DATE: March 21, 2012
SUBJECT: RECREATION DIVISION 2011 RECAP
ISSUE
City Council requested an update on the Recreation Programs. In 2010, the Parks and
Recreation Department received direction from City Council to reduce overall expenditures and
increase Cost Recovery for 2011 Recreation programs.
BACKGROUND
Through a thorough budget process in 2010, City -wide reductions yielded a budget reduction of
14.2% for the Recreation Division. To achieve this, a number of cuts occurred including FTE
reduction from 15.5 to 12, along with reductions in Extra Labor (seasonal part -time labor),
Supplies, and Other Services. Recreation revenue expectations also increased by nearly 21
Further, Council provided direction to the Division to 1) revise fees to increase Cost Recovery
while recognizing the issues of pricing participants out of programs, 2) priority ranking of City
subsidies for Recreation programs and services, 3) Non Residents should pay more for
Recreation programs and services, and 4) consider Rental Rates and Policies for rentals.
DISCUSSION
Increased Cost Recovery has been achieved through the budget process and on -going cost
containment measures. In some cases, program fees have also been increased. Total Cost
Recovery for the Division has grown to over 43% and the General Fund subsidy has decreased
25% since 2007. While Direct Cost Recovery for Recreation Division is over 100 the
challenge with increased fees is pricing participants out of a program, particularly in a
community where nearly 80% of the students are on Free /Reduced Lunch and seniors are on
fixed income.
Priority ranking of cost Recovery for each program has been helpful, and you will see how the
actual Recovery compares the Model. At the time of the discussion, the primary concern was
related to Rentals, and that they achieve as close to full Recovery as possible. Total Recreation
Division Cost Recovery for Rental Programs is 96%
The division has implemented a Non Resident Fee Schedule, and we have reviewed,
evaluated, and implemented new rental rates and policies for Tukwila Community Center.

and Recreation is a key contributor to livable communities and helps
make Tukwila a place that people want to live and stay. Recreation programs and
activities provide a wealth of positive benefits for people, their development, and
overall community health. There are numerous studies citing these benefits, which
include Physical Mental Health, Social Importance, Cultural Significance, and
Economic Value. The City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation provides programs,
activities, and services that are close -to -home, low -cost, and readily available.
These programs and services improve a community's Quality of Life, meet the
needs of the community, and offer the following advantages:
Reduce Obesity and Diminish Risk of Chronic Disease
Reduce Crime 4 Unite Families
Strengthen Community Improve Quality of Life
Promote Stewardship Support Seniors
Develop Youth
2011 was a challenging year for the City trying to recover from certain budget projections and adjusting to
new ways of doing business. Through a lengthy and thorough budget process, City -wide reductions yielded a
budget expenditure reduction of 14.2% for the Recreation Division. To achieve this, a number of cuts occurred
including FTE reduction from 15.5 to 12 (22.5% reduction through 2.0 Administrative Support Assistants, 1.0
Recreation Program Specialist, and 0.5 Recreation Program Assistant); Extra Labor reduced by $73,939, Supplies
reduced by $17,694, Other Services reduced by $5,517. Additionally, Recreation revenue expectations increased
by over $165,000 (nearly 21 Combined Expenditure reductions and Revenue increase resulted in net impact of
over $470,000.
In response to Council Direction at the July 6, 2010 City Council Regular Meeting, the Recreation Division
worked to implement 4 elements. First, the Division revised fees to increase Cost Recovery while recognizing the
issue of pricing participants out of a program. The challenge to this is finding the price point that meets the
Increased Cost Recovery benchmark while minimizing participant loss in a community where most Seniors are on
fixed incomes and nearly 80% of students are on free /reduced lunch. It's worth noting that Recreation Budgeting
differs from other Departments. When a program does not meet registration levels, it's cancelled and there are
only minimal (or perhaps no) Direct Costs associated with the program. Similarly, no revenue is realized.
Increased Cost Recovery can be achieved by reducing costs, increasing participation, increasing fees, or a
combination of all three. Cost reduction was achieved through the budget process and on -going cost containment
measures. Increasing participation is nearly always a goal in Recreation because that means that we are able to
positively impact the lives of more people. In 2010, many programs were at or near capacity. In 2011, we found
that many activities and programs had declining participation levels. Based on customer feedback, the primary
factor in participant loss were fee increases that were implemented to increase Cost Recovery and meet revenue
"Leweall the afternoon fotexerc goals. As a result of higher fees, fewer people are able to af-

