COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 JUNE 2012CR12.852012/2013 REVIEW OF FEES AND CHARGES - YOUTH SERVICESPURPOSE OF REPORT:To review the current fee structures for the Cambridge Youth Services.BACKGROUND:Each year, as part of the budgetary process, the fees and charges are reviewed. Such aprocess encompasses the review of various services and programs provided within the Town’sYouth Service. The most appropriate time to set and review these fees is prior to adopting theBudget so that the new fees can be reflected in the revenue items.Historically, fees and charges have increased in line with CPI (Perth) movements (usuallyrange from 3.4+ %). Although the CPI (Perth) movements for the period March 2011 to March2012 was only 1.9%, it is recommended to increase the fees and charges in relation to theCambridge Youth Services by approximately 4%. This can be justified as it takes intoconsideration the increases in staff wages, utilities and building costs.DETAILS:The Town’s Youth Services facilitate and deliver a wide range of programs and services,predominantly from the premises at 86 Cambridge Street, West Leederville. In addition to theprograms offered at 86 Cambridge Street, a number of activities are offered at other locationswithin the Town. Participating in these activities attracts a small fee and monies collected fromparticipants are offset against the overall cost. As well as the costs associated in participatingin an array of activities and programs, the Youth Services also offer limited photocopying andtelephone usage, which attract a nominal cost recovery charge. It is recommended that noincrease is made to photocopying or to the cost of phone calls.Tables 1 below highlight the costs for the activities and other available resources:Table 1Item 2011/2012(GST Inclusive)Proposed 2012/2013(GST Inclusive)IncreaseEntry Fees-gigs and musicevents$6.00 per event $6.30 per event 0.30Entry Fees-activities andworkshops(dependent uponmaterial cost)$6.00 -$40.00 peractivity/workshop$6.30 -$41.60 peractivity/workshop0.30 - 1.60Photocopying $0.20 per page $0.20 per page nilTelephone $0.60 per call $0.60 per call nilPOLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:There are no Policy or Statutory Implications related to this report.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\JUNE 2012\C CR.DOCX 133
