June Johnson ASP % increase is too high for our kids
Unknown Resident Senior Nutrition should be free
Dale Roberts Concerned with the many increases across the board, especially youth and senior programs Unknown Resident don’t believe senior luncheons should increase Ms. Betty
Concerned with youth programs increasing. Parents cant afford to have their kids in programs and so they will be on the streets
Colleen Fox Fees for luncheons to high. Seniors on fixed incomes can't afford too much. Maybe only increase to $5 Elaine Wheeler Maybe $6 is a good increase
Kathy Bulchlez Fee are too high agree with a $5 luncheon fee Bobbie Bender Agree with an small increase of $2 dollars Janet Lunch should be free to seniors
Alma Make it more clear that the dance and cheer class program is a 3 month fee vs. a monthly fee Janet Why such a drastic increase in fees across the board? Kimberly Families with Multiple kids will not be able to afford these programs. Add a sibling rate for camps too Patricia
City needs to ensure that council knows where these programs are offered, the direct community it impacts, high risk, low income areas that need these direct services.
Daisy Camp fees to high. Will impact all community centers and eventually they will be cancelled out.
William
youth rate increases are too high. We should look at increasing the non-resident rental rates instead.
Commercial business should pay more for use of facilities.
Sal
RAP fees are too expensive already. Especially now with not too many scholarship dollars available for them such as ARPA and CDBG. Program will be cancelled due to low registration.
Fatima
City Council should know where these programs were already cancelled due to the increase in previous fees.
Caleb Barerraz
Who is paying these fees. Most of the families in Riverside have multiple families in their households because it is too expensive and now we have an increase in fees.
Alma Need to see how many scholarships are given and what demographic to see real impact to community William Golf Course Fee round up to the dollar. Fairmount Golf Course is the most affordable around for residents Unknown Resident
Cost of Pool rentals is to expensive and with the additional insurance requirements is too much money to rent.
Unknown Resident CPR Safety classes should be affordable to youth Paul Rivera Why would programs offered in low income community like Villegas have an increase in fees Erin Snyder
Lower income communities such as this depend on their community center for services. Having an increase in fees impacts their ability to use the center and keep kids and families off the streets.
Erin Snyder
Senior Special Events is too much of an increase. Should consider looking at sponsorship opportunities to keep cost low or even zero.
Erin Snyder
Bourns Family Youth Innovation Center program fees are too expensive. My understanding was these programs should be accessible to the community so anyone can take them. I am sure Mr. Bourns would want it that way.
Erin Snyder Youth Sports rates seem reasonable, but we should consider a sibling fee and update volume.
Erin Snyder
Afterschool Program Fees too high of a fee. Should consider reducing as many families have more then one child in their home the need these services.
Andrew
Senior Nutrition should be free. Seniors are on fixed incomes and need these services on a daily. Doesn’t that have to do with food and security?
Andrew
Time for Tots fees are too high. These programs are necessary to keep our kids in education affordable programs. I think the cost will keep people from enrolling and eventually the program will seize to exist.
Erin Snyder Pay and Play fee should be more with the use of that space by them.
Erin Snyder
Rental Rates may increase for non-resident groups But believe the increase will impact youth and non- profits who typically use the centers/.
Andrew Fairmount Golf Course Fees can we increase the fees more there? Donna
Two sons in boxing program and really need the fees to remain affordable. Single parent and trying to keep them off the streets involved in something positive. There is already cost of equipment for these programs and adding in more could really affect us.
Erin Snyder
Pools need to be open 7 days a week Weekends especially when our kids don’t have nothing to do in the summer
Paul Rivera RPD should consider supporting more of our youth boxing programs Andrew
BFYIC Fees not really representing an opportunity to create opportunity to kids that normally would have these programs available.
