These fees would be implemented for Fiscal Year 2009/2010. The fee schedule should then be presented to the City Council for approval. Lastly, staff would like to discuss with the Committee operational costs at Petersen Park Beach and McHenry Zor�e Skate and Bike Park and ask for guidance and feedback for change in fees and expenses (if any) to be implemented by staff for Fiscal Year 2009/2010: Section 1 I. Statement of Need—It is the responsibility of the parks and recreation department to offer a comprehensive program and provide public park land. Because ofthe heavy demands for new and expanded services and because of the rapid increase in ope.rating expenses, it has become necessary to adopt a sound and consistent policy that will guide the search and generation of supplementary revenues to tax dollars. II. Authority and Responsibility—The revenue policy was formaily adopted on , by the McHenry City Council and any revision�must come before the Council for approval. Council has authorized and charged the McHenry Parks and Recreation Department Director oversight in the implementation of the policy and to establish appropriate procedures to administer the policy's goals and guidelines. All fee guidelines will be approved by the Council. III. Statement of Philosophy—The basic philosophy ofthe City of McHenry Parks and Recreation Department program is to offer year round diversified recreation services, ensuring that all citizens have equal opportunity and participation. However, since the demand upori the Department is greater than the public's ability to appropriate public funds to support that demand, it becomes necessary to charge fees and pursue other supplementary revenues and resources. Fees and charges for parks and recreation services will provide only one source of finance for the Department.They will be thoroughly evaluated prior to their adoption into the fiscal matrix supporting public parks and recreation services; a matrix which includes general fund appropriations, contractual receipts, mandatory land dedication, grants-in-aid, and special gifts and donations. Fees and charges will supplement these other resources, not repiace them nor be used to diminish government's responsibility to provide public open space and leisure opportunities. Rather, fees and charges will be viewed as a method to expand and to continue to provide basic services on an equitable basis.The general benefit of services made possible . through fees and charges must exceed any detriment►mposed by the fees, and collections must be practical and economical. IV. Classification of Fees and Charges Guidelines a. Basic Services �.9�— i.

This included the altering of the infield,the relocation of the pitchers mound and the adjustment of the outfield fence distances.This was done at the request of the McHenry Baseball Association (MBA) to account for their team needs and their lack of fields that were set up for play the 80 foot level. The city has continued to work closely with the MBA throughout the years to improve facilities at Petersen Park to accommodate youth baseball in McHenry. This includes the construction of the scorers house/utility shed. More recently during the city's development of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, one comment that was heard time and again, particularly from MBA representatives, was for the city to identify and construct a field that could accommodate 90 foot base paths. This point was only reinforced with the water troubles that high school has had at their baseball fields over the past two years. These troubles had created a strain on everyone as teams attempted to find a facility to host their spring games. The MBA had requested to utilize Petersen Field #2 this spring for a number of older division games that required the 90 foot field. This however created a potential hazard for fans watching games on fields#3 and #4. With a short right field fence and no netting protection a long home run could reach those fans. Though certain precautions were taken there was no long term solution that cou�d be identified at that time. This situation has forced the city to delve into the potential options for Petersen Field #2. Also during this time the MBA developed another premiere 80 foot field at the VFW facility. The creation of this additional 80 foot field paved the way for the Petersen Park Field #2 to become the premiere 90 foot field that many had hoped for. The city has brought in a number of contractors to provide price estimates on renovating and converting field two to a 90 foot base path set up. This would include infield alterations, new backstop and new outfield fences, a section of 50 foot tall netting in the right field area to protect adjacent spectators and a new lighting system. These prices are provided on the attached spreadsheet as well as the proposed field layout. The city has had some discussions regarding potential partnerships to defray the cost of project and to ensure that it is a facility that our community can be proud of. The addition of a premiere 90 foot field to the city's inventory would allow the city to be able to host additional games for local euents such as the CABA World Series that is held each July. It also will provide a quality facility in McHenry that the MBA can utilize as they transition to an older age division.

R�.,-u<�. Are you looking to incorporate lifetime sports into your school's curriculum? Are you in charge of organizing a recreational company outing? Do you have people coming into your store asking,"Which way is the disc golf course?"The popular sport of disc golf is booming, especially here in Wisconsin, and I would like to help you incorporate disc sports into your curriculum, event calendar, or business. My name is Terry Miller, and I am the founder of Lifetime Disc Sports, LLC. I have organized and competed in disc golf events for over 13 years. Since I have been involved in disc sports, I have played an active role in turning Wisconsin into a disc golf hotbed. My on-the-course accomplishments include numerous tournament wins at both the amateur and the professional level, two gold medals at the Badger State Games, and a top-40 finish at the World Championships in 2003. In addition to playing the sport that I love, I also hold the elected position of Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA)State Coordinator, serve on the Wisconsin Disc Sports Association committee, and participate in the Great Lakes Disc Golf Club. In the past year alone, I have organized, promoted, and directed numerous PDGA-sanctioned tournaments and weeknight leagues throughout the greater Milwaukee area. I am also a certified vendor of Discraft, Innova, and DGA disc golf inerchandise. Since I decided to make my knowledge and skill as a disc player and tournament organizer available to the public, I have been actively promoting disc sports as a lifetime fitness activity. I have hosted clinics and demonstrations sponsored by park districts and schools, organized charitable disc sports fundraisers, designed and installed courses, and most recently, taught a disc sports class at UW-Parkside. 2008 is underway and I am excited to answer your questions about disc sports. Whether you are in need of a personal lesson or are just looking for information, please contact Lifetime Disc Sports, LLC and let me assist you.
