Anderson, Di-4f or Parks, Recreation an. o est +/ DATE: September 13, 1983 RE: Budget Commentary - Recreation Activity Account The recreation activity account is the city's financial means for accounting for all expenditures and receipts for the city's municipal recreation programs ranging from our waterbabies swimming program on up to the Sunrise Senior Citizen's Club. Mounds View Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department currently offers approximately 125 different recreation programs on a year round basis which does not include individual sessions or account for skill levels within the specific program areas . The recreation activity account is broken down into four distinct catagories including: Youth Recreation, Adult Recreation, General Recreation and the Aquatics Program. Each of the accounts remain similar in 1984 compared to 1983 due to the fact that we completely revised our recreation activity account process in April of 1983 and at this time do not have a complete year's data from 1983 to base our 1984 recommendations upon. The major changes in the recreation activity account for 1984 will be in recreation account X6354 - Swimming. The major changes in this account have not been finalized as of yet, but we have hired a new aquatics director who is in the process of completely revising our aquatics program. We would envision that revenues would be increasing during 1984 along with a closer control on proposed expenditures. The recreation activity account shows a current deficit as of 1/1/83 of $34,434 due to the acquisition of the three new warming house shelter buildings . Projected revenue for 1983 should be in the $6,000 - $8,000 range with a similar profit proposed for 1984. In conclusion, the recreation activity account provides a very detailed, programmatic account of all recreation program activities offered by the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department . A complete detailed program listing of each individual activity is available in the Parks, Recreation and Forestry office.
