Memo
Re: Ordinance No. 45-20 — An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the
Codified Ordinances to Revise the Fee and Service Charge Revenue/
Cost Comparison System and Establishing a Schedule of Fees and
Service Charges for City of Dublin Services
Background
During the November 9, 2020 City Council meeting, members of Council requested additional
information related to the 2020 Cost of Services Ordinance to better understand how Dublin's fees
compare to similar fees charged by other municipalities for public services. This memo is intended
to provide a response to questions raised about benchmarking specific rates in the Recreation
Services Division and Police Department against other communities in the surrounding area.
Additionally, similar information was requested on fees in the Building Standards, Planning and
Engineering Divisions. A separate memo comparing Dublin's development costs and fees to fees
of other municipalities in the region was recently prepared by the Office of the City Manager and
has also been provided to Council as part of the benchmark analysis. The methodology of the Cost
of Services Study used by Dublin reflects the full costs of providing services, with cost recovery
levels established by Council for each service listed in the Fee Schedule. Historically, benchmarking
has not taken precedence in that process and the information contained in this memo provides
additional perspective on fee setting and how Dublin's fees rank against other municipalities.
It is important to note that each community has varying price structures that are used to develop
fees for recreation facilities and pools, and not all facilities or amenities are equal between
communities. The differences in fees explained below provides the most reasonable comparison of
those prices based upon information made available by each municipality.
DCRC Passes
Tables 1, 2 and 3 show 2020 DCRC membership price comparisons using information surveyed and
compiled by Recreation Services, benchmarking the City of Dublin against five other municipalities,
three of which are located in the central Ohio area. The tables detail the difference in price between
DCRC rates and the prices of similar membership and pass types offered in the different
communities. Negative figures highlighted in red depict pass types that are more expensive by dollar
amount in surrounding municipalities. Positive values highlighted in yellow show communities that
offer passes that are currently cheaper than the DCRC.

Annual Passes
Table 1 shows the DCRC resident annual membership price comparisons between Dublin and
Westerville, Worthington, Groveport, Kettering and Vandalia. DCRC annual passes are cheaper
across all resident membership types when compared to the City of Westerville by $72 or greater.
Compared to the City of Worthington, Dublin resident passes are less expensive for individuals,
households of two, seniors and college students. Dublin resident annual passes are also less
expensive for seniors and college students when compared to Kettering and Vandalia. Dublin
household memberships for a family of three or more is higher at the DCRC when matched against
Worthington, Groveport, Kettering and Vandalia. The City of Groveport proves to be the only city in
the analysis with resident rates that consistently fall below that of Dublin across most resident pass
types, with the exception of Dublin's college student pass coming in $62 lower than Groveport.

Daily Passes
When comparing 2020 DCRC daily passes for residents, Dublin and Westerville share very similar
prices across all admission types. Adult and youth daily passes are $7 and $5, respectively, in both
communities. Senior resident daily rates in Dublin are currently $1 higher than Westerville. Dublin's
adult daily pass is $1 less expensive than Worthington, $5 for youth in both communities and senior
daily passes are $1 higher in Dublin. Groveport offers a flat $8 rate for all daily resident pass types,
making DCRC daily rates less expensive in each category for adults, youth and seniors. Dublin's
daily passes are currently higher for all residents when compared to Kettering and Vandalia, except
for youth rates in Vandalia, where both municipalities offer a price of $5 for admission. Table 2
below shows the price difference for each community when compared to Dublin.

Dublin offers the most expensive pass across most membership types for users of the DCRC that do
not reside within city limits when compared to the rates other municipalities charge for non-resident
access to their facilities. The only non-resident membership type that is less expensive in Dublin is
for seniors, with the exception of Groveport which is $35 less than the DCRC.

Senior Citizen Memberships
DCRC senior membership rates have experienced little growth over the past fifteen years. From
2006 until 2018, resident senior pricing remained unchanged at a rate of $100 over the twelve year
period. Similarly, non-resident senior pricing has remained static over the same period of time as
well. During the 2018 Cost Study, fees for senior residents increased 8% and school district resident
and non-resident senior prices increased by 9%. This was the first increase to senior prices in over
a decade, resulting in an increase to residents in the amount of $25, and a $20 increase to school
district residents and non-residents. These fees went into effect in January of 2019. Senior fees
are currently one of Recreation Services' largest opportunities to generate revenue across its
programs, with seniors making up a large percentage of the Dublin population and DCRC user type.
