Mr. Brents reported the following details regarding the Tennis Program as follows:

The tennis program is on hiatus from April 2018 – June 2018. Mr. Brents welcomed the Board to

invite Mr. Menjivar to the Dais for comments.

Chair Britt stated that he would like to see current numbers prior to discussing the Tennis

Program, Mr. Brents stated that Mr. Salcedo will provide updates for attendance numbers.

4

Mr. Menjivar approached the dais for the following comments:

He made a mistake on the email stating that he is only on hiatus for the month of April, due to

his hectic schedule and does not want to create confusion for the patrons attending classes.

Commissioner Morrison clarified that classes will resume in May.

Mr. Menjivar responded stating in a week in a half or two, he will email Mr. Brents and Mr.

Salcedo dates and times when the program will restart.

Chair Britt stated that Commission meetings are the first Tuesday of each month, perhaps this

item should be reviewed in June.

Mr. Menjivar stated that he will be here, just not available to host the tennis lessons.

Chair Britt asked if the Commission will have updated numbers by the May meeting date, Mr.

Brents replied no not until June. Mr. Brents continued stating registration depends on Mr.

Menjivar’s schedule, his availability dictates the schedule.

Commissioner Morrison asked if the Commission would receive updates on the previously

recorded attendance numbers, specifically the numbers for the last tennis session.

Mr. Brents stated that at the last meeting, Mr. Menjivar was requesting that the Commission

consider his request to increase his split to 70/30%. The attendance numbers were supposed to be

reviewed in comparison to the original time this request was made, Mr. Brents did not have the

exact date of the first request to increase to 70/30% split. Mr. Brents continued telling the

Commission that staff will provide the attendance numbers from the tennis class ending in March

to compare with upcoming registrations in May.

Commissioner Morrison wants to address that the City is looking for ways to make revenue, in

regards to the split, she understands the City is still on the negative side even with the 60/40%

split.

Mr. Brents stated that the Tennis program revenues are divided as 60% to the instructor, and

40% pays for the 1 page advertisement, marketing and registration/administration costs. Mr.

Brents will provide the details for what costs are covered in the 40%. He continued stating

reasonable cost recovery is between 2-4%, the City hardly recovers the costs. A considerable

cost comparison to the City of Colton per-capita is; Rialto spends $7.90 per person while city of

Colton spends $34 per person thus Rialto is more efficient with less spending. Mr. Brents offered

to present fully burdened rates to Commissioners to review.

Commissioner Morrison asked, when comparing cities, how do we know what is being offered

for these rates?

5

Mr. Brents responded stating the comparisons to consider are what the City’s offer to instructors,

benefits may be different.

Chair Britt and Commissioner Morrison wanted to verify if this item will come back in June.

Mr. Brents stated it will be an action item in June.

C. Project Updates

1. Public Works CIP Projects

total of three bids were received and currently under review with City Staff, award of contract is

the funds can be awarded.

ADA related improvements for existing park area continues and are being incorporated into the

construction documents for overall expansion.

Mr. Brents added, Frisbie Park ADA Improvements and Expansion projects have been combined

into one project, construction time is expected at 14 months.

Chair Britt questioned if the City can afford to continue the expansion?

Mr. Brents stated yes, costs have been evaluated and funds have been identified.

Hector added that the city hired a Construction Manager (CM) to ensure the City is within

reasonable costs for construction due to the complexity of the project.

6

Mr. Brents mentioned that hiring the Construction Manager is normal to be sure that costs are

contained.

Chair Britt wants to ensure that the costs to complete projects does not fall back onto the

residents in Rialto.

Mr. Gonzalez stated that the ADA updates being combined with the expansion equates to a

savings by condensing the two projects into one, the CM’s scope of work will maintain this idea.

Mr. Brents and Mrs. Lewis displayed a short video of the Frisbie Park construction.

This ended the report on CIP Projects.

that Mrs. Lewis will organize another tour including some of the newer developments in the

Chair Britt asked; what are the benefits of maintaining the Historical Facilities?

Mr. Brents stated that we can preserve the City’s history while keeping the groups accountable

for access to historical sites and information.

a. Ad-Hoc on Youth Commission Formulation – Report

Mr. Salcedo stated that information was dispersed for By-laws recommendations and a group has

been identified to initiate the Teen center Advisory group.

advisory ideas with our commission.

Mr. Salcedo stated that he only contacted Felix yesterday and did not yet receive a response.

Also, he offered to have members of our AdHoc Committee appear at Fontana’s meeting for

observation.

Mr. Brents continued stating in the last 6months, the City hosted/sponsored 2 Plays this year; one

was hosted at Rialto High School due to capacity restraints at the Sandra Courtney Theater, the

second Play held at the Sandra Courtney Theater. He stated that Sandra Courtney is open to

meeting with the AdHoc Committee this week or next week.

with RCP and she is happy that both groups are now seeing eye to eye.

Chair Britt will call or email Mr. Brents with a final date to meet with Sandra Courtney.

c. Ad-Hoc on Sports Lighting Fee

Mr. Brents recapped the AdHoc meetings stating that the first meeting there was a representative

from the Sports Alliance groups and the Rec & Parks Commission. Based on observations, Mr.

Brents will add this item as an Action item if Commissioner Morrison and Chair Britt agree as

AdHoc representatives.

Chair Britt stated that he believes the parents were in agreement with the $5 fee, he is also in

agreement with the fee for now.

Mr. Christopher Robinson – Rialto Girls Softball

Mr. Robinson is in agreement that the expenses can be offset by charging facility players fees.

The league agreed that $5 was reasonable for each participating player, but asked will this same

fee theory apply to another area later on and wanted to clarify if this is a facility fee, or lighting

only fee?

Mr. Brents clarified that the concern of Mr. Robinson is, what future costs can be expected? He

responded stating he does not know what to expect yet, but this is the only fee for now. Mr.

Brents mentioned that the leagues are finding sponsors to offset costs, he will also find the costs

8

for grass cutting and other maintenance needs. Also, Mr. Brents hopes that the City can find

ways to offset costs outside of participants and rules for light usage will also apply.

Commissioner Britt asked what language will be used to recommend this fee to City Council?

Mr. Brents stated we will use the language of “Participant Fee” in the field allocation policy, he

will bring the policy language back to the Commission for confirmation. Mr. Brents asked the

Commission if they accept the suggested $5 participant fee, the commission agreed to accept the

recommendation from the lighting AdHoc Committee. This item will be an action item in May.

Commissioner Luna asked how the $5 was determined.

Mr. Brents stated there were multiple options presented such as $5, one flat fee, the unanimous

vote was $5 participation fee. He explained that public participation builds more community

engagement and allow the groups to be a part of the decision making processes. Supporting the

organized sports programs builds relationships and a safe haven for youth.

Commissioner Luna asked if the new LED lights were considered when electing a price.

Mr. Brents stated yes, costs will go down with the new lights, but the usage will remain the

same. The remote control lighting will be implemented ant Rialto City Park and Bud Bender

soon. Also, penalties for improper use will be discussed as well.

Mr. Robinson stated that the entire season could bring $6,000 estimated per year.

Mr. Brents stated he will bring a cost capture based on attendance last year with light usage.

Commissioner Morrison asked how will the City determine the honesty of attendance numbers.

Mr. Brents stated the Rialto Youth Sports Alliance group was developed to build a conglomerate

between the City and the Youth Sports Groups. Also, Rosters are submitted listing all

participants.

Mr. Salcedo also stated most leagues have a list of teams and participants online.
