Council adopts Resolution 1879 updating parks fees, cemetery pricing and confirming CPI school-impact update
Summary
Enumclaw adopted Resolution 1879 on May 26 to amend the city's fee schedule, including a proposed two-day swim team option at the aquatic center and adjustments to cemetery mausoleum/alcove niche pricing; staff also recorded a 3.1% CPI-based school impact fee adjustment already implemented April 1.
The city council approved Resolution 1879, which updates several Parks Department fees and records an automatic, CPI-based adjustment to the city's school impact fee.
Parks & Recreation Director Alina Hibbs (speaker 10) described two fee proposals: a new two-day-a-week swim-team option intended to provide a lower-cost entry point for participants and a set of changes to cemetery pricing (infant lots, cremation garden lots, mausoleum alcove niches) intended to reflect operations and maintenance costs and the reduced inventory of unsold lots. Hibbs said the two-day swim option is intended to be a more affordable alternative to the existing three-day program.
Finance/staff (speaker 14) explained the fee resolution includes a 3.1% automatic adjustment to the school impact fee based on the Consumer Price Index for the Seattle–Tacoma–Bellevue area; staff said the change was implemented April 1 to align permit paperwork with the automatic CPI adjustment formula the council previously approved.
The council moved and approved Resolution 1879. Council also heard an emailed concern from the school district about adopting a calculated impact fee; staff said they will evaluate the district’s capital facilities plan when approved by the school board this summer and may return with recommendations.
