FROM, Jenny McCollian, Parks Revenue Facilities Manager
SUBJECT, Discuss and recommend proposed fee increases for Pollock Community Water Park for 2020
As part of our annual departmental review of fees, staff is recommending an increase in fees for Pollock
Community Water Park: Pollock opened in 2006 as a fabulous waterpark with slides, zero depth entry area,
lazy river, sand play area, splash pad, restrooms/shower facilities, and concessions:
All of the fees have remained the same since the pool opened in 2006 other than an increase in season pass
fees in 2015: The proposed increase in fees would help us to maintain the pool at a high level and provide a
quality experience for all of our patrons: With rising prices in chemicals, services, product, and aging
facilities this would help to offset some of these costs: In addition, to attract enough lifeguard staff to
operate the facility, we have started to offer paid training for individuals to receive the required
certifications which has added to our operating costs:
We surveyed six (6) other area pools, reviewing information and comparing fees: Please see the attached
document: Following is my recommendation for the 2020 fees:

Current- $3 before 5pm, $2 after 5pm
Proposed- $4 before 5pm, $3 after 5pm
