Item/Subject: ORDER -Amending Bass Park Rate Schedule and Policy
Responsible Department: Bass Park
Commentary:
As part of the comprehensive Bass Park Rate policy adopted by Council Order 01-105 in
January, 2001, one section was included to address the myriad of requests the facility
receives for support of Non -Profit Organizations in the form of reduced or waived facility
rentals and another was included to provide a transition for Pre-Exisfing Non -Profit Rate
Reductions consumers.
Subsequent to the adoption of the Bass Park Rate Policy, a separate policy was adopted by
Council Order 01-300 to address the funding of Non -Profit Organizations. Therefore, Section
5 of the Bass Park Rate Policy can be deleted as the needs of Non -Profits have been
addressed by the separate policy.
Section 6 of the policy allowed for the transition of reduced rate consumers for a period of
one year. As the year has passed, staff felt it would be appropriate to remove that caveat at
thistime.
