Summary
Recreation Director Michael Esterly reported pool receipts are projected at $114,800 for year-end (budgeted $92,000) and Bicentennial House rental revenues are expected to reach $16,000; council reviewed fee changes including removing a spectator fee and reducing a half-day playground fee.
Recreation Director Michael Esterly told council that pool receipts are projected to end 2024 at $114,800, substantially above the budgeted $92,000. He said concessions revenue exceeded expectations but supplies costs rose, and recommended modest price increases next year to address higher product costs while remaining competitive with neighboring pools.
Esterly also reported Bicentennial House rental revenues have exceeded the 2024 budget of $13,000 and are now anticipated to end the year at $16,000; renovations to the house's kitchen and bathrooms are planned over winter. He recommended removing a spectator fee that generated $850 and suggested incremental annual increases to the playground half-day registration fee (previously reduced from $400 to $250 per child this year).
