Subject: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommendations regarding fees for the use of

Background Summary:
The City Commission at its regular meeting on August 21, 2007 adopted Resolution 2007-006, including a
schedule of fees and charges for the use of parks and recreation facilities, recreation programs, and swimming
pool with the condition that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board review and make recommendations
regarding the fee schedule. The Commission also requested that Home Owner Associations be exempt from
paying for a meeting room until such amendment could be incorporated into the resolution along with the changes
from the Parks and Recreation Board.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board at its meeting on September 17, 2007 discussed the fee schedule that
was approved by the City Commission on August 21, 2007 and referred to the Board for its review. The Park and
Recreation Advisory Board elected to make the following recommendations regarding the fees and charges:
. The Board recommended that all members of City appointed Boards and elected City officials be permitted
to use the Fitness Room at no cost.
. The Board recommended that the fee for seniors, 65 and older, be waived for the use of the Fitness Room.
. The Board recommended that the City consider establishing an annual boat docking/parking fee for the use
of the boat ramp at Starke lake for non-residents. Residents of the City would not be charged and non-
residents would be required to pay a fee for the permit, as determined by the City Commission.
· The Board recommended the City establish a fee to allow reserving of picnic seating areas at the Municipal
lakefront Park, with residents charged $10.00 per day and non-residents $20.00 per day.
. Recommended that the senior discount rate for the swimming pool be set at 65 years of age, rather than
the established 60 years of age.
