DISCUSSION Attached for your review is the proposed 2013 softball/baseball schedule. The City has received four (4) applications for use of the fields for the upcoming season Andover Athletic Association (AAA), Andover Baseball Association (ABA), TCMABL Dodgers and Legacy Academy. At this point, AAA has indicated that they would like maintain the same arrangement with the Andover Baseball Association (ABA) regarding the use of Sunshine Park Fields 5 and 6 on Tuesday's and Thursday's. This means ABA would only use these fields on Tuesday's and Thursday's when they have games scheduled. The other applications is from TCMABL Dodgers, an adult men's baseball team that received approval of Andover Station North Ball Field Facility last year (2012) and Legacy Christian Academy. At this point staff would not recommend approval of the TCMABL Dodgers application until the fees are paid in full and certificate of insurance has been submitted. They are looking to use ASN on Sunday night's from 4 pm to 8 pm. Legacy Christian Academy has requested the use of Timber Trails Park ball field for their JV team practices during the months of April and May (see attached sheet for days being requested). Staff would recommend approval of Legacy Christian Academy application for practices since none of the days would conflict with ABA use of Timber Trails Park ball field. The City has received applications for use of the fields from the following youth groups (chart does not include TCMABL Dodgers men's baseball team or Legacy Christian Academy): Note: Copies of the certification of participants, By -laws, the 5010's, the certificate of insurance and the established grievance procedures for the AAA and ABA are available from City staff if you would like to review them. of 2012 Democratic Certificate Established Name of Group Participants Procedures & 501 C3 of Grievance om Andover Elections State Insurance Procedures Andover Athletic 82% Yes Yes Yes Yes Assoc.

Guideline Statement A key goal of the City of Andover's Parks & Recreation Commission's function is to provide a rich variety of recreational opportunities to residents in the most cost efficient manner possible. To achieve this goal, the City will emphasize a partnership with Andover's volunteer organizations to plan, organize, and implement youth recreational programs both as a means of containing service costs and as a method of ensuring a community -based program. 2. Procedures The City may recognize any number of associations based on the availability of resources and determination of the benefit to the community by the Parks & Recreation Commission. To qualify as a recognized City of Andover youth athletic association, the association must provide: 2.1.1. Unless specified by sanctioning or governing bodies, youth sports program(s) must be open to all residents (regardless of their school affiliation). The programs shall be targeted to have a minimum of 51% participation from Andover residents based on the previous year participation in that association. The number of participants must obtained from the State organization for that particular association or sport or the president of the particular association must sign a affidavit as to the accuracy of the number of participants last year from Andover. 2.1.2. Democratic procedures and elections that ensure input from the residents regarding the program and policies. The Parks Coordinator shall be provided a copy of the group's by -laws with the required field application. 2.1.3. All associations must provide verification that they have 501 cQ or equivalent non - profit status with the State of Minnesota. 2.1.4. Certificate of insurance, which also names the City of Andover as "Additional Insured ". H:\Engineering \Parks \Guidelines for field usage Youth Athletic Associations Policy.doc 2.1.5. Established grievance procedures, as outlined by association by -laws. 2.1.6. Duplication of sport offering by associations is not encouraged. Example: If more than one recognized association offers the same level of competitiveness, this shall trigger the field allocation clause. The number of Andover residents within each of the associations will determine the percentage of fields that will be allocated to the particular association. 2.2. In return, qualifying associations will receive from the City priority use of City - owned facilities. This means that all required information/documentation must be provided by the association to the City of Andover before an application submitted by that association can be accepted for use of the City's facilities. Note: The Park and Recreation Commission has the authority to review the number of fields that are being_requested by the association. The final determination will be made by the Park and Recreation Commission based on need for the association. Acknowledgment of the groups as providers of their respective sport offerings. As part of this, the City does not offer programs in these areas, but refers resident to these organizations. 2.3. Youth athletic associations are valued partners to the City in providing organized recreational opportunities. Consequently, serious conflicts arising within or between associations and resident groups that threaten the quality of those recreational opportunities are of concern to the City. 2.4. Barring a legal imperative to the contrary, the City's role in resolving such conflicts is limited to encouraging the association board and party in conflict to work through the problem, according to existing by -laws, with staff representatives providing facilitation and information, as needed. 3. Responsibility The Parks Coordinator or a city representative will work with the various athletic associations to ensure the responsibilities are being met. Staff through the grievance procedure addresses concerns from the general public. Revised and approved by City Council on 12/4/07 H: \Engineering\Parks \Guidelines for field usage Youth Athletic Associations Policy.doc Regular Andover Park & Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes —March 7, 2013 Page 6 A list of possible improvements that was prepared by the Andover YMCA Community Center Advisory Commission during a recent brainstorming session was provided to the Commission. On behalf of the Park Commission Chairman Butler serves on the Advisory Commission and presented this to the Park Commission members for discussion. The list was provided for Commission review. Chair Butler stated the Commission is not determining where items with expansion would be located but rather functionality. Organized activities for youth are currently being held in conference rooms which are not ideal. They are looking at what might bring revenue to the Community Center. The YMCA is very interested in an expansion and they will be a partner in the process. They are a leaseholder in the current facility. Commissioner Stenzel stated the YMCA is doing very well and they are the second most profitable YMCA in the metro area. Accessibility is a huge problem for the YMCA. There is one elevator but it is not centrally located. Commissioner Melberg stated he read an article about in Europe stationary bikes are generating power. Commissioner Stenzel stated the outdoor splash pad is a good idea. His family goes to the YMCA every day. An outdoor water area for families is a good idea. There is some maintenance involved but the new splash pads are low maintenance. Chair Butler asked for additions to the list. Commissioner Stenzel asked if the Community Center is LEED certified. After some discussion the Commission Mr. Haas stated he does not believe it is and suggested the discussion of possible improvements be added to the March 21 agenda as a an workshop item. Commissioner Lindahl requested a discussion item be added to the March 21 agenda requests for fields by high school teams and whether a fee should be paid. Mr. Haas stated per the policy youth and non - profits are free. Commissioner Lindahl asked it be discussed. Chair Butler stated a review of the policy would be a good idea. ADJOURNMENT OF WORKSHOP SESSION Motion by Commissioner Lewnau, seconded by Commissioner Miskowiec, to adjourn the workshop session at 8:10 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Van Vark) vote.
