CULTURE AND LEISURE SERVICES (CLS) BOARD
MARCH 30, 2023 REGULAR MEETING • ITEM # 3
Subject: Review proposed Fee Schedules for facility rentals of pavilions located at Manatee
Sanctuary Park and Banana River Park, to make a recommendation for City Council, or ask Staff to
revise proposals and bring back to Board for further review.
Summary: At the request of City Council, Staff investigated the feasibility of charging differential
rates for facility rentals at Manatee Sanctuary Park (MSP) and Banana River Park (BRP), based on
residency status, as part of the larger department wide Fee Review.
Upon further research it was determined that charging differential rates based on "age, sex, race
other conditions or the political subdivision in which the user may reside" was not permitted per
the provisions of the Florida Communities Trust and Florida Recreation Development Assistance
Program (FRDAP) grants, used to construct the pavilions at both MSP and BRP (Attachments 1 &
2).
The previous administration was unaware of this caveat when they began allowing a differential
rate for Non -Profit facility use of these pavilions, an allowance that was immediately suspended
upon discovery of this information, to avoid violating the terms of the grant.
While these Grantor agencies will review requests for "special allowances," the request may have
unintended consequences that could dictate how the differentiated income is used going forward.
There is also the chance that we complete the full request process, only to be denied.
For this reason, Staff is not proposing differential fee schedules for these two facilities in the
proposals drafted for consideration.
Three years of Facility Rental Revenues, generated via the pavilions at Banana River Park and
Manatee Sanctuary Park, are attached as a point of reference. (Attachment 4)

(1) Florida Department of Environmental Protection Final Reimbursement Letter RE: FRDAP

(4) MSP Pavilion Rental Revenues & BRP Pavilion Rental Revenues FY19/20 - FY21/22
PRCA Staff recommends the Board take the following action: Review proposed Fee
Schedules for facility rentals of pavilions located at Manatee Sanctuary Park and Banana River
Park to make a recommendation for City Council or ask Staff to revise proposals and bring back
to Board for further review.

TO: RECREATION BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: NAt'CY HANSON
Sll9J: FACILITY RENTAL PROPOSAL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 1985
During the hours that the assembly room is not
scheduled for a recreation activity I recommend
the department rent out the facility.
The lack of meeting space in the city and the
central location of the Recreation Center makes
this a desirable location for groups to meet.
in the past, many city groups have used the
facility for meetings and activities. These
groups were not charged a fee as they were
sharing the tax responsibility for the Complex,
along with the other citizens in the community.
Now that the city is no longer collecting the
special tax, I feel the department is iustifieri
in charging a rental fee to help defray expenses
for the operation and upkeep of the building.
The following is my recommendation:
CATEGORY I Cape Canaveral Community Service
and Recreation Department sponsored
groups (i.e. Little League, Soccer
League, Tennis, Shuffleboard and
Softball Associations)MJ CHARGE
CATEGORY II Cape Canaveral Non -Profit Organizations,
Groups and Clubs. ;.7.50 + tax, per
hour. Minimum fee „.i5.00 + tax.
Janitorial fee, if needed.
CATEGORY III ,all Others. :'a 5.00 + tax, per hour.
Minimum fee 30.00 + tax. janitorial
fee, if needed.
ANY function where Food and/or beverage is to be
served will require a refundable clean up deposit.
Amount of deposit to be left to the Recreation
Director's discretion.
