Rec & Golf Center fees drop for nonresidents - al.com

Center fees drop for nonresidents - al.com: "ORANGE BEACH — Membership fees for residents won't change at the Recreation Center — at least not in 2009 — but the City Council plans to approve a new rate plan for nonresidents and visitors at its Tuesday meeting.

The new rates, which will generally lower membership fees for all but Orange Beach residents, are geared toward luring more gym users and therefore more revenue, said Mayor Tony Kennon.

'The main purpose essentially is to increase membership, increase revenue from other sources that don't put quite the demand on residents' fees,' Kennon said during a council work session last week."
