For your director and recreation team
Why RootParks for Mount Clemens Parks & Recreation
From Cairns Community Center to neighborhood recreation, Mount Clemens already brings people together. RootParks connects that familiar community identity with program discovery, household service and space requests in one place.
A better day, on both sides of the counter
Less back-and-forth. More community.
Connected for staff
Online registration is already part of Mount Clemens’ service. The RootParks difference is the connected follow-through: program context, household records, booking decisions and the next staff action.
Clearer for directors
Walk through real department tasks, agree the rollout and know the software and payment costs before committing. This is a shared platform, not another custom site to maintain alone.
Make it concrete
Take three short walkthroughs.
Explore the public experience, then review the corresponding staff record with normal admin access.
1. Find a program
Search the catalog, review the actual dates, eligibility and pricing, then follow the demonstration registration journey. The demo is not the department’s official registration service.
2. Explore a community space
Review a rental’s details and available request or booking options. Department policy and the specific space determine whether a request needs staff approval.
3. See the staff side
Authorized staff can sign in to review the program, registrations and booking decisions in their department workspace. Public visitors cannot access participant records or admin tools.
Predictable technology licensing
An annual software fee. Separate payment costs.
Pilot-cohort license offers, billed annually. Your proposal confirms support, implementation, taxes and additional costs.

A practical switch
Start small. Know what changes.
A guided pilot is a way to prove fit without pretending migration and staff adoption happen automatically.
Bring your existing work
Review the imported catalog and website content together. Confirm dates, prices, policies and the source of truth before publishing official registrations. Keep unclear source information out of unrestricted signups.
Walk through one complete workflow
Choose a program and a rental. Practice the resident steps and corresponding staff tasks, then agree training, ownership and a wider rollout. We do not promise a fixed migration time without reviewing the data.
Keep finance in the conversation
Residents pay the department price plus a disclosed payment fee. The lower-monthly-cost option uses Root’s standard 6/6: $6 on payments up to $150, or 6% above $150. Processing comes out of that fee, not on top again. The higher-license option removes Root’s transaction markup, not processing: at a standard domestic-card estimate of 2.9% + $0.30, a $100 program totals about $103.30 so the department receives $100. Integrated payments currently use Stripe Connect. Actual rates, Connect costs, taxes, refunds and fee eligibility are confirmed before activation. Another municipal processor is not a supported plug-in today.
An honest demonstration
This is an unofficial RootParks preview, not a department endorsement or live municipal service. It uses demonstration records and is not a live-payment checkout. Tenant setup and a tested operational pilot are distinct from the shared platform’s capabilities.
