Vancouver Parks and Recreation Fall Catalog by Jen Thomas

Parks & Recreation

Fall Into Fitness! vanparksrec.org

Vancouver Parks and Recreation has implemented a resident and non-resident fee approach for all classes and activities. If you live INSIDE the City limits, you will see fees drop in most cases. If you live OUTSIDE the City limits, you can expect to pay a little more. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice that each activity has two fees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first the City resident fee and then the non-resident fee. See page 38 for more details. Consider purchasing an annual resident card if you live outside the City limits. An annual resident card is available by paying a one-time $70 fee. This provides resident rates on all activities for everyone in your household for 12 months. This includes program registrations as well as passes.

Resident and Non-Resident Fee Approach

Q. How do I know if I am a City resident? A. A resident is defined as an individual or business that occupies a permanent residence within the Vancouver city limits. While you may have a Vancouver mailing address, you may not live within the Vancouver city limits. To see if an address is located within the city limits, you can visit our website and see a look-up map we have provided. www.cityofvancouver.us/feeupdates

Note, the 15% discount previously provided to Community Center pass holders is no longer being offered. With the implementation of resident and non-resident fees, we are no longer able to offer this discount. We have lowered almost all of our base fees to help off-set the impact. Non-residents can purchase an annual residency card to help offset this impact.

City of Vancouver residents pay a little less for passes and programs in acknowledgement of the financial support they provide through their taxes. Non-resident rates are approximately 15% higher than the rates for residents. Daily drop-in fees for recreation facilities are not subject to a resident/non-resident fee. This approach recognizes that City residents help underwrite a portion of the cost to provide these programs through their taxes paid to the City.

Frequently Asked Questions Q. Why pursue the resident/nonresident approach? A. Vancouver is committed to offering a wide range of affordable parks and recreation services for the entire community and appropriate user fees are an important part of maintaining core services and keeping our facilities open for use. Having a non-resident rate is a way to ensure individuals living outside of Vancouver contribute to the funding of services on an equal basis with residents who pay City taxes.

Q. How was the amount for the differential determined? A. A typical household contributes approximately $70 annually in general city taxes that go to support Recreation services. This equates to an average fee differential of 15%. Q. Do I need to do anything new in order to register? A. If you have an existing account with us, you are ready to register â&#x20AC;&#x201C; online, in person or via phone. We have reviewed the address we have on file for each account to confirm the correct residency status for each. If you need to set up a new account, see details below in the registration section. Contact us if you have any questions.

vanparksrec.org 38

Further questions? Contact us. See information above.

Consider purchasing an annual resident card if you live outside the City limits. An annual resident card is available by paying a one-time $70 fee. This provides resident rates on all activities for everyone in your household for 12 months. This includes program registrations as well as passes.

This department complies with Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fair Play and Community Sports Act, which prohibits discrimination against any person in a community athletics program on the basis of sex.
