To approve a revised Parks and Recreation Fee Schedule for the use of certain facilities and memberships; and providing an effective date.  Adopted Resolution No. 2025-6-22(R)

On February 18, 2025, the Parks and Recreation Planning Board reviewed the proposed user fees as stated herein and voted 6-0 to recommend the increase and adoption of the proposed fees.

On February 24, 2025, the Plano City Council approved the City of Plano’s new Cost Recovery Policy established to ensure the appropriate level of costs associated with the provision of facilities, programs and services are recouped.  The Policy provides department staff with a consistent set of guidelines in determining the price of programs and services.

The Recreation Division is proposing the following fee schedule for recreation programs, services and facility use.  The fees are consistent with the Cost Recovery Policy as well as the Budget and Research Department’s Cost Recovery Procedures.  Some Recreation Division fees were last increased in 2019, while others date back to 2012 and 2008.  The proposed fee increases will help the division meet established cost recovery targets.

The proposed fee changes are to the following:  After-Hour Pool Rental, Pool Party Packages, Facility Room Rental, Nature & Retreat Center Rental, High Point Tennis Courts Membership and Rental, Courtyard Theater and Cox Playhouse Rental, Recreation Memberships, Recreation Daily, and Recreation Programming, as provided in "Exhibit A".

This item proposes to revise the Recreation Division Fee Schedule to maintain alignment with financial policies of the City of Plano.  The estimated financial impact would equate to $699,537 in the General Fund and $314,445 in the Recreation Revolving Fund.  This revision would increase revenues collected in both funds in FY 2024-25 and in future years; however, exact amounts will be determined by participation and demand.

Approval of this item supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
