The ratio of pass sales has been approximately 70%resident to 30%non-resident.

Parks and Recreation Board at the next meeting. He first addressed the WRC Rec Pass Fee Option
Comparison chart,which was narrowed down to two options:

• Fee amounts not to increase.
• Addition of the Auto Renew Pass option.
• Elimination of the One and Three Month Pass options.
• Change for Adult Pass to start at age 18.
• Removal of the requirement for children ages zero to six years to have a pass.
o The second option includes the same as above,except all Pass Fees will increase by 5%. Day
Pass rate to stay the same.
Superintendent Diaz reviewed the sub-committee's finalized Goals from the Wylie Recreation Center
Operations Budget Assessment. This was narrowed down to seven recommendations: 1)hire an additional
full-time employee,2)develop a five year prioritized capital improvement plan,3)drop the credit card
surcharge for online program registrations,4)revamp the one month membership fee to function as an auto
renew at a lower rate which will include a family option,5)consider an across the board fee increase
approximately 5% every two years and consider elimination of the resident/non-resident fee differential,
6)increase the three month pass fee and/or reduce its benefits and 7)include basic fitness classes with
center passes.
