City council to replace parking fee with tax
YOUNGSTOWN - In an effort to make some Chevrolet Centre events less expensive, the city plans to eliminate $3 parking and facility fees tacked on to most tickets and replace it with a flat 9.5-percent admission tax.
City officials say they’ve received complaints from residents about the ticket prices for some events at the city-owned facility.
City council could adopt the new fee structure as early as its June 20 meeting. The policy would take effect Oct. 1, the beginning of the center’s next fiscal year, Bozanich said.
If the policy is adopted, a $15 ticket would include a $1.43 admission tax instead of the $3 fees. For a family of four, that would result in a $6.28 savings.
