Wednesday, May 23, 2018 at 4:00 p.m.
ACTION REQUESTED: Review and Consider Approval of Resolution 18-36: Recreation
Division Fee Schedule
BACKGROUND: The Recreation Division of the Parks and Recreation Department
has been reviewing its current fee schedule to ensure it includes
the current fees and activities of the division. Additionally, the
division is preparing for a shift in its service model by adding
memberships to the structure. The memberships would work for
both the Roswell Adult and Recreation Center as well as the
Roswell Recreation and Aquatic Center planned for opening
within the next year.
Currently not included in this fee schedule are the fees that would
be associated with the aquatic facility. The division would like to
review this further and work with the awardee of the recent RFP
to ensure these fees are in line with the plans for operation.
These fees would be authorized as soon as the City Council adopts
the fee schedule, but there will need to be some operational
adjustments to ensure proper processing for some of them. This
includes a point of sale system and equipment be installed at both
facilities as well as a membership management process. Both of
these elements are in process now.
The documents included with this packet include the following:
• Resolution 18-36: This is the resolution that the Committee is
asked to review and consider approval. This also shows the
changes in the fees from what is currently approved.
• Fee Schedule for Publication: This is the fee schedule that will
be published and shared with the public as it is easier to read
and understand than the resolution.
• Comparable rates from other facilities.
• Visitation information and excerpts from the Aquatic Facility
Feasibility Study that details population information.
• Current cost recovery information.
• Cost Recovery Guideline recently passed by Council for
Recreation Programming.

FINANCIAL
CONSIDERATION: These will be the user fees that are charged to users of the
Recreation Division’s services. These fees are crucial to meeting the
cost recovery goal set with the recent approval of the Cost
Recovery Guideline for the Recreation Division. Revenue
information is included with this packet. The amount of revenue
that can be generated from these fees will be monitored and
tracked for ongoing adjustments and will depend on visitation and
usage of our services.
LEGAL REVIEW: Not applicable.
BOARD AND
COMMITTEE ACTION: Review and consider approval of Resolution 18-36: Recreation
Division Fee Schedule.
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 18-36 as presented.

CITY OF ROSWELL
COST RECOVERY GUIDELINE
PARKS AND RECREATION
Recreation Programming
I. PURPOSE
The Cost Recovery Guideline will provide a performance indicator for the City Council,
City Manager, and staff; consistency in rationale for the development of fees and
charges; and direction and contribution to decision making by administration.
Cost recovery is the amount of direct costs that each program, service, or facility will
recuperate utilizing fees, charges, or alternate funding sources versus tax-based
resources.
II. AUTHORITY: City Council Ratification Date: May 10, 2018
III. COST RECOVERY GUIDELINE PRINCIPLES
This guideline identifies principles that govern decisions regarding program
development in the City’s parks and recreational facilities. It is also recognized that
these principles impact decision making around fees and costs. A program is a planned
use of resources, over a set period of time, in a teaching/learning situation with stated
objectives which include:
1. the presentation or practice of a skill and/or activity;
2. socialization and enjoyment; and the use of leisure time;
3. fitness and health education and practices;
4. best practices in leisure activities.
Fee calculations will align with the Parks and Recreation principles of:
1. Working in partnership with individuals, groups, and organizations.
2. Encouraging and supporting activities and programs.
3. Enabling the growth of individuals and families through access to recreation and
social activity.
4. Educating citizens about healthy lifestyles and implications.
5. Organizing and fostering access to activities, programs, services, and opportunities
based on the greatest public benefit, accessibility, convenience, and safety in a
friendly, welcoming, and clean environment.
6. Providing a spectrum of membership and programming options to fit a variety of
needs for individual involvement.
1|Parks and Recreation - Programming
39
IV. PROGRAM BENEFIT CONTINUUM
As a whole, recreation programs span a continuum encompassing programs that benefit
the community as a whole through programs that serve primarily the individuals that
take part in them.
1. Community Benefit: Programs that not only provide recreation opportunities but
also meet a broader community goal. Senior programming or specialized recreation
programs respond to a clear community goal to “fill in the gaps” within our
community to serve underserved groups with limited resources and recreation
opportunities. Community benefit programs are also characterized by their
indivisible nature. Many people can take advantage of a trail, a park, or drop-in
activities at a community center without depleting the availability of the resource
significantly. Their use of that facility or opportunity does not preclude the use by
others.
