ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Hottle, Lambert, Streng, Wahl, and Chairperson Kinzer. NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 5. Review of Operations and Proposed Fee Changes for the Pleasanton Tennis Complex Mr. Spiller introduced the Commission to representatives from Lifetime Tennis and provided background information regarding the operation of the Tennis Complex by Lifetime Tennis. He advised that Lifetime Tennis acts as the City's agent in all matters related to tennis operation, including staffing the facility, taking activity registration, processing payments and handling all customer service matter. Having Lifetime Tennis take over these responsibilities since 2009 has resulted in approximately $60,000 in annual savings to the City's general fund. Mr. Spiller commented on services Lifetime Tennis provides that include the pro shop, sale and repair of tennis racquets, general tennis supplies and snacks/refreshments. Additionally, he noted that Lifetime Tennis has made contributions that include new flooring for the front lobby, office and pro shop and City improvements have included restrooms, benches, and shade structures. The Commission reviewed with Mr. Spiller terms of the Lifetime Tennis Services Agreement that was established on January 1, 2011 and continues through December 31, 2015. They were advised that in the initial year of the agreement Lifetime Tennis was obligated to pay the City 10% of all gross revenues up to $400,000, and 5% of gross revenue over $400,000. In subsequent years the fee the City receives increases throughout the term of the Agreement as the baseline for gross revenues is increased by $25,000 annually Mr. Spiller noted that as part of a fee review process for the Tennis Complex, a survey of 12 Bay Area community-based tennis programs and that of the Pleasanton Unified School District's court rental fees were compared. This survey showed that the level of customer service being provided at the Pleasanton Tennis Complex surpasses those in other areas, and even with a fee increase would be providing an outstanding program at an impressive value. Commissioners reviewed the 2014 Tennis Program Fee Survey and discussed the proposed fee increases. Commissioner Wahl felt that after comparing fees at other locations, the City of Pleasanton could charge more, and thought court use and reservations could also be increased.
