OLD BUSINESS
Field Use Policy — Staff Report; Glomstad noted two items outstanding from the last meeting,
how staff is to manage the penalty fee for subletting of fields and the fee structure for the per
player fee.
Regarding the penalty fee for subletting, the staff worked with the City Attorney and determined
the best method to manage the penalty fee was to have it approved by City Council. The
proposed administrative fine will be going before Council on Monday, April 20.
Glomstad reported Supervisor Barry, in an effort to gain more insight and research on the issue,
attended a school district liaison meeting on fields and a meeting of local cities that discussed the
issue as it affected their user groups. Supervisor Barry then met with city user groups to discuss
the fee structure for the per player fee. Various options were discussed. At this time, staff is not
ready to present a structure proposal to the Commission. Glomstad solicited input and questions
from Commission. Suggestions are to start with the validation process and determine more as
the process moves along. Staff is striving to determine the clearest and most efficient process to
manage the fee structure.
Chair Martin opened public comment on the item.
Robert Bierman, AYSO, spoke to commission asking for flexibility during the validation process
and throughout the year as the group may not have the requested information at the ready when
requested by staff. Regarding the per player fee, he feels it is not fair to charge for players that
do not use Burlingame fields just because they are part of an overarching organization that a
portion of the players use Burlingame fields.
Kieron Saunders, Burlingame Soccer Club, hopes all will work out with the user groups working
together to a mutual agreement on the issue.
