8. Directs staff to utilize Food Bank Direct Service Eligibility Guidelines (185% of Poverty) to establish eligibility for Recreation Fee Waiver Program;
11. Directs staff to utilize “bundle” of services approach to establish annual maximum per person amount of recreational fees waived, equivalent to four representative activities a year or one camp, amount to be established and reviewed administratively;
14. Requires no form of co-payment for any services provided by the Recreation Fee Waiver Program;
16. Directs staff to manage the Fee Waiver Program budget by encumbering the maximum per eligible person amount at time person qualifies; stop qualifying new participants when budgeted amount is encumbered; roll unspent funds into Community Recreation Fund balance; and
