The requirement of a damage deposit for <br /> User Type 3 should be at the discretion of the <br /> Director of Recreation and Parks. A damage deposit <br /> should always be required for User Type 4 <br /> reservations. <br /> The amount of damage deposit should be $ 50 .00 <br /> per reserved use. <br /> RPAC COMMENTS: Requiring a damage deposit is a means of forming a <br /> sense of ownership and/or commitment to the safe <br /> and respectful use of the county facility. It is <br /> an important element in the facility use process <br /> and fee schedule, regardless of the fact that the <br /> deposit will be returned in almost all cases. <br /> STAFF INFORMATION: It is hoped that the damage deposits will be <br /> returned in almost every case. The administrative cost to initiate and <br /> complete the deposit refund will be very minimal. <br /> D. ACCESS TO PUBLIC TELEPHONES AT ALL RECREATION /PARK FACILITIES <br /> RPAC The county should provide telephones at all county <br /> RECO1' 4ENDATION: recreation and park facilities so that patrons <br /> can call 9-1-1 if an emergency should arise. <br /> It is recommended that these telephones be <br /> programed so that in-coming calls are blocked. <br /> STAFF INFORMATION: Installing one pay phone at each recreation/park <br /> facility will cost the county approximately $ 40 per month. Annual <br /> cost for 6 phones = $ 2,880. <br />
