Request approval of the Parks and Recreation Fee Schedule - Elizabeth Gilbert Elizabeth Gilbert led the Commission through the Fee Schedule along with a council recommendation.

A voice vote was 4-1 and the motion passed with members Oldrup, Mathison, Joyce and Robertson voting yea. Member Edwards voted nay. NON-ACTION ITEMS 1. All-inclusive Park Discussion – Jim Burress, Director of Parks and Recreation Jim Burress gave a report on the all-inclusive park that the Parks Department has been working on with the NM Autism Society. The City and the Autism Society have come to a mutual agreement via a Memo of Understanding. The MOU states that the Society will fundraise to purchase the specialized playground equipment and the Parks Department will install it and maintain it. It is proposed to be placed in Cahoon Park because of the current available amenities there. 2. Discuss the price of the Alien Chase Race – Damian Cheatem, Recreation Supervisor Damian Cheatem, Recreation Supervisor explained that this race will be done with chip timing which consists of small microchips in each participants bib. The chips automatically clock each participants race time when they cross the finish line. This eliminates the need for so many staff at the finish line trying to manually clock each participant and record it as they finish. This is the largest race of the year, with generally around 500 participants. The finishes are easier to manage and much more accurate. However, as of now, the Recreation Department does not own the equipment to do chip timing. Therefore, the equipment will need to be rented and it is quite expensive. The Parks and Recreation Department has been working to purchase their own chip timing equipment, but it hasn’t gone through. Therefore, the cost to rent the equipment for this race has been passed on to the participants. A price comparison across the state for similar races, Roswell is still one of the least expensive. 3. Spring River Park and Zoo Update Report – Marge Woods, Zoo Superintendent Marge Woods gave a presentation on the upcoming changes and developments at the Zoo. It is expected the groundbreaking on the new Mountain Lion Exhibit will be this fall. Some items we will work on over the next year will be new signage, single-point entry into the zoo in order to charge an entrance fee, marketing, and offering Zoo merchandise. In order to achieve these items we will be pursuing business and individual donations, grants, and other avenues of funding. OTHER BUSINESS PUBLIC COMMENTS None ADJOURN The meeting was adjourned at 7:03 p.m. Next Commission Meeting: August 20, 2018 at 5:30 pm

Submitted by: Lisa Rosales CITY OF ROSWELL Parks and Recreation Commission Cahoon Park Office Conference Room Roswell, NM 88202 Monday, June 18, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. ACTION REQUESTED: Discuss and Consider Recommendation to General Services Committee 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 Version A: This is the resolution that the Committee is asked to review and consider recommendation. This also shows the changes in the fees from what is currently approved. • Resolution 18-36 Version B: This is the resolution that the Committee is asked to review and consider recommendation. This shows some suggested changes from City Council members. • 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. Currently matches Version A. • 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: Discuss and Consider Recommendation to General Services Committee of Resolution 18-36: Recreation Division Fee Schedule STAFF RECOMMENDATION: None at this time.

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 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 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 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. 4|Parks and Recreation - Programming Methodology Flow Chart Determine: Costs Services Market Conditions Demand General Fund Capacity Set Cost Recovery Targets Set Pricing Unsuccessful?

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 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 Adults 80-100 80-100 20-40 80-100 Families 60 40-60 0-20 40-60 Seniors 30 30 0-20 20-30 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 1. Full Subsidy Programs: a.
