On June 21 , 201 O the City <br />Council amended Resolution 2010 -023 to reduce the Adult Soccer Reservation Surcharge from <br />$28.18 per game to $14 per game. The purpose of the surcharge fee is to generate revenue to <br />convert a natural turf field to synthetic at the Dan Young Soccer Complex. <br />Shortly after the vote, as part of the actions taken by Resolution 201 0 -043, the City Council further <br />reduced the Adult Soccer Reservation Surcharge from $14 per game to $14 per day, and <br />suspended its collection for Fiscal Year 201 0 -201 1 . <br />Late in the week of September 7, 201 O, Councilmembers Martinez and Tinajero notified City Staff <br />that they had become aware for the first time that they had each received a campaign contribution <br />in the amount of $500 from United Latin Soccer League, inc., one of the seven adult soccer <br />leagues that have annual reservation rights and are required to pay the Surcharge. Voting on <br />changes to. the Adult Soccer Reservation Surcharge in light of those contributions could be <br />construed as a violation of Charter Section 425. <br />In a letter to Mayor Pulido dated September 10, 2010, Councilmember Tinajero requested the <br />Mayor take steps to rescind and revote on the Soccer Surcharge matters so that the Council, <br />without his participation as well as that of Councilmember Martinez, could rectify the matter. At the <br />Mayor's request, this Council action item has been prepared to rescind both the June 21 , 201 O <br />amendment to the Surcharge as well as the September 7, 201 O amendment. <br />55C -1 <br />