Memo re: Amending Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances
November 13, 2020
Page 4 of 7
In 2019, senior passes made up the majority of DCRC passes sold, comprising 37.2% of total
memberships that year. Absent of daily pass types, seniors are also the largest revenue generating
membership offered by the DCRC. Not only are senior passes one of the most profitable
memberships, seniors also use the DCRC facility more than any other pass holder, although pricing
on these memberships lag behind many other communities when comparing all three resident types
as shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3. Additionally, in 2019, staff was tasked with ensuring large increases
were not requested in any single year, and instead incremental changes to Recreation's fees are to
be requested more frequently to update rates as costs continue to trend upward. The graph below
shows the change in senior prices dating back to 2005 along with proposed 2021 rates, which are
10% above established fee levels from 2019.

Outdoor Pool Passes
Tables 4, 5 and 6 display 2020 outdoor pool rates for membership price comparisons using
information surveyed and compiled by Recreation Services, benchmarking the City of Dublin against
five local municipalities, all of which are located within Franklin County. The tables detail the
difference in price between Dublin outdoor pool rates and the prices of similar membership and pass
types in the neighboring communities. Negative figures highlighted in red depict pass types that are
more expensive by dollar amount in the surrounding municipalities. Positive values highlighted in

same price listed at $145. All other resident outdoor pool pass types — for a household of 3, 4, 5+
and seniors — are higher in Dublin compared to Hilliard. Dublin's outdoor pool passes are cheaper
across all resident pass types compared to Gahanna and Worthington by $40 or more. Westerville
and Grove City's resident pool passes for all pass types priced lower than the rates currently offered
in Dublin, making Dublin's pool admission fees more expensive when benchmarked against these
two communities.

with Worthington rates being higher across households of 3, 4 and 5+. Although non-resident prices
are typically higher in Dublin, these passes experienced the lowest number of memberships in 2019
since it is more cost-effective to obtain a resident pass in one's own community as it is usually closer
in proximity.

Impounded/Abandoned Vehicle Release (1130-02)
The current fee for the release of an impounded or abandoned vehicle in Dublin is $120. This fee
is paid directly to the City before a vehicle owner is able to retrieve their vehicle from the impound
yard to which it was towed. The impound yard is not part of the City service. A separate towing
and storage fee is charged by an independent vendor that is separate from the City's fee. Reasons
that a vehicle may be impounded: intoxicated driver (CMVI); safety issue; expired tags, or vehicle
abandonment. Fees are not levied for an auto accident or victim of crime. The proposed fee for
2021 covers the cost of Police, Dispatcher, and administrative fully -burdened costs in providing this
service.
When compared to other municipalities, many police departments do not collect a fee to release
vehicles back to the owner. Worthington, Powell and other municipalities contract for services,
utilizing a rotating list of towing companies to coordinate these services, effectively asking the
taxpayer to subsidize the service. Compared to the list below, Dublin is the only municipality that
charges an impounded/abandoned vehicle release fee in addition to the towing charges that are
remitted directly to the tow company. Dublin's fee is proposed to increase to $130 in 2021.

Re: Development Fee Structure Analysis
Background
Memo
As a result of inquiries regarding the cost of development in the City of Dublin, the Office of the
City Manager compiled a list of our Building Standards, Engineering, and Planning fees as well
as those of municipalities throughout the region for comparison. In order to standardize the
analysis across the different fee structures and zoning codes, staff chose a 17,642 square foot
commercial office building in the Camden Professional Center as the model commercial
development for comparison. Per the guidance of the City Manager and the Economic
Development Director, Staff compared Dublin's fees to those of the municipalities that the City
commonly competes against in attracting commercial development, including Columbus,
Westerville, New Albany, Delaware, Marysville, Worthington, and Hilliard. To ensure the
accuracy of this analysis, staff collaborated with our internal Building Standards and Planning
and Zoning divisions, as well as with Building Standards and Planning staff of several of the
municipalities listed. The analysis is provided alongside some contextual information presented
below.