willrathersaymore n ccessatybecaus_he'al #fiis served fewer people. Due to lower participation levels in
2011, there was less revenue and fewer expenditures, which
wort more than l ewv mg.' resulted in the Recreation Division giving $110,000 in unspent
ThO177,75kffet:F0171 expenditures back the General Fund.
Secondly, Council Direction guided the Division toward a
priority ranking of City subsidies for Recreation programs
and services. It was recommended that Youth and Teen
programs have the most subsidy (least Cost Recovery),
followed by Senior Programs, General Programs, and
finally Rentals to include as best effort to achieve Full
Cost Recovery (see Figure 1).
The report will show Cost Recovery rates for a couple of
different measures. Please see page "Reference" on page
15 for description of different Cost Recovery levels.
Next, Council indicated that Non Residents should pay more than residents for recreation programs and services.
In 2011, the Recreation Division implemented a Non Resident Fee Schedule for programs and activities. It is a
sliding scale based on the resident rate, with the non resident rate between 10 25% higher.
Lastly, the Recreation Division was asked to consider Rental Rates and Policies for public, non profit, and other City
department use of the Tukwila Community Center. To obtain the desired the Cost Recovery of near 100 most
rental rates were increased. See page 12 for impact of modified rates.
The Division implemented these elements with mixed success. In most cases, we have accomplished these goals,
however, challenges remain. This report will recap 2011 in each program area and will attempt to show each
program area's activities, changes that happened in 2011 as part of the cost reductions, cost recovery, and things
we are looking forward to in 2012.

PROGRAMS YOUTH
It o uth programs through Tukwila Parks and Recreation provide the
community with excellent recreation activities that help unite families and
improve the quality of life for our youth. With the increased youth obesity,
participating in recreation programs helps combat this epidemic through
active play. Our youth programs also provide positive youth development
both personally and socially to every child that participates in our
programs. 75% of our youth leaders are past participants who returned
because of the value that recreation had in their life and their desire to
pass that along and have a similar impact for the next generation.

Camp Tukwilly (Summer Day Camp) The Resident fees were increased by $15 /week (13%
increase) along with the implementation of a new Non Resident fee. As a result of the fee
increase, participation declined from an average of 94 kids /week in 2010 to only 69 kids per
week in 2011 (27% decrease in participation).
Fright Night The Free Fright Night event was eliminated from the 2011 budget. Due to the
size of this event, Recreation worked with the Special Events division and Parks Commission
to help make the event happen. Additionally, we charged a fee to help offset the cost of the
event. This event typically sees attendance near 900 for a free event. In 2011, there were
nearly 600 (33% decrease in participation).
Preschool Due to union negotiations and budget reductions, the pre school instructor
was laid of in August 2011. The Department did not have other FTE resources to trans-
fer to the program and due to existing labor agreements we were unable to contract or
hire extra labor and the Program was cancelled.
Spring Egg Hunt The Free Spring Egg Hunt event was eliminated from the 2011 budget.
Youth Teen Basketball Washington State Department of Revenue now requires that
we charge sales tax for this activity. Budget reductions resulted in a number of
measures to reduce costs we no longer provide coaches shirts, trophies or basketballs
to each kid, and we reduced the number of games. Participation in the league is down
by about 50 kids (13% decrease in participation).

?Vashington State Department of Health reports that in 2008,
25% of 10th graders were either obese or overweight. The activities
offered by Tukwila Parks and Recreation help to combat this
growing epidemic by getting teens active and moving around. We
provide teens with creative and uplifting activities that offer a
constructive alternative to crime and develop teens into positive
community members. We serve as advocates, mentors, and role
models for teens that lead to a strengthened community, and
improved quality of life.

Adventure Camp The Resident fees were increased by $15 per week (12% increase) along with implementation
of a new Non Resident fee. As a result of the fee increase, the participation declined from an average of 34 kids
per week in 2010 to only 19 kids per week in 2011 (44% decrease in participation).
Friday Late Night Funding for Friday Late Night was reduced in 2011 by nearly 45 The Raikes Grant and level of
volunteer involvement has allowed us to continue running this program at the same service level. Although the fee
increased to $2, participation in this program is at an all -time high.
Teen Summer Camp During the budget process, funding for
Teen Summer Camp was reduced in 2011 by nearly 85 As a
result, staff had to get creative in programming. Rather than
offer a full 5 day per week program for teens, we took the best
and most popular component of the 2010 camp and
programmed for a 2 day per week trip camp. To meet the Cost
Recovery and Revenue goal, the fee was increased. The fee
proved to be too high and only 2 of the 20 trips went. The
participation decreased from an average of 23 kids per week in
2010 to 1.4 kids per week in 2011 (94% decrease). Revenue
declined in 2011 by $27,381 compared to 2010.

Survey —based programming We surveyed Tukwila Teens to help us with our summer programming. We received
great feedback with 126 responses, 93.7% residents. Based on the survey results, we are making plans to extend
our Friday Late Night program into the Summer months, as well as adding some Wednesday evening activities.
TeenVenture Camp We have re- structured our Summer Camp Program to be more responsive to the needs of the
community. TeenVenture Camp is a re -brand of Adventure Camp. Adventure Camp was for grades 5 -6. The new
TeenVenture Camp is for 6 -8.
Teen Room Re- programming some of the rooms at Tukwila Community
Center will lead to the ability for the Division to offer a Teen Room. Teen
activities are becoming a greater community need and we are experiencing
record level of participation in the Friday Late Night, and input from teens for
more activities.
