Background and Rationale
body
On December 17, 2024, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners approved the 2025 operating budget and amended the 2025 Fee Schedule for Parks and Recreation (Parks). Parks has proposed additional items that better align with the costs of providing these services and allow greater customization of event planning. The majority of proposed fee adjustments represent an increase of a couple dollars. The other proposed fee adjustments allow for greater customization of event programming to ensure appropriate charging for an expanded offering of cross-country ski event sizes.
