•Questions from Council?
Boulder Parks & Recreation Master Plan Update
Questions for City Council
2022 BPR Master Plan –Policies, Goals, and Initiatives
1.While BPR will be exploring new and/or increased revenue streams, does council
support an action item to review levels of services so that they may be reduced in
some areas to maintain them in others?
2.For funding recreation, does council support a service delivery model where:
a)Adult fees recover full cost (or cost plus);
b)Community Benefit Programming (i.e.programming for people with
disabilities and means-tested Financial Aid) is limited to enhancements
funded by alternate and one-time funding and age-based discounts for
older adults and youth will need to be revisited; and
c)Revenue generating opportunities to provide intra-fund subsidy will be
explored, such as (but not limited to) increased non-resident fees, social
entrepreneurship, and commercial use in parks.

Questions for City Council
2022 BPR Master Plan –Plan Alternatives?
1.Does council have input on the Plan Alternatives and support
the initiatives of the Fiscally Constrained scenario?
2.Does council support a more intense focus on Taking Care of
What We Have with limited tax subsidies? This means that any
new services (i.e. programs or amenities) will be very limited.
