<br />REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSIONER
<br />
<br />Year in Review
<br />
<br />Financial Report
<br />
<br />Mr. DiSalvo said the year-end income financial report is official. As you know, the expense report is
<br />unofficial, but the way things are budgeted out, he could say with almost 100% certainty that the
<br />Parks and Recreation Department’s expenses will be the final report as well.
<br />
<br />The Commissioner began with the income. This is the first year since Mr. DiSalvo has been at the
<br />Rec that every cost center actually made their budget. Not only did they make the total Rec budget,
<br />but every cost center did. Going down the first page entitled “2008 Monthly Revenue Report”,
<br />Enrichment shows 2007 income as 119,500. This year’s budget was 123,000; she came in at 123,733,
<br />so she finished 613 ahead of budget. Pool, which last meeting it was thought the budget would not be
<br />met, this year’s budget was 183,300, she came in at 186,734, so she finished 3,434 ahead, which was
<br />incredible. With Rink, we knew Betsy was going to make it with the last report being 20,000 behind;
<br />budgeted for 414,400, came in at 422,090, so she exceeded her budget by 7,690. In Tennis, Pat is
<br />steady as usual, but she was behind at this time last month as well; she was budgeted for 131,150, and
<br />she finished 2,545 ahead of budget at 133,695. In Gymnastics, Karrie had the best year ever. She was
<br />budgeted for 141,150; she came in at 165,444, finishing 24,294 ahead, coming in with the variance
<br />from the prior year of 25,136 ahead of budget. Last, but not least, Chris Wetmore finished ahead of
<br />his income budget by 970.
<br />
<br />Mr. DiSalvo said that he is very proud of his team; they said they were going to pull it out, and they
<br />did. He could not give them enough acclaim.
<br />
<br />The next page, the Rec Programs Income Statement Comparison, just gives the details. The last five
<br />thththth
<br />days of 2008 – on December 30 we were at 7,300; on the 29, 4,600; on the 28, 2,200, 27, 3,000.
<br />That last week of December accumulated to 21,000, so right up until the last day, the Rec was making
<br />money, and we were closed on New Year’s Eve. That evening the Rec was catching up on some
<br />maintenance issues such as painting and replacing light bulbs. Literally, until the last day possible, the
<br />Rec was bringing in some significant income.
