Title

Discussion and possible direction to staff on the 2017 River Management Fee.

 

Body

BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:

At the February 13, 2017, City Council meeting staff provided a presentation and recommendation from the River Advisory Committee for the 2017 River Management Fees.  Three options are provided for City Council’s consideration:

1.                     Increase the River Management Fee from $2 to $3 during the 2017 river season.

2.                     Collect the River Management Fee on Fridays, in addition to Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays during the 2017 river season. 

3.                     Leave the River Management Fee at $2, collected on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays during the 2017 river season (same price and practice as 2016.)

 

Attached to this agenda memo is a copy of the presentation to facilitate the City Council’s discussion.  It has been revised from the previous version to correct the revenue generated for adding Fridays at $3.00 (pages 9 and 12).  Staff will briefly review these options at the City Council meeting.

 

Should the City Council wish to revise the fee or collection days, an ordinance change will be necessary and will be brought back to the City Council’s March 13, 2017 meeting for a first reading.
