PARKS AND RECREATION
RECREATION COST RECOVERY AND PRICING POLICY*
The following shall serve as the policy guidance for establishing a Recreation Activities Cost Recovery Plan, developing annual activity budgets, and establishing fees to be charged for recreation activities. The specific elements of this policy are that:

The Park and Recreation Cost Recovery and Pricing Model shall be used.

In recognition of the wide variety of service values and revenue generating potentials of various activities, specific cost recovery thresholds shall be established for each recreation activity area at the most specific programming level that is administratively practical.

The thresholds shall include both minimum and target levels of cost recovery.

Strategies for achieving the minimum and target thresholds shall be established by staff for each activity area. These strategies may include immediate or gradual action depending upon the best interests of maintaining a strong program, achieving the target within a reasonable time period and current fiscal conditions.

Activity areas unable to meet their minimum threshold after these strategies have been applied shall be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission for consideration of recommending appropriate action: reduce costs; reduce cost recovery target; eliminate activity.

Activities that have achieved or exceeded their target threshold shall be evaluated to determine if the target can/should be increased.

The Cost Recovery Plan shall, where appropriate, also include specific other fee considerations (e.g. benchmarking to a specific competitor) that may supersede cost recovery target considerations.

Once a Cost Recovery Plan is established, and within that context, staff shall have the authority to set and adjust fees, except that no fee increase shall exceed 20% within a 1-year period without the review of the Park and Recreation Commission and approval of the City Council.

As part of the budgetary process, the Park and Recreation Commission shall review the Cost Recovery Plan and the performance of each activity compared to the plan and make any recommendations for changes to the plan.

428 of 466

PARKS AND RECREATION
Program Direct Overhead (DOH): Direct supervision of the program, and minor miscellaneous items such as supervisor mileage.

Facility Overhead (FOH): The combination of facility direct costs (the day-to-day costs to keep the building open- receptionist, custodial services, custodial products, utilities) and facility direct overhead (primarily facility supervision).

Operating Indirect Overhead (Op IOH): Division level and shared costs, such as departmental management, brochure, printing, photocopying, training, accounting support, technology, credit card discount costs, administrative office clerical support, computer, and recreation equipment sinking fund charges
Facility Indirect Overhead (Fac IOH): Calculated charges for the Public Works Building Maintenance for on-going maintenance and repairs (e.g. plumbing, electrical, mechanical, carpentry, painting).

Recreation Cost Tier Definitions
