Through the Fairgrounds, CSU Extension, Jeffco Open Space and the Boettcher Mansion, Jeffco Parks provides many programs and services in Jefferson County. This month Jeffco Parks invites customers and park visitors to provide input at one of three Fee and Cost Recovery Workshops.

The 2-hour workshops are intended to assist Jeffco Parks in developing an equitable fee and cost recovery process to help plan for the future:

• Wednesday, May 25, 2016 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Apex Community Recreation Center, 6842 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada, CO

• Thursday, May 26, 2016 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the City of Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Pkwy, Lakewood, CO

• Thursday, May 26, 2016 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 15200 W. 6th Ave., Golden, CO

Staff members and GreenPlay, a parks and recreation management consulting firm, will facilitate small group discussions to assist with this effort. Following a short presentation about the process, participants will be asked where programs and services fit within a model known as the Cost Recovery Pyramid.

From the workshop series, a Consensus Pyramid will be created as a recommendation to Jeffco Parks for adopting a cost recovery philosophy and policy.
