AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Stephanie Anderson, Recreation Services Manager
DATE: 12/18/2024 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Recreation Programs Cost Recovery Summary for Fiscal
Year (FY) 2023/24
BACKGROUND
On January 18, 2012, the City Council approved the Recreation Programs and Services
Cost Recovery Policy (Policy). The Policy was revised in 2016 to include Active Adult
Center programs and was renamed “Recreation and Active Adult Programs and Services
Cost Recovery Policy.” The purpose of this Policy is to determine the extent to which the
General Fund will subsidize programs, provide direction in calculating program fees and
establishing revenue sources, establish a process to recover the designated por tion of
program costs, and to provide a framework for modifying programs that do not meet the
minimum cost recovery requirement.
The Policy defines costs, revenue sources, program categories, and recovery levels.
Costs are divided into direct costs and indirect costs. Direct costs are those costs which
would not exist without the program and include budget line-item costs and part-time staff
costs. Indirect costs are those costs which would still largely exist even if a specific
program were eliminated. These include full-time staff costs and Recreation Division
overhead costs. Revenue sources may include user fees, vendor fees, grants,
advertising fees, and sponsorships.
Each program is assigned a program category based on factors including type, purpose,
and program structure. Program categories are placed into a recovery level. There are
five recovery levels, ranging from level 1 to level 5. Program categories assigned to
level 1 are primarily community benefit, and have the highest subsidy. Program
categories assigned to level 5 have primarily individual benefit and have the lowest
subsidy.
The Policy establishes both the minimum and target cost recovery requirements for each
program category. Both the minimum and target amounts are noted in the cost recovery
summaries in this report. Cost recovery percentages are calculated by first applying
program revenue to direct costs. The recovery percentage is calculated by dividing
184
Honorable City Council
12/18/2024 Regular Meeting
Page 2
revenue by direct costs. To calculate the recovery percentage for indirect costs, the gross
profit must be determined. Gross profit is determined by subtracting direct costs from the
revenue. If the gross profit is zero or negative, then 0% of indirect costs have been
recovered. If gross profit is positive, the percent of indirect costs recovered is calculated
by dividing the gross profit by the total indirect costs (full-time staff costs plus overhead
costs). Below is the chart showing recovery levels required for each program category.
Programs that are unable to meet the minimum cost recovery will be reviewed for
consideration of appropriate action, including restructuring or eliminating the program.
The City Manager is authorized to exclude individual programs from the requirements of
the Policy. The Policy requires annual reporting to the Parks and Recreation Commission
and City Council, including whether programs met their cost recovery goals.
DISCUSSION
This report serves as a financial summary of Recreation Division programs for the Fiscal
Year 2023/24. The seasons included are summer 2023 (June through August), fall 2023
(September through November), winter 2024 (December through February), and spring
2024 (March through May). This report includes only those programs operated by the
Recreation Division. It does not include Active Adult Center programs or City co -
sponsored events, including Country Days, Holiday on High Street, Moorpark Has Talent,
and the Apricot Festival.
Included in this report are brief narratives for each program; financial summaries for each
program, including comparison figures from the prior two fiscal years; a summary listing
of programs based on their status of meeting cost recovery goals; and staff recommended
action plans for those programs not meeting their minimum recovery goals. All figures in
this report are rounded to the nearest dollar. It should be noted that full-time staff costs
associated with non-recreation related activity (such as assisting other departments with
their projects), paid breaks, and annual leave are not included in these calculations.

SUMMARY TABLES
While there is no minimum cost recovery requirement for the Recreation Division as a
whole, it is useful to consider the performance of the Recreation Division as a whole. It
should be noted that these tables do not include unallocated costs, such as full-time staff
costs associated with breaks, leave time, and working on projects not associated with
Recreation, or facility costs for hours that facilities are unused. The following tables
summarize the Recreation Division programs performance.

CAMP MOORPARK
Camp Moorpark is a day camp program for children ages 5 to
12. The program offers weekly/daily themed activities
including sports, games, crafts, STEM, special events, parties,
special guests, movies, and during the summer, field trips.
Structured activities are held from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,
with extended care available from 7:00 a.m. (summer) or 8:00
a.m. (school year) to 6:00 p.m. Camp is held at the Arroyo
Vista Recreation Center and utilizes both the indoor facility
and the various amenities available at AVCP. The program
allows parents to sign up for full weeks or individual days. Fees started at $228/week or
$52/day. Summer 2023 was very successful. Summer camp enrollment continued to see
an upward trend, with a record breaking average daily attendance of 120 in 2023,
compared to 105.9 in 2022, 90.9 in 2021, 57.7 in 2020, 71.3 in 2019, and 64.1 in 2018.
With increasing camp attendance, recruiting a sufficient number of seasonal staff for the
summer program continues to be a challenge.

younger students who are not eligible for public Pre-K. This
year the program featured classes for toddlers on Monday and
Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday (Caterpillar Class), a 3-
year-old class on Tuesday and Thursday (Butterfly Class), and
a 3-year-old class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
(Bumblebee Class).
The 2023/24 school season started after Labor Day in September and ran through
May 23. Monthly tuition was $275 for toddlers, $360 for the Tu/Th 3-year-old class, and
$450 for the M/W/F 3-year-old class. Overall enrollment increased this year, with the
program filling to 93% capacity. Participants continue to be happy with the quality of the

MOORPARK RUNNING CLUB
The Moorpark Running Club was offered during the winter 2024
season at the AVCP Recreational Trail. The program was
coached by a volunteer (Scott Mangers, the Moorpark High
School track coach). The program’s purpose is to promote

weekly for four weeks with the goal of running a distance
equivalent to a half-marathon. As participants met distance
goals, they received rewards, including gift certificates donated
by local businesses. The registration fee was $10. Participants
were also offered a discount on registration to the annual
Groundhog Day run, held at Moorpark High School.

Staff Recommended Action for this Program to Meet Cost Recovery:
The City’s softball league has not been able to
meet its minimum cost recovery requirement due
to a decline in team enrollment that began in
FY 2013/14. Although the program did not meet
its minimum again this year, enrollment and cost
recovery continues to trend upward, as shown in
the graph. Staff recommends continuing efforts
to increase league enrollment, reduce costs
where feasible, and add more sports
programming to continue to help defray full-time staff costs.
ADULT BASKETBALL LEAGUES
The Adult Basketball League offers open divisions on Monday and Thursday evenings,
with games played at the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center Gym. League fees ranged from
$350 to $425 per team, based on length of season and registration date. Official’s fees
are paid directly to officials by the teams.
Although participation increased compared to last year, like softball, enrollment has not
quite returned to pre-pandemic levels.
