C• Resolution No. 18-45 Page 4 of 4 4XVI Mi1 CITY OF COSTA MESA PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: FINANCE DEPARTMENT BUDGET TEAM FROM: JUSTIN MARTIN, PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR DATE: JUNE 20, 2018 SUBJECT: FEE ADOPTION SUPPORTING INFORMATION The purpose of this memo is to provide information pertaining to new, non-resident fees or proposed non-resident fee increases for the Parks and Community Services Department for FY 2018/2019. Backaround During the FY 2017/2018 budget process, the Parks and Community Services Department proposed fee increases in several divisions of the department, with the majority of these program fee increases being tied to programs in the recreation division. In an effort to proactively and efficiently pursue additional avenues of revenue, while continuing to keep program costs affordable, staff continued to analyze additional department fees that had not previously been adjusted or highlighted for potential increase. Discussion Staff identified three (3) areas where fee increases, or the creation of new fees, are recommended for non-residents participants only. These fees pertain to 1) Senior Center Travel & Membership programs, 2) ROCKs Summer program, and 3) Aquatic programs. Analysis New Fees: 1. Senior Travel & Membership: Offers organized trips to various local and regional attractions, and an annual membership to the facility. • Currently in FY 17/18, all participants pay a registration fee for a trip, but no administrative fee is charged and there is no annual Center membership fee. • The recommended fees are a $5 administrative fee per non-resident, per trip, and a $10 annual Center membership fee for non-residents. • These fees are projected to increase revenue in the amount of $5,085 annually. • For comparison purposes: o City of Fountain Valley does not have a senior travel program (eliminated previously). o City of Newport Beach and City of Huntington Beach do not charge an administrative fee, but do charge a higher fee for non-members. • The City of Costa Mesa Senior Center does not have a membership fee currently in FY 17/18. 2. ROCKS Summer Program: Mimics school year program and takes place during the school Summer break (approx. 9 weeks, M -F from 11 am — 4 pm). • Currently in FY 17/18, there is no fee for this program (except for optional fee-based excursions). • The current recommended non-resident fee structure is: o $10 enrollment fee 0 4 -week session: $52 0 5 -week session: $63 This fee structure is projected to increase revenue in the amount of $14,500 annually. For comparison purposes: o The City of Newport Beach has no free summer programs. o The City of Huntington Beach has no free summer programs. o The City of Irvine has no free summer programs. o The City of Fountain Valley has no free summer programs. "Please note that the projected revenue for ROCKs Summer Program is broken down into 2 sessions and only session 1 revenue will be captured in the FY 18119 budget. The remaining revenue (session 2) will be captured in the FY 19120 budget. Existing Fee Increases: 4. Aquatics: Classes and program offerings at the Downtown Aquatic Center. • Currently in FY 17/18, there are existing fees in place for all classes and programs that are offered. These fees have not been increased since 2011. • The recommended fee is to increase non-resident fees by 10% for all aquatic programs and classes. • This fee is projected to increase revenue in the amount of $3,370 annually. • For comparison purposes, this increases still keep Costa Mesa in fiscal competition with other local municipal aquatic program offerings. Fiscal Review The total projected revenue to be generated from the aforementioned fees is $15,705 in FY 18/19 and $22,955 in FY 19/20. Conclusion The aforementioned, non-resident fees are expected to generate $15,705 in revenue in FY 18/19, and will keep Costa Mesa programs price competitive with other neighboring and Community Services Director
