[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the demand it has, it’s surprising to hear they don’t have cost recovery. If you want to keep it, come up with other cuts to the budget that equal its cost. Don’t be one of those annoying people that complains about budget cuts without offering alternative cuts.[/quote]
If there isnt cost recovery, it's because the county isn't staffing the program.  There's tons and tons of demand.[/quote]

If there isn't cost recovery, it's because people aren't paying enough to cover the costs and whatever they'd actually have to charge you, you'd be shocked.

Come up with something else for them to cut.  Not going to be as easy as you think unless you start digging into County Board untouchables like public safety, affordable housing, helping the most vulnerable, etc.  [/quote]
Or there's no cost recovery because it's being run like a government program where there's no urgency to fill vacant staff spots, run the maximum number of classes to fully use the facility, or determine an appropriate market rate for classes.[/quote]
