Expenditure – Revenue Comparison
(Annual Estimates)
  • Facility at Facility at
  • Category     McCormick Park Playfair Park Playfair/50
  • Revenues            $454,416 $393,345 $444,579
  • Expenditures*     $635,030* $365,713 $448,452

  • Total Aquatic Subsidy -152,982
  • Subsidy Budget 125,000
  • Net Difference -27,982
  • It should be noted that the financial performance of an outdoor aquatic center is directly related to the weather.  A very warm, dry summer will result in higher revenues while a wet cool season will greatly impact attendance and revenues.  This pro-forma is based on an average summer season.

  • * Admin Cost Savings figured on vacating 100 Hickory  $7,100.
11
Projected Fee Schedule
  • The following fee schedules have been figured utilizing a fee differential of approximately 25% for non-district residents (outside of the city limits).  A non-resident fee differential of greater than 25% is not recommended as users from outside the city need to be encouraged to use the aquatic facilities on a regular basis.  Revenue projections and attendance numbers were calculated from these fee models.
