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 14 full- time employees who are responsible for the coordination of volunteers and the planning and offering 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 2024 the Recreation Administration area is projected to come in higher than budgeted. Higher-than-expected expenses for registration software technical support, and building rental fees, due to the increased level of registration for programs, is the primary reason for the increase, coupled with the overage in wages and benefits. The demand for the scholarship program has bounced back with a 17% increase ($41,000) over
budget and a 36% increase over 2023. The 2025 Recreation Administration budget was developed utilizing the 2024 year-end projections and, in some cases, a 2-or 3-year average calculation. The District is expecting the contractual services to continue to rise as the costs continue to increase. Most other areas will be consistent with revenue and expenses to be similar to the 2024 year-end projections. As a result, the overall budgeted deficit for the Recreation Administration area is a little over 9.0% or $175,714 higher than the 2024 budget.
