SUBJECT:
PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING THE COMMUNITY'S NEXT 10-YEAR ACTION PLAN, KNOWN AS OV'S PATH FORWARD
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for informational and discussion purposes only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The path to Oro Valley's future begins now! Residents of all ages and experiences are encouraged to come together to discuss, collaborate, share ideas and listen
to one another to renew the community's vision, goals and priorities for Oro Valley. This project was kicked-off with the broader community at the State of the Town
on October 25.
The plan, also known as a General Plan, is one of the community's most meaningful opportunities to guide town actions and get results and make their vision a
reality. Community ownership and participation is critical to creating a plan that is reflective of the community but also stays relevant for a 10-year timeframe.
Prioritizing residents' voices through an inclusive and accessible process was emphasized in the resident-driven Community Engagement Plan. The steps below were
completed to ensure the guiding principles in the engagement plan are achieved.
Preparations for the launch
January - March 2023 (Community Engagement Plan) - In preparation for launching out to the broader community, a Community Engagement Plan was
adopted by the Town Council. This award-winning plan was built by residents through an advisory group and a town-wide survey. It provides the foundation for
this effort by identifying guiding principles, such as being accessible and inclusive, and the methods to engage the community online or at businesses, events,
etc.
March - September 2023 (Background Reports) - As part of the launch and ongoing outreach, short videos and facts about topics important to the community
were created and will be released throughout the next 4 months on OVPathForward.com. The community is invited to read, watch and discuss topics such as
housing, public safety, water, environmental conservation, and much more!
September - October 2023 (Branding) - The resident advisory group regrouped to help shape the branding for this effort. Key aspects of the project's branding
include showcasing Oro Valley's authentic beauty and exemplifying the community. The following tasks are part of the ongoing effort to have an inclusive and
accessible process:
Developing surveys
Refining schedules to include a variety of engagement opportunities
Assigning staff to specific engagement tools and events
Designing and ordering promotional materials, such as flyers, brochures, stickers and more.
Selecting and launching a new specialized and interactive website that features community engagement tools (e.g. discussion boards, polls, etc.).
Recruiting volunteers and ambassadors to help spread the word and gather feedback
Community engagement
Over the next year, substantial community engagement will be conducted in-person and online through events, discussion or social media posts, surveys and more.
Community participation and ownership is key to this effort to be successful and to producing an actionable plan that remains relevant for a 10 year timeframe.
To start the conversation and develop the community's vision and guiding principles, the following three questions will be asked:
What do you like best about Oro Valley?
What do you think will be Oro Valley's biggest challenges in the next 10 years?
What should Oro Valley be known for?
These comments are just the start of many opportunities to learn from the community. Focused conversations about topics important to the community, such as
housing, public safety, roadways, parks, the environment and water will occur over the next four months.
Next steps
This update is the first of many that will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Routine updates will be provided throughout the next year to
summarize key milestones, such as:
Feedback from the community related to their vision, guiding principles and focused topics.
Findings from a town-wide statistically-valid survey
Reflecting the community's vision and guiding principles
Over the next three years, the community will work on creating the next 10-year action plan. Volunteers and ambassadors are needed to help ensure everyone's voice
is heard. Please signup to volunteer and join the conversation by going online or out in the community at restaurants, events, or shops now. Learn more at
OVPathForward.com.

Meeting Date:11/14/2023
Submitted By:David Gephart, Finance
SUBJECT:
DISCUSSION OF COMMUNITY CENTER FINANCIAL RESULTS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2023
RECOMMENDATION:
N/A - this item is for discussion only
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In attempt to provide more information regarding the Town Community Center Fund and golf, staff will begin
making regular financial reports to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) and this is the first of such
reports. The attached report covers the first quarter of the fiscal year, July through September 2023.
Attachment C-1 shows consolidated Community Center Fund revenues and expenditures through September, other
financing uses, and year-end estimates for each category.
Attachment C-2 shows the monthly line-item detail for the contractor-managed operations, specifically revenues
and expenditures associated with golf, and food and beverage operations. The totals in the revenue and
expenditure categories in attachment C-2 tie to the contracted operating revenues and expenditures in attachment
C-1.
Attachment C-3 shows contractor operations for 36-hole, Pusch Ridge and F&B separately, as well as capital
investments for golf, half cent sales tax collections, and HOA contributions.
The estimated year-end projections in the Community Center Fund are as follows:
Revenues $9,949,900
Less:
Expenditures ($8,505,590)
Transfers Out ($1,717,203)
Preliminary Estimated Decrease in Fund Balance: ($272,893)
Estimated FY24 Year-end Fund Balance $735,340
Please note the negative fund balance on Attachment D is expected to be temporary and is due to the transfer out
to debt service posted in July.
Community Center Fund Revenues
Revenues in the Community Center Fund through September total $2.0 million or 21.0% of the budget
amount of $9.7 million.
Contracted operating revenues total $0.9 million as of September, which is about $141,000 or 18.7% greater
than the same time last fiscal year. Contracted revenues are estimated to come in on budget.
Town operating revenues for September are about $0.3 million or 23.1% of the budget amount of $1.2 million.
Town operating revenues are expected to end the fiscal year about $171,000 higher than budget due mainly
to member dues. Recreation programs, daily drop-ins and facility rental income are also expected to exceed
budget expectations.
Local sales tax revenues for September total about $0.9 million or 22.9% of the budget amount of $3.7
million. These collections are currently projected to come in $49,000 or 1.3% above budget, due to positive
trends in retail, remote seller, and hotel/motel collections.
Community Center Fund Uses
Expenditures in the Community Center Fund total $1.9 million or 22.5% of the budgeted amount of $8.4
million.
Contracted operating expenditures total $1.3 million, or 26.6% of the budgeted amount of $5.0 million.
Contracted expenditures are currently estimated to come in on budget.
Town operating expenditures total $0.4 million or 26.2% of budget and are currently estimated to come in
approximately $65,000 over budget due to trending of personnel costs, as well as contracted program
instructors.
Transfers out are expected to end the year on budget. Note that actuals through September reflect the full
year budgeted transfer out to debt service.
At this time, the Community Center Fund is projected to end the fiscal year with a total fund balance of
$735,340.
The Town is expecting sales tax support to be $65,182 for golf operations for the current fiscal year. Contracted
operations have a budgeted net loss of $355,778 before outside HOA contributions of $159,050, and local sales
taxes generated from golf related operations estimated at $131,546.
