**Brand: City of Vernon**

The City of Vernon is committed to enhancing the quality of life for its residents through vibrant recreational facilities and parks. In response to growing service costs, the city council has approved a five percent increase in recreation and rental fees set to take effect in 2025. This increase is projected to generate an additional $116,000 in revenue, which will help maintain and improve public services. The updated fees will support various recreational offerings, including rentals for community events, drop-in activities, and park access. With a focus on community engagement and sustainability, Vernon’s parks and recreation departments aim to foster a welcoming environment for individuals and families to enjoy leisure activities. This financial adjustment reflects the city’s proactive approach to ensuring quality recreational experiences while balancing the community's needs and fiscal responsibilities. By investing in local amenities, Vernon continues to promote an active and healthy lifestyle for all residents.
