Alternatives:

The Parks & Recreation Committee may choose to adopt, amend or

The proposed schedule of adnission rates and rental charges was
Prepared after having researched Similar schedules in Port ‘loody,
Coquitlam, ‘aple Ridge, Burnaby and New Westminster (Schedule C,D,

Discussion/Justification:

the Parks & Recreation Committee should be aware of the following
points of consideration when Teviewing this Proposed schedule:

Although several areas are lagging well behind the market
place, increases will be introduced gradually to try and
mininize the impact on the users, (In most cases this increase
has been kept to 10% or less).

The proposed schedule of admissions and rental charges is
consistent with our efforts to reduce our reliance on the tax
base,

The proposed schedule recognizes ciffering sezvice levels
available at different comparable facilities (i.e. although our
Service at Hyde Creek Pool is very good, it is recognized that
Swimmers with more for the additional opportunities).

In the past indoor swimming and Skating admissions have always
been the same. This year it is being proposed that some
swinnins admissions be increased. However, it is not desirable
to increase public Skating admission rates. As a result this
changes our ticketing system. Therefore it is recommended that
the proposed indoor Swimming admission be nodified effective
