The project team worked with Parks and Recreation staff to <br />collect data regarding facility and park rentals for each facility and park. <br />For each of the facilities, the project team utilized actual usage data from the <br />Facilities to determine the total hours of utilization. Then the total expenditures / budget <br />for the specific recreation center including staffing and utility costs was used to calculate <br />the direct cost of the facility. Similar to other recreation programs, maintenance, <br />departmental, and citywide overhead costs were also applied to each of the individual <br />centers. The overhead support estimated the total indirect cost, which was then <br />combined with the direct cost to arrive at the total cost for operating each of the <br />recreation centers and parks. Based upon the hours of utilization and the total cost an <br />hourly rate was calculated. The following table shows the fully burdened hourly rate for <br />each of the facilities and the overall average hourly rate for facilities. <br />Center / Park Name Fully Burdened Hourly Rate <br />Red Morton Community Center $101.91 <br />Sandpiper Community Center $168.64 <br />Senior Center $24.14 <br />Fair Oaks $115.50 <br />Community Activities Building $101.91 <br />FACILITY AVERAGE $102.42 <br /> <br /> As the table above shows, the average hourly rate for Recreation Centers is <br />$102, which is more than most of the hourly rentals, but in line with some of the larger <br />room rentals such as the Multi-purpose room at the Fair Oaks Community Center. <br /> As the park and picnic rentals are done on a per instance and not a per hour <br />basis, the project team calculated fully burdened hourly rates associated with renting <br />the picnic rentals, ensuring tables are there, the bounce house area is there, and <br />reviewing the applications. The fully burdened hourly rate used incorporated costs <br />associated with staff associated with the process as well as costs such as custodial <br />7.A. - Page 40
