CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
September 8, 2010
MEMO TO:
City Council
MEMO FROM:
Eric J. Levitt, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Action on a Request from New Life Assembly of God to
Waive Park Rental Fees
______________________________________________________
Request
The Leisure Services Division has received a request from the New Life
Assembly of God to waive the park rental fees which are $130 for the event.
City Manager Recommendation
The City Manager believes that this request is consistent with other fee waiver
requests based on the facts that it is for a free movie in the park put on for the
public.
I have discussed my concern with Michael Jackson about the possible precedent
and he is receptive to the idea of the City Council dedicating the funds for
scholarships for children to attend other leisure service activity rather than
waiving the fee.
The City Manager anticipates bringing a policy change for consideration on
waiver of fees prior to 2011.
Possible Motion
I move the Council approve the request for the financial gain request to waive the
park rental fee.
Alternative Motion if pulled
I move the Council apply the fee for scholarships for leisure services programs.
Background
The attached letter provides the background.
