<br />, e <br /> <br />REOUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Agenda Date Requested: December 12. 1994 <br /> <br />Requested By: Steohen L. Barr Department: Parks & Recreation <br />Report Resolution XXX Ordinance <br /> <br />Exhibits: 1. Ordinance No. <br />2. Recommendation Memorandum from Stephen Barr <br />3. Ordinance Establishing Fees for Sylvan Beach <br />Fishing Pier <br /> <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />The City of La Porte has negotiated an agreement with Linda Darnell <br />Witt to operate the pier concession at the Sylvan Beach Fishing Pier. <br />In conjunction with that agreement, staff has researched the piers in <br />the area and determined the admission fees charged at the various <br />sites. The admission rates proposed in this ordinance compare favorably <br />to those at other piers in the area. The proposed rates are: <br /> <br />Adul t s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 3 . 00 per day <br />Senior Citizens (60 & over) ....... .$1.50 per day <br />Youth (under 12) .................. .$1.50 per day <br />Certified Disabled Person.. ....... .$1.50 per day, after the <br />first twenty-five (25) persons. <br /> <br />Our proposal is unique in that, if approved, the first 25 disabled <br />persons each day will receive free entry to the pier. No one else in <br />the area is specifically offering free fishing for disabled persons. <br />Staff does not anticipate that there will generally be more than 25 <br />disabled persons per day, but felt it necessary to impose a limit to <br />prevent the potential for monopolization and to assure access by non- <br />disabled persons. Staff does not believe that this provision will <br />cause undue financial burden on the City, the County, or the <br />Concessionaire, and will provide additional recreational opportunities <br />and goodwill for the City. <br /> <br />Staff recommends the approval of the ordinance setting the admission <br />fees for the Sylvan Beach Fishing pier at Sylvan Beach Park. <br /> <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Approve the ordinance setting the admission fees for the Sylvan Beach <br />Fishing Pier. <br /> <br />Availability of Funds: <br />General Fund Water/Wastewater <br />Capital Improvement General Revenue Sharing <br />Other <br /> <br />Account Number: Funds Available: YES NO <br /> <br />Aooroved for Citv Council Aqenda <br /> <br /> <br />~~ T. ~ 1?--1 -qLf <br />Robert T.
