Supplement D Financial Sustainability Strategy Report


Supplement D: Financial Sustainability Strategy Report

Overview The Financial Sustainability Three-legged Stool illustration builds on the philosophy of 110%’s Parks and Reconomics© - how parks and recreation organizations manage their finite financial resources. The Department embraced this philosophy and the exercise of creating a Cost Recovery Strategy for its parks and recreation services by following these principal steps (as illustrated in the graphic to the right).

Tax Use/Revenue Enhancement Philosophy

Cost of Service

Service Categories

Service Categories The development of categories which include services that are alike in "purpose" is important when it comes to justifiable and equitable allocation

Beneficiary of Service

of subsidy, cost recovery levels, and assignment of budget and general ledger lines to account for a category’s fiscal performance. Service categorization can lead to the diminishing of special interests and social values that can drive arbitrary investment and revenue decision making. Beneficiary of Service Beneficiary of Service evaluates each service category based on who benefits, who should pay (and to what degree).  Common Good services are accessible, of benefit to the community, and provide universal value. Essentially, they contribute to the “common good” and can be characterized as essentially having community-wide interest and far-reaching impacts.  Exclusive Benefit services provide exclusive benefit to the individual(s) and can include constraints or barriers to access. Essentially, these services benefit the individual more than the community as a whole and can be characterized as discretionary with less of a community-wide impact. Cost of Service Analysis Completion of an operational cost-of-service analysis allowed the Department to understand its cost-of-service of doing business, ultimately revealing each service’s cost recovery and subsidy investment level. Operational revenues (fees and charges, sponsorships, grants, donations), direct costs (expenses associated with the delivery of a service; without the service, the cost would not exist) and indirect costs (expenses that would exist with or without the provision of any one service) that the Department provided were captured and attributed to all services as part of this work, providing several insights that would inform the design and development of the Financial Sustainability Strategy.

Financial Sustainability Strategy Beneficiary of Service The development of categories which include services that are alike in "purpose" is important when it comes to justifiable and equitable allocation of subsidy, cost recovery levels, and assignment of budget and general ledger lines to account for a category’s fiscal performance. The benefits of this type of approach are two-fold: 1. It is inefficient for the department to determine cost recovery expectations by each individual service including facility, activity, or event 2. Categorizing by “type of service” or “likeness of service” discourages attempts to determine fees and charges (and therefore cost recovery decisions) based upon special interests, agebased services, or individual values. Service Categories are listed in order from those perceived to be Common Good Services (#1) to those seen as providing a more Exclusive Benefit (#14). Common Good Services or cause and purpose driven services intend to impact social, economic, and environmental issues and needs and align with the fundamental purpose and mission of the department. Typically, there are no like services provided by the non-profit/NonGovernmental Organizations (NGO) or private sectors. Exclusive Benefit Services or specialized services, intend to serve personal interests. Typically, there is competition with the non-profit/ Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) and private sectors which offer like services. Common Good Services (justification for greater subsidy investment)

Exclusive Benefit Services (justification for greater cost recovery expectations)

 Community building

 Individualized, special interest

 Provides accessibility to marginalized/under-represented populations

 Requires higher competency/ability level to participate

 Broad appeal to a wide audience

 Individualized services are often accessible outside of the parks and recreation system

 Services contribute to greater equity, cultural awareness, and make EVERYONE’s life better

 Specialized activities

Supplement D: Financial Sustainability Strategy Report

Financial Sustainability Strategy Process The consulting team worked closely with the BPRD team to ensure all expenses and services were identified, and to develop meaningful divisions, facility, and park areas to facilitate the appropriate attribution of expenses to services. The result is a clear picture of the total cost-ofservice guiding the development of cost recovery/subsidy investment goals. Results Results of the analysis provide a comprehensive review of fiscal year 2024, encompassing January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024. The full results from the analysis and interactive features are available in the Cost-of-Service Results excel file provided separately. Selected results from the analysis are included below.

Supplement D: Financial Sustainability Strategy Report

Financial Sustainability Strategy Community Investment Strategy Bloomington Parks & Recreation’s Community Investment Strategies present the degree to which financial resources will be spent, and expenses will be recovered and managed. These strategies shift from those that might suggest all services should be provided at no or low cost to everyone to an equitable philosophy in which subsidy allocation decisions are based on “beneficiary of service”. In this conceptualization, each type of service has specific characteristics that provide a rationale for who should pay (e.g., taxpayers, the individual, or both) and to what extent. Ultimately, this aligns subsidy allocation, cost-recovery goals, and expectations with a service's beneficiary. Two Community Investment Strategies were developed as part of the master plan process. Below is the strategy for all Department service categories.

Supplement D: Financial Sustainability Strategy Report

Financial Sustainability Strategy The alternative Community Investment Strategy was designed specifically for services within the Specialized Services Category (Cascades Golf Course, Rose Hill and White Oak Cemeteries Burial Services, Twin Lakes Recreation Center). Each of the Community Investment Strategies includes service categories and cost-recovery goals and serves as a graphic representation of the Department’s tax use and revenue enhancement philosophy.
