RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation

Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City has an established set of guidelines to regulate the use of City facilities by community groups. To qualify for reduced-cost use of parks amenities and facilities, groups must comply with the City's Co-Sponsorship Agreement.
As the Commission is aware, co-sponsored groups are those organizations that are recreational in nature, bring people of like interests together, and provide opportunities for social exchange and development. Benefits of co-sponsorship include modest staff support, shared promotional materials, the ability to participate in Department events, and reduced cost of facility usage as available. Each group is required to have a membership and governing board consisting of no less than 51% South San Francisco residents.
To maintain the privileges associated with co-sponsored status, groups are required to submit an annual report which includes program membership, and financial information based on the 2025 Calendar Year. Staff review the reports and prepare a summary and recommendation for the Parks and Recreation Commission.
