of each calendar year reflecting inflation and helping to sustain operational standards and quality of service.
DISCUSSION
The City of Moreno Valley is allowed to recover costs for certain services provided at the request of the public. Based on California statutes, cities are able to recover up to the full cost of services which are provided based on voluntary requests from the public. The statutes require that any revenues collected related to the provision of these services can only be used to offset costs resulting from the performance of the requested services or activities. These fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing that service.
The Parks and Community Services Fees include fees related to programs (sports, contract classes, seniors & others), park reservations (athletic fields, picnic shelters, and others), and facility room rentals (Conference and Recreation Center, Senior Community Center and other community centers) managed by the Parks and Community Services Department.
In keeping with best practices, fees will be adj usted annually to reflect the impact of inflation.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the recommended action as presented in this staff report. Staff recommends this alternative since this establishes a fee schedule that can meet the expected needs of the community b y offering park programs, activities, and facility rentals.
2. Do not approve the recommended action as presented in this staff report. Staff does not recommend this alternative since this will result in a fee structure that is not sufficient to offer the n eeded programs, activities, and facility rentals to the community.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the adoption of these user fees will be dependent on the demand for these services from the community.