2. Individual Benefit: Programs that are designed to meet the expressed needs of
participants for particular programs. Their benefit is primarily to the individual user
and space and access to the program is limited in availability or selective in nature.
Participation in the program by one user diminishes the availability of that program
to other users or, in the case of rentals, reserving a particular space restricts access
to that space by other members of the community.
3. Mixed Benefit: Programs that fall in the middle of the continuum. Rarely is a
recreation program strictly community or individual benefit. Most of the recreation
programs offered have some mix of both community benefit and individual benefit.
One example is summer day camps for youth. The community has expressed a clear
desire for programs that serve youth and families where they benefit by having a
safe, structured program for their kids to participate in healthy activities when
school is out. Day camp spaces, however, are limited in number and have significant
cost in staffing and supplies. The public benefits by having youth programming
available, especially when school is out, and the individual youth and families also
benefit from these opportunities. To the extent that these programs benefit the
community, they deserve some level of support and they are also candidates for
some level of cost recovery by user fees.
V. COST RECOVERY PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND METHODOLOGY
The following shall serve as the guideline and methodology for establishing the cost
recovery fee structure plan, developing annual programming budgets, and establishing
fees to be charged for services:
1. 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 programming area at the most specific programming level that is
administratively practical.
2. The thresholds shall include both minimum and target levels of cost recovery.
2|Parks and Recreation - Programming
40
3. Strategies for achieving the minimum and target thresholds shall be established by
staff. These strategies may include immediate or gradual action depending upon the
best interests of developing and maintaining a strong program, achieving the target
within a reasonable time period, and current fiscal conditions.
4. The inability to meet the minimum threshold after these strategies have been
applied shall be reviewed by the staff for consideration of recommending
appropriate action which could include reducing costs, reducing the cost recovery
target, increasing fees, or eliminating the program.
5. Programs that have achieved or exceeded their target threshold shall be evaluated
to determine if the target can/should be increased.
6. The cost recovery plan shall, where appropriate, also include specific other fee
considerations (i.e. benchmarking to a specific competitor) that may supersede cost
recovery target considerations.
7. 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/decrease shall exceed
20% within a one-year period that has been established without approval of the City
Council.
8. At the conclusion of each program and annually during the budget process, the staff
shall review the Cost Recovery Plan and the performance of the each program as
compared to the plan and make any recommendations for changes to the plan.
9. Other plan elements include the following considerations:
a. Track and review visitation to determine optimal service times and opportunities
for program growth and how to capture increased participation in the program.
b. Review opportunities to service larger groups and book specific activities such as
birthday parties.
c. Determine appropriate programming availability with respect to the types and
timing of programs.
10. Cost Recovery Tiers: These are categorized into four programming tiers:
a. Full Subsidy
b. Mostly Subsidized
c. Partial Subsidy
d. Self-Sustaining
The programming tiers
range from community
benefit (full subsidy) to
individual benefit (self-
sustaining) with most of the
recreation programming
being categorized on a
continuum between these.
3|Parks and Recreation - Programming
41
11. Secondary Filters: Evaluating a program based solely on the benefit continuum
would nicely categorize programs that are strictly community or individual benefit,
but does not adequately evaluate the majority of programs that are mixed benefit.
The following additional filters help to place mixed benefit programs into one of the
defined cost recovery tiers by taking into account additional factors such as time,
cost, commitment, and targeted populations.
a. Commitment: The level of commitment a program requires in order to be
offered has to be considered when evaluating cost recovery goals. The higher
the commitment, the more cost recovery will be necessary.
b. Popularity: Program and activity pricing should consider the market rate for
similar services as well as the demand. A very popular program with limited
space and a long waiting list may be a candidate for higher cost recovery, if it is
determined that demand exceeds supply or the price is significantly lower than
the going market rate. Alternatively, a high community benefit program may
require a price decrease because of market factors in order to be viable.
c. Direct Cost: Cost is another factor when considering cost recovery goals.
Programs with high cost and high community benefit may require higher cost
recovery than low cost programs with comparable benefit.
d. Target Market: Programs will be designed to meet the needs of those that are
served by the program. These can be broad markets as in community benefit
programs or more specifically targeted to specific age groups or service needs.
e. Partnerships: Programs are more cost effective when partnered with other
agencies and organizations. Examples include Boys & Girls Club, MainStreet
Roswell, Family Resource and Referral, and RISD.

