• <br />April 2, 1991 <br />Robert Herrera, City Manager <br />Stan Sherwood, Director or Parks and Recreation <br />Proposal <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />SUBJECT: <br />Change hours of operation, fees, rental availability, and proof of <br />residency requirements for general admission at the wave pool <br />beginning with the 1991 summer season. Statistics/charts attached <br />show strong justification for the following revisions to the City <br />ordinance concerning wave pool operations. <br />1> Hours of operation: <br />Monday thru Thursday <br />Friday thru Sunday <br />• <br />11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. <br />11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. <br />(1990 attendance summary chart-statistics show little <br />activity after 6:00 p.m., especially Friday thru Sunday.) <br />2) Delete proof of residency requirements for general <br />admission. Statistics (resident/non-resident usage <br />chart) show non-residents make up only 15% of the total <br />attendance in all categories. Problems/delays associated <br />with checking proof of residency to determine admission <br />price is inconvenient for guests, costly, time-consuming, <br />and not feasible, considering 15% non-resident usage. <br />3) Fees: <br />Propose a single general admission fee of $3.00. This <br />is an increase of .50 over the 1990 season. Patron <br />convenience would be much improved. Cost/time associated <br />with tube rental is not justifiable. Tubes/floats will <br />be provided thru indirect/admission charge. <br />4) Rentals: <br />Emphasis for wave pool rental will be Friday thru Sunday <br />after 6:00 p.m. Pool will still be available at other <br />times for rental however, 1990 figures show only one <br />rental during the week (Thursday), during the entire <br />summer. <br />5) Propose Twilight Saver Fare: <br />Reduced admission ($1.50), after 4:00 p.m. Also, during <br />the week, special events such as "Dive-In Movies", <br />"Splash Dances", etc. should help improve attendance <br />during later hours. <br />
