While last year’s program cost approximately $30,000, a big chunk of that was earned back by $25 registration fees for the basketball league plus concessions. The city’s contribution made up all but $1,600 of the total costs.
With Tuesday’s vote, the gym and basketball components of the program will return starting in October and will run from this month through March 2012. The City of Muskegon will put up $18,500 to fund the program from its Leisure Services budget, which is in line with last year’s costs.