IX. COST RECOVERY TARGET
The overall recovery target, including the revenues and direct program subsidies, will be
40% with a minimum target of 30%. Cost recovery will be calculated by identifying direct
operating costs and comparing to direct revenues plus the annual subsidy / discounted
fees. This will allow for annual tracking and comparisons. It also ensures that the City’s
contribution to the community, organizations, and individuals will be identified and
recognized.
5|Parks and Recreation - Programming
43
Direct program costs are those costs that are related to providing recreation classes,
programs, or activities and would not be incurred if recreation programs, classes, or
activities were not offered. Costs are specific to the program or activity and fluctuate up
or down based on the number of offerings of that activity or program. These costs are
variable and include program supplies plus contracted or staff wages that teach classes
or supervise programs.
Overhead costs are those costs that occur regardless if recreation classes, programs, or
activities are offered. These costs include support, administration, information
technology, ongoing maintenance costs, and capital improvement costs.
Additionally, each category of program shall have separate target cost recovery rates to
help establish clearer guidelines for staff when developing new programming. These
targets are listed below:
Program Types
Target Markets Aquatics Athletics Community/Shared Instructional
Youth 60-80 75-100 0-20 60-80
Young Adult 80-100 80-100 0-20 80-100

Specialty 20-40 20-40 0-20 20-40
Other Activities
Concessions 150
Facility Rental 100-150
Target Market segment programs are geared towards the age group that makes up that
market as well as the particular needs or interests for each demographic. Community or
Shared programs consist of multigenerational and typically annual or limited occurrence
activities. These programs can be ticketed where a fee is charged to participate or be
structured as drop-in activities that are either free or low cost and appeal to more than
one target market.
Community or shared activities should have a positive community benefit where the
activity contributes to enhanced property values, improving public health, addressing
social and environmental needs, and/or enhancing citizen quality of life.
Specialty target markets include either special groups such as disabled persons or
special purposes such as summer programs or special activities established for specific
groups of people.
As a guideline to help define which tier programs fall into, the following characteristics
should be considered:
6|Parks and Recreation - Programming
44
1. Full Subsidy Programs:
a. Primarily serve families, seniors, and specialty markets
b. Have high community benefit
c. Have a relatively low cost to operate programs
d. Higher fees would be a barrier to access programs
e. Contributes to the livability of the community and would likely not exist if the
City of Roswell did not offer them
2. Mostly Subsidized Programs:
a. Primarily serve families, seniors, and specialty markets
b. Have medium high community benefit and some individual benefit
c. Need additional resources to operate programs
d. Contributes to the livability of the community and may not exist if the City of
Roswell did not offer them
3. Partial Subsidy Programs:
a. Primarily serve young adults, adults, families, and seniors markets
b. Have low community benefit and medium high individual benefit
c. Need more substantial resources to operate programs
d. Clear demand exists for programs
e. Programs are not specialized; open to all who want to participate
f. Benefit individuals and the community by providing access to programs and
activities that promote healthy lifestyles and make Roswell a more attractive
place to live and raise a family
4. Self-Sustaining Programs:
a. Primarily serve youth, young adults, and adults markets
b. Have very low community benefit and high individual benefit
c. Need substantial or specific resources to operate programs
d. Clear demand exists for programs
e. Programs are specialized
f. Participation in these activities, programs, and rentals limits availability or
resources to the general public
g. Benefit individuals and the community by providing access to programs and
activities that promote healthy lifestyles and make Roswell a more attractive
place to live and raise a family
7|Parks and Recreation - Programming
45
VI. FEE SETTING METHOD
1. The direct costs for this service will be a main driver of determining the fees and
using this amount in conjunction with the cost recovery target.
2. Administrative or indirect costs including items such as facility wear and tear,
equipment maintenance/replacement, banking charges, software, insurance, and
other similar expenses shall also be included in the fee determination.
3. Items 1 and 2 will be determined and divided by the anticipated minimum number
of participants to determine the fees.
4. Reduced fees may be established for youth, senior, and specialty categories of users.
5. Non-residents use City services without making significant, compulsory tax
contributions to help support these services. It is reasonable to establish non-
resident differential fee rates for that service's indirect costs. Identification reflecting
a Roswell address will be required.
6. Individuals who purchase memberships shall have certain services included as part
of their membership fee.
7. Group rates shall be established to allow for reservation of the facility and
associated services for groups, organizations, and specialty activities.
8. Employees of the City of Roswell will be eligible for employee rates.
9. Cancellation fees will be determined based on the number of cancellations and the
cost already incurred to prepare for the service.
