Why is there a need for this action and provide summary/background?
The Parks and Recreation Department provides a wide range of programs, services, and facility rentals to the community, aimed at promoting health, wellness, and outdoor activities. In recent years, operational costs have increased due to inflation, rising labor costs, and higher demand for services. Currently, the fees charged for participation in programs and facility rentals do not fully cover the costs to sustain the operation of these services. To ensure the department can continue to offer high quality recreational opportunities wile maintaining the upkeep of its facilities, it is necessary to adjust the fee structure. Increasing the recreation fees will help bridge the gap between current revenues and operational costs.
