BACKGROUND
The Recreation Department last updated fees in June 2003. Staff is proposing fee
increases and changes, and new fees based upon: (1) the Consumer Price Index (CPI); (2)
informal surveys and assessments of what increases would be appropriate in the Chula
Vista "market"; and (3) City cost increases. New fees and/or increases are proposed for
Facility Rentals, Athletics, Aquatics, and Miscellaneous.
Costs have increased across the board in all areas of Recreation: in salaries and wages; in
benefits; for supplies and services; escalating utility costs; and higher equipment costs. In
light of these increases staff believes that the fee increases are reasonable and necessary.
It should be pointed out that the proposed increases will not cover actual costs of program
delivery and are a balance of community need and business necessity.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed actIvIty for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined
that the activity is not a "Project" as defmed under Section 15378 of the State CEQA
Guidelines because it does not involve a physical change to the environment; therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject
to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the resolutions amending the
Master Fee Schedule to effect changes to existing fees and the addition of new fees for
Recreation and Aquatics, as shown in Attachments "A" and "B", respectively.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Parks and Recreation Commission accepted the staff report and recommended
adoption of the proposed fee increases at its May 17, 2007 meeting. A nnmber of the
Commission members suggested staff consider further raising the fees for Youth Sports
Council teams, tournament fees, field rentals, and out-of-season sports. Attached, as
Attachment "C", is a draft copy of the Commission meeting minutes.
DISCUSSION
Recreation fees have not been revised since 2003 although costs of operations and service
delivery have risen substantially. Staff supports the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA) which asserts that fees and charges should be reviewed for factors
such as the impact of inflation, cost increases, the adequacy of the coverage of costs, and
current competitive rates, and then fees should be updated, if necessary. As part of that
review the full cost of providing a service should be calculated in order to provide a basis
for setting the charge or fee.
Operatine: Cost Calculations
Costs can be calculated by taking the FY06-07 Recreation Department budget (not
including indirect costs allocated to the Recreation Department from support departments
such as building and custodial maintenance) and allocating these costs across the board to
various recreation programs. The total program costs can than be divided by the
available programming hours for each facility type to come up with an hourly cost.
Program hours for this purpose include only those hours that facilities are open to the
general public.
For the current fiscal year the pools program 5,744 hours annually (3,040 at Lorna Verde
and 2,704 at Parkway). Total recreation center programmatic hours are 27,540 annually
(10 centers/gyms). The fully allocated cost per program hour for aquatic and center
facilities is calculated by taking the total costs for facility operations divided by the
number of program hours:
6-2
JUNE 12,2007, ItemL
Page 3 of7
Pools: $1,085,448/ 5,744hours = $188.96 per hour
Centers: $3,728,099/27,540 hours = $135.37 per hour
The full cost of providing services is calculated in order to provide a basis for setting the
charge or fee for services. The Government Code prohibits cities from charging more
than the full cost for services, and the fees proposed herein do not exceed the cost of
providing the services. The review of fees and charges is also based on factors such as
the impact of inflation, other cost increases, the adequacy of the coverage of costs, and
current competitive rates.
Recreation Fee Increases Based on CPI
Automatic fee increases based on the CPI that are provided for in the City's current
Master Fee Schedule, per Attachment "A", have been previously approved by Council by
Resolution 2003-194. The Department is instituting these fee increases starting in July
2007, as shown in Attachment "D", and has provided the actual fee increase amount for
information purposes only. The CPI from July 2003 to July 2007 is 11 %; therefore, the
Department is raising fees listed in the Master Fee Schedule by 11 %. Please note that in
the future the Department will be updating fees per the CPI on an annual or every other
year basis, depending on the CPI, so as not to have such a large increase at one time.
The CPI fee increases include fees for recreation center rentals, swim lessons, Youth
Sports Council (YSC) Leagues, tournaments, class registrations, Adult Athletic league
maintenance surcharges, and Therapeutics program memberships, as shown in
Attachment "D". The daily pool entry fees will remain the same, as the 11% CPI
increase does not round the fee up to the next dollar.
Proposed New Recreation Fees
Recreation Center Rentals
The current Master Fee Schedule lists all recreation facilities with their rental rates, with
the exception of the recently opened Salt Creek, Montevalle, and Veterans Recreation
Centers. Given a year's experience with rentals, staff is now ready to propose final rental
rates for addition to the Master Fee Schedule, as shown by facility, in Attachment "A".
The proposed room rates take into account the size and capacity of the rooms, and the
availability of air-conditioning and kitchens. Staff also recommends setting rental fees for
classrooms and conference rooms at Norman Park Center, which have not previously
been established. In addition, the fees for fitness centers built at Norman Park Center and
Salt Creek need to be added to the fee schedule, which match the fees for the fitness
center at Otay Recreation Center.
Alcohol Use Fee
A new fee being added is a $100 non-refundable alcohol use fee that will be charged to
facility renters at applicable facilities where alcohol consumption during rentals is
allowed. Council approved amending the City ordinance to allow permitting of alcohol
6-3
(
JUNE 12,2007,Item~
Page 4 of7
at additional recreational facilities at its May 15, 2007 meeting. This proposed $100 fee
was mentioned in the May 15 Council report.
Proposed Fee Increases and Chanl!es
Athletics
Staff recommends increasing the rental fee for unlighted and lighted fields by
approximately 30% rather than the 11 % CPl increase, due to increased staff and utility
costs. As previously mentioned, members of the Parks and Recreation Commission
suggested that fees for Youth Sports Council (YSC) teams, tournament fees, field rentals,
and out-of-season sports be further increased. Recreation Department staff and Parks
Division staff will be meeting to discuss field management, maintenance, costs, and fees,
based on the Commission's comments at its May 17 meeting, and may be recommending
further changes to the fee schedule at a later date. For now, staff recommends adjusting
the YSC and tournament fees by the 11 % CPl, and the field rental fees by 30% as
mentioned above.
Aquatics
A number of fees are proposed to be adjusted, as detailed below, and per Attachment
"B", at the City's two family aquatic centers: Parkway Family Aquatic Center and Lorna
Verde Family Aquatic Center.
Daily Admission Fees:
Staff recommends adding an Infant (6 months - 3 years) category to the daily fee
schedule, for no charge when accompanied by an adult. This practice has been in effect
for a number of years and should have been added previously.
Summer Swim Lessons:
Staff recommends increasing the sununer swim lesson session fee by another $2 starting
with the sununer lessons beginning in June 2008. The fee would thus increase from $33,
per CPl starting in June 2007, to $35 beginning June 2008.
Private Lessons:
The private lesson fee is proposed to be reduced from $200 to $150. The hourly rate is
actually staying the same; however, the number of session hours is being reduced. The
sessions will be based on five 45-minute classes. The fee is being prorated to provide
personnel savings and increase profit, while offering a program structure that is more
effective for private lessons. Non-residents will no longer have the opportunity to receive
these private lessons.
Adult Lessons:
Adult lessons are proposed to increase $1 beyond CPl to be consistent with the $5
increase that will be in effect for youth swim classes starting summer 2008. Adult lessons
will thus increase from $35 to $40 per session for residents, and from $53 to $60 for non-
residents.

