Consider a resolution approving an amendment to the 2021-22 Keller Fee Schedule adding a Senior Activities Center Membership Fees; and establishing an effective date.
Action Requested:
Consider a resolution approving an amendment to the 2021-22 Keller Fee Schedule adding a Senior Activities Center Membership Fees; and establishing an effective date.
Background:
On January 29, 2022, the City had a ribbon cutting for the new Senior Activities Center which has been under construction since 2019 and included in a 2018 bond election. The new center is approximately 21,210 square feet and the prior Senior Activities Center was only 4,250 square feet. While planning the bond election and construction update discussions, Council and staff brought forward the idea of an membership fee as a way to help offset the increased operational costs such as utilities and janitorial services due to the increased square footage. At the January 18, 2022 meeting, Council agreed to implement a $10.00 per year annual membership fee for residents and a $20.00 per year annual membership fee for non-residents. Staff has started charging the fee and has already received 359 membership payments to date. The proposed resolution would implement the fee effective on January 31, 2022 to coincide with official opening of the facility. Scholarship opportunities are available to cover some members who are unable to pay the $10.00 or $20.00 fee.
Financial Impact:
The estimated revenue is $15,000-$20,000 per year and would be used to help offset the increased operational costs due to the increased facilty square footage.
Alternatives:
City Council has the following alternatives:
- Approve as submitted
- Approve with changes
- Denial
Council Action:
Staff recommends approval of the item as presented.
