Certainly, our knowledge of the City of Shorewood, its parks, and the evolution of the
Park Coordinator position itself will be useful in this role. As you know, one of our main
responsibilities will be to use the park priority policy, a formula created to ensure the fair

include on -site monitoring, articulating park policy, and collecting documentation, as well
as user fees, both of which are required to play. Our final goal is to provide continuity in
representation between you and the City in order to manage park use.
Enclosed in this Packet you will find key elements required to. utilize Shorewood's

MAXIMUM FACILITY USE EQUATION
The intent of this section is to allocate time for facilities described in the Category 1 on a uniform
and nondiscriminatory manner. Therefore, the City of Shorewood has compiled an equation to
determine the maximum time that is to be allocated to any organization for initial facility
assignments.
This equation is based upon the following assumptions:
♦ All turf areas are to be "rested" the equivalent of one day per week.
♦ Facility Time Periods are based upon 1.5 -hour time periods.
♦ Times may be further limited based upon the occurrence of limited parking or other facility •
demands.
♦ The Maximum Facility Use Equation will arrive at a decimal equivalent as to the maximum
time allotted per activity. The final maximum time slots shall be rounded down.
♦ The Maximum Facility Use Equation is evaluated "Per Activity." The Park Coordinator has the
authority to adjust scheduling based upon compatibility between two events occurring
simultaneously, or other facility limitations.
The maximum number of initial Facility Time Periods (MTPs) available to any team is based upon
the following equation.
Variables:
P = Number of Teams per organization
T = Total Teams Registered in that activity
Equation:
MTP = (Total Time Periods Available)
T
While using the Maximum Facility Use Equation as a starting point, the Park Coordinator has the •
authority to increase the MTP for any one organization, providing that a separate organization has
indicated that an equivalent amount of their allocated time is not going to be utilized.
