Plymouth City Council Discusses Park Department Fee Schedule

The Plymouth City Council members reviewed the proposed park department fee ordinance when they met last week.

The park board approved the fee schedule two weeks ago. Park Superintendent Michael Hite noted that he meets with the executive board once a year to go over the fees. He said in 2011 there were increases, but lowered them in 2013 because a lot of the buildings were not rented because of the higher fees. He mentioned that the rates for 2018 are the same as 2017.

There are fees associated with shelters and picnic sites, use of the public pool, use of the volleyball court, horseshoe pits, and shuffleboard courts. Many other events are listed with fees associated with those events. Higher amounts are charged to those who are not residents of Plymouth.

The Plymouth City Council members unanimously approved the fee schedule as presented.
