Cost of Service Methodology Update - Project Details
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Provide the project details to City Council regarding the Parks and Recreation Department's update to the 2017/18 Cost of Service Methodology that was adopted by the City Council in January 2018.

The department will be working again with GreenPlay, LLC., the consultant who provided direction and support with our original methodology creation, to perform this review and update.
