PROPOSALS TO MODIFY EXISTING FEES (Continued) 3)Zoo Admissions (Half-day, after 2:00 PM, Monday-Friday, Except Holidays) AdultEach4.00 6.00 Child/Senior Each2.50 4.00 The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency is proposing to increase Zoo admission fees by $2.00. The only exceptions would be the Group Child/Senior rate ($1 increase) and the Half-Day Child/Senior rate ($1.50 increase). These groups are mainly school field trips. Limiting the Half-Day Child/Senior increase to $1.50 instead of $2.00 will speed transactions and eliminate the need for change at the ticket booth. Even with these Zoo fee increases, the Santa Ana Zoo admission fees are still among the lowest for comparable zoos across the nation. An estimated $301,812 will be generated from all of the Zoo admission fee increases. 4)Sports Youth Registration: Baseball, T-ball, basketball, flag football, kickball, softball, soccer and volleyball Existing Fee: New Fee: RegistrationPerChild25.00 30.00 The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency is proposing to increase the youth sports registration fee by $5 per registration. An additional $500 to $1,000 will be generated from this fee increase. The proposed increase will help offset increased program costs, including staff, trophies and t-shirts. Santa Ana’s Youth Sports registration fees will remain lower than surrounding cities such as Orange ($79.00), Tustin ($79.00), Garden Grove ($50.00) and Fountain Valley ($75.00).

If the meter is found to register more than two (2) percent above the actual volume of water consumed, the deposit is returned to the customer. 75
