Legislation Title: AN ORDINANCE relating to the Department of Parks and Recreation, establishing the 2003 and 2004 fee schedule for the use of park properties and other park and recreation facilities and services; superceding previous park and recreation fee schedules; and amending Section 18.28.010 of the Seattle Municipal Code.

Summary of the Legislation:

This legislation establishes the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 2003 and 2004 fee schedule that supports the use of Seattle park properties and other park and recreation facilities and services. The legislation also establishes general provisions for implementing the fee schedule, including conditions under which the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation is authorized to establish fees not included, or waive any of the fees included, in Exhibit 1.

Please see the attached Changes from 2002 Adopted Budget, Proposed 2003-2004 Fees and Charges (Fiscal Note Attachment A), which lists 2002 adopted fees that DPR proposes changing in 2003 and/or 2004. A brief rationale is provided for each change proposed.

Background (Include justification for the legislation and funding history, if applicable):

Fees and charges are necessary to provide financial support to the Department for the operation and maintenance of programs, facilities, and park grounds. The Parks fee structure addresses the following key elements: inflation, market conditions, improved cost recovery, and sensitivity to customer acceptance of fee changes.

The revenue generated by these fees constitutes approximately twenty-two percent of funds required for operating and maintaining the Parks system. All fees collected from Park and Recreation activities and concessions are used exclusively for the Parks system, except for fees related to the Joint Athletic Field Use Agreement with Seattle Public Schools. The Department proposes fees and charges each year as part of the annual budget process.

The attached Proposed Changes from 2002 Adopted Budget, Proposed 2003-2004 Fees and Charges (Fiscal Note Attachment A) provides a summary of Park and Recreation fee changes between 2002 and 2003, and then changes between 2003 and 2004. DPR Fees and Charges are reviewed periodically to determine whether market conditions warrant increases, as well as to establish fees for new programs. Improving cost recovery is a component in developing fee increases and, to the extent possible, this proposal reflects this focus. Other fee increases reflect a general three per cent cost of living adjustment that is in line with the City’s Department of Finance inflation guidelines for labor, benefit, and non-labor costs to maintain revenue forecasts in line with baseline expenditure increases.

DPR is committed to maintaining services during the current period of targeted reductions. To that end, raising fees to recover inflationary costs of services is appropriate.

The 2003-2004 Parks Fees and Charges proposal includes the following significant adjustments:

Ÿ Woodland Park Zoo: The Zoo is operating under a new management agreement with the Woodland Park Zoological Society (WPZS), effective March 1, 2002. Any fees and charges related to the Zoo that may be established by WPZS in 2003 are not included in the proposed DPR schedule.

Ÿ Aquarium: The Aquarium budget for 2003 - 2004 recommends two strategies to sustain and develop the current level of attendance at the Aquarium and to slightly reduce the General Fund subsidy for its operations. Sustaining attendance and attracting new patrons requires investing in the Aquarium and creating new experiences for visitors. The higher admission and membership prices proposed will support proposed new spending to improve visitors’ experience and market the Aquarium. This investment is expected, in turn, to result in maintaining the same number of customers at proposed higher prices. An estimated $600,000 in new revenue is expected in 2003 and an additional $194,000 in 2004. See Appendix I for a related market survey.

Ÿ Aquatics Programs: Many fees are proposed to increase, reflecting the department’s focus on improving cost recovery and including a factor for inflation. Parks anticipates $346,000 in new revenue in 2003 and an additional $53,000 in 2004 from proposed increases in various swimming pool fees.

Ÿ Athletic Stadium and Sports Field Usage Fees: Four new athletic stadiums were added to the Parks system in 2002, and sixteen new synthetic fields came on-line during the 2001-2002 biennium at either Seattle Public Schools or Park sites. In addition, new usage fees are proposed for grandstand usage, and ticket booth usage costs, for example. Other fees in effect in 2002 are proposed to be increased such as lighting costs associated with adult play, track and field usage, and related equipment usage.

Seattle Schools and Parks have agreed on a fee schedule that will reflect recovery of the costs of operation of athletic facilities. Parks will collect all fees, retain revenues associated with the Department’s operational costs, and submit the balance to the School District. Overall, Citywide athletic fee revenue is expected to increase by $454,000 in 2003 and an additional $50,000 in 2004. See Appendix II for a related market survey.

The financial cost of not implementing the legislation (Estimate the costs to the City of not implementing the legislation, including estimated costs to maintain or expand an existing facility or the cost avoidance due to replacement of an existing facility, potential conflicts with regulatory requirements, or other potential costs if the legislation is not implemented):

Not implementing this legislation as proposed would require reductions in services or programs. Such reductions would limit the Department’s ability to generate revenue to cover costs associated with simply maintaining facilities.

Possible alternatives to the legislation which could achieve the same or similar objectives (Include any potential alternatives to the proposed legislation, including using an existing facility to fulfill the uses envisioned by the proposed project, adding components to or subtracting components from the total proposed project, contracting with an outside organization to provide the services the proposed project would fill, or other alternatives):

Not applicable

Is the legislation subject to public hearing requirements?

While no public hearing is required, this legislation will be subject to public hearing as part of the 2003-2004 budget process. Notices will be posted throughout the Parks system to notify users of the proposed fee schedule.

Other Issues (including long-term implications of the legislation):

The level of rate increases contained in this proposal will sustain the Department’s costs for the near-term, but will not be sufficient to cover funding that will be required at the expiration of the 2000 Parks Levy. After the levy expires in 2008, additional fees, General Fund support, or a levy renewal will be required or services and programs will revert to pre-Levy levels. The 2002 Budget includes $4.4 million from the levy for Environmental Stewardship, Maintenance, and Programming and the Levy financial plan identifies $6.7 million of levy expenditures for these programs by 2008.

DPR is committed to continuing to review fee policies and schedules in light of the economy and changes in park and recreation services provided by other local jurisdictions, particularly given the impacts of fiscal issues confronting the Seattle Public Schools and the King County Park System.

Aquarium - Proposed Fee Increases

Market Survey Data Results

The Aquarium proposes increasing and simplifying admissions fees to increase revenue in support of exhibit, interpretation, and marketing programs. Approximately 580,000 people visit the Aquarium annually, and most revenue results from generating attendance. Aquarium management has determined that revenues can be increased by attracting more visitors or raising prices.

To this end, the Aquarium proposes fee increases in admissions and membership fees and elimination of many discounts while considering what the market will bear. The added revenues (estimated to be $600,000 in 2003 and $194,000 in 2004) will be used to invest in new products and better marketing to retain and expand attendance.

The proposed admissions fee increases listed on pages 3-4 in the Fee Schedule are based in part upon the following market survey:

Organization	Adults	Youth	Child
Seattle Aquarium -Proposed 2003	$11.00	$7.00	$5.00

The basis for the proposed membership fee increase is based on the results of the following survey. It is assumed that the Aquarium will continue to have a joint membership program with the Zoo. The proposed membership fee increase brings fees to a level that remains below the market survey of comparable institutions.

Organization-2002 Membership Fees	Family	Individual

Market Survey Data Results

Athletic facilities usage fees are established for Parks and Recreation and Seattle Public Schools stadiums that can be scheduled for various sports throughout the year.
