We have learned that <br />people aYe hesitant to rent this because of the up-fYont cost of the damage deposit when they can Yent Shelter #3 <br />and not pay a damage deposit. By removing this Yefundable fee, the cityr would also save money on cYedit caYd <br />refunds and anticipate an increase in rentals. <br />Financial Impact <br />An expected increase in Yental Yevenue. <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />The goal of this change is to be proactive and adjust ouY fee structure based on trends documented by staff to <br />incYease Yentals and revenue. <br />Attachments <br />PYoposed 2023 PaYks and RecYeation Rental Fees <br />2021 and 2022 FacilinT Reservation Statistics <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A �a�elco�ning colnlnunity 2arith Tevolutiona�y and spi�zted Tesourcefulness, excptional <br />se�vice, and co�n�nunity engagelnent that encou�ages and in��i�espzo��e�zty. <br />rowEnEo er <br />�/��U�'� <br />Up�iited.• August 2020 <br />
