ACTION ITEM
2. Discuss and Consider Park Fees
After staff presented information pertaining to the history of light usage at Community Park,discussion on
updating the light fees began. Taking into consideration lack of change in fees in many years and

A graduated increase in the Athletic field light use fee from$4.00 per hour to:
$8 Beginning January 2001
$10 January 2002
$12 January 2003

1. A continued 50/50 split for field marking between the City and WSA.
2. $100 key deposit per key for those requesting light keys for Community and Founders Park.

but are not for the exclusive use of the WSA.
4. The Park and Recreation Board will review the fee structure yearly and make adjustments
accordingly.
