       1. the entry price is an all-inclusive price for casual use of spas, saunas, steam-rooms and other ancillary facilities as appropriate; and
       2. the new discount framework for infants, seniors, students, community service car holders, non-swimmers, families and high users is consistently applied at swimming pools.
    2. That the swimming pool pricing policy is linked to movements in the Consumer Price Index and the swimming pool entry prices are adjusted annually in $0.20 increments.
    3. That following the next renewal of individual facilities, swimming pool subsidies will be linked to movements in the Consumer Price Index and adjusted annually.
    4. That the Arts, Culture and Recreation Committee notes that some swimming pools may still require subsidy increases at the next renewal date to address impending cost increases over the next 12 to 24 months."
