DISCUSSION
The City's youth serving sport organizations traditionally sell snacks
during practices and games as a means of generating revenue for their
programs. The City currently has concession agreements with each of the
Little Leagues who play in City parks. Because obesity is well documented
as a growing problem among our nation's school age children, the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Agency is interested in providing healthy
alternatives to youth participating in park activities.
The recommended action will allow young athletes, their families and other
spectators to purchase healthy snacks from concession stands at Jerome Park
and Spurgeon Intermediate School soccer fields. The agreement stipulates
that youth soccer leagues will provide healthy snacks and disseminate
healthy nutrition and life style information.

These agreements will generate additional revenue for the youth sports
organizations that will, in turn, be used to reduce the cost of
participating in these programs. In addition, the youth soccer leagues will
provide educational materials that teach children and their families the
benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
