Advisory Committee Information
The Health & Recreation Center Advisory Committee was created by City Council Ordinance. The Committee consists of seven (7) voting members representing various business principles. Members serve a term of (3) three years or until their successors are appointed the Mayor and confirmed by City Council. Their purpose is to:
-
To ensure the economic viability of the Health & Recreation Center and Outdoor Family Aquatic Center by providing direct input to the management team on such matters as marketing and public relations, health and fitness management, and business management and accounting.
-
Function as an interface between the Health & Recreation Center Management team and the community.
-
Establish and maintain a good working relationship with governmental entities, residents and civic organizations in our community which are, or which would like to be, active in the Health & Recreation Center.
-
Provide appropriate input to the City's Budget Plan for the Rec. Center & Pool Enterprise Fund including cost of operations, fees, and charges.
-
To advise the City Administration on the establishment of fees for the use of the Health and Recreation Center and the Outdoor Family Aquatic Center, which said fees shall be established by the City Administration with the goal to maximum usage of those facilities while recapturing 100% of the operating costs. The City Administration shall, not less often than annually and more often as the council shall direct, report to the Council the number of users of said facilities in the preceding year and the revenues generated from user fees as well as projected use of the facilities for the coming year and the schedule of fees for use thereof. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Council, by resolution, from changing the schedule of user fees.
Regular meetings of the Health & Recreation Center Advisory Committee are held the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at The CENTRE. Notices and tentative agenda of meetings are posted on the Public Notice Bulletin Board at City Hall and at the Health and Recreation Center. All meetings are open to the public and comments are welcome.
