Council adopts new park and pool fees, including daily admission and season-pass adjustments
Summary
The council reviewed Park & Recreation recommendations and approved several fee changes for pool admissions, season passes and swimming lessons, including a $5 daily admission and adjusted season-pass tiers; motions were taken on individual items.
Park and recreation staff presented a set of recommended fee changes for the pool and related park services and the council took motions on individual items.
Highlights of the approved or discussed changes included raising general daily admission to $5 for ages 3 and up, a senior daily admission at $4 for ages 55 and up, an individual season pass around $60 (final tiers discussed and adjusted in debate), and swimming lessons set at $70 for an individual and $110 for a family of two (with additional-person pricing noted). Private-party booking fees and deposit rules were specified in the packet.
Council members debated specific price points for family passes and unanimously agreed that each fee item should be moved individually by motion. The council indicated a desire to balance pool affordability with reducing park-fund liabilities for operating the pool and concluded with motions to adopt the packet's fee structure with some agreed-upon adjustments to pass levels.
Staff will implement the new fee schedule and update reservation and payment systems; the council asked for periodic reporting on usage and revenue to assess whether the increases offset operating costs as intended.
