Committee debates whether high‑demand Camp Sky should be reclassified in cost‑recovery framework
Summary
Committee members said Camp Sky's high cost‑recovery and waitlists justify moving it toward a more individual/fee‑driven category; staff said classification will be revisited and staff will flag programs suggested for reclassification in the board packet.
Committee members highlighted Camp Sky as an example of a program that may not fit a community‑benefit classification because of volume, waitlists and high cost recovery. "So the Camp Sky is a more individual benefit," one member said during the discussion, urging staff to consider moving it higher in the pyramid to align pricing and capacity decisions with demand.
Staff responded that program classification choices should balance access with revenue goals and noted that Camp Sky’s high recovery helps subsidize other programs. They said staff will flag programs recommended for reclassification and present those changes with supporting post‑program financials to the board. The committee did not make a formal decision but directed staff to return with updated slides and program annotations in the board packet.
