• Annual pass: $10 increase to $50.

Two public meetings have been scheduled to gather information about the proposal. The first is Monday, April 10, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Springdale Town Hall, 134 Lion Blvd.

The second meeting is Thursday, April 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Grand Staircase Visitor Center in Kanab, 745 E. Highway 85.
