6. Club Comparison Research was conducted to compare fitness center pricing between the 9 comparable cities – Crystal, Fridley, Golden Valley, Maplewood, New Hope, Richfield, Roseville, Shoreview, and White Bear Lake. Out of these cities, however, only 2 have a comparable facility. Included Chaska, Eagan, Eden Prairie, and Inver Grove Heights to the comparison chart. Still, comparing pricing is not apples to apples. Each center’s membership includes something different.

14. 2016 Recommendations Staff recommends the Parks, Recreation and Environmental Commission consider raising the cost of New Brighton Community Center membership fees 8% on all membership options beginning January 1, 2016. This would roughly increase revenue by $12,000-$15,000. This increase would also make it possible for the families with a membership to take advantage of both adults receiving a health insurance benefit rather than just one.
