Chapter 5: How We Get There 64 getting thereRecreation Tiered Pricing <br />One way to address the stress between the city’s need for cost recovery for some of its programs and ensuring <br />that programs are affordable and accessible to all residents is by pricing its programs according to a tiered pricing <br />model. <br />In this model, programs that benefit the entire community are equally available to everyone and are self-directed <br />would be supported by revenue from the general tax fund, grants, or partnerships. <br />For programs that benefit both the community and the individual user fees, grants, or sponsorships would cover <br />anywhere from 25% to 100% of the direct costs. Examples of such programs are senior programs, after school <br />programs, and summer camps that require instructors, clean-up, and prep time. <br />For programs that have a highly individual benefit, such as fitness classes and field trips, user fees may pay for <br />100% or more of the direct costs. <br />To assure equal opportunity for low-income users, the Parks and Recreation Department offers scholarships for <br />fee based programs. <br />0% <br />100% Tax <br />supporTed <br />25% <br />50% <br />75% <br />100% <br />100% user fee <br />supporTed of <br />direcT cosT <br />HigHly <br />individual <br />benefiT <br />For example: Private <br />Lessons, Tennis, Dance <br />MosTly individual <br />benefiT <br />For example: Youth Sports, Adult <br />Athletic Leagues, Swim Lessons, Fitness <br />individual / coMMuniTy benefiT <br />For example: Senior & Adult Programs <br />coMMuniTy individual benefiT <br />For example: Teen Programs, After School / No School Activities, <br />Youth Activities, Events <br />coMMuniTy benefiT <br />For example: Parkland and Facilities, Playgrounds, Trails, Concerts <br />Page 132 of 240
