However, the single admission admis-sion cost will remain at $1.25 per person. HANDBALL fees will be increased from $1.25 to $1.50 for one-hour use of the court. City Manager Grant Petersen, Peter-sen, in making the proposal to (he council, explained that although recreation fees were raised by 20 percent last year, the overall income was increased only about five percent because of the family pass rates being such a bar gain.

He said an adjustment will also be made in the amount the city collects for professionals teaching classes at the centers.
