A senior citizen, who is a member of our water exercise program, was upset that we charge only $54.00 more for a non-resident annual pass. She had just received her tax bill and is upset that she has paid (she stated) over $1600 a half in taxes and is being charged only slightly less than non-residents. As a resident she pays $96.00, and a non- resident only pays $150.00. Mr. Morgan did some research and spoke with her. (Mr. Morgan presented a breakdown of Property Taxes obtained from Carrie Copfer in Finance). Of the taxes on her $170,000 home in Cinnamon Woods, the Recreation Center only actually gets $32.69. However, Mr. Morgan feels that our fees are reasonable and a good value. He has sent a nice letter to her in response, along with a copy of the tax breakdown. The rec. center will be increasing the non-resident pool pass within the next year by 25% as a result, however. She also objected to the $1.00 annual resident validation. Mr. Morgan hopes that she will become comfortable with this fee, as it is really a necessity and not unreasonable. Duane Limpert stated that quite frankly, she should be pleased that we require this annual validation, so to prevent those non-residents she is concerned about from being able to claim residency after moving away. All were in agreement. Page 2
