Title
Consider and take action on a resolution updating existing fees for recreational programs, membership fees, rental fees and non-resident fees (Director of Parks & Cultural Services)
Background:
The current Parks and Recreation Department fee structure was last approved in October 2025. These updates addressed recreational program fees, membership fees, and facility rental fees. As part of the 2024 approval process, non-resident rates were adjusted higher, often up to double those of residents to prioritize access for city taxpayers. Additionally, the registration process continues to allow residents to register two weeks prior to non-residents.
Staff has attached a report detailing revenue collected and enrollment numbers for residents and non-residents over the past three years. The Parks and Recreation Department regularly re-evaluates program fees and provides annual recommendations for updates to City Council.
This item proposes that City Council ratify all current Parks and Recreation fees, including the non-resident fee structure. The current fee schedule was approved by the Parks Board on September 14, 2026.
All revenue collected from programs and rental fees at Hometown Heroes Park is designated to be rolled back into the 4B Sales Tax Fund, in accordance with the five-year financing schedule approved by both the 4B Board and City Council.