I
JUNE 12, 2007, Item~

Annual Swim Passes:
Staff is recommending the elimination of the annual pass, since there is insufficient
programming during the non-summer months to warrant charging this fee. The fees for
annual passes were dramatically under priced ($90, $135, $175, and $225 for Child,
Senior, Adult, and Family, respectively), and to correct the fees would have required a
substantial and unrealistic increase. The family and child annual passes are particularly
problematic because there is insufficient recreational swim in the off-season to justify this
type of payment option. We recommended eliminating the annual pass rather than the
quarterly pass because the quarterly pass provides the customer with more flexibility. The
quarterly pass provides a more reasonable fee with a lower percentage increase for most
users.
Quarterly Swim Passes:
Staff recommends increasing the quarterly pass beyond the CPI. The proposed increase
for a child is based on $1 per visit (50% discount from daily admission), and consistent
with prioritizing youth access to aquatics. The proposed fees for seniors and adults are
based on 35 visits per quarter and offer a minimum 25% discount from the daily
admission fee for the 35 visits. The proposed fee for families is based on the price of one
child and one adult pass; however, up to seven people residing in the same household
may utilize this pass. Shown below is a table with the current and proposed quarterly
pass fees for residents. Staff recommends offering the quarterly and summer passes
exclusively to residents, thus eliminating the non-resident option, to give residents more
of the benefit.
Quarterlv and Summer Pass Current Fee Pro Dosed Fee
Child $30 $35
Senior $40 $50
Adult $50 $75
Family $75 $110
If we increased quarterly passes only by the 11 % CPI, an increase of $4 for seniors and
$6 for adults, the cost per swim for a senior that swims three times per week would be
only $1.22 and $1.55 for adults. That is a 39% discount for seniors and 48% discount for
adults. The reality is that many of these pass holders swim 4 to 5 times per week so the
discount increases proportionally to $0.92 per visit (4 times weekly) and $0.73 per visit
(5 times weekly) for seniors, and $1.17 (4 times weekly) and $0.93 (5 times weekly) for
adults. The increase proposed by staff provides a pricing system that demonstrates a
systematic relationship between fees, is more consistent with other fees in the region, and
provides the appropriate revenue in relation to increasing costs of operation. Individuals
who do not use the pool as frequently can still receive savings by purchasing a 10-visit
pass.
Quarterly and annual passes are purchased mainly by our lap swim customers. The ideal
operating hours for lap swimmers are not during times when multi-programming is
possible, which makes lap swimming the most costly program that the Aquatic Division
offers. In fact, the annual expense to provide lap swimming represents one-half of the
6-5
JUNE 12, 2007, Item~
Page 6 of7
operating cost to offer swimming lessons to thousands of children. The fee increases are
necessary to ensure that programs that utilize the passes as a means of admission meet
budgetary expectations, or a 40% recovery of personnel expenditures. The current fees
coupled with increased personnel costs make 40% recovery of lap swimming virtually
impossible. A continuation of the current fees could imply that our top priority is not to
provide swim and water safety instruction to children, but rather to provide a venue for
lap swimmers.
Ten-Swim Passes:
The ten-swim pass is also proposed to be increased above the CPI. Nevertheless, the
proposed fee for a child still equates to a 40% discount from the daily rate. The senior
and adult fee equates to a 20% discount form the daily rate. Staff does recommend
retaining the ten-swim pass option for non-residents. Shown below is a table with the
current and proposed ten-swim pass for residents and non-residents.
Ten-Swim Current Current Proposed Proposed
Pass Resident Non-Resident Resident Non-Resident
Child $10 $15 $12 $18
Senior $15 $23 $16 $24
Adult $20 $30 $24 $36
Pool Rentals:
Staff is also recommending changes to rental fees and categories. The current Master Fee
Schedule lists rates for full and partial use of the pools, and rental rates for the Olympic
Training Center (OTC), Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD), and
Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) teams. Staff proposes to eliminate
those categories and replace them with the following three new categories: non-profit and
long-term shared use; exclusive use of pools; and shared pool use. This fee structure will
streamline our fee schedule.
The proposed non-profit and long-term shared usage fee replaces the SUHSD, CVESD,
OTC specific fees which were the same rate for each group. Long-term rentals with a
minimum of 40 hours monthly will receive the non-profit and shared use rate. Non-profit
groups must be residents in order to receive the reduced rate. This fee will increase from
$25 per hour plus staff costs to $28 per hour plus staff costs. Most of our shared use
renters fall under the non-profit and long-term shared use category.
The exclusive use fees would apply when user groups request the facility outside of
normal operating times. A minimum of two staff is required for a rental outside of normal
operating hours, with splash parties requiring a minimum of three staff. This cost will
increase from $50 per hour plus staff costs to $56 per hour plus staff costs.
The shared use rate will increase from $28 per hour to $56 per hour, the same rate as the
exclusive use. Very few renters, if any, will fall in this category, as all of our shared use
renters to date have been non-profit and long-term users.

