Our membership fees have not been increased in over a decade and the Department has recently taken a comprehensive approach to assuring long term financial sustainability. During the past 12 years, significant value has been added to memberships through facility enhancements and expansions, technological advancements, conservation/sustainability efforts, expanded youth, adult and senior programming, state-of-the-art equipment and machinery updates, along with the addition of other modernized amenities and spaces. Additionally, operating and maintenance costs have steadily increased over time and while we strive to remain affordable, a rate adjustment is needed to remain financially sustainable.
