Council approves motion to amend splash-park session rules; fee debate continues
Summary
Council moved to amend PL 47-26 to allow flexible single-session lengths (up to three hours) and to make children 2 and under free; members debated a proposed $5 session fee and requested plans for vouchers and sponsorships before final approval.
Councilors discussed session length, pricing and accessibility for the new splash park and related programming. A council member moved to amend PL 47-26 to permit three-hour sessions and to designate children 2 and under free of charge; the motion was forwarded to the next meeting for formal action.
One council member said the $5 admission fee should be paired with voucher and sponsorship options so low-income families would not be excluded; another member expressed concern and withheld support until those alternatives were outlined. "So at this time, I would like to make a motion to amend PL 47 dash 26... 2 or under, you're free," the proponent said.
Councilors asked staff to pursue corporate sponsorships and vouchers, and to return with final operational hours, staffing needs and a budget impact analysis before the ordinance is finalized.
