INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to request approval of a new fee schedule for the Alliant
Energy Amphitheater.
BACKGROUND
When the Amphitheater first became available for rental the fee was set at $200/day.
The fee has not been changed since when the Amphitheater opened around 2003.
The Amphitheater's history of rentals has been as follows:
ALLIANT ENERGY AMPH ITHEATER-$200
2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019
(as of lune 11,2018)
30 30 25 35 36 45 34 33 10
Rentals are taken up to 23 months in advance thus 2018 and 2019 are reservations to
date.
DISCUSSION
As a staff we periodically review the fees charged throughout the Leisure Services
Department. When one considers the fees of other wedding and event venues the fees
charged are recommended to be adjusted.
Staff proposes the fees to be adjusted from $200 per day to $300 per day for rentals on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Rentals on Monday through Thursday would remain at
the $200 per day fee. Staff further recommends a four-hour rental for Monday through
Thursday events only of $75. This would allow the opportunity for smaller events during
1
the week such as movies or other events requiring minimum set up time. The $75 fee is
equal to the fee for the American Trust River's Edge Plaza. This fee is being set to
encourage usage of the Amphitheater during the week.
Staff recommends that the new fee schedule be implemented July 1 , 2018. Rentals
already in place for 2018 and 2019 will not be charged any additional however new
rentals would be charged the higher fee.
The Parks and Recreation Commission at their June 12, 2018 meeting reviewed this
request and recommend approval.
ACTION REQUESTED
I respectfully request approval of the new fee schedule for the Alliant Energy
Amphitheater.
