AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Setting Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Fees
MEETING DATE: May 17, 2017
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution setting Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services
fees.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services (PRCS) requests Council
set two new fees and increase one. The two new requested fees are
for a seasonal swim pass and a special event parking fee at various
PRCS facilities. The fee change is an increase to the Saturday rental fee at Kirst Hall at Hutchins Street
Square. The Parks and Recreation Commission recommends approval of the new fees.
The seasonal swim pass would be $30 for adults and $20 for children 17 and under, and be good for
unlimited admission to the Lodi Lake beach and Blakely Park pool. The season begins Memorial Day
weekend and concludes Labor Day. Staff believes a seasonal pass would be convenient for our existing
customers, as well as encourage more use of the beach, which recently was refreshed with 500 tons of
new sand. Daily fees for the facilities would remain unchanged.
The special event parking fee would be $5 and applicable to various PRCS facilities, such as the Softball
Complex and Grape Bowl parking lots, Hutchins Street Square and the west side of Lodi Lake Park. The
PRCS Strategic Plan, adopted in early 2016, identified special event parking fees as a potential revenue
generator. The fee would not apply to regular PRCS programs or youth activities, or Lodi Unified School
District football games, but could apply to special events and tournaments in and near PRCS facilities.
Council also is asked to approve an increase in the Saturday rental fee for Kirst Hall at Hutchins Street
Square, from $3,150 to $3,250 for most users and $2,200 to $2,400 for nonprofits. Demand remains
strong for our premier indoor facility with most Saturdays booked a year in advance, which provides an
opportunity for PRCS to generate additional income to reinvest in our facilities. The rates for other days
of the week would remain unchanged.
FISCAL IMPACT: An estimated increase of approximately $10,000 annually.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
