Board delays facility-rate hike; asks staff to return with modest CPI model
Summary
After discussion about lost rental revenue and community demand, the board declined an immediate large increase and directed staff to present a modest (2%) model in September and a combined CPI review in spring.
Staff member reviewed recent facility-rate decisions and said a prior 10% rate increase coincided with a loss of some user groups and about a $9,000 revenue decline. "We did increase the rates last year, and we did actually lose participants and reduced our amount of money in the, facilities rates by about 9,000," the staff member said.
Board members discussed options including incremental annual CPI adjustments rather than a single large increase. Several members said they preferred smaller, predictable increases and asked staff to return with a 2% model in September and a combined CPI-driven schedule for review in the spring. The board approved the motion to have staff prepare the 2% model and to include facilities rates in the district's annual review cycle.
