Board forwards proposed golf and athletics fee increases to City Commission
Summary
Parks staff proposed modest fee increases (roughly $2 on green fees, small increases for team and field rental fees) to move closer to cost recovery; the board voted to forward the fee schedule package to City Commission for approval.
Parks staff outlined proposed fee increases intended to improve cost recovery across golf operations and athletics. For golf, staff proposed a typical $2 green fee increase (for example, Ross Rogers weekend fee from $35 to $37 and weekday fees from $32 to $34) and adjustments to twilight and cart fees. Staff said these steps are part of a multi-year approach to reach cost recovery.
For athletics, staff proposed increasing softball team fees by $50 per season, small increases to volleyball team fees (for example, $25 per team for indoor permits), and raising field rental rates for youth and adult games by $5. James Stowe said maintenance and official costs have risen and that user participation and rentals have increased.
A board member moved to forward the fee schedule to City Commission as presented. The board voted to send the proposal to City Commission; the motion passed by voice vote "Aye" as recorded in the transcript. Staff will present the package to City Commission for final approval and any council-level adjustments.
