would pay $1 1.88 per month and the County would pay the same. Whenever SportsPlex <br />membership rates change in the future, the employee and County costs for permanent <br />employee memberships would be adjusted accordingly while maintaining the 50% discount, with <br />employee and County sharing the cost of the resulting membership rate. <br />Earlier this year, the BOGC created a SportsPlex Community Advisory Committee intended to <br />work periodically with RFP and staff to develop recommendations related to various facility <br />usage and policy matters, Following appointments by the BOCC of individuals to serve on that <br />committee, staff expect that a review will be conducted of other forms of discounts that may <br />already be offered, or might be considered, for other specific populations (e.g. seniors).. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no additional cost to the County of providing this employee <br />benefit, Funds have already been included in the BOCC-approved 2006-07 General Fund <br />budget far transfer to the SportsPlex Enterprise Fund to cover debt service and an operational <br />subsidy. The portion of employee memberships that would be paid by the County to the <br />SportsPlex fund would come from this existing appropriation. <br />RECOMMENDATION(Sj: The Manager recommends that the Board; 1) endorse the concept of <br />providing the 50% discount to employees off the regular published SportsPlex membership <br />rates, and having the employee and the County split equally the cost of the resulting <br />membership rate; and 2) direct the staff to take the necessary administrative steps to enroll and <br />maintain participating employees and carry out the appropriate financial transactions between <br />the General Fund and the SportsPlex Enterprise Fund. <br />
