Staff has not received many comments from the public concerning the two-tier
fee structure. People seem to have accepted the fact that they will pay higher
rental fees on the weekends. This year, a total of 92 picnics were booked, which
totaled $9,300 in revenue after Minnesota sales tax was deducted. The Lake
Ann Pavilion and the Lake Susan Shelter were once again the most popular
sites. In 2005, our city hosted a total of 7,000 people at our picnic sites.

Many customers were well-informed when they called to make a reservation
because they used our website to find out the fees and amenities offered at each
location. This prior knowledge helped to lower my time on the phone, which in
turn increased work productivity in other areas.
