenance of the playing fields will be the responsibility of all groups using the fields. In the event that the various teams cannot come to an amicable agreement, the matter of preparing and maintaining the fields will be referred to the city council for arbitration.
(3) The city will continue to perform routine maintenance only, such as grass mowing. (Ord. 335-2013 § 2; Reso. 121-87 § 2, 1987)
3.15.030 Waiver.
A request for the waiver of any of the provisions imposed by this chapter must be directed to the city council for their consideration and/or approval. (Ord. 335-2013 § 2; Reso. 121-87 § 3, 1987)
