Workshop Agenda Item No. 2
Presentation, Possible Action and Discussion Regarding the
Implementation of a Proposed
Parks and Recreation Department Enterprise Fund
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Schmitz, Assistant Director, Parks and Recreation
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the
implementation of a proposed Parks and Recreation Department Enterprise Fund.
Recommendation(s): Staff requests that the Council provide input and policy direction
on the proposed next steps for the development and implementation of a proposed Parks
and Recreation Department Enterprise Fund as requested by the Council at the November
23, 2009 meeting. The proposed next steps include:
· Look at a Pilot Program to develop an operating system that works
· Change cost subsidy policy ranges
· Grow the Pilot Program if a positive evaluation is determined
Summary: Over the last several months, the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD)
staff along with the Finance Department staff has been researching the concepts associated
with the creation and possible implementation of a PARD Enterprise Fund. The basic intent
of this fund would be to see what revenue producing activities could be removed from the
General Fund Budget and still exist as a special fund with its revenues covering the agreed
upon expenses in a self supporting environment with as minimal General Fund subsidy as
possible.
In light of the current economic conditions, staff has been reviewing what possible
alternatives might be used to preserve many of the City’s recreation programs while at the
same time not placing a strain on the General Fund for the programs’ continued funding
needs. The department currently offers such a program in a much smaller scope with its
Xtra Education Program. It must be understood that not all expenses associated with a
recreation program will be covered by this proposed new fund. There would still be some
expenses borne by the General Fund as an ongoing subsidy. Staff is also recommending
that certain recreation programs that the City currently provides, such as the Challenger
Sports and Learn to Swim Programs, should continue to be supported by the General Fund
and not be considered for inclusion in the proposed new fund.
Depending upon Council direction, some of the proposed program areas to include in the
Pilot Program with varied participation levels for comparisons are:
· Athletics – Youth and adult softball, volleyball, flag football and kickball
· Instructional programs – tennis, water aerobics and basketball skills
· Recreational Programs – Lincoln Center field trips
A survey study of the benchmark cities for College Station revealed that not too many cities
are using an enterprise or performance based fund for their recreation programs. The City
of Denton however did use a Recreation Fund for this purpose and is probably the best
5
example of how this type of fund might be used. Their Recreation Fund, in place since
1982, is used to cover the direct expenses related to their recreation programs that are
offered in the recreation centers or out on the city’s athletic fields. The basic difference that
the Denton PARD staff made between the General Fund and the PARD Recreation Fund is
that the General Fund is used to cover the “green and growing expenses” while the
Recreation Fund covers the “activities in the parks expenses.”
Budget & Financial Summary: The General Fund FY 11 operating expense and revenue
budgets for these recreation programs will need to be amended should the Council decide to
move forward in this area of operations.

Workshop Agenda Item No. 3
Parks and Recreation Department FY 10 Budget Savings
Presentation
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Schmitz, Assistant Director, Parks and Recreation
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the Parks and
Recreation Department FY 10 Budget Savings Presentation.
Recommendation(s): Staff requests that the Council provide input and policy direction
on the presentation provided by staff regarding proposed budget savings in the FY 10
General Fund Operating Budget for the Parks and Recreation Department.
Staff from both the Finance Department and the Parks and Recreation Department has been
working on the budget forecast for the rest of the FY 10 Parks and Recreation Department
operations.
Summary: The analysis of the expenditures and revenues for the rest of the fiscal year in
the area of Parks and Recreation operations has led to a projected overage in allocated
funds in an approximate amount of $140,000. This overage is forecast in addition to the
changes that have already been made as a part of the Budget Amendment #2 for the FY 10
General Fund Budget. Actual reductions in Parks and Recreation operations expenditures
need to happen in order to not exceed the amended budget allocation. The overage is
comprised principally of the reintroduction of the Umpires Contract expenses ($50,000),
projected historical overages in the pool chemicals and seasonal staff accounts as well as
the inclusion of additional landscape and irrigation maintenance responsibilities for City
facilities and streets.
