Recommendation:

That the recommended rate increases for admissions and rental
rates, in Schedules A, B, C, D, & E for 1988, be approved.

?

Background & Comments:

The Parks & Recreation department this year has reviewed the
various admissions and rentals and have recognized that there are
Some deficiencies. The year 1988 will be used to start
initiating some shifts in how we address our various admissions
and rentals.

The following points were outlined to the committee by the
Recreation Manager as to the rationale for the various increases,

a) Increases are not consistent in all categories. This is due
to the fact that adjustments have been made in individual
categories to address the discrepancy of fees, and charges
beginning to become evident with surrounding communities.

In some cases, increases will have to be Phased in over a
period of years.

Recognition has been given to the service levels available
at different facilities (i.e. although our service at Hyde
Creek Pool is very good, it is recognized that the Coquitlam
indoor pool provides recreational swimmers with more
diversity of opportunity. Therefore participants are
prepared to pay a little more for the additional
opportunities).
