The Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department (PRNS) offers a wide variety of facilities, programs, and services including parks, aquatics, sports, therapeutics, youth/senior programs, graffiti abatement and volunteer services.  PRNS, which is primarily supported by the General Fund, offsets its costs with a variety of revenue including fees, reimbursements and grants.  In the Fees and Charges report, PRNS’ $12.4 million in fees reflect a 97.4% cost-recovery rate for 2010-2011 compared to 90.2% in fiscal year 2009-2010, due primarily to cost-recovery improvements to Happy Hollow Park and Zoo and the elimination/suspension of lower cost –recovery programs.

The San Jose City Council established the Pricing and Revenue Policy, adopting existing fees as of July 1, 2009 and authorizing the City Manager or Designee to gradually enact fees and charges more consistent with Council Policy and within the approved Cost Recovery Goals.

In 2010-2011, most of PRNS’ fee programs are anticipated to be 100% cost-recovery.  PRNS continues its full implementation of the Pricing and Revenue Policy approved by City Council in June 2009.  The City Council authorized the City Manager or Designee to establish fees and charges within the parameters of Council-approved cost-recovery rates.
