INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: September 15, 2022
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ron Burton, City Manager
From: George Davis, Director of Pleasure Island
RE: P.R. 22774—Changing the RV Park's nightly, weekly and monthly rates
Introduction:
The intent of this Agenda Item is to request the City Council's approval of P. R. No. 22774
authorizing the City Manager to change the Pleasure Island RV Park's nightly rate to $50.00,
weekly rate to $225.00 and the monthly rate for 30 amp connections to $600.00 and 50 amp
connections to $650.00.
Background:
An audit on Pleasure Island was performed in 2021 and the findings were prepared and
presented to the City Manager and staff. A Recreational Vehicles Rate Comparison was
performed comparing Pleasure Island's current rates to six other RV Parks in the area. Pleasure
Island's rates are significantly lower and have not been increased in several years. It is
necessary to increase the rates in order to be in line with most RV Parks in the area which will
also increase the department's revenue.
Budget Impact:
None
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve P.R.No. 22774 authorizing the City Manager
to change the Pleasure Island RV Park's nightly rate to $50.00, weekly rate to $225.00 and the
monthly rate for 30 amp connections to $600.00 and 50 amp connections to $650.00.
