City staffers on Tuesday presented the commission a list of recommended admission fees to bump up to follow the city’s cost-recovery model. The proposal includes a $10 monthly membership fee to use the city recreation centers and a $3 drop-in fee, a $3 increase at Sunset Zoo and a $6 fee for pool admission.

Commissioner Karen McCulloh said the price increases are necessary to maintain quality facilities that are critical to the community.

“It’s important for the government to subsidize certain things, and I think the whole point of park and rec is to make our population healthier across the board and to keep kids busy,” McCulloh said.

City to consider funding park upgrades with naming sponsorships

Manhattan city commissioners on Tuesday will consider funding part of the CiCo Park improvement project with a proposed resolution allowing parks and recreation staff to authorize naming rights for new and existing facilities and their amenities.

The goal is to reduce the overall tax subsidy of the park upgrades by increasing private funding through donations and sponsorships. If passed, the resolution would allow for sponsorship opportunities ranging from $3,000 to $100,000.

Commissioners only will discuss the proposed resolution on Tuesday. The resolution will come to a vote at the commission’s Dec. 17 legislative meeting.
