Council adopts RPCA resource‑allocation policy; fee changes slated for FY28

Jun 23, 2026

Council approved an update to RPCA’s resource allocation and cost‑recovery policy — the first update since 2019 — which reclassifies service tiers, introduces categories for vulnerable communities and partners, and targets greater alternative funding for outreach programs; staff said any fee changes would take effect in FY28 and affiliate policy updates will follow in the fall.

The full story

The council voted to adopt a revised resource allocation and cost‑recovery policy for Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities (RPCA) after a staff presentation and council discussion on equity and affiliate impacts. Director Hodgman Taylor said the policy has not been updated since 2019 and that community engagement (more than 500 survey responses and multiple public sessions) informed new tier placements and service categories.
