Title
A Resolution Approving The Increase Of Annual Membership Fee For The Senior Center
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
Pam Harris, Sr. Center Director. I would like to propose an increase to the annual membership fees for the Senior Center from $11.00 to $15.00. There has not been an increase in fees since I began as Director in 2005. The fee is used to offset the cost of travel, social gatherings and other activities, rather than charging members a per use/item fee for things like gas for trips, coffee, snacks, etc. The fee also offsets members cost for special programs such as yoga, exercise and dances.
