Gladys Eddy reported that the Advisory Board had met with Council
members to discuss recreation fees, the sliding scale, and general information.
She announced that the Board will meet with Council again in March after a
careful study has been done concerning the fees of the recreation programs and
the possibility of using the sliding scale to determine fees. Board members
expressed concern that the sliding scale might not generate as much income as
it would cause paperwork and administrative time. The Board asked that the
staff find out if other areas of the state are using a sliding scale. Bob
Hunt said that the Board has not defined what income group we are trying to
help.
The Board felt that the staff should evaluate administrative costs of
recreation programs along with the other costs and to bring the study back
to the Board at a later date. Don Peters suggested the possibility of using
the number of participants to help determine adeluistrative costs.
