Park City approves aquatic center hours, fees and vendor contracts; council adopts punch-pass, senior discount
Summary
Council approved hours, fees and program details for the new Park City Aquatic Center and authorized vendor agreements for phone/internet, security cameras, and sound equipment; staff estimated annual revenue of $75,000–$80,000 and council added a 10-punch pass and a 25% senior discount.
Park City’s council on April 14 approved operational hours, pricing, program details and associated vendor contracts for the city’s new aquatic center, which is scheduled to open around Memorial Day weekend.
Staff recommended a season from May 23 through Aug. 1, daily hours Monday–Saturday noon–6 p.m. and Sunday 1–6 p.m. Daily admission was set at $4 for residents and $5 for non-residents. Individual season passes were proposed at $120 for residents and $150 for non-residents; family season passes at $180 and $210 respectively. Swim lessons will run in two sessions (June 8–18 and July 6–16) with two class times per day. Pool rental was proposed at $250 for two hours for up to 50 people (staff also noted a $500 two-hour option for up to 100 people and the ability to extend in two-hour blocks).
Staff also presented three vendor quotes for communications, security and audio: Cox Communications (internet/phone with a monthly increase of $963.90), Convergent (four cameras and installation, $40,703.94), and Hop Sound (pool and bathhouse speakers and associated equipment, $18,479.99). Council approved the contracts and the monthly Cox service cost with an 8–0 vote.
During deliberations councilmembers added a 10-punch pass (10 entries) to the pricing structure; staff proposed a suggested price of approximately $2.50 for residents and $3.50 for non-residents for the 10-punch pass. Council also approved a 25% senior discount on daily admission. Staff noted the revenue projection from consultant Waters Edge of $75,000–$80,000 annually but indicated the item is not currently budgeted and revenues are estimates.
Council approved the hours, fees and associated contract awards in a single motion (Troy Hill moved; Linda West Hafer seconded), with the modifications described. The measures passed 8–0.
Next steps: staff will finalize vendor agreements and prepare operational signage and registration. The council asked staff to return with adjustments if staffing or demand supports extended hours later in the season.
