stated in the attached resolution, the fees and charges shall be
calculated to recover no more than the City's direct costs of
providing the program or service plus indirect overhead costs. By
implementing the resolution, Staff is allowed the flexibility to
adjust Recreation fees as needed and, in addition, to establish fees
for new programs and services in a timely manner.
It is the recommendation of Staff that the City Council adopt the
attached resolution "Establishing A policy For The Development Of