Building Standards Fee Structures
When looking at just Building Standards fees, the City of Columbus is the most expensive
municipality to develop within. This is largely carried by Columbus' charges for additional
inspections. While the City of Dublin bundles the price of inspection into the cost of each permit,
the City of Columbus provides a limited number of inspections per permit and charges $150 per
additional inspection required (Figure 8.). In the case of the Camden Building, the City of Dublin
provided a total of 92 inspections under the issued permits. If this process were to be conducted
within Columbus, only 12 of those 92 inspections would be covered, requiring the developer to
pay $12,000 for the remaining 80 inspections. The City of Columbus also charges for Foundation
Start permits, resulting in an additional $7,106 in Building Standards fees not found in the City
of Dublin's fee structure (Figure 8.). In total, the City of Columbus would charge a developer
$30,667 for the permits and inspections associated with the approval of a 17,642 square foot
office building (Figure 8.). This results in the City of Columbus charging over twice as much for
Building Standards permits as the City of Dublin would charge the same development.
Development Fee Structure Analysis
11.16.20
Page 2 of 11
The City of Dublin and Westerville's Building Standards fee structures are relatively similar in
their totals. They are the second and third most expensive Building Standard fee structure,
respectively. The City of Dublin's total of $14,469 is largely carried by the cost of the general
new build permit and inspection and the cost of commercial plan review (Figure 8.). Similarly,
the City of Westerville's total of $13,825 can be attributed to the City's new build permit, the
cost of plan review two, and the fees associated with revisions (Figure 8.). Additionally,
Westerville charges a foundation start fee of $1,300, while Dublin does not (Figure 8.).
The totals of the Building Standards fee structures of the City of New Albany, Delaware,
Worthington, and Marysville all come in around half of what Dublin and Westerville charge.
Across the board, these Building Standards fee structures are significantly cheaper, and in some
cases, do not charge for certain services they provide. As a result, these municipalities are
unlikely to recover operational costs associated with service provision. For example, the City of
Worthington is only able to cover one-third of its operational costs through its current fee
structure. In comparison, the City of Dublin's Building Standards fee structure recovered 79.6
percent of the cost associated with service provision in 2018. Therefore, these cities are likely
utilizing general fund revenues to subsidize the operation and service provision related to their
Building Standards departments. Consequentially, the City of Worthington and New Albany
reports that they are currently undergoing an internal review of their fee structures and are
contemplating increasing their fees in an effort to recover a larger percentage of their costs.
This is likely the case in Hilliard as well. Although Hilliard has the cheapest Building Standards
fee structure with a total of $4,354, it is highly unlikely that they are able to recover the costs
associated with providing services (Figure 8.).
Engineering Fee Structures
The burden of Engineering fees is largely dependent on the cost of water and sewer capacity
charges. Cities included in this comparison fall into one of two camps. Columbus, Marysville, and
Delaware run their municipal water and sewer services, while Dublin, New Albany,
Worthington, and Hilliard contract with Columbus for their services. This results in Dublin, New
Albany, and Hilliard operating within a layered fee structure. A developer connecting their
building to the water and sewer taps within these communities pays both fees associated with
the city they are developing within and the City of Columbus' (Figure 4.). Despite contracting
with the City of Columbus, Worthington does not charge water and sewer capacity fees.
Developments within Worthington city limits are only responsible for paying the City of
Columbus (Figure 9.).
Due to the layered fee structure, the City of Dublin has the third most expensive Engineering fee
structure, with Marysville and Hilliard coming in first and second (Figure 2.). Despite not having
a layered fee structure, the City of Marysville and Westerville are still incredibly expensive, likely
due to the costs associated with owning and operating a municipal sewer and water system
(Figure 9.). The City of Columbus and Delaware are both able to keep costs down despite
owning such a system (Figure 9.). Additionally, Delaware charges are dependent on annual
usage, while all other municipalities observed in this study charge flat fees dependent on the
size of the development's tap. To calculate Delaware's fees, staff utilized an estimated yearly
average for an office building of the same size as the model Camden building. Therefore, this
figure may be higher or lower, depending on the actual average usage rates.