Staff has identified four key areas where either savings in expenses or additions in revenue
may be used to help offset the projected overage. These areas include:
· Instructional Programs
· Aquatics and The EXIT Programs
· Park Operations
· Parks and Recreation Programs Revenues
With the summer season quickly approaching, it is imperative that the City communicate
these proposed changes in operations to its clients as soon as possible.
Budget & Financial Summary: The amended FY 10 Budget for the Parks and Recreation
Department is $8,864,910. The estimated overage is approximately $140,000.

Memorandum
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
Through: David Neeley, Assistant City Manager
From: Marco A. Cisneros, Director, Parks and Recreation
Subject: FY 10 Budget Savings for Parks and Recreation Department
Date: April 21, 2010
The recent budget amendment for the General Fund brought to light a number of the
ongoing challenges that the Parks and Recreation Department faces with its operating
budget for the rest of this fiscal year. In cooperation with the Finance staff, PARD staff
has estimated a budget overage in expenditures in the amended budget to be
approximately $140,000. In other words if the forecast expenditures continue through
the rest of the fiscal year without any changes being made then the department will
exceed its allocated budget by approximately $140,000. With that in mind PARD staff
has looked at various options to see what can be done to offset that budget overage
with the implementation of concentrated savings efforts throughout the department as
well as the use of increased revenues. Here is a breakdown of that plan with an
emphasis on the part of the department that it involves:
#1 – Instructional Programs
Staff is looking at revamping the delivery of the Instructional Programs activities. Some
savings can be achieved by shifting staff responsibilities for instructional classes as well
as using the electronic media rather than more printing of materials for the marketing of
the program. This will not lessen the capacity for the delivery of the programs to the
public. These savings would be achieved in reduced overtime salaries, promotional
materials and printing costs.
Estimated Savings - $8,000
#2 – Aquatics and The EXIT Programs
In the area of Aquatics, the proposal is for a one day per week for each of the three
aquatic facilities to be closed for the summer season. These closures would be
programmed on alternate days Monday through Wednesday so that as one facility is
closed, the swim clients would still have the option of going to one of the other facilities.
In the spring months we would also be reducing the Natatorium operating hours as the
operations shift to the Hallaran Pool at Southwood Athletic Park as has been done in
the past.
Savings would be achieved in less seasonal staff being needed for those days through
the summer season. There would not be any significant anticipated savings in utilities
or chemicals because the pool water quality has to remain at the standard levels for
meeting state requirements.
8
The EXIT Teen Center operations would be closed earlier on Friday nights since that
typically is one of the lowest attendance times for the center. The savings would be
achieved in less seasonal staff and some reductions in supplies.
Estimated Savings - $46,500
#3– Park Operations
Savings will be achieved in the Park Operations area by not filling any of the seasonal
positions that typically get filled during the peak mowing and special events season.
Split shifts and alternating crews will be used to cover the weekend operations for
athletic tournaments and pavilion reservations that the seasonal staff would typically
cover.
Additional savings will also be achieved by not filling a grounds worker position that just
came open due to an employee that left the City for a parks and recreation promotion
position in another city. Park Operations staff will continue to work with the available
staff for the rest of the fiscal year. Possible impacts are that mowing schedules will be
affected and special event support for outside groups will limited in scope due to the
available resources. The operating philosophy for the parks becomes addressing safety
issues first, function issues second and aesthetic issues third. Depending upon the
weather there may be times that we will not be able to address aesthetic issues as
quickly as we would like to.
Estimated Savings - $53,600
#4 – PARD Revenues
The PARD revenues that are derived from the various fees that are collected for
programs, leagues and facility reservations are doing a little better than expected.
PARD staff in cooperation with the Finance staff has been tracking those revenues.
The current trend for the fiscal year is about three percent (3%) above the budget
projections. If that trend continues that three percent translates into an additional
$30,000 in PARD revenues that can be used to help offset expenditures.
Estimated Increased Revenues - $30,000
Estimated #1- 3 Savings - $108,100
Estimated #4 Increased Revenues - $30,000
Total Savings and Increased Revenues - $138,100
With the summer season right around the corner it is imperative that we communicate
these changes in operations to our clients as soon as possible. With your authorization
we will move forward in making these changes in operations with a strong emphasis on
maintaining as much of our service delivery as possible.
