cost recovery. Full cost recovery includes direct labor costs (salary and benefits), allocated <br />cost of supervision, pro -rata departmental management costs, City-wide overhead <br />allocation, and physical facility or equipment hourly costs. This does not include criminal <br />activities for which there are other penalties. <br />4. Services clearly required by the payee which the City would not otherwise be required <br />to perform. <br />These include most of category 3 above as well as most Planning, Engineering, and <br />Building department activities which are focused on a single transaction or incident. Not <br />included in this category are Police activities with criminal penalties. This would include <br />copying costs when the nature of the transaction fits this description. All accidents <br />resulting in harm to City property would fall into this category. <br />S. Services which are supportive of general City service policies, but require out-of-pocket <br />expenses by the City for the benefit of the participating individuals. <br />Many recreation activities would fall into this category. It is the general policy of the City for <br />these activities to pay for their out-of-pocket costs, including any City overtime involved, but <br />not to be charged for the otherwise allocable overhead costs, indirect supervision time, or a <br />pro -rata share of the facility being used. If the activities being offered preclude (or <br />collectively preclude) the facility being available for general purpose use (such as swim <br />classes vs. general "open pool" hours), a pro- rata share of facility costs may be assigned with <br />consent of the Council. This category would also include copying costs in support of such <br />programs. <br />6. Normal City services supporting all inhabitants. <br />The City performs a host of functions, from street maintenance to fire fighting to law <br />enforcement as part of its services to all persons and property within the City limits. These <br />general services are funded through a variety of taxing mechanisms and should not be <br />funded by a fee for service. The key test for this type of service is that it is applied to all <br />persons and property equally, not to a restricted subset of the population. Programs which <br />are specifically tax or grant funded for a specific subset of the population (such as senior <br />citizens) are also included in this category. <br />Exhibit I summarizes these categories and the fee rules associated with each. <br />218 <br />
