BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Presented at the November 7, 2024, Parks and Recreation Commission for recommendation to City Council.
DISCUSSION
The Parks & Recreation Department updates its Parks & Recreation Master Fee Schedule annually based on CPI (Consumer Price Index) adopted by previous council action to match annual percentage increases in the CPI that coincide with annual fee increases . The additions to Fee Bulletin 7-200 of the City’s Master Fee Schedule include the following:
1. New fee schedules for Harborside Park, that includes waiving fees through December 2025 to assist in activating the park;
2. New Loma Verde Pool fees for new amenities, such as the Splash Pad;
3. New fee for Parkway Pool amenities, such as the Designated Party Space on Deck; and
4. Waiver of fees for Veterans Day Services by local 501(c)19 entities (Veterans Service Organizations) use of the Memorial Park on November 11 every year.
The Parks and Recreation Department understands the importance of recreational programs and accessibility to parks. The recent renovation of the Loma Verde Pool has brought the opportunity to expand services to the community. Harborside Park renovations is scheduled to reopen December 16, 2024, and Parkway Pool has added amenities not previously available. The Parks and Recreation Master Fee Schedule continues to follow Citywide Cost Recovery Policy (159-03) to ensure all applicable factors are considered.
Furthermore, rates were developed through careful analysis from current market rates for public pool and public park amenities factoring in cost recovery.
