Manhattan City Commission looking at giving city staff power to raise Parks & Rec fees

The Manhattan City Commission is looking into giving city administrators the power to set Parks & Recreation fees without seeking commission approval first. Deputy City Manager Jason Hilgers said city staff already have the ability to do this with new Parks & Rec programs, but the laws are inconsistent. Hilgers said older programs, like youth baseball and basketball, are wrapped up in another city ordinance. “We’ll have administration evaluate these programs,” Hilgers said. “Look at the cost to bring the program to bear and then correspondently charge the participants basically a cost recovery rate to try to pay for that program.”
