** Parks, Recreation, and Community Services - the PRCS Department annual costs for recreation programs and facility uses were calculated at the program level. This provides City staff and City Council with current cost recovery information and allows the City to establish, if desired, a cost recovery policy applicable to each program or grouping of programs. It is a common policy directive to subsidize certain types of recreation program fees, given that the nature of recreation services has an inherent benefit to the community at large. PRCS will review all of its programs to develop and recommend policy goals for cost recovery vs. subsidy, solicit input from various stakeholders including the PRCS Commission, and return to Council in 2025 with a refined proposal.
