Plano residents who use the senior recreation center, play city golf or book athletic fields would pay more starting Jan. 1, 2027, under a fee ordinance on the City Council's consent agenda for Monday, Oct. 26.
The ordinance does two things, according to a memo from the Budget and Performance Management department. It gathers fees now scattered across many ordinances, resolutions and schedules into one Master Fee Schedule that would be adopted every year. Most of those fees carry over at today's amounts.
It also raises charges in four departments, Fire Rescue, Planning, Parks and Recreation, and Environmental Health and Sustainability, under the cost recovery policy the council approved in March 2025. Council members discussed the parks and environmental health targets at an Aug. 13 budget work session.
Senior center and recreation
The Sam Johnson Recreation Center, which last raised prices in 2019, now recovers about 37% of its costs, the city's comparison shows. The proposal would lift that to 42%:
- Annual membership for residents 60 and older: $15 to $25
- A new tier for ages 50 to 59: $45 a year for residents, $90 for nonresidents
- Nonresident annual membership, 60 and older: $25 to $50
- Daily fee for residents 60 and older: $2 to $3
General recreation memberships would be simplified to resident and nonresident rates, dropping the separate tier for Plano ISD and people who work in Plano, the memo says.
Golf, fields and pools
Greens fees at Pecan Hollow, with a cart, would rise from $43 to $48 on weekdays and from $61 to $69 on weekends. Senior weekend rounds would go from $58 to $66. Higher nonresident rates, such as $73 for a weekend round, would start only after the online reservation system can tell residents from nonresidents.
