Odi FROM City Manager DATE J U 1 - 11997 ctLE SUBJECT Discussion Item: Park Special and City Wide Park Program Event Fees REFERENCES ENCLOSURES Recommendation: It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission consider the following issues concerning City parks: costs -for City services for special events and programs held in parks; and the establishment of a "Park Advisory Board" to obtain community input for the "City -Wide Neighborhood Park Renovations Project" o,: the Capital Improvement Program. Background: The Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities has prepared the background information concerning these issues. It has come to the Administration's attention that there is some concern in the community over supposed "increases" in park fees for special events. A presentation will be made to the City Commission outlining the current costs for these activities and their justification. As will be shown, there has been no in in park use fees since 1967, however, personnel costs for labor forces assigned to work these events has increased over the years, and organizers are now being expected to pay for some services that were previously, and erroneously, provided at no charge. As a second issue, the administration recommends that a "Park Advisiory Board" be created, with the Mayor and each Commissioner nominating an individual to serve on said board. The board will serve at the will of the Commission for the expressed purpose of canvassing neighborhood residents and park users to obtain their input on the particular needs for renovations to ten (10) individual park properties included in the "City Wide Neighborhood Park Renovation Project" (Capital Improvement Project No. 331303). It is suggested that Walter Golby be appointed as City liaison to the Board and that their recommendations be presented to the Commission no later than the first meeting in October.