Staff requests the Council's approval of these fees, which the Department believes are
equitable and necessary.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found a conflict
exists, in that Council member Castaneda has property holdings within 500 feet ofthe
boundaries of Parkway Family Aquatic Center property which is one ofthe subjects of
this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The impact of the proposed Master Fee Schedule changes is approximately $30,000 in
additional revenue to the Department, which has been included in the proposed FY07-08
Recreation Department budget. These fee increases are being used to maintain service
levels given increased costs for labor, utilities, maintenance, and services and supplies.

wear and tear on the fields.
Commissioner Salcido asked and made the suggestion that the teams that utilize the
fields the most should be able to adopt the park or field. The adoption of the fields

needed, etc. Can the City carry out such a suggestions?
Commissioner Salcido also distributed photographs of pictures taken of Veterans Park
3 months ago and present. He noted that the park was in horrible condition 3
months ago, and that present photographs indicate that it's nothing but dirt due to
lack of watering and lack of maintenance. The issues for this park include: the City

Coordination with the Chula Vista Police Department should be taking place when
unauthorized organized sports, utilize the fields. When condition of park is being
reviewed, the City should look at who is utilizing the park. The City needs to be pro-
active with the maintenance of the fieids.

Mr. Byers again reiterated that the Department cut back on watering the fields, no
rain this past winter, and having 2-weeks of hard freeze, caused a lot of the problems
with the fields. None of these weather elements helped the fields citywide. In
addition, he stated tl\1at it is very obvious that the fields at Veterans Park had
incredible usage, in that all 3 fields were programmed with 6 planned soccer games

informed the Commission of his conversation with Matt Little, of General Services, that
after this field was established, it stayed closed for l-year, to ensure the turf was
strong and roots were deep. It was agreed by all that this wasn't going to work well
with all the new parks, where the fields would be fenced off, so the City tried to
monitor and carefully program the fields. It is his opinion thaf the City began
programming the new parks too soon, and too much programming is taking place.

enjoyed naming parks, he was saddened that a park was not named after him. He also
noted that he enjoyed his tenure on the Commission, and wanted staff to know that
there are not enough aquatic facilities. With regards to earlier discussion on field
conditions, Commissioner Perondi stated that the City really needs to take a firm look
and make firm decisions with regards to field maintenance, the conditions the tields are
in, and usage of tields, "Lay Fallow" Field Plan, before someone gets hurt. He also
reminded everyone that when he first began his tenure on the Commission, field usage

and field maintenance were an issue, and back then, he asked that the City review their
policy on field usage. Perhaps, charging an out of season-fee or in-season fee would
help. Perhaps looking at volunteers to maintain parks, and hopefully, this would not take
away permanent positions in Parks Division, however this would deal with labor issues. In
addition, to Mr. Byers' statement about the schools closing their gates to the fields,
Commissioner Perondi suggested that a letter be sent to the Board of Trustees on behalf
of the Department and/or Commission with regards to field allocation.
