<br />As the table above shows, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
<br />Department is over-recovering by approximately $36,000 as it specifically and only
<br />relates to park and facility rentals. The cost recovery level of 114% is above the
<br />typical range of 20-40% that is seen for Parks and Recreation services. It is important to
<br />note that for Parks and Recreation services specifically, the goal of the service is to
<br />provide services and benefits that are affordable to residents and competitive with
<br />surrounding areas. As the comparative analysis revealed the City of Redwood City’s’
<br />Parks and Recreation facilities and park rentals meet that criteria. The primary source of
<br />this over-recovery is due to the facility rentals, which should not be based on the cost of
<br />the service, but rather based on the market value of those facilities as it compares to
<br />surrounding jurisdictions. Additionally, as discussed this over-recovery is represented as
<br />only one rate was used to calculate the revenue at current fee, when different rates are
<br />used for non-profit and business rentals, meaning that the over-recovery shown above
<br />might actually be minimal.
