Sonora, CA — The board of supervisors scrapped an earlier plan to charge visitor entrance fees at Standard Park and will instead increase the cost for leagues to rent fields.
For youth sports, the existing fee is $7.75 per field/per hour, and for adult teams, it is $18. It will go up to $25 for both youth and adult leagues, effect the coming seasons. The idea is that it can be spread out among the participants, instead of charging fees for spectators. It was noted at the meeting that groups like Tuolumne County Youth Soccer supported a field rental increase as opposed to a new entry fee system.
Library and Recreation Director Eric Aitken noted that community members have also expressed some interest in developing a Friends of the Recreation Department type group, similar to the existing Friends of the Library. They would play a role in raising extra money for recreation department efforts.
The board of supervisors supported the fee increase on fields, 5-0, and several board members praised county staff members for meeting with stakeholders and finding alternative solutions to the earlier proposed entry fee system.
The fee increase comes as the county is bracing for the likelihood of steep budget shortfalls in the coming years. In recent years, Tuolumne County government has covered, out of the General Fund, 70% of the costs to operate recreation programs with the remaining money coming from sources like fees.
