 Recreational Programs
Fees imposed for recreational programs offered by the City shall be set at the
discretion of the Parks and Recreation Director, not to exceed the cost of the
individual programs.The City's full cost of implementing and individual program 
may be calculated as follows:

                    Program Cost of Service = [ (A x B) + C + D + E + F + H]

    A = Estimated time for City staff to implement the individual program.
    B = Applicable hourly rates for the staff functions involved in the implementation 
            of the individual program.
    C = Actual cost incurred by the City for any outside service provider involved in 
            the individual program.
    D = Actual cost incurred by the  City for any specific materials acquired for use 
            during the individual program.
    E = Prevailing facility rental and/or field use fees imposed by the City and 
            reflected in its master fee schedule.
    F = Prevailing technology fee (below).
    H = Actual costs incurred by the City to rent and/or use facilities/fields from other
            entities.

The calculated cost of service above represents the maximum fee that could be
imposed by the City for an individual recreation program. The City may recover
between 0% and 100% of the cost of service. Cost recovery targets may vary by
individual program, at the discretion of the Parks and Recreation Director as
determined during the seasonal development of the City's program offerings. The City
may also set differential fee for residents and non-resident participants. Any person
with a home San Carlos mailing address is considered a resident. A San Carlos P.O.
box or business address will not be taken as proof of residency. A non-resident is
someone who lives in another city. Non-resident fee will be charged at 20% of the 
class fee up to a $20 maximum per class.
