The San Marcos Parks & Recreation Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend city council support changes to the Lions Club Tube Rental and vending lease.
In advance of the upcoming lease renewal in April, the parks board saw several reasons for a renegotiation. The board members cited recent city budget constraints and efforts to increase parks budget revenue by increasing fees for facility rental for both nonprofit and private uses as well as increasing activity center membership and program fees. They note that fee increase to facility rentals was not extended to facilities that were under long-term lease, such as the Lions Club Tube Rental facility.
They also cite the current monthly lease of $900 per month as substantially less than the market value of a commercial riverfront rental property.
