“Placerville, a Unique Historical Past Forging into a Golden Future”

City Manager’s Report September 24, 2019, City Council Meeting Prepared by: Matt Lishman, Recreation Superintendent Item#: 8.5

Subject: Adopt a Resolution: 1.) Approving a $18.00 increase in the Adult 5x5 team registration fee from $451.00 to $469.00 per team effective January 1, 2020; and 2.) Approving a $5.00 increase in the Adult 3x3 Basketball team registration fee from $127.00 to $132.00 per team effective January 1, 2020; and 3.) Approving a $10.00 increase in the Adult 4x4 team registration fee from $165.00 to $175.00 per team effective January 1, 2020; and 4.) Approving a $17.00 increase in the Adult team registration fee from $509.00 to $526.00 per team effective January 1, 2020.

Purpose: To adjust the City’s Adult Basketball, Adult Volleyball, and Adult Softball team registration fees to recover the associated personnel cost increase.

Background: On January 1, 2019, California’s minimum wage increased $1.00 to $12.00 per hour and will increase again on January 1, 2020 by $1.00 to $13.00 per hour. In addition to the minimum wage increase on January 1, 2020 the official’s fees for 5x5 Basketball will be increasing by $1.00 to $26.00 per official and official’s fees for softball will be increasing by $2.00 to $30 per official. These increases will have a financial impact on the City’s Adult leagues.

Discussion: Staff conducted a fee comparison survey with similar agencies (Attachment A) and analyzed current user data in order to attempt to establish new adult sports team registration fees that would generate additional revenue without discouraging participation. Staff recognizes the importance of recreation programs remaining self-supporting. This can be accomplished through a variety of strategies including: a) increasing user fees, b) increasing program participation and attendance, and c) program reorganization.

Adult 5x5 Basketball The City’s Adult 5x5 Basketball League takes place at El Dorado High School in the large gym. Games are played year round on Sunday nights, with the exception of one month during summer when they resurface the gym floor. There are four leagues a year; winter, spring, late summer, and fall. An average of 18 teams participated per year over the last three years. Staff anticipates 20 teams will participate during the 2019-20 Fiscal Year.

Page 2 The following table shows the anticipated cost increase in the 2019-20 Fiscal Year:

Adult 5x5 Basketball 2018-19 Fiscal Year 2019-20 Fiscal Year Total Increase Part-Time Personnel Costs $2,757 $2,987 $230 Officials Costs 3,200 3,328 128 Total Costs $5,957 $6,315 $358

This increase will have a financial impact on the Recreation Division’s annual operating budget for the 2019-20 Fiscal Year. In order to offset the additional expenditures in the Adult 5x5 Basketball League, staff is recommending a team registration fee increase of $18.00, from $451.00 to $469.00 per team, effective January 1, 2020. This will put league fees in-line with similar surrounding agencies.

The following table shows the total projected revenue increase based on the proposed registration fee:

Adult 5x5 Basketball # of Teams Proposed Increase Additional Revenue

20 $18.00 $360.00

Adult 3x3 Basketball The City’s Adult 3x3 Basketball League takes place at Markham Middle School in the gym. Games are played year round on Wednesday nights. There are five leagues a year.

Adult 3x3 Basketball 2018-19 Fiscal Year 2019-20 Fiscal Year Total Increase Part-Time Personnel Costs $2,308 $2,501 $193

Options: 1.) Approve the proposed Adult Sports Team Registration Fees. 2.) Direct staff to take other action.

Cost: Operational costs associated with conducting the City of Placerville’s Adult Sports Programs have escalated to the point that staff is recommending a team registration fee increase to take effect January 1, 2020.

The following table identifies the overall additional expense and the additional projected revenue associated with each program.

Program Additional Expenses Additional Revenue Difference Adult 5x5 Basketball $358 $360 $2 Adult 3x3 Basketball 193 200 7 Adult 4x4 Volleyball 210 210 - Adult Softball 3,044 3,043 (1) Total $3,805 $3,813 $8

Budget Impact: These cost increases were included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2019-20 Operating Budget. The proposed team registration fee schedule is located in Attachment “B.” With the proposed team registration fees in place, the Adult Sports Programs will likely remain self-supporting, assuming participation levels remain consistent. Staff will continue to implement strategies to increase participation and analyze the effects of fee increases.

Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution: 1.) Approving a $18.00 increase in the Adult 5x5 Basketball team registration fee from $451.00 to $469.00 per team effective January 1, 2020; and 2.) Approving a $5.00 increase in the Adult 3x3 Basketball team registration fee from $127.00 to $132.00 per team effective January 1, 2020; and 3.) Approving a $10.00 increase in the Adult 4x4 Volleyball team registration fee from $165.00 to $175.00 per team effective January 1, 2020; and 4.)
