The club’s bill for operations and maintenance will increase from $5,000 to over $13,000 per year.
But their staff will no longer have to do the work, which will now be the city’s job.
The club came before council over the summer saying they couldn’t afford the increases without cutting into programming.
The club hasn’t responded yet to a request for comment.
