Receive a Staff presentation and hold discussion regarding the proposed Parks and Recreation programs and services fees based on cost recovery, and the introduction of an Administrative Fee for Nuisance Abatement for the Code Compliance Division of Neighborhood Enhancement, and provide direction to the City Manager. Mr. Lumbreras, City Manager, provided a brief introduction regarding the cost recovery fees for Parks and Recreation programs and services and the possible implementation of an administrative fee for Code Compliance when nuisance abatement is necessary. He explained that setting fees appropriately is necessary for a number of reasons, and especially during tight budget times. It helps fund programs the community enjoys, and decreases reliance on property or sales tax revenue. This process began over a year ago and he acknowledged the hard work of staff and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to get us to this point and providing the recommendation council is receiving this afternoon.
