PARKS AND RECREATION 2018 BUDGET PRESENTATION CITY OF SACO

MAJOR INFLUENCES The Parks and Recreation Department has not been budgeted the full cost of operations since the current • growth mode was entered in 2006. For the first nine years, we were allowed to use the overages in revenues to cover the cost overruns in operations to encourage growth in the department. Due to the recent citizen referendum and legislative action, the current minimum wage has been raised from $7.50 per hour to • $9.00 per hour effective January 1, 2017. We have absorbed the increase within our current budget but it is reflected in our RADS for next year and will be present for subsequent years. The majority of our staff are younger who are subject to this mandatory wage increase and if not affected this year, they will be affected in the upcoming years. You will also begin to see corresponding increases in our fee structure when it comes before council. It is important to note that increases in fees sometimes mean that the parents make the choice not to use services over the cost. With the combination of the minimum wage increasing to over $12.00 in the near future and our department’s operational • budget not increasing to the extent that our budgeted revenues have, we are in the position of continuing to over spend budget to provide reasonably priced services for the citizens of the City. We offer a council adopted Financial Assistance Program that has distributed $430,000 of City tax dollars to City residents • since 2006 or approximately 6% of our annually budgeted revenues. This has gone on to help over 381 families. This means that just under 500 children have been offered our summer and school year camp programs at reduced rates where they may never have been able to experience camp otherwise.
