Ameranick reviews modest increases to 2026 parks, recreation and harbor fees; staff to confirm resident/nonresident rules
Summary
Staff said harbor fees were last raised in 2023 and recreation fees typically rise about 4–5% for residents; trustees asked how organizations with mixed rosters (including Larchmont leagues) are charged and asked staff to confirm fee and field-rental practices.
The Village of Ameranick trustees previewed proposed adjustments to parks, recreation and harbor fees for the 2026 season and asked staff to confirm how fees distinguish residents from nonresidents and organizations that rent village fields.
A presenter summarized that harbor fees were last increased in 2023 and that recreation fees are typically adjusted modestly each year for residents, often around 4–5 percent. Trustees raised questions about how fees apply to organized sports groups and multi-village organizations that use village fields but include nonresident participants.
One trustee noted regional organizations—citing Larchmont leagues as an example—often charge families rather than individual players and asked whether the village charges organizations a flat seasonal rental fee or fees per child. The presenter said staff will confirm the standard practice with Jason and report back to trustees.
The board also briefly confirmed that the existing Lanza Field bandstand is the facility in question and that the parade and field logistics will be addressed as part of upcoming agenda items.
What happens next: Staff will confirm resident/nonresident fee practices and the village's fee structure for organizations that rent fields and report the findings at a future meeting.
