Background and Analysis:
In 2003, Council provided authority to the Parks, Arts and Recreation Director for the establishment of fees related to activities and reservations managed by the department. It was recently discovered that an ordinance related to Percival Landing was not updated to maintain consistency with this authority.
In general, fees are established through the budget process indirectly through the approved revenues in the operating budget.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):

Options:
Option 1 - Approve the ordinance as attached.
Option 2 - Direct staff to modify the ordinance as specified by Council.
Option 3 - Don’t approve the ordinance.
Modifications or non-approval of the ordinance as attached would set moorage fees apart from all other fees established by the department. Without this authority, staff will be required to amend the existing ordinance (4.20) whenever moorage fees are scheduled to change.
