Hensley, City Aft By: Karl H. lNerger Assistant City Attorney M EXHIBIT A FEE SCHEDULE Recreation & Parks Department Fees Current Fee Proposed Fee Justification for Increase Swimnastics Drop -In Program: Non - Resident Fee $1.00 $3.00 Swimnastics is an instructional program per occurrence per occurrence three times per week which requires one hour of staff time from each of the following: one Senior Lifeguard on duty ($17.56 /hr), two Lifeguards for instruction ($13.73/hr x 2), and one Cashier for cash handling duties ($9.92/hr). Total staffing costs per session equal $54.94 in salaries. Other indirect costs include facility operations, equipment, and supplies, the Pool Technician, and employee benefits. The class is offered at no -cost to El Segundo Residents, therefore yielding no cost recovery. The program typically includes 15 -20 Non - Resident Participants. An increased fee to $3 is to recover a portion of the cost associated with staffing to administer and facilitate the program. Fifteen participants at $3 per session yield a cost recovery of $45, or 82 %, of part-time employee salaries.
