City Manager Reports
9. Other Items on City Manager Reports
9.1 Amend the City of Clearwater Code of Ordinances, Appendix A, Article XI, Parks,
Beaches and Recreation, to establish a minimum rate for non-resident fees and
provide additional criteria to establish the class of city residents and pass
Ordinance 8246-11 on first reading.
On October 22, 2009, the City Council amended the Code of Ordinances, Appendix A -
Schedule of Fees, Rates and Charges, to address the formula for non-residents fees
and the definitions for the class of city residents and definition of families.
Since the establishment of the formula, which included a surcharge to be adjusted by
the City Manager or his designee, the rate for non-residents has decreased from $180
to $150 per person.
At the December 16, 2010 City Council meeting, staff was directed to maintain the
formula for non-residents the same but add a provision that the minimum fee for non-
residents go no lower than $180 per person, and when the formula produces a higher
cost, that new cost becomes the new minimum fee.
The second change relates to clarifying the definition of corporate memberships, which
allows corporations and government institutions within the incorporated boundaries of
the City that use city wellness programs for their employees to be considered as a
resident for purposes of the fee.
The third change adds a new paragraph, which would allow for persons represented by
a third-party contractual agreement (i.e., Healthways) to participate in recreation
programs in accordance with terms of the contract. This will permit a Silver Sneaker
member to participate at a recreation facility for approved Silver Sneaker classes and
amenities.
Concern was expressed that the capital recovery formula does not capture all potential
capital funding sources. Staff was directed to agenda discussion amending capital
recovery formula for next work session.
Councilmember George N. Cretekos moved to amend the City of Clearwater Code of
Ordinances, Appendix A, Article XI, Parks, Beaches and Recreation, to establish a
minimum rate for non-resident fees and provide additional criteria to establish the class
of city residents. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