Development Fee Structure Analysis
11.16.20
Page 3 of 11
Planning and Zoning Fee Structure
The City of Dublin has the highest Planning and Zoning fees of any of the municipalities included
in this comparison (Figure 4). However, it is essential to note that this results from the time and
effort put into Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) by the Planning and Zoning, Building
Standards, and Engineering departments. The City of Dublin provides developers three tracts for
zoning approval. PUDs serve as the most flexible tract, allowing developers to work with staff
and city commissions to gain the approval of customized site plans defined by design aspects
that are typically not aligned with the City's zoning code. Therefore, fees levied by the City of
Dublin for PUD developments are significantly higher than other tracts offered by Planning and
Zoning department (Figure 12.). The Hybrid Tract allows developers to customize their site
plans within the general restrictions of a special zoning district. This tract is not as expensive as
Planned Unit Developments due to the reduced burden of review on staff (Figure 12.). Lastly,
the Straight Tract provides little to no flexibility in the zoning code to developers. Due to the
uniform nature of the site plans, developers are not required to pay Planning and Zoning fees,
and site plans are subsequently sent to Building Standards for approval.
The Camden Office building used as a model in this analysis varied greatly from the city's design
requirements. Therefore, they must gain approval through a concept plan, preliminary
development plan, and final development plan review. Although the Camden Office Park
developers participated in this process, it is essential to note that this is not the only tract
developers experience when developing within the City of Dublin. Similarly to the PUD Tract, the
City of Dublin's Hybrid Tract generates the most expensive municipalities' planning fees in the
comparison (Figure 5.). However, they are generally more in line with what other municipalities
are charging. Lastly, the City of Dublin is the cheapest municipality for developers participating
in the Straight Tract (Figure 6.). While other municipalities charge a base fee regardless of the
development type, the City of Dublin fast -tracts these developments through the process and
does not charge.
Findings & Conclusions
Ultimately, the City of Marysville is the most expensive municipality to develop within, with a
total cost of $241,212 (Figure 1.). Despite having one of the lowest Building Standards fee
structures, Marysville's water and sewer tap charges far outpace other municipalities in the
region and, therefore, elevates the city to the number one spot.
Mainly due to their layered water and sewer fee structures, Dublin and Hilliard are the second
and third most expensive municipalities to develop within, totaling $152,526 and $142,558,
respectively (Figure 1.). These totals equate to roughly eight dollars per square foot. However, if
you isolate these fee schedules from the burden of Columbus water and sewer fees, Dublin and
Hilliard fall to the fourth and fifth most expensive municipalities to develop within (Figure 3.).
Although the City of Westerville's Building Standard fee schedule is roughly $7,000 more
expensive than New Albany's, Westerville is cheaper to develop due to its water and sewer tap
fees. In aggregate, New Albany is the fourth most costly municipality to develop within, with a
total cost of $130,733 (Figure 1.). Subsequently, Westerville is the fifth most expensive
municipality to develop, with a total cost of $129,067 (Figure 1.).
Development Fee Structure Analysis
11.16.20
Page 4 of 11
Despite having the most expensive Building Standards fee schedule, the City of Columbus is the
sixth most expensive municipality to develop, with a total cost of $92,150 (Figure 1.). This can
be attributed to the reduction of the expenses associated with not having a dual -layered fee
structure. After removing the contracting municipalities' dual -layered fee structure, the City of
Columbus climbs to the third most expensive municipality to develop within. Additionally, the
City of Columbus has the second least costly Planning and Zoning Fee Schedule.
Worthington is the seventh most expensive municipality to develop within due to its incredibly
inexpensive Building Standards fee schedule. Worthington's total cost equaled $67,725 (Figure
1.). This can also be attributed to the city opting out of charging for water and sewer tap
connectivity on top of what the City of Columbus charges. For this reason, if you remove the
Columbus water and sewer fees from the contracting municipalities' fee schedules, Worthington
is the least expensive municipality to develop within (Figure 3.). Additionally, Worthington has
the least costly Planning and Zoning Fee Structure. Again, Worthington officials cite the lack of
fiscal sustainability as a concern and are moving forward with increasing their fees in 2021.
Similarly, the City of Delaware is the least expensive community to develop within due to the
savings associated with their water and tap fee structure and their relatively inexpensive
Building Standards fee structure. Delaware's total costs calculate to $45,530 (Figure 1.).

Memo
Re: Ordinance No. 45-20 — An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the
Codified Ordinances to Revise the Fee and Service Charge Revenue/
Cost Comparison System and Establishing a Schedule of Fees and
Service Charges for City of Dublin Services
Background
Attached is Ordinance No. 45-20, which revises the Schedule of Fees and Service Charges for the
City of Dublin. This Ordinance, with its proposed fee schedule, is the annual update to Chapter 35
of the City's Codified Ordinances that revises the current "City's Schedule of Fees and Service
Charges for City of Dublin Services" based on the results of the Cost of Services Study. Proposed
changes for 2021 are highlighted in yellow in Appendix A. Also attached are the "Fee Comparison
Recap Worksheets." These recaps show the approved fees from the past five years and the
proposed fees for 2021 for each City Work Unit.
