Legislative History: None •Financial Impact: The attached spreadsheet in this report is explained below. In reference to the spreadsheet the areas of focus are the yellow columns current rates, green columns suggested rates, peach columns the difference and the purple column % change. Other columns of interest are the clubs we used to compare rates and remain competitive. The attached spreadsheet reflects the current price on all annual memberships that will remain the same. The difference is adding a monthly membership which will reflect an average increase of 15% over the current annual membership. Fees were decided based on a comparison of similar size community centers and competing fitness centers maintaining a lower competitive rate for the value. The Parks Recreation and Environmental Commission unanimously approved the new membership options reflected on the spreadsheet in this report at the July 7, 2010 meeting to move forward. New monthly fees will cover the cost of including select group fitness classes, pool use, Automated Clearing House (ACH) for electronic funds transfer (EFT), credit card fees, staff wages to process the monthly membership and Vanco health insurance reimbursement processing fees. Memberships will also include an initial joining or administrative fee of $25. Memberships can be upgraded, downgraded, or changed at anytime for a change fee of $10.
