Summary

Staff told the board the administrative regulation (AR) implementing Board Policy KG has not been updated since 2018; custodial and staffing rates understate actual costs and the district will bring an updated AR with revised rates to the September meeting.

District staff reviewed Board Policy KG and said the administrative regulation (AR) that implements the policy — including the facility fee schedule — has not been updated in several years. Staff cited examples showing published custodial rates of $25 an hour on the AR while current incurred staffing costs are closer to $65 an hour. "This room itself is $5 per hour," the presenter said as an example of published rates that do not cover electricity or staffing.

Staff said aggregate facility-use revenues over the last three years were about $50,000 less than the costs of staffing and utilities and recommended the board receive an updated AR and adjusted fee schedule at the September meeting. Members raised potential consequences for longstanding partnerships and asked staff to try to locate any prior grandfathered agreements with the city.
