6. Discussion and Background
Sports Field Maintenance and Renovation Reimbursement
In September 2000, the City Council approved a 25-year joint-use agreement with Rancho Santiago Community College District (District) for the use of two soccer fields located at Santiago Canyon College (SCC) for education and recreational activities benefitting the community. Per the terms of the agreement, the District and the City agree to pay fair share for the maintenance and utility costs associated with the fields. The City’s fair share costs for 2019 is $ 35,318.98.
The Community Services Department has developed a cooperative program with ongoing youth sports groups to fund annual maintenance and renovation of sports fields. Through the program, user groups reimburse the City for the repetitive use of the sports fields in order to cover maintenance and renovation costs according to use.
Orange Junior Soccer Club (OJSC), a City approved youth sports group, is currently the sole user group permitted to use the SCC soccer fields. As a part of the cooperative program referenced above, OJSC has paid the City $35,318.98 for its annual field use at SCC. Staff is requesting the appropriation of this amount to the expenditure account. The City will then pay SCC.
