Title
Fee Modification Report for 2021
Title
The Board of Park Commissioners approved File# 49380 “Authorizing the Parks Superintendent to Approve Fee Modifications for Use of Parks Space” in October 2017.
Fee modifications for events and uses that do not fit within the standard fee structures may be approved by the Parks Superintendent and can allow the Parks Division to respond to the needs of park users in a timely, practical manner. Situations where fee modifications may be used include:
• Legacy user groups that predate the establishment of a new fee and have mitigating circumstances that need to be addressed with a fee modification.
• A pilot concept for a use that would have minimal impact, only occur at one park location and does not have an established fee in the Park Division fee schedule.
• Uses that align with the citywide goal of Racial Equity and Social Justice.
Fee modifications are developed by staff and must meet a number of requirements as defined in this action, and in some situations may be required to be reviewed by Board of Park Commissioners prior to implementation. The Parks Superintendent is required to provide an annual report to the Board of Park Commissioners on all fee modifications.
