SECTION 3. The Aviation, Development Services, Environmental Services, Financial Management Services, Fire, Park and Recreation, Property Management, Public Events, Transportation and Public Works, and Water Departments operate facilities and programs that compete with public and private sector facilities for business and periodically need to make adjustments in response to market demands and for promotional and educational purposes.
