The Department of Parks and Recreation (“the Department”) is considering amending its rules to add categories of documents that the Department will accept as proof that a person with a disability is eligible for a reduced Recreation Center Membership fee, making it easier for individuals who may not have one of the documents on the current list to obtain the membership discount.
