City of Kalispell Post Office Box 1997 - Kalispell, Montana 59903 Telephone: (406) 758-7701 Fax: (406) 758-7758 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Johnson and City Council From: Doug Russell, City Manager Re: Fee Schedule for Parks and Recreation Meeting Date: April 20, 2015 BACKGROUND: At the City Council work session on April 13, our Parks and Recreation Department presented an updated fee schedule that had been developed over this past winter. Periodically, the City Council reviews and updates this fee schedule for respective Parks and Recreation activities and reservation fees. As it has been several years since this has been completed, our Parks and Recreation Department has been analyzing activity costs for our recreation programs and comparing that to our estimated revenues to identify the break-even point. Additionally, we sampled other communities with like activities to review their respective fees. We also made comments as to additional considerations that may be of value when setting fees, such as an overriding community benefit. Included with this memo is an updated fee schedule for activities and reservations. Additionally, we are including the table that was presented at the work session that contains our activities estimated break-even point, market sampling information, relevant information, and current and proposed fees (both in-city and out-of-city). At the work session, Council did provide some respective guidance related to creating equity for some of the increases. These adjustments have been reflected in the updated fee schedule. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The new fee schedule will be implemented in time for most of the fees to be reflective in the next fiscal year. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 5715, a resolution establishing reservation and activity fees for the Parks and Recreation Department.
