and availability of such programs throughout the city, and a comparative analysis with
city programs to align city program offerings in such a manner as to
avoid duplication of private sector programs and to respond to the demand for
city-organized recreational programs where private sector programs cannot meet service demands in particular
areas;
(3) Evaluation and monitoring of fee policies which correlate with rational recreational standards and
priorities; and
(4) Identifying and assessing cost-effective methods to maximize the efficiency of city-organized recreational program
promotional efforts.
