It seems like the city wants this to be a perk for its citizens. It doesn't really matter how much in taxes actually go to parks and rec, but it looks like the budget for P&R is about 3% of total for the city.Mr.Bond said:powerbelly said:Taxes are factored into rent for people who lease.Quote:
The taxes argument does irritate me a bit as it really only applies to home owners
Fair enough. If one had to guess what do you think the average tax payers pays per year to parks and rec? I'm genuinely curious. Because if it's as little as I think it is, then the argument is bogus. Create a membership program like many course do all over the country. Many in AZ do this as well
They want city citizens to be able to afford the fee and be able to get tee times. At least that is how it looks to me.
