THE CITY OF ,..,..w,,,, e 4F ~R ~w 1 111 1 11 'wlw L~ ~S~NTON ~;t ~ounC;, y Staff Report October 7, 1997 Parks and Community Services SUBJECT: Approval of Fees and Charges for Recreational Services and Facilities PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Park and Recreation Commission, at their meeting of September 11, 1997, adopted a motion recommending approval of the proposed fees and charges for recreational services and facilities. STAFF RECOMII~NDATION: Staff concurs with the recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission. SUMMARY: It has been two years since the fees and charges for recreational services and facilities have been reviewed and adjusted. The Department has implemented new classes and programs with fees requiring Council approval and has increased certain fees to the maximum allowed (20%) without bringing the fee schedule to the Council for approval. Many new classes have been added; adjustment in class/program fees are proposed in several areas, in most cases a reflection of increased staff costs. Increases are proposed for facility rental, primarily for the cost of additional hours or time extended beyond 1:00 a.m. Anew business category has been introduced to address appropriate business uses. The fees and charges of Department of Parks and Community Services programs and facilities are based on the adopted Council policy of recovering the full direct program's cost of fee classes, special clinics, camps and private facility use, and recovering 0%-75% of the direct program cost of broad-based children's programs, teen activities, disabled programs, senior programs, facility use associated with nonprofit organization program use, or programs targeted to address identified community needs. It should be noted that direct costs do not usually include facility maintenance, custodial services or utility costs. SR 97:289
