RYBSA Facility Fees and Youth Baseball Sustainability
Summary
A new fee schedule would cost the volunteer-run youth baseball league $16,500 a year — enough to bankrupt it. The council crafted a three-year phase-in starting at zero fees, with the league covering lights, deposits, and field prep and pursuing grants and sponsorships.

Impact analysis
The league avoids an immediate $16,500 bill but will owe 25% then 50% of fees in years two and three.
About 193 young players and their families keep affordable baseball and softball in Riverbank.
Other nonprofits using city fields may seek similar waivers, potentially straining the parks department's 16% cost recovery.
