or using old numbers... 100,000 houses x $173/month x 12 months = $207,000,000 per year

You should let the budget department know they are under counting by nearly 70%.

Not sure where your bad numbers come from. My amenity fee is less than $170 per month and last I heard there were only about 80,000 homes.

But all that aside, even your calculator work doesn't come close to "$200million collected every month."

Given the tasks as well as the fact that many times there’s only one Rec Assistant working, one can give these folks a break for managing the tasks quite well. Most of the folks working these jobs are long retired and do it for various reasons. Yes, our amenity fees help pay their salary….but it also pays for a lot more. If some aren’t happy with the way things are run, maybe they could take a job and do it better!

As a rec assistant I appreciate what you wrote and you are quite correct. At LaHacienda we close tennis courts, pickleball courts, bring in three water containers, close the Memorial park and the pool, along with locking up all the floats. Most nights in a regional center of that size we have two folks working but remember too, there are often two or three events going on in the building plus a billiards room. Lots to do and like many Recreation centers we are short of staff.
