Title
Consider and take action on a resolution amending Resolution 2015-16 setting new fees and updating existing fees for recreational programs and rental of parks and facilities (Director of Parks & Cultural Services)
Background:
The current fee structure for recreation programs and rental fees was last approved in March of 2015 with the opening of Hometown Heroes Park Phase 2 swimming pool and fees associated with the new pool. The new fees required approval at that time in preparation for the April 2015 grand opening.
During the FY2016 budget process, additional programming opportunities and recreation staff has been approved by City Council to increase recreational opportunities to League City residents. Adjustments are also being made to some existing programs based on evaluation from the summer at the new pool, along with the market value based on what other facilities are charging. This item proposes that City Council ratify current fees and approve new fees for new programs in the recreation department for the FY2016 fiscal year.
Moving forward, the recreation department will re-evaluate all fees annually and make any recommended adjustments to Council at the start of each fiscal year. The proposed fee schedule was discussed and approved by Parks Board on September 3, 2015.
The revenue projections are in line with the FY2016 budget. Revenue collected from Hometown Heroes Park programs and rental fees is to be rolled back into the 4B Sales Tax Fund as outlined in the 4B five-year financing schedule approved by the 4B Board and City Council.
