In other words, the only increases allowable are those necessary to accommodate items previously authorized by Council. Examples of acceptable forecast items that increase the Department’s budget are: • Costs of a new facility that will be opened part-way through FY 2022 • Costs related to annexations or new facilities • Lease increases, legislative directives, contractual commitments Unmet Needs: Due to current financial limitations related to property tax caps and the COVID-19 response, unmet needs are not being accepted from Departments for expanded programing, services or personnel, etc., unless it qualifies as a base cost driver. Unmet needs may be addressed using the following opportunities: • Community Requests • Council Actions • Boards and Commissions Recommendations 5 Department Budget Overview FY 2022 Zero Budget Impact FTEs Requested positions, preliminary funded by fees or the reallocation current funding Landscape Architect II – Preliminary funded by parkland dedication fees Forester, Forestry Specialist, (2) Forestry Technician Senior, (3) Forestry Technician – Preliminary funded by existing Forestry budget, work to be done in house instead of contracted Plumber I - Preliminary funded by existing Aquatics budget, work to be done in house instead of contracted Coordinator , Program Development – Preliminary funded by existing Administration budget IT Application Developer Sr - Preliminary funded by existing Administration budget 6 Department Budget Overview FY 2022 Adjustments Meet Business Needs Equity Coordinator – Internal position has been reclassed to meet business needs and will preform the following duties: • • • Implement, monitor and evaluate the Parks and Recreation Department specific Equity Assessment recommendations and associated outcomes Facilitate and manage the Parks and Recreation Department’s Long Range Plan strategies and associated outcomes through an equity lens Establish department accountability and performance measures for specific work projects related to the Equity Assessment and Long-Range Plan Temporary Employee funding is being reallocated to meet the following needs: • Department Wide Security Internal Auditing • • FEMA Reconciliation 7 General Fund Department Revenue Forecast FY21 Budget Revenue of $14.5 million FY21 Projected Revenue of $4.2 million The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact on PARD’s FY21 revenue budget.
