South Miami trims trainer permit fee, approves parks membership changes
Summary
After revisions, the Commission approved a parks and recreation fee schedule that creates a nonresident category and reduces the fitness trainer permit from a previously proposed higher amount to $100 monthly (from earlier proposed $300/month or $600/year), a change staff said reflected discussions with stakeholders.
The Commission considered item 6 to amend the parks and recreation schedule of fees and fines, including membership rates and fitness-trainer permit fees for the Gibson Belk Community Center. City staff said the fee structure was revised after outreach with trainers: the trainer category was changed from the previously discussed higher rates to a $100 monthly option and a nonresident category was added.
Commissioners asked about the history of the numbers; one commissioner noted an initial proposal had included a $300 monthly figure (and another recollection referenced $600), and thanked colleagues and staff for reaching a compromise. The parks director said trainers had been consulted and appeared in concurrence with the revised figure. The Commission adopted the fee amendments unanimously by roll call.
