The recommendation had three points: (l) Complete an audit of the fees that are now in place which would include the true cost of maintenance of all facilities; (2) Apply 80% of the fees directly back to the facility being used and the monies would be placed in a revenue account; and (3) the completion of the form Community Center Division Fee Waiver Guidelines that would be used to determine what percentage of the fees would be charged. This determination would be based on the; information provided on the form. Part of the process required the groups representative would come before the Recreation and Parks Commission with their request and a waiver or reduced charge may also be applicable if the center is already open on the date of request. In conclusion the Commission requested that effective immediately a minimum of 15% of the fees that are in place be charged to all groups. This percentage would be a starting point until the audit of fees are completed and this would also implement a graduated plan that would lead to payment of full fees.
