CityCouncil | 2017-12-05 | 7 | Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the request for the portable toilets is at the request of the person renting the facility, to which the Recreation and Parks Director responded in the affirmative. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the Recreation and Parks Director stated that she has reviewed the invoices with her staff to ensure a team was not charged; if a team was charged incorrectly, they can contact her office; if the toilets inside are not working, the Recreation and Parks Department pays for the toilets. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the City is currently paying the 3% fee on the transactions that go through. The Recreation and Parks Director responded that as of December 4th the City is paying the transaction fees. Vice Mayor Vella inquired if the 3% is not passed tonight will the City be paying for the fees. Mayor Spencer inquired how much time would be required for the matter to go before the Recreation and Park Commission and back to Council. The Recreation and Parks Director responded the matter would go before the Recreation and Park Commission in January and back to Council in February. Mayor Spencer inquired what the plans are if the 3% fee does not pass. The Recreation and Parks Director responded the fees will be discussed with the Recreation and Parks Commission again to review if they believe fees are too high. Mayor Spencer stated that she would prefer the 3% fee increase go through the Recreation and Parks Commission first; she does not want to make the decision for the Recreation and Parks Commission. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated if the 3% is not passed onto the user, the City will have to look at cutting other programs to cover the costs. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved adoption of the resolution amending the Master Fee to add new and revise existing Recreation and Park fees. Mayor Spencer requested a friendly amendment to the motion to have the matter of the 3% fee increase go before the Recreation and Parks Commission first, then circle back to Council. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft did not accept the friendly amendment. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 7 December 5, 2017 | CityCouncil/2017-12-05.pdf |
