FDC 2011 -001 REVIEW THE PARK & RECREATION FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION REVISED 2010 -2011 AND PROPOSED 2011 -2012 ANNUAL
OPERATING BUDGET AND RECOMMEND ADOPTION
APPROVED
Citizen Member Greene present at 6:31 p.m.
Mr. Vickie Loftice, Director of Parks and Recreation, gave an overview of the proposed
2011 -2012 Operating Budget and the revised 2010 -2011 Operating Budget. The Council
reviewed the Park Development Budget on August 5 at the City's annual budget work
session. The proposed 2011 -2012 Operating Budget is $7,184,608 and the revised
Operating Budget is $4,761,757. Proposed revenues for the fund are $7.1 million. The 4B
Y -cent sales tax is the primary source of revenue for the fund, accounting for 58% of its
revenue or $4.2 million. The next largest revenue source is the NRH Centre, which
accounts for 24% of the revenue. Revenue for the proposed Operating Budget has been
increased by $2,574,681 compared to FY 2010 -2011 Adopted Budget. The majority of the
increase is projected revenue for the future NRH Centre in the amount of $1.7 million. The
Proposed 2011/2012 Budget shows an increase in expenditures of $2,647,427 which is
attributed to NRH Centre startup costs and six months of operation (April to September),
Loop 820 Recreation Center operational costs (October 2011 to March 2012) and debt
service. For accounting purposes, projected revenues and expenditures have been moved
from the general fund to the Park Fund as the transition is made from the existing facility to
the new facility in April.
There were no questions from the Board.
Motion for this item was made at the conclusion of the review of the Capital Budget (next
item).
