Action to Adopt Definitions for Aquatic Facility Use Categories; Priorities of Aquatics Facility Use; and a Resolution Amending the FY 2025/26 Municipal Fee Schedule

Summary

This resolution amends the FY 2025/26 Municipal Fee Schedule for the Parks and Recreation Department's pool rentals. The changes establish a tiered fee structure based on "Priority User Groups" for pool rentals, replacing the previous "Shared Facility" and "Exclusive Use" categories. The "Shared Facility" rate decreases from $89/hour to a new structure with rates ranging from No Fee (Priority User Group 1) to $40/hour (Priority User Groups 6 & 7). The "Exclusive Use" rate remains $289/hour. The resolution also notes that separate actions will define each Priority User Group, and the new fees are effective immediately upon adoption.

Citizen Impact

Residents who rent city pools for events or activities will see a significant change in pricing, with some groups potentially paying no fee while others face new hourly rates per lane, depending on their designated user group.
