AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No, 7.F.
For Meeting of: August 4, 2025
Resolution authorizing a technology fee for online registration
transactions for Parks and Recreation Programs and Events (General
Fund Revenue)
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Director of Public Works
*Ken Wilkinson, Parks & Recreation Manager
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The current online registration system used for Parks & Recreation programs, events, facility
reservations, etc., is not able to meet the needs of the users and a new system is being implemented.
The new system, Dash by DaySmart, will provide an improved experience for our online customers but
will be more costly than our current system; costing $9,000 for the first year.. Implementing a $0.50
technology fee per transaction, will offset the increase in cost of Dash by DaySmart. In 2024, over
19,000 transactions occurred.
