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 />• <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 />RECOMMENDATION: 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 />• <br />
