At that September 2014 work session the Council directed staff to prioritize the recommended changes in categories of "can do" and "want to do" as part of their evaluation. Superintendent Diaz explained how staff worked with a Parks and Recreation Board to form a subcommittee to begin the evaluation process and then how the full Board reviewed those findings. The evaluation process took multiple meetings and in the end resulted in a list of recommendations and a sample of some fee options. The consultant recommendations that were discussed with Council were: • Hiring a full-time Front Desk Manager and adjust other full-time staff responsibilities accordingly. • Develop a 5 year prioritized capital improvement plan. • Drop credit card surcharge for online program registration, revamp 1-month membership fees with family option, fee increase of 5% every 2 years, and consider elimination of resident/non-resident fee. The Council asked various questions about the recommendations and the fee options presented to them. Mayor Hogue asked Council members for some direction for staff. Council consensus was that the recommendations presented overall were good and they appreciated the efforts of the Board and staff. Regarding fees specifically, Council provided staff with the following direction: • Eliminate the credit card charge levied on users for on-line registrations. • Fees should remain the same—no fee increase at this time. • Increase the proposed household four-pack to a household six-pack, i.e., a household membership can include up to six members of the same household. Staff will follow this direction and incorporate the necessary fee revisions into an agenda item for consideration by Council in the near future. • Discuss the proposed Great Texas Magic Festival of Wylie, TX proposed to take place October 26-30,2015 Dal Sanders, representing the Society of American Magicians, Dallas Chapter, presented a short report requesting City support for a proposed Great Texas Magic Festival of Wylie, TX to take place the week of October 26-30, 2015.
