The Parks & Recreation staff collaborates annually with the Parks and Recreation Board Fee Committee during the budget process to provide recommendations for the upcoming fee schedule. This year, the committee’s objective was to enhance consistency in market pricing. To achieve this, a thorough review of all fees and benchmarking against similar organizations was conducted.
The fee schedule is brought before the City Council each year during the budget process for review and approval. This year’s budget workshop will take place on Tuesday, September 3, at 9 a.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall. This workshop allows for open discussion between the council and staff while preparing for the next fiscal year. The Fiscal Year 2025 budget and fee schedule will be adopted at the September 23 City Council Meeting. If approved, the new rates would take effect on January 1, 2025.
