MEMORANDUM
CONSENT

Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
From:
Jamie Polley, Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources

Subject:
Louisville Township Recreation Fee Contribution
INTRODUCTION
City Council is asked to accept a proposal from Louisville Township to pay the full
$21.00 non-resident fee for residents of Louisville Township who utilize the recreation
programs offered through the City's Park and Recreation Department.
BACKGROUND
The non-resident fee for all recreation programs is $21.00 for individuals living outside of
the City limits of Shakopee. This fee is for recreation programs only and does not
pertain to memberships of the Shakopee Community Center or SandVenture Aquatic
Park. The Board of Supervisors for Jackson Township and Louisville Township has
voted in the past to assist their residents to pay the non-resident fee required for the City
of Shakopee recreation programs. Jackson Township currently pays the full $21.00 for
their residents who are under the age of 15. Individuals over the age of $15 pay the full
$21.00 at the time they register for a recreation program. Louisville Township currently
pays $11.00 of the non-resident fee for all of their residents regardless of age. The
Louisville residents pay the remaining $10.00 of the non-resident fee at the time they
register for a recreation program.
On April 3, 2008 the Louisville Township Board of Supervisors approved a motion to pay
the full $21.00 recreation program non-resident fee for all of their residents enrolling in
the City's recreation programs. Attached is a letter from the Louisville Township Clerk
confirming the Board of Supervisor's motion.
The proposed change does not affect the amount of non-resident fee received by the
City for recreation programs. The fee will now be paid in full by the township versus
being paid partially by the township and partially by the residents of the township. The
City logs the number of township residents enrolled in the City's recreation programs
and invoices the townships at the end of each calendar year.
From the City's standpoint, this will eliminate the additional step of collecting the
individual payment from the Louisville Township resident.
CITY VISION & GOALS
E. Financially Strong
REQUESTED ACTION
If City Council concurs, accept the proposal of the Louisville Township Board of
Supervisors for the Township to pay the full $21.00 non-resident recreation program fee
for all of its residents.
