DESCRIPTION:
The Federal and Military Communities Committee, comprised of Vice Mayor Biddle and
Councilmember Hernandez, received a report from Staff on military discount options at
The Wave Waterpark. After discussion at its most recent meeting of December 19,
2017, the Committee recommended that the City establish a military discount for
entrance to The Wave at Emerald Glen Park. The non-resident/resident rate charged in
summer 2017 was $17/$13 for a full day and $15/$11 for a half day. The proposal is to
offer a $10 discounted rate for military personnel, effective in May 2018, which would
extend to veterans, reservists, active duty military personnel of all branches of the
military, and up to three of their guests.
