City Council - Jun 15, 2026
Council rewired how park fees are set — moving them out of city code so the Parks Director proposes changes by resolution, which is faster. The new schedule covers community centers, Cato Park golf, tennis courts, Haddad Riverfront Park, Magic Island, and the portable stage.
