Brautigam, City Manager DATE: November 15, 2007 INITIATED BY: Matt Eannan, Director of Recreation Services Memo RE: Resolution 69-07 -Dublin Middle Tier Soccer Organization Amended Agreement Background At the May 21, 2007 Council meeting, staff presented details regarding the request from the Dublin Middle Tier Soccer Organization (DMTSO) and three of its teams to amend the existing Agreement between the organization and the City. The primary reason for this request was the desire of team parents and players to involve themselves in a higher level of competitive soccer outside the existing club franchise constructs that have existed for many years. The requested amendments would enable any of the DMTSO teams to play in various leagues, primarily the Mid- Ohio Select Soccer League (MOSSL), by reducing relevant limitations within the Agreement. DMTSO requested that the City remove the geographic restrictions regarding teams' playing area; allow the carding of players for more than the limited tournament options; and remove other relevant obstacles prohibiting the DMTSO from fully participating in leagues other than the Greater Ohio Youth Soccer League (GOYSL.) Summary At the direction of City Council, staff and the Chairtnan of the Dublin Soccer League (DSL) have worked jointly to facilitate several discussions with the various organization representatives in efforts to establish along-term solution to this issue. Efforts were made to work as closely as possible within the framework of the current Agreements. A wide range of alternatives were discussed, including canceling the Agreements with the various organizations and administering all soccer programs solely through DSL, to adding another fully fledged club with similar Agreements to those with the club organizations. After lengthy discussion, it was determined that amendments to the DMTSO Agreement were deemed the only practical alternative capable of satisfying this particular request. The following is a summary of the recommended changes to the current DMTSO Agreement (see Exhibit A): League Participation and Playing Area: Currently, the league participation is dictated primarily by the seven county geographic limitations. Under the amended Agreement, such limitations have been expanded to include any league that schedules the majority of its games within a sixty (60) mile distance from Dublin's corporate limits. Any DMTSO teams participating in the Mid Ohio Memo to Council re DMTSO Agreement November 15, 2007 Page 2 of 3 Select Soccer League (MOSSL) will be declared/represented through the discretion of DSL, provided all requirements have been met. Tournament Participation: The current Agreement permits players to be carded for tournaments located within the seven county limits. The amended Agreement will permit players to be carded and participate in tournaments within the state of Ohio. All tournaments must be confirmed prior to the start of the season. Player Expenditures: The current Agreement has no limitations toward player expenditures. Under the amended Agreement, all known costs, except travel expenses, will need to be identified and agreed to prior to registration for each participant, parent or guardian. Costs will include all tournaments, and are not to exceed the pre-determined amount by more than fifteen percent. Minimal Play Requirement: There are no restrictions specified under the current Agreement. The amended Agreement will require DMTSO and its coaches to ensure each eligible player is afforded at least fifty percent playing tune over the course of the season. Agreement Term: Currently, the Agreement has an initial term of three (3) years. The amended Agreement has a term of one (1) year. This change has been made to coincide with the termination dates of the agreements governing the club teams (OP and OFC). Future Considerations Amending the Agreement with DMTSO is not a comprehensive solution to the issues that will continue to arise. As the parameters and growth of these teams continue, the scheduling of City fields becomes a challenge. Recreational soccer being the City's number one priority, the potential growth and expansion of these alternative organizations may require limitations in order to preserve the quality and resources of the recreation program. Given the growth of the City of Dublin, the increasing soccer interests and abilities, and the changing objectives of the various organizations, there is no one solution that is simple and thoroughly accommodating to the wishes of all parties involved. In order to maintain a comprehensive quality soccer program with so many competing interests, staff recommends that City Council consider referring all future requests for changes to the soccer programs to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. This would allow the soccer league representatives a public forum in which to be heard as well as a committee whose focus would be to resolve these issues. Staff would work with PRAC to develop a set of formalized criteria to lay the foundation for Dublin soccer programs to be reviewed and adopted by City Council (e.g., recreational soccer is the highest priority; use and allocation of City resources/fields; etc.). In addition, PRAC could make recommendations concerning the term of the various agreements with the soccer organizations and develop an objective review process to effectively manage any proposed changes to ensure the criteria or objectives of the overall soccer program are met. Memo to Council re DMTSO Agreement November 15, 2007 Page 3 of 3 Due to the growing changes within Dublin's soccer community, it is staff's opinion that there is no single solution that will ultimately satisfy the various soccer organizations or all residents of the community. Offering an objective, unbiased and community-based approach to fully analyze the development of youth soccer programs for the City of Dublin will enable future requests to be appropriately evaluated prior to approval and implementation. Recommendation Staff recommends that: (a) City Council approve the attached amendments to the Agreement between the City and DMTSO; and (b) that Council refer all matters related to the soccer agreements to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. PRAC will then examine the issues and report back to the City Council by the second meeting in March 2008 with preliminary recommendations for the future handling of amendments to the agreements. Final recommendations would be submitted to Council by November 2008.
