Subject and Issue
Discussion regarding policies for Sports field's usage
Background
As the commission is aware we have iMPlemented the planning process on designing
the eight school sites for renovation. As we begin to evaluate the scope of users
and the nature of residents ccWlaints, it is apparent that there are a number of
policy issues around field usage that the commission needs to address.
Camnissioner Lohmiller, who represents the commission in this effort, has asked
that we begin to evaluate the current policies and in light of decreasing City
revenues, project future policies for the use of park and school fields.
It is not necessary to come to a decision at the February meeting, but at the
very least, we should begin discussion around the following points.
1. Non-permit use - unauthorized use
2. Sunday usage
3. Fhforeement of field use policies
4. Usage during inclement weather
Currently, the City of Cupertino does not permit sports fields on Sundays. The
philosophical base for this is that we want to keep those spaces available for
neighborhood drop-in usage on Sundays. However, even though we may not issue use
permits, in reality all of our fields are used very heavily on Surr]ay, thus
precluding neighborhood drop-in play. As you might guess, it is going to be very
difficult to design a policy that addresses the need for controlled use and yet
still allows adequate drop-in access. None the less, it is becoming iterative
that we address this issue.
