West Miami advances new parks and recreation fee schedule on first reading

The City Commission of West Miami advanced on first reading an ordinance Oct. 1 to adopt a revised parks and recreation fee schedule that would set membership charges, rental rates and other park fees. The item passed 4-0 and is scheduled for a second reading and public hearing on Nov. 5 at 6 p.m.

Why it matters: Adopting a fee schedule alters the cost for residents and organizations using city facilities and can affect park revenue and program participation.

Details: The ordinance was presented as a first reading under the parks and recreation department item. The clerk recorded a 4-0 vote in favor; no detailed fee amounts were discussed on the record at this meeting. The commission set the second reading and public hearing date for Nov. 5.

Next steps: Staff will present the ordinance for the second reading and public hearing on Nov. 5, at which point commissioners may hear public comment and consider amendments.
