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.

Policy Statement
The City of San Mateo Parks and Recreation Department Financial Sustainability Strategy intends to create organizational resilience by way of logical, intentional, and thoughtful guidelines for investment and spending decisions. The strategy encourages revenue generation strategies and practices that are fair, equitable, and responsible.

In alignment with the City of San Mateo’s Strive San Mateo General Plan 2040 Parks and Recreation Department goal COS-9 - Provide stable and adequate operational and capital funding for the parks and recreation system, the Department’s financial sustainability plan seeks to balance community investment with financial discipline to insure long-term sustainability of the Department. This policy guides the allocation of City resources to allow for the most equitable benefit to the community.

Subsidy/Cost Recovery
Cost recovery refers to offsetting the costs (expenses) of delivering services by way of revenues generated from fees and charges, sponsorships, donations, grants, and other alternative revenue streams. Alternatively, subsidy represent a tax source into the City. It is granted by a governmental entity; typically to remove some type of burden and often considered to be in the overall interest of the public. It is also given to promote a social good or an economic policy.

For example, a cost recovery level of 75% simply means that for each dollar spent on a service, 75-cents are generated from a revenue source (i.e., fees) with the remaining 25-cents covered by subsidies (i.e., taxes).

Service Categories
The development of categories which include like services are important when it comes to justifiable and equitable allocation of subsidy, cost recovery levels, and assignment of budget and general ledger lines to account for a category’s fiscal performance.

The benefits of this type of approach are two-fold. First, it is inefficient for the Department to determine cost recovery expectations by each individual service including facility, activity, or event. Secondly, categorizing by “type of service” or “likeness of service” discourages attempts to determine fees and charges (and therefore cost recovery decisions) based upon special interests, age-based services, or individual values.
