ity Council
hcrease in membership dues for the Port Angeles
ISSUE: Should Council amend Ordinance No. 2114, which establishes a
fee for Senior Center membership, in order to increase yearly dues
from $3.00 to $5.00?
BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS: A fee of $3.00 per year was established in 1981
for membership in the Port Angeles Senior Center. Membership in
the Center provides: McDonalds coupons, pen and pencil, hug card,
yearly calendar and significant discounts on programs and trips.
A nominal increase is necessary in an attempt to offset the cost
of providing services at the Center, and also to lessen the impact
caused by the 50% reduction in funding received from Clallam County.
At this time it is recommended that County residents continue to
be assessed the same fees as city residents. Staff is concerned
that an implementation of higher fees for county users may cause
significant declines in Center membership and in program attendance.
The Parks & Recreation Department is continually monitoring the
use of all park facilities by county residents to collect data
so that the Department may better understand the ratio of county
users to city users.
The Senior Board has approved the increase, and the membership
is in support of it also. It is Staff's feeling that the increase
need not be more than the proposed $2.00 at this time.
It should be pointed out that the Senior Center inadvertently began
collecting 1987 dues at the proposed $5.00 before realizing that
an amendment to the Ordinance establishing fees needed to go before
Council.
RECOMMENDATION: The Parks & Recreation Department recommends that the
City Council amend Ordinance No. 2114 in order to increase Senior
Center membership fees from $3.00 annually to $5.00 annually.
