The city parks commission will review the findings of the follow-up study when it meets Thursday night. The Santa Clarita City Council voted in March to implement a nonresident fee, noting the city was losing money by providing programs for those in county unincorporated territory. The move was a controversial one, with some county residents complaining money spent at city businesses helps Santa Clarita's tax base. Proponents countered that it is the county's obligation to serve its residents through its own parks programs. Enrollment in Santa Clarita's basketball program declined this year by 227 participants to 1,448, but registration from nonresidents was down just 4 percent, meaning the new system was not the major reason for the drop, according to the follow-up study. City parks officials attributed the drop to new options for young basketball players and the growth of other sports. The basketball program drew 147 youths from outside the city, 14 of whom dropped out because of the fee increase, according to a city report. During registration, parents of 20 of those nonresident children asked to speak to a parks department supervisor about the new fees. Many of the complaints came from residents who had lived within city limits for several years and recently moved to newly developed unincorporated areas such as Tesoro del Valle, Plum Canyon and Fair Oaks. The program also lost two coaches who were not residents and opted not to pay the higher fee. There are 156 coaches, 20 of whom live outside city limits, for the league, which begins play in January.
