55 <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards noted that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board has suggested <br />that the City partner with Fridays After Five or Downtown businesses to construct the <br />bathrooms. <br /> <br /> Mr. Chris Cullinan, Budget Director, said that the cost to construct bathrooms <br />alone is projected to be $760,000. <br /> <br /> Ms. Rochelle Small-Toney, Assistant City Manager, noted that this cost includes <br />mechanical and HVAC which would be required. <br /> <br /> It was agreed that staff will come back to Council with written options for the <br />Downtown Recreation Center. <br /> <br />Miscellaneous <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said that recreation fees for non-City participants are proposed to <br />increased 150%. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch expressed concern about the large increase in gymnastics fees, and <br />said it may be better to increase City fees slightly and County fees less than <br />recommended. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati said he is more prone to apply the formula suggested by staff <br />through all the recreation programs. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano said that if the market does not bear the cost of the programs, then <br />the fees can be backed down. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch suggested making the fees subject to an analysis by Parks and <br />Recreation staff. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said that if the fees prove to be a problem then staffhas the <br />flexibility to change them. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati said that if there is interest by Council in pursing an ordinance which <br />would increase parking fines for other than overtime parking, then it will be placed on an <br />upcoming agenda. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said that staff recommend proposal two, which sets fines at the <br />average of other localities surveyed, and Councilors supported this. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said that staff recommend option A which will increase fees for <br />non-City golfers over two years, and Councilors agreed. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell pointed out that the budget has a $200,000 savings built in as a <br />result of shifting expenses to the State for things they should now be paying for at the <br />Jail. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell recommended providing $250,000 over a three-year period for the <br />Quality Community Council, with oversight provided by the City, and Council agreed. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Cormell said that staff is exploring the concept ora fee between $3 and $5 <br />for non-CRy users of the Skateboard Park that could be administered simply. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he would like to see the fee no more than $3, but Mr. O'Connell <br />said it may need to be higher. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox suggested that staff approach the County about funding the Skateboard <br />Park. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said he will provide a report back to Council on the Skateboard <br />Park. <br /> <br /> <br />
