Recreation Classes and Program Fees 2019-122 806 12/17/2019 1
BACKGROUND
The City of Redding Recreation Division offers more than 350 classes and programs to more than
13,000 participants annually. Changes in wages and participation rates directly affect the cost of
providing these programs. In order to maintain a cost-recovery ratio that is reasonable, and within
budgeted funds, flexibility is needed to make adjustments as needed
PURPOSE
To establish a policy for the rate at which City recreation programs should be recovering direct costs
and to provide staff authority to make adjustments to fees when program costs or revenues change.
POLICY
It is the policy of the City Council that:
1) Youth recreation class/program fees be set at a rate to target a ninety percent (90%) recovery
of the direct costs associated with the program.
2) Adult recreation class/program fees be set at a rate to target one hundred five percent
(105%) recovery of the direct costs associated with the program.
3) Free programs including those conducted at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, the Junior
Giants baseball program, open play at Fantasy Fountain, and fitness classes at the Senior
Citizens Hall are excluded.
Direct costs are defined as materials, supplies, and part-time personnel costs required to conduct the
specific class or program. Administration personnel, overhead costs, and facilities are not included.
PROCEDURE
As the class/program roster is established in the months prior to the schedule being published, staff
will review attendance and costs of prior programs, evaluate current costs and set a class/program
fee projected to recover the appropriate percentage based on activity. Quarterly, staff will review
actual fee recovery experience to monitor compliance.
