Item: 7.2.B. MEMORANDUM liver TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Steve Benoit, Recreation Manager DATE: June 2, 201 I SUBJECT: Program Facility Usage Report A request was made to the Parks and Recreation Department to compile a report regarding recreational facility usage. The report is to focus on all space allocation conflicts between City and non-City sponsored recreation programs, along with an estimate of the financial impact to the City. The Parks and Recreation staff compiled the report and is attached. Following is a summary of the report. Overview • Focus was programs held on athletic fields during weekday evenings and weekends. Currently no conflict exists for indoor facilities. As programs receive more demand, however, there could be a conflict with indoor space in the future. • This report designates an increase in field usage by the Parks and Recreation Department from 23% of available field space to 34% during the summer season, and 13% to 21 % in the fall season. • Parks and Recreation programs noted in the report that could be increased include adult softball, flag football, t-ball, soccer, and lacrosse. These programs were identified due to requests that have been received for these programs. This is not an inclusive list as there could be other untried programs that could be successful. Financial Impact Following is a financial impact summary. This summary represents the potential net profits that could be achieved assuming the programs utilizing the spaces indicated in the report operate at full capacity. • Summer Program Season Net Profit Current Potential Adult Softball 10,380 20,860 Fla Football 2,310 2,310 T-Ball 7,960 7,960 Soccer 1,109 1,109 Lacrosse 360 360 N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Recreation\2011 PRC Packets\06-08-11 PRC Packet\Program Facility Usage Report.doc
