Commission approves modest increases for 2026 summer rec programs
Summary
Commissioners approved the 2026 summer program fee schedule after staff described small across-the-board increases to offset rising costs; the motion passed unanimously.
The Germantown Park and Recreation Commission voted to approve the departments 2026 summer-fee schedule following a presentation by recreation staff on modest increases across programs.
Why it matters: Small fee increases were proposed to help the department keep up with higher supply and instructor costs while maintaining program availability for residents.
What happened: Recreation staff said the proposal mainly included $1–$5 increases for many programs, adjustments to camp lengths and revised fees for field trips and specialized instruction. Staff said the changes were incremental: "Not a lot of huge changes, but small increases across the board," the presenter said. Commissioner (speaker 6) moved to approve the 2026 summer fee schedule; the motion was seconded and approved with no opposition.
Impact and next steps: Staff will publish the summer brochure (scheduled to post online the week of March 16) and open registration for residents on April 13; nonresident registration follows on April 15.
Ending: The commission approved the fee schedule and no further board action was required at the meeting.
