The Facility Services Division is responsible for event management, facility leases, and daily reservations for use of the City’s park and recreation amenities. Customer activities include social and business events at the Community & Cultural Center (CCC), City-wide events, and use of the City’s athletic fields by local youth athletic associations among many others. Balancing cost-recovery with community access and affordability is the foundation for all recreation service delivery. The Facility Rental Team strives to balance local and regional use in order to ensure that the Morgan Hill commu- nity’s recreation facility needs are satisfied, while at the same time encouraging individuals and groups from the Bay Area to utilize the City’s facilities. This provides the City with an opportunity to serve its local athletic groups and generate additional revenue from large tournament rentals, including sales and transient occupancy taxes. The Facility Rental Team continually evaluates facility usage, user demand and CSD program needs. The team will be working on increasing rental of facilities during underutilized time periods. Two timeframes of focus are Friday eve- nings and Sunday afternoons. The team will also work towards increasing utilization by balancing membership, pro- gram and rental activities within the CCC.
