Resolution No. 7557 established admission fees for the municipal swirrming pools. In
July, 1978, the City Council, by minute action, authorized a minor adjustment to these
fees. Increased pool operating costs justify the proposed amendment to the present fee
schedule for the municipal swllnning pools.

Inflationary increases in the cost of chemicals, utilities and personnel justify the need
to amend the present fee schedule. Methods of increasing revenue without placing an undue
financial burden on swirrming participants were explored. Presently, seniors and handicapped
are admitted free. A 50-cent admission charge and a $15 season pass are being proposed for
this group as one method of revenue production. It was found that the sale of season passes
had decreased considerably since the pass period was changed by Resolution No. 7557 from a
calendar year to a fiscal year basis; hence, a recorrmendation is being made to return to
the calendar year time period (January through December), which coincides with the heavy use
swim season (March through November).
To encourage purchase of family passes, a flat fee of $30 is being recorrmended; this is a
discount over the purchase of two adult passes and allows the entire family access to the
facility at a reasonable cost. A $2 increase for adult and youth passes will raise the
cost from $18 to $20, and $13 to $15 respectively. It is felt that the modest adjustment
will not discourage the use of these passes, but will produce additional revenue.
FISCAL IMPACT
The revised fee schedule will produce approximately $4,000 in additional revenue.