The goal of the annual review of service fees is to provide information regarding the full business
cost to provide the City's services. With that information, City Council may choose to increase,
reduce or modify the proposed fees in consideration of the established target cost recoveries. As
you will recall, beginning with the 2014 fee schedule, a plan was established and approved to forgo
the comprehensive annual Cost of Services Study review every other year and instead apply an
inflationary measure. Building on the 2019 cost study, the US Midwest CPI -U of 1.4% was applied
to the per-unit cost to determine fees for 2020. To determine fees for 2021, a comprehensive Cost
of Services Study review was conducted. Each City Work Unit has reviewed the proposed fee
modifications in the Ordinance.
A few notable fee changes are discussed below. Please see Appendix A of the Ordinance for all
proposed fee changes.
Building Standards Division
In 2020, as part of the fee update process, Building Standards conducted a thorough assessment of
their services and fees to update information on staff time and position allocations assigned to each
service for the purpose of performing the fee study analysis. Accordingly, the recommended fee
level for some services has risen due to this comprehensive evaluation. This update more accurately
reflects the real costs of providing each service to the public and business community, as well as
operating the Building Standards Division. Increases to applicable fees are outlined in the Fee
Comparison Recap Worksheets and Appendix A. Staff recommends the following review services and
permit types be modified as follows:
Memo re: Amending Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances
November 3, 2020
Page 2 of 4
• Fire Protection System Review (BL -13) —The major rate component of this fee is not charged
by Building Standards staff and only the minor rate is used when assessing fees to customers.
Staff recommends modifying this service to remove the major component from the fee
schedule.
• Building Permit Reactivation (BL -27) — This service is no longer provided. The applicant is
now required to submit for a new permit. Staff recommends the removal of this fee.
Range Hood Permit (BL -35) — When an applicant has a building permit under review, Building
Standards does not charge an additional fee to review range hoods. The permit fee is only
charged when range hoods are reviewed separately. Staff recommends modifying the fee
structure to eliminate this charge as a subcomponent of the service, charging applicants
when a Range Hood Permit is the only service under review.
Planning Division
Since the adoption of the 2020 fee list, Planning staff has highlighted inconsistencies in the Parking
Plan Review fee (PL -57) compared to other similar review processes, specifically the staff time and
work involved with a Minor Project Review (PL -52).
Additionally, Planning staff has processed several requests for Master Sign Plan Reviews (PL -56) in
the Historic District, with a majority of these requests being minor in nature due to the unique
development pattern and architectural character of historic structures. The Master Sign Plan Review
currently places an undue burden on small businesses.
Staff recommends the following two application types be modified as follows
• Parking Plan Review (PL -57) — Change fee level to align with the Minor Project Review (PL -
52), as both review processes require similar staff time and functions.
• Master Sign Plan Review (PL -56) — No fee charged in the Historic District.
Police Department
Impound/Abandoned Vehicle Release (PO -02)
An increase is being proposed to the Impound and Abandoned Vehicle Fee (with the exception for
those who are victimized due to crime). The proposal includes a $10 increase, resulting in a fee
recommendation of $130. Law enforcement and Records staff time is required to perform this
service, which includes various activities such as the inventory of vehicle items, coordinating towing
services, etc. The last increase to impounded and abandoned vehicles was in 2015. An increase is
being proposed as staff costs have increased over time, in addition to changes made to the
collection method of payments.
Public Works Department
Fleet — Fuel Surcharge (PW -10)
An increase to the fueling surcharge for gasoline and diesel is proposed. The proposal includes a
one cent increase per gallon, resulting in a fee recommendation of $.13 per gallon. Dublin City
Schools and Washington Township purchased 268,692 and 37,484 gallons of gasoline in 2019,
respectively. Based on 2019 usage levels, the Schools' annual fuel cost will increase by approximately
$2,687 and the Township's by $375.
