TO : Parks & Recreation. Commission <br /> FROM : . Operational Policy Committee - Chairman Schlesinger <br /> DATE : August 30 , 1977 <br /> SUBJECT : FEE SCHEDULE FOR BUILDING USE <br /> The Operational Policy Committee met on August 30 , 1977 . Those present <br /> were Commissioner Schlesinger , Hayes and Pound . Commissioner Anderson <br /> was absent . Commissioner Pound substituted for Anderson . <br /> The Committee met to continue their discussion of the fees being charged <br /> for the use of the recreation buildings , particularly the Community <br /> Activities Building and the Veterans Memorial Building . A survey was <br /> conducted for the Committee which compared nine ( 9 ) other organizations <br /> and agencies that have building facilities available for public use and <br /> the fees charged for this use . The various terms and conditions for <br /> said use were also noted . <br /> It was pointed out to the Committee that it is quite difficult to arrive <br /> at comparable fees and charges with other agencies in that the services <br /> supplied , building space and conditions , use priorities and philosophy <br /> of the agencies differ considerably . Upon reviewing the data and dis- <br /> cussing the various situations , it was the concensus of the Committee <br /> and the staff that the fees and charges currently being charged for the <br /> Department ' s facilities are low and should be raised in order to be <br /> comparable with most other agencies , particularly the local organiza- <br /> tions . <br /> It was pointed out to the Committee that the major concern was to make <br /> certain that the private group use of the facilities (wedding receptions , <br /> parties , business organizations , etc . ) would pay the full costs as well <br /> as assure reimbursement for any damages which might occur to public <br /> property resultant from their use . The Committee was reminded that <br /> at the Park and Recreation Commission meeting of August 10 , 1977 , an <br /> increase to $100 for the deposit for building use was approved . <br /> Upon concluding the discussion , the Committee unanimously agreed to the <br /> following recommendations : <br /> I . That for use Groups IV and V ( non-profit community organizations ) <br /> a . Raise single room charge to coincide with current minimum <br /> custodial rate ( $5 . 50/hr . ) . <br /> b . Raise the two room fee from $5 . 00 to $7 . 50/hr . <br /> c . Raise the three room fee and the Redwood Room ( Veterans <br /> Building) fee from $7 . 50 to $9 . 50/hr . <br /> -6- <br />
