DIVISION DESCRIPTION
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. The Division is responsible for the concessionaire agreement for management of the City’s
Outdoor Sports Center. The facility is a driver for sports tourism for the City with nearly 500,000 visits annually.
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
community’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 Community Services Department
program needs. The team will be working on increasing rental of facilities during underutilized time periods. Two
timeframes of focus are Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. The team will also work toward increasing
utilization by balancing membership, program and rental activities within the CCC.
