Parkland approves new fees
The Parkland City Commission recently approved new fees for the coming fiscal year that starts Oct. 1.
Two years ago, the commission adopted an administrative and use fee schedule which is reviewed annually for any modifications. Based upon economic times, various charges will be increased in the parks and recreation and building departments as well as the library. Summer and year-round camp fees will increase as well as pavilion rentals. In addition, the non-resident sports card will increase by $13.
Existing library fees were included in the schedule and there is a new charge for lost Library cards. Also different from last year is the addition of a family DVD membership. For a fee of $10 per year, members can rent movies at the library.
Last year, residents needed to pay for notary services unless they were related to city documents. The City Commission agreed to delete this charge. For the full fee schedule, visit www.cityofparkland.org. Contact the city at 954 753-5040.
