An Ordinance related to the fee schedule; amending Ordinance 09-17-2279 to
reduce fitness center annual membership fees per patron and to add new fees
to the schedule.
At the June 7, 2016 City Commission meeting, the Mayor and Commission
reviewed the proposed revisions to the City's "Schedule of Fees and Fines."
Membership descriptions/types such as teens, adults, South Miami business
owners and residents were eliminated from the Fee Schedule. The annual
fitness membership fee was set at a flat rate of $200 per patron.
Attached is a proposal to adopt a new Fee Schedule for annual membership
fees per patron and add an option for dependent children under the age 18
years old, as illustrated in the table below:
Description Current Proposed Notes
Annual Membership Fee $200/yr. $150/yr.
Dependent children under 18 $0 $100/yr. For each child, up
to 2 max. in one
household
Under the proposed plan, the reduction of fees helps eliminate barriers to
exercise and encourages community residents to be physically active. Parents
or legal guardians that possess an active membership can add up to two (2)
dependent children under the age of 18 years old. Each dependent child shall
be charged $100 per year and parent(s)/Iegal guardian(s) must be able to
prove eligibility. The Parks and Recreation Department reserves the right to
request additional documentation to prove dependency.
