AQUATIC PARK FEE PROPOSALS
PUBLIC SWIM ENTRANCE
I· Suggested Increase: $.50 for Residents & $1.00 for Non-Residents I
Last Increase: 1992 I Estimated Income Increase: $14,000
One of our key missions is providing a relaxed, yet safe, aquatic environment for
family leisure throughout the summer. We have tried to keep this activity at a
reasonable cost so that all families can afford to participate. However, our last
increase was in 1992. With the addition of shade structures, lounge chairs, the
Splash Zone and volleyball, we are providing far more services now. Our
operational expenses have outstripped our admission income. This price
increase will allow that activity to more easily break even on expenses.

Age 6 & under $.50 $1.00 $1.00 $2.00
Age 7 & older $1.50 $2.00 $2.00 $3.00

OPTION
Increase: $1.00 for Residents & $1.50 for Non-Residents
(Estimated Income Increase rises to $21,000)

Current Proposed Current Proposed
Age 6 & under $.50 $1.50 $1.00 $2.50
Age 7 & older $1.50 $2.50 $2.00 $3.50
This option gives us 50% higher revenue, but we will definitely hear from some of
our guests when the summer catalogue comes out (mid-April). Our passes for
city residents (which have undersold through the past years) should pick up in
sales with the increased daily gate admission.
AQUATIC PARK FEE PROPOSALS
LESSONS
I Last Increase: 2002 Suggested Increase: $5 per class ¡
I Estimated Income Increase: $3,500
Our classes are filling with ease and our guests seem extremely happy with our
services. At this point, we could increase our class charge to raise more revenue
for the facility. This will help offset overall price increases in facility operations.
See Attachment B- "Survey of area prices for Lessons"
RENTALS
, Last Increase: 1999 Suggested Increase: $5/hour I
I Estimated Income Increa"se: $1,600
We receive no complaints on our pricing from potential renters. After surveying
area activities, we are sure that we can raise more income from this revenue
source with a small increase ($.05 to $.10 per guest). This will help us keep up
with the growing costs of operations.
