CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH
RECREATION & PARKS DEPARTMENT
REVENUE POLICY
I. STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
The basic philosophy of the Boynton Beach Recreation and Parks Department is to offer year-
round diversified recreation services, ensuring that all citizens have equal opportunity for
participation. However, since the demand upon the Department is greater than the public's
ability to appropriate public funds to support that demand, it becomes necessary to charge
fees and pursue other supplementary revenues and resources. Fees and charges for parks
and recreation services will provide only one source of finance for the Department. They will be
thoroughly evaluated prior to their adoption into the fiscal matrix supporting public parks and
recreation services, a matrix which includes general fund appropriations, contractual receipts,
land dedication, bond issues, grants-in-aid, and special gifts and donations. Fees and charges
will supplement these other resources, not replace them nor be used to diminish government's
responsibility to provide open space and leisure opportunities. Rather, fees and charges will
be viewed as a method to expand and to continue to provide basic services on an equitable
basis. The general benefit of services made possible through fees and charges must 'exceed
any detriment imposed by the fees, and collections must be practical and economical.
II. STATEMENT OF NEED
It is the responsibility of the Boynton Beach Recreation and Parks Department to offer a
comprehensive recreation program and to provide public park land. Because of heavy
demands for new and expanded services and because of the increase in operating expenses,
it has become necessary to adopt a sound and consistent policy that will guide the search and
generation of supplementary revenues to tax dollars.
III. AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
The revenue policy was formally adopted on September 21, 1993 and amended on
December 5, 2000, and October 21, 2003 by the Boynton Beach City Commission and
revisions must come before them for approval. The City Commission and City Manager have
authorized and charged the Direr, ter~ef-Recreation and Parks Director with providing oversight
Recreation & Paros Depaitment

in the implementation of the policy, and establishing appropriate procedures to administer the
policy's goals and guidelines. All fee schedules will be approved by the City Manager upon th6

recommendation of the Diceet<~ cf R .......... Recreabon · ·

REVENUE PRODUCING FACILITIES_
Revenue producing facilities may be developed in parks to supplement General Fund
revenues and to provide Boynton Beach residents additional recreational opportunities.
The number and type of these kinds of facilities will be determined based on need. The
service itself must be the FIRST priority. Thus, revenue producing facilities will be
considered a basic resource of the recreation and park system, and will be constructed
with public funds. Depending on the nature of the service they provide, they may be
operated and maintained from user fee revenues. Where user fee revenues do not
have the potential to maintain the facility to a high standard of service, General Fund
monies will be used to assure continuation of the service to the public.
1. General Fund appropriations will be requested to support the operation of all
Park & Recreation facilities. While these facilities may be capable of generating
sufficient revenues to offset their operational costs, the General Fund
appropriations will provide an adequate cash flow during fluctuations of revenue
due to weather, seasonal changes and varied participation by the public.
Fees collected from revenue producing programs or facilities may be deposited
in a Trust Fund or Enterprise Fund to improve or expand the recreational
services of these facilities for the users. Thus, those who use the program or
facility pay directly for the operation. The guidelines governing the Enterprise
Fund are stated in this policy under Section VIII, Accounting for all Revenues.
When public funds are not available for construction of special facilities due to
other priorities of the department and the City, funding for development may be
sought and provided through public/private contractual agreements.
In situations where the financial constraints of government cannot ensure the
maintenance of the high standard of service desired by the public, the services
may be operated through contractual agreements with the private sector.
Page 8 of 26
Recreation & Parks Department
Revenue Policy Manual
DIFFERENTIAL FEES: SPECIAL SITUATIONS AND GROUPS
It shall be general policy to develop reciprocal use agreements with the Palm
Beach County School Board District allowing joint use of facilities at no charge to
either party unless uses require special needs which require high costs to the
school or City.
Special interest groups shall be granted no special consideration in the form of
reduced rates or free services, with the exception of those groups affiliated with
the Department. Special interest groups may include, but are not limited to,
religious and political organizations, commercial businesses or clubs and
organizations.
MayMany out-of-town residents use Boynton Beach recreation services but make
no direct tax contributions to help support these services, it is not equitable for
these citizens to enjoy the facility or service while this jurisdiction's residents are
taxed for its maintenance and operation. Therefore, it is reasonable to
incorporate into the fee and charge policy different Non-resident and Resident
fees. Thus, visitors and residents together will help maintain the facility and
provide funds for continued expansion and proper staffing.
WAIVERS
Official City-sponsored or affiliated programs and events shall be fee exempt. The
i~r~;,-~n rtir,~,~ r '
.................... Recreabon & Parks Director or his designee shall make such
determination. On some occasion, fees and charges may be reduced when such action
is determined by the Director of RecreaticnRecreation & Parks Director or his designee
to be in the best interest of Boynton Beach or the specific program. A written request
for waiver of fees must be submitted through the Director of RecmationRecreation &
Parks Director, and approved by the City Commission.

upon the participant's prorated share of costs already invested and committed
into the program, including administrative services.
All requests for refunds must be made in writing to the ~
Rer:,reatie~Recreation & Parks Director ...-or his designee and any special
circumstances will be determined by the Director or his designee. Full refunds for

recreation program registration. No administrative service charges will be
