Proposal for Center Rental Rate Increase

Center Rental Rate Increase, pg.

1. Historical Overview
In 1990 the City established rental rates for renting the recreation centers for
special events. The rental rates have remained unchanged for the past 10
years. The initial rates charged to citizens was set fairly low to accommodate
those who needed a place to host a family gathering, a wedding reception, or
other event. Usage of the centers has been primarily a one-time event by
residents of La Porte. Currently, and for the past several years there has
been only one commercial venture that rents our centers on a regular basis
(Bill Gray rents two centers regularly for Karate Classes). Our present rates
for center operation are:
. $5.00 per hour, two-hour minimum rental, $100 refundable deposits for La
Porte non-profit organizations.
· $15.00 per hour, two hour minimum rental, $100 refundable deposit for all
other rentals.
. We provide security service by contrad with the La Porte Police Officers
Association (cost of security is paid diredly to the LPPOA by the Lessee).
2. Present Status
The current rental rates do not generate enough revenue to pay for the cost
of operation of the centers. Rising salaries and the use of overtime to assure
that a caretaker is on-site to meet our Lessee's immediate needs and to
proted the interests of the City has increased the cost of operation for the
rental process. The City's approximate cost of operation for center rentals at
$10 per hour with a caretaker and $18.14 per hour at overtime. These costs
make an assumption of $3 per hour for cost of electricity, water, tissue paper,
and other incidental costs of operation.
3. Survey of Comparable Centers in the Area
Staff has reviewed the operation of various cities in the area for their rental
prices of comparable facilities. The assumption was made that facilities in the
range of 150 to 200 people were comparable to our capacities in size and
function. Staff obtained rental rates from Baytown, Deer Park, Houston,
League City, Pasadena, Seabrook, S. Houston, and Webster. There is a
disparity in how centers are rented by various municipalities in the area.
Some use resident non-resident rates, some use commercial, non-
commercial rates, and La Porte uses Profit, Non-Profit rates. When compared
to other rates, all other things being equal, It is evident that La Porte has the
lowest rates for comparable rental facilities in the area. The average rental
rate per hour is $26.42 for resident rate and $33.17 for non-resident rate for
all the cities surveyed (except for Webster which has no comparable center
for rent), compared to La Porte's $5 non-profit and $15 for profit rates.

4. Summary and Recommendations
Based on the estimated cost of operations outlined above in Section 2 and on
the survey results outlined in Section 3, it is apparent that our rates for center
rental need to be adjusted to reflect our increased cost of operation and to be
more equitable compared to other facilities in the area. We propose the
following rental rates for our centers for consideration:
. $15 per hour for non-profit organizations, with a $200 deposit; minimum 2
hour rental
· $25 per hour for all other rentals, with a $200 deposit; minimum 2 hour
rental.
Positive Impact: This rate puts us slightly lower than the average for rentals
of comparable centers in the area. These rental rates would bring us close to
recouping our costs for center rental for non-profit rentals, and somewhat
more for other rentals, which would make up the difference. These rates
should be sufficient to cover costs for the foreseeable future and assure a
small profit margin for future cost increases should they materialize.
Negative Impact: This level of increase may result in a reduction in demand
for the use of our centers. We may also get some negative publicity,
particularly from the non-profit organizations that use our facilities.
Staff recommends that the proposed rates be adopted as the effective rate for
rental of the City's recreation centers, beginning on January 1, 2001.
Although it will not cover our costs of operation in every case, it will cover
costs in most cases. It also allows room for future cost growth. over the next
several years and should serve the City's interests well for the foreseeable
future. As is the case for every rate increase, there will be some negative
feedback from our customers, but certainly the rising cost of operation and
the fact that we have held prices static for the last 10 years speaks for itself. If
we are to charge higher rates, the City must assure customers the best
possible service for their dollar when compared to the service of other cities in
the area. We believe that we do provide an extra level of service to our
customers and will continue to offer the best available rental facilities for the
citizens of La Porte and others to enjoy.
