Parks Maintenance Fee increase for Operations Center
Summary
The city raised the monthly parks fee by $5.20 per residence to fund the Parks Department's share of the new Operations Center — roughly $561,000 a year from the General Fund. It's the only fee increase expected for this project, since 80% of the cost comes from existing funds, and value engineering already cut $4.2 million. A low-income rate is available.
