5. Review and Approval of 2000 Park Price Structure

Aldinger made a correction on year 2001 proposed Youth Tennis non-resident, from $16.00 to $26.00.
Phillips wondered about the number of people enrolled in Sports Camp and wondered if the cost maybe is scaring people away. Can Room Tax funds be used to lower the cost?

Schrader stated that this is the second year of the program and the enrollment nearly doubled. The camp runs for three weeks, Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 3:30pm. That breaks down to about $1.25/hr. Schrader feels we should double again next year. In the past, Room Tax was only used to develop Capital Improvements.
Motion was made by Somers, seconded by Aldinger to approve the Proposed Fees for 2000 as submitted.

Ayes; all, Nays; none. Motion carried.
