LCity,f Louisville Parks & Recreation Memorandum To: Recreation Advisory Board From: Nathan Mosley, Director of Parks, Recreation and Open Space Date: 9/23/19 Subject: 2020 Proposed Recreation Fees Purpose: The purpose of this agenda item is to update the City Council on the Recreation and Senior Center proposed fees for 2020. Background: Recreation and Senior Services staff, vetted three fee options a 3%, 5% and 7% increase to the City Finance Committee and the Recreation Advisory Board. Staff received feedback from both groups to do a blended increase that would result in an overall increase in revenue of 5%. Staff is proposing that all admission fees go up 5%(roundest to nearest .25 or .50) and that the discount for 20 visit passes for Non- Residents goes down from $1.50 off of daily admission rate to $1.00 off of daily admission. In addition to admission fees staff has looked at program fees and will apply a 5% increase to some programs effective January 2020. Examples of programs that will have an increase are swim lessons, youth sports and some youth activities. Please keep in mind that registration for January -April 2020 programs begins in December 2019. Those fees that fall under the mandatory 5% inflator will also receive an increase for 2020. Examples of those fees include park shelter rentals, facility rentals and ball field preparation fees. Attached is a spread sheet showing current fees and 2020 proposed fees. Next Steps:
