RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution rescinding City Council actions taken on June 21, 2010 and September 7, 2010
amending the Adult Soccer Reservation Surcharge and establishing the Surcharge for FY 2010-
2011.
DISCUSSION
On June 7, 2010, by Resolution 2010-023, the City Council adopted the Miscellaneous Fee
Schedule for Fiscal Year 2010-11 as part of the City's annual budget. On June 21, 2010 the City
Council amended Resolution 2010-023 to reduce the Adult Soccer Reservation Surcharge from
$28.18 per game to $14 per game. The purpose of the surcharge fee is to generate revenue to
convert a natural turf field to synthetic at the Dan Young Soccer Complex.
Shortly after the vote, as part of the actions taken by Resolution 2010-043, the City Council further
reduced the Adult Soccer Reservation Surcharge from $14 per game to $14 per day, and
suspended its collection for Fiscal Year 2010-2011.
Late in the week of September 7, 2010, Councilmembers Martinez and Tinajero notified City Staff
that they had become aware for the first time that they had each received a campaign contribution
in the amount of $500 from United Latin Soccer League, inc., one of the seven adult soccer
leagues that have annual reservation rights and are required to pay the Surcharge. Voting on
changes to. the Adult Soccer Reservation Surcharge in light of those contributions could be
construed as a violation of Charter Section 425.
In a letter to Mayor Pulido dated September 10, 2010, Councilmember Tinajero requested the
Mayor take steps to rescind and revote on the Soccer Surcharge matters so that the Council,
without his participation as well as that of Councilmember Martinez, could rectify the matter. At the
Mayor's request, this Council action item has been prepared to rescind both the June 21, 2010
amendment to the Surcharge as well as the September 7, 2010 amendment.
