Title
Discuss fee structure for the Summer Funshine Program; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Staff is recommending an increase to the Summer Funshine Program fees. The current fee structure is $55/week Financial Aid, $95/week Residents, and $150/week for Non-residents. Staff has reviewed the surrounding cities and other recreational camps fees and are currently well below the market rate. The recommendation is to bring the base fees closer to the market rate but increase the financial aid opportunities and eligibility for those residents who need it. The fee structure is as follows:
§ Financial Aid Tier 1 - increase $50/week to $60/week (48% of the Resident rate)
§ Financial Aid Tier 2 - establish $100/week (80% of the Resident rate, and similar to the current Resident rate)
§ Resident - increase $95/week to $125/week
§ Non-resident- increase $150/week $160/week
