MEMORANDUM
To: Hillsboro Parks & Recreation Commission From: Special Events Division - Alyssa McGhghy, Special Events Permit Coordinator Date: April 16, 2021 Subject: Administrative Authority for Third-Party Event Rentals ______
Requested Parks & Recreation Commission Action: Hillsboro Parks & Receation, Special Events Division staff is requesting administrative authority to negotiate third-party event rentals based on the four-tier special event rental rate system.
Background: The current administrative authority requirements are based off of a three-level system instead of the four-tier special event rental rate system.
As the process stands now, event rental applications are reviewed and approved either by Parks & Recreation Commission or internally depending on the scope of the event. Event rentals that require an additional level of evaluation include one or more of the following extraccuricular activities or requests: • Sound or music that is amplified past rented area • Events in a park location not normally used for special events • Groups/events of 50 or more in an unreserved area • To be held when parks are normally closed • Open to the public with possible ticketed admission and/or donations • Alcoholic beverages • Fireworks • Open flame like a candlelight vigil • Non-motorized vehicles in prohibited areas • Vending activities
Staff carefully vet event applications communicating and giving direction with the event host while at the same time getting internal feedback and input from others in the Parks department and other City of Hillsboro departments who have a vested interest in the proposed acvitity.
Thus far Hillsboro Parks & Recreation has managed many of these third-party events in the past and has had minimal/no problems associated with the activities. Based on the department’s ability to successfully evaluate and monitor these activities, staff requests the Parks & Recreation Commission give administrative authority to staff to approve public event rentals based off the four tier special event rental rate system. This updated approval process would consist of:

Page 6 of 8
Tier 1: Administration approves 100% of all free public events that are not gated; both first-time and reoccurring events.
Tierl 2: Administration approves 100% of all public events that generate sales but are not gated except for the alcohol area as required by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.
Tier 3: Parks & Recreation Commission must review events that are gated that are first-time, or existing events with new event producers, and/or major change(s) in event details and objective. Administration approves existing gated events with no major change(s) in event producers and/or event details and objective.
Tier 4: All exclusive/private events with special conditions will require Parks & Recreation Commission approval. Administration approves exclusive/private rentals with basic event details (example: private birthday party).
TIER 2 TIER 3 TIER 1 TIER 4 Public Events that Generate Public Events with Fenced Free Public Events Exclusive/Private Events Sales/Donations Entry Point or Fees Events with: Events with: Events with: Events with: • No sales • Sales • Sales • Closed to the public • No registration fees • • Registration fees No Registration fees • With or w/out fence • No entry fees • • Entry fees No Entry fees • May have alcohol • No donations/pledges • Fence • Donations/pledges may • • No fence • May have alcohol Other special conditions be taken • No alcohol • No admission fence except where OLCC may require • May have alcohol
Cost: There are no known costs associated with this request.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that Parks & Recreation Commission give administrative authority to staff to negotiate public event rentals based on the four-tier special event rental rates as outlined above.

MEMORANDUM
To: Hillsboro Parks & Recreation Commission
From: Bill Rothschild, Hidden Creek Facility Manager Paula Rose, Shute Park Aquatic & Recreation Center Manager
Date: June 8, 2021
Subject: Approval of Community Partnership Rate ______
Requested Parks & Recreation Commission Action: Staff requests Parks & Recreation Commission approval of a Community Partnership Rate for Hidden Creek Community Center and Shute Park Aquatic & Recreation Center.
Background: Staff is proposing that a Community Partnership Rate (CPR) be implemented at Hidden Creek Community Center and at Shute Park Aquatic & Recreation Center (SHARC). The CPR is defined as a 10% discounted membership for Hillsboro businesses and non-profit groups that enroll four or more individuals into a monthly or annual pass at either Hidden Creek or SHARC.
Hillsboro businesses such as Intel, Kaiser Permanente, Nike, Wells Fargo, and others would be encouraged to participate in programs, classes, and activities held at Hidden Creek and SHARC by purchasing or motivating employees to enroll in the CPR membership program at the two facilities. This meets the Hillsboro 2035 goal of supporting our local workforce by promoting healthier lifestyles and increases revenues at both facilities to offset the cost of providing reduced fee programs that benefit the community.
Hillsboro non-profit and charitable organizations that serve the greater Hillsboro area including Community Action, Centro Cultural, Oregon Food Bank, Pacific University, Virginia Garcia, and CASA for Children (among many others) would benefit from supporting healthy lifestyles and providing access to staff and residents. This would also help us meet the Hillsboro 2035 goal of supporting the community and our community partners.
Cost: There are no costs associated with implementing the Community Partnership Rate at Hidden Creek Community Center and at Shute Park Aquatic and Recreation Center.
