MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Although they tested the tepid water before jumping in head-first, the Mountlake Terrace City Council approved an ordinance Monday evening that will slightly raise some recreation fees, such as swimming pool use.
Costs are reviewed annually for adjustments to the five-year schedule.
Don Sarcletti, recreation and parks director, said the cost adjustments this year are largely due to the newly renovated swimming pool and the restructuring of programs.
“The costs are based on market comparisons and the cost of providing services to participants,” Sarcletti said.
The price adjustments reflect new programs as well as expanded ones, such as the before and after school programs at Evergreen and Madrona schools.
Increases to expect in the coming year include a 25 cent increase for swimming pool use, which will be raised to $2 per use, as well as a higher price to rent the pool, which has been increased by $15 to $185.
