CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Matrix Consulting Group Page 29 maintenance, landscape maintenance, administration overhead, and citywide overhead. There are three main categories for picnic rentals: Park Area, Bounce House, and Shelter. The project team calculated a fully burdened hourly rate for each of these three areas, and the following table shows the fully burdened cost for the three areas as well as an overall average hourly rate: Picnic Rentaly Type Fully Burdened Cost Picnic Area $105 Bounce House $40 Shelter $178 PARK AVERAGE $106 As the table shows the overall average rental rate for parks is $106 accounting for all three different types of rentals. The rate of the picnic area at $105 is higher than most picnic areas with the exception of some of the larger picnic areas such as in Jardin de Niños and Marlin Park. The bounce house rate at $40 per bounce house is higher than the resident rate but lower than the non-resident rate. Similarly, the shelter rate is much lower than the $300 shelter rate used at Red Morton Park. However, as discussed before picnic and facility rentals are market driven and the information in this chapter is intended to provide the cost associated with managing the reservations of these areas, not the actual market value of these areas. 3. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS The results of the facility and the park rentals is intended to provided information to city staff and management regarding the fully burdened cost associated with operating and maintaining the different recreation centers and park facilities. The actual rental rates for these facilities should be established based on a variety of factors: market rates, affordability (different parks and centers cater to different audiences), and competitiveness with other facilities and parks in the areas. 7.A. - Page 41