Memo re: Amending Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances
November 3, 2020
Page 3 of 4
Street and Utilities - Salt Surcharae (PW -11
An increase to the salt surcharge is proposed. The proposal includes a $.15 per ton increase to salt
resulting in a fee recommendation of $1.93 per ton. Street salt is currently purchased under state
contract and is sold to the City at the lowest price available. This fee was last increased during the
2018 fee study (by one cent) and has seen similar incremental changes every other year to slightly
adjust for operating costs associated with acquiring and providing salt to neighboring organizations.
In 2019, the City of Dublin sold a total of 238 tons of salt to Washington Township, Dublin City
Schools and Shawnee Hills. Based on 2019 usage levels, the Township's annual salt cost will increase
by approximately $2, Dublin City Schools by $30 and Shawnee Hills by $4.
Fleet - Washington Township Fleet Maintenance (PW -12)
Resolution 03-13, which was approved by City Council on January 28, 2013, authorized the City
Manager to enter into a service agreement with Washington Township to provide certain fleet
services. Broadly, the agreement outlined that Washington Township would be charged the fully
burdened hourly rate for labor and specified there would be a 5% mark-up on parts to offset the
portion of costs associated with the City's in-house NAPA store. As the fully burdened hourly rate of
employees involved in providing Washington Township services under this agreement has increased,
it is proposed that the charge to the Township for labor should increase as well. For 2021, the
contractual labor rate is proposed to increase by $10 per hour to $120. Washington Township utilized
144 hours of labor in 2019.
Recreation Services Division
Deposits
Staff is recommending the temporary elimination of the collection of deposits for the rental of City
facilities. It has been determined that the costs associated with administering deposits are
substantial, as the City personnel time involved in the various collection and refund efforts outweigh
the need to secure and hold deposits, since the funds are seldom retained for the cause of damage
to City rented property. A pilot program will be established to suspend deposit activity for a time
period of one year. At the end of the trial, the results and findings of the temporary suspension will
be presented to City Council for additional review. An accompanying memo fully addressing the cost -
benefit details of the deposit elimination program and related administrative changes noted in
Appendix A are included as a part of this ordinance.
DCRC Passes
Recreation Services staff is proposing increases to DCRC memberships and daily rate passes in 2021.
DCRC fees were increased by 5% across all annual pass types, with the exception of senior pricing.
Senior passes were increased by 10% compared to 2019 rates. The rate increase is supported by
the research and benchmark analysis conducted by Recreation Services, which shows that Dublin's
senior rates are significantly lower than many peer municipalities in the surrounding area. This is
primarily a result of active seniors' ability to accommodate the pricing structure on these
memberships. Historically, resident and nonresident senior passes remained stagnant with no
change among the two pass types since 2006, with the first price adjustment in a twelve-year
timeframe implemented in 2019. The proposed increase will generate more revenue, as senior
passes comprise a large share of DCRC overall pass holders, while continuing to maintain
Memo re: Amending Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances
November 3, 2020
Page 4 of 4
competitiveness and lower rates in the market as surveyed against local communities. The proposed
increase to senior prices amount to a $5 increase to resident passes and a $10 increase to the school
district and nonresident senior pass types that are currently offered. The revenue that will be
generated from changes to annual DCRC membership prices will approximately result in an additional
$70,000 based upon 2019 volume. Respectively, daily admission passes will produce about $45,000
more considering the proposed rates. Collectively, DCRC passes would yield a total $115,000 in
revenue above current fee levels.
Outdoor Pool Passes
Staff is proposing an increase to outdoor pool pass rates for 2021. The major renovation project to
re -construct the Dublin Community Pool North began in 2020 and is currently underway, providing
a new outdoor facility with many upgraded amenities for pass holders and guests when the pool
opens to the public during the upcoming 2021 season. Upgraded facilities include a new swimming
pool, 50m lap pool, splash pad, slides, tot pool and other improvements to on-site buildings that will
enhance the overall aesthetic of the facility in comparison to its original design constructed 30 years
ago. The updates and enhancements expended on the community pool will be complemented by
the recommended increase to outdoor pool fees and membership pricing. Also, the reintroduction of
school district resident pricing has been added as another membership option provided by the DCRC.
The revenue that would be generated from the changes to outdoor pool rates for daily passes results
in an additional $15,000 based upon the number of passes sold in 2019. Annual passes would
produce an additional $32,000 if the same amount of season passes sold in 2019 are purchased in
2021, for a total of $47,000 more in revenue generated from the sale of outdoor pool passes.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the approval of Ordinance No. 45-20 at the second reading/public hearing on
November 16, 2020. Fees will become effective on January 1, 2021.

