Council approves fee schedule changes including Parks program option and cemetery pricing; staff notes CPI update to school impact fee process
Summary
Resolution 1879, amending the city's fee schedule, passed after presentations from Parks and Cemetery staff. Council approved adding a lower‑frequency swim-team option for affordability, changes to cemetery pricing due to lot availability, and noted a staff‑implemented CPI adjustment to the school impact fee formula.
The Enumclaw City Council on May 26 approved Resolution 1879, which updates the city's fee schedule across several departments.
Alina Hibbs, Parks and Recreation Director, described two fee proposals affecting the Aquatic Center and other park services. She said staff recommends adding a lower‑frequency swim‑team option intended to give families a more affordable choice; the packet includes price details. Council discussed the proposed two‑day option and implementation logistics.
Parks staff and a cemetery representative explained changes to cemetery pricing driven by reduced lot availability and rising operations and maintenance costs; the resolution adjusts prices for infant lots, cremation garden lots, and specific mausoleum alcove niches.
City staff also summarized a mechanically applied 3.1% school impact fee adjustment tied to the Consumer Price Index for the Seattle‑Tacoma‑Bellevue area; staff said that change was implemented on April 1 according to the CPI formula adopted by council and that the city will evaluate the school district’s capital facilities plan when finalized this summer.
Council voted to approve Resolution 1879 by voice vote.
