Parks board backs sending aquatic-center fee discount for military and school employees to city council
Summary
The Astoria Parks Board voted to support recommending a modest aquatic-center fee discount for active/former military and school-district employees; staff will forward the board's support to city council for final approval.
Staff proposed a modest fee and membership discount for active and former military members and for school-district personnel, priced closer to senior and youth rates rather than standard adult prices. Staff framed the idea as both an acknowledgment of service and a small incentive to increase facility use.
A parks board member moved to support forwarding the proposal to city council; the motion was seconded, members voted by voice and the board approved the recommendation. “So it passes. You can go to city council for that,” a board member said after the voice vote (SEG 1116–1117). Staff said final timing for council consideration is not yet known.
