Title
Presentation on the Parks and Recreation Department proposed Revenue Management Policy Philosophy.
Body
Summary:
The Deer Park Parks and Recreation Department (DPPARD) is responsible for safeguarding and prudently managing public funds, which includes planning for and providing adequate funding and resources to deliver the needed and desired parks and recreation municipal services to the community. To establish and document a policy framework for effective fiscal decision-making, planning, and management, the DPPARD proposed to establish and maintain a comprehensive Revenue Management Policy. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that financial resources are available to meet the present and future needs of the City and its citizens.
The DPPARD has begun the ground work to create this policy. A key aspect of the policy is the establishment of a philosophy that will help City staff to develop further ideas, concepts, and guidelines for this proposed policy. The philosophy will assist DPPARD to establish applicable and equitable fees for its programs in the future. The fees will help to offset the costs of operations to the DPPARD and to the City’s general fund.
Attached to this document is a copy of the presentation regarding the philosophy proposed by staff to be utilized in the creation of this proposed document.
