TO: City Council
FROM: Director, Department of Parks, Recreation and Facilities
AMENDMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council amend the Comprehensive Fee Schedule, Resolution No.
20362 as amended, to add a Contract Rate for Nonprofit Swim Teams to the
Recreation Division's Swim Center fee schedule.
SUMMARY:
Periodically, the City's Comprehensive Fee Schedule is amended to incorporate
proposed fee changes and additions to allow for the more effective use of City
facilities by various user groups. The proposed Contract Rate for Swim Teams
accomplishes this be creating an affordable monthly rental rate based upon the
number of swimmers in a given club. These rates would only be applicable to
nonprofit swim teams and are for non-exclusive, shared use of the Palm Springs
Swim Center.The proposed rates are based upon amounts historically considered
to be affordable to the swim clubs and are consistent with those rates previously
approved by way of contracts/agreements by the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The City has a Comprehensive Fee Schedule, which regulates what fees can be
charged for various City services and facilities. The Recreation Division has fees
regulated by the Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
To help generate revenue and cover the cost of doing business, the City
establishes fees for the use of its various public facilities.As facilities are modified,
programs become more or less popular and market demands change; facility use
fees are then modified or created to meet these changing conditions and public
service requirements.The current demand for use of the City's pool by more than
one swim club has precipitated the establishment of the proposed multi-level fee
structure. These rates are being proposed to meet the use requirements of all
teams by providing both an affordable and equitable fee structure based upon
team membership levels and the financial ability of such teams to pay for the use
of City facilities.
The Recreation Division still retains the ability to examine changing conditions and
service requests by way of stipulations incorporated into the Facility Use
Application, which must be submitted to apply for use of Recreation Division
facilities.
