Council adopts fee adjustments for summer camps and creates streamlined family fitness membership
Summary
By voice vote the council adopted Ordinance/Resolution 26‑06 to increase weekly summer camp fees by $10 and before/after care rates by $5 to offset rising costs, and to consolidate redundant membership categories into a clearer family/adult‑child classification with a family membership of $44/month (residents) and $49/month (nonresidents).
The mayor and council adopted Ordinance/Resolution 26‑06 to update the city’s general fee schedule for 2026, adjusting summer camp tuition and creating a streamlined family fitness membership classification.
Staff told the council that, to address rising material and supply costs, weekly camp tuition will increase by $10 per camper and weekly before/after care rates will increase by $5 per session. Staff also described consolidation of several overlapping membership classifications into a single category for an adult plus one child, and said the family membership (up to two adults and four youth) remains unchanged.
Specific fees explained at the meeting included new counselor‑in‑training fees of $109 for city residents and $129 for nonresidents, and a new membership category that results in $44 per month for a city resident and $49 per month for a nonresident for the adult‑plus‑one classification. Council members discussed incorporation of fee reviews into the regular budget process; staff said fees are reviewed by the finance committee and folded into budget proposals.
A motion to adopt the ordinance was moved and seconded; the council discussed clarifying details and adopted the ordinance by voice vote.
