NEBRASKA CITY -The Nebraska City Parks Department is proposing a $10 increase for the family pass at the aquatic center, but no increase for membership rates at the Wildwood Golf Course.

Parks Director Nick Schmitz said golf course memberships are down slightly, but he hopes steady pricing and new marketing ideas will increase membership.

Schmitz: “We know with the increase of the minimum wage and the cost of business going up Tory has implemented ideas and plans for the upcoming season for both facilities to try and increase foot traffic and play at the golf course.”

Schmitz spoke with commissioners along with new Assistant Park and Rec Director Torie Ward.
