to members of the public. The Recreation and Parks commission
approved the fee increase recommendations made by DMG in December
of 1987. On February 2, 1988, the city council approved most of
the recommended fee increases, although decided against
increasing swimming fees charged for individual youth and teen
public swimming sessions and swim teams. Attachment I outlines
those fee increases approved by Council.
A resolution formally establishing the new fee levels must now be
adopted by the city Council prior to implementation of the
approved fee structure.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT
As a result of the increases in Recreation and Parks fees
approved by the City Council, approximately $12,750 in additional
General Fund revenue will be generated in the final quarter of FY
87/88 and $51[000 in additional General Fund revenue will be
generated on an annual basis. Adjustments to FY 87/88 revenue
accounts to reflect these fee increases were made as a part of
the mid-year budget document approved by the city Council on
February 16, 1988.
RECOMMENDATION
city staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution establishing the new Recreation and Parks fees
approved by the city council on February 2[ 1988.