Date: November 3, 2020
Initiated By: Matthew L. Stiffler, Director of Finance
Jerry O'Brien, Chief Accountant
Re: Pilot Program Eliminating the Collection of Deposits for Recreation Services
Program Rentals for One Year
Summary
The Recreation Services and Events Administration divisions rent various rooms and outside
locations to customers. Venues are booked in advance and, in addition to the rental fee, a deposit
fee is charged to the resident to secure the rental. The deposit is refunded to the customer after
the event provided there were no damages to City property and the customer abided by the terms
of the rental contract. After careful consideration, staff believes the cost to the City of collecting,
accounting for, and refunding the deposits far outweighs the potential benefit of collecting them.
The administrative costs to the City of collecting and refunding deposits are significant. Employees
within the Recreation Center and the Events Administration division are involved in the scheduling,
collection, recording, and also the refunding of deposits. Staff members submit the collection and
refund information to the Finance Department.
When there are issues, such as returned or uncashed checks, staff spends time assisting the
Finance Department with researching and providing information to help resolve the issues. Refund
checks issued to corporate customers are sometimes returned to the City uncashed because the
check is issued to the person that made the reservation rather than the company. Sometimes,
customers move and do not notify the Recreation Center of their address change. When checks
remain uncashed and are not returned to the City, it often results in voiding and reissuing the
checks. When checks are voided and reissued, a stop pay on the original check is processed by the
bank, which costs the City a fee. This process also involves significant time of Finance staff.
There are several employees in the Finance Department involved in the process of recording the
deposits, reconciling the deposit file, issuing refund checks, and reporting the deposits separately
in the annual financial report. A manual file of each deposits is maintained by the Accounting
Specialist and a spreadsheet is maintained by the Accountant and reconciled with the general
ledger each month. Due to the maintenance of this large file, steps beyond what are necessary for
regular receipts must be taken when the deposits are received by the Finance Department.
Updating the file of deposits and performing the reconciliation are necessary to ensure that an
accurate list of deposits is maintained which matches the amounts recorded in the general ledger.
The open deposits are reviewed on a regular basis with Finance and Recreation Center staff.
Memo re. Deposits Collected for Recreation Center Rentals
November 3, 2020
Page 2 of 2
Another factor complicating the process of tracking deposits is that it is common for customers to
change the date of events. These changes must be tracked by the Recreation Center staff and
Finance to ensure accurate records are maintained.
Below is an estimate of the costs for staff to collect, record, and refund deposits:
Total Cost Total Cost
Position Hours/week Per Week Weeks Per Year
Accountant 2.00 $184.30 52 $9,583.57
Accounting Specialist 2.00 $148.82 52 $7,738.71

Recreation Services Admin 1.00 $94.40 52 $4,908.75
Event Coordinator 3.00 $217.27 52 $11,298.15
Recreation Operating Specialist 3.00 $209.36 52 $10,886.69
Event Administrator 1.00 $112.08 52 $5,827.93
Recreation Operating Supervisor 0.50 $35.96 52 $1,869.88
17.25 $1,370.10 $71,245.07
Postage $198.00
$71,443.07
There are many customers who book reservations for other people, so oftentimes one central
booking person may have several deposits on file. They repeatedly ask Recreation staff if they can
just make one deposit for all of their events. However, it is easier for staff to track deposits by
event, since that is how the fees are charged. This can leave our 'regular' renters out several
hundred to thousands of dollars in deposits.
The original intent of holding deposits was to discourage damage to City facilities. This process
was started decades ago. However, rarely are deposits kept because of damages. Moreover, the
rental agreements signed by customers contain a clause stating that the customer is responsible
for any damages incurred during the event. This gives the City a basis for pursuing legal action
against the responsible party should substantial damage be inflicted upon City property. Also, a
Manager on Duty (City employee) is always present at an event
A secondary benefit of collecting deposits was that the City could keep part or all of the deposit in
the case of a late cancellation. However, the proposed process will require the customer to pay the
rental fees at the time of reservation so that in the case of a late cancellation, a fee may be
withheld from the refund of the rental fee. The City will reserve the ability to collect an
administrative fee in the event of a late cancellation without holding a deposit.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the suspension of the collection of deposits for the rental of City facilities for the
period of one year. At the end of the trial elimination period, staff would present the results of the
temporary suspension to Council for further consideration.
