Board questions pool season-pass cap after staff reports lower admissions but higher concessions
Summary
Park staff reported strong program attendance but flagged a reported 15% drop in admissions while concessions rose; board asked staff to check point-of-sale reporting and reconsider the 300-season-pass cap.
Janessa (staff member) presented the pool report for March–June, noting the department began selling season passes in March and has a capped season-pass enrollment of 300. The report showed heavy program attendance and strong water-aerobics participation, but board members flagged a revenue discrepancy: admissions were reportedly down about 15% year over year while concessions revenue increased roughly 15%.
Chair pressed staff for clarification on the numbers and the season-pass cap. Janessa said the point-of-sale system and weather were factors and that staff would review the admissions and concessions figures. "We cut it off at 300," Janessa said when asked about season passes; she added staff limited passes out of concern for daily capacity. The board requested a follow-up review of the fiscal reporting and asked staff to evaluate whether the season-pass cap should be adjusted.
Next steps: staff will audit the admissions/concessions reporting and consider alternative point-of-sale systems; findings to be reported to the board at a future meeting.
