RECREATION ADMINISTRATION Profile
The Recreation Administration budget is comprised of overhead revenues and expenses associated with administering the Programming and Volunteer divisions of the Recreation Department. The budget consists of 15 full-time employees who are responsible for the coordination of volunteers and the planning and providing of recreation programs and events. The Recreation Administration budget accounts for revenues received from Fee Assistance Program donations, WDSRA reimbursements for recreation operations, and broad-based sponsorships to name a few. Expenses include aspects such as employee wages and benefits, employee certifications, training, program discounts, publications and licenses, mobile communication, program fee assistance, building rental costs
for school district facilities and leased space, and computer contracts for recreation software. In 2025 the Recreation Administration area is projected to come in lower than budgeted. This lower-than-expected expense falls within the building rental fees. This decrease is primarily due to the loss of the leased space at the Xilin Center during the fall session. In 2018 the District entered into a lease agreement with Xilin to utilize the wood floor studio space for dance and performing art classes. The District was notified by Xilin they would be moving out of this location permanently and terminating the lease. The demand for the fee assistance scholarship program is projected to remain steady at $41,000 for 2025 and 2026. The 2026 Recreation Administration budget was developed utilizing the 2025 year-end projections
and, in some cases, a 2-or 3-year average calculation. The 2026 budget also includes the reallocation of the Community Engagement and Event Manager position from the Facility Rental budget. The expenses include the full-time salary plus all fees associated with this position. The District is expecting contractual services to continue to rise as contractor costs increase. Most other areas will remain consistent with revenue and expenses compared to the 2025 year-end projections. As a result, the overall budgeted deficit for the Recreation Administration area for 2026 is approximately 8.75% or $171,976 higher than the 2025 year-end projection.
