CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-172, APPROVING A RECREATION FEE WAIVER REQUEST FOR SAN CLEMENTE HIGH SCHOOL FALL AQUATICS AND HOMECOMING PARADE PERMIT FEES
body
Summary:
Staff recommends approval of full fee waivers for two San Clemente High School permits: fall swim team use of the San Clemente Aquatics Center under Permit No. 16207 and the annual Homecoming Parade under Permit No. 16303. The aquatic rental request totals $6,095. The parade request totals $9,560, consisting of $5,539 in permitted event fees and an additional estimated $4,021 in Maintenance and Recreation staff labor and overtime. The combined financial impact is approximately $15,655. These requests support school athletics and a community tradition and are presented to the City Council because the Cost Recovery for Beaches, Parks and Recreation Services Policy No. 201-15 requires Council approval of full fee waivers.
