And the launching area is a part of Rec and Parks The ramps are special purpose facilties and users should be charged user fees. Golfers pay to use the golf course, swimmers pay to use the swimmiing pools, etc. Boat ramp users should pay something, even if it is a nominal annual fee, to use the ramps. If you are a boater then you should realize the value of a slip as compared to trailering and launching every time you want to use your boat. You most own a larger boat. Many of the users of the ramps use jet skis and other small boats. I doubt they are interested in renting slips. Additionally, people from outside OP use the ramps, including marine service vendors making a profit by doing service work within OP. My point in all this is that there seems to be a mood in OP that major amenities should "break even" with repect to operating costs. Therefore boat ramp users should pay something towards their use. What about pay toilets in all OP buildings? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The Recreation and Parks department does generate revenues which offset operating and maintenance costs of the parks And the launching area is a part of Rec and Parks. If you are a boater then you should realize the value of a slip as compared to trailering and launching every time you want to use your boat. |
