What: the annual fee schedule for parks and recreation programs and rentals, which goes to the commission and then to the City Council.
Where it stands: On October 14 the Parks and Recreation Commission approved the proposed FY2028 fee schedule by voice vote, with most fees up about 5 to 10 percent and staff targeting 7 to 8 percent; the schedule goes next to the City Council.
Next: City Council approval; new fees would take effect May 1, 2027.
Staff proposed most fees up 5 to 10 percent (target 7 to 8 percent, after inflation); the schedule is normally updated every two years. Farmers market fees and the dog park drop-in rate (5 dollars) were left unchanged; water fitness admission and swimming lessons rise 1 dollar; park shelter rentals rise about 4.5 to 10 percent. Fees would start May 1 with the summer season.
Commission approved the fee schedule by voice vote, no one opposed.
