SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

Customer
measures are new and no historical data is available. Data collection will commence in FY 2005.
-
Declining
ability to meet prescribed skilled trades preventive maintenance in buildings,
comfort stations, basketball and tennis courts, field and court poles, as
scheduled, is due to the aging and outdated infrastructure. This increases cost
and time to make repairs needed at these facilities. For example, the average building age since renovation is 40
years. The average age of an asphalt
court is 32 years, far in excess of the national average life of asphalt
playing surfaces of 20 years. Our
wooden poles' average age is 31 years old, also beyond their life expectancy of
18 years. The national average age of
an asphalt parking lot is 20 years and the average age of our parking lots is
37 years.
-
The
increase in tennis courts/sq.ft. to be maintained is that Arlington Schools
returned Williamsburg, Stratford and Swanson courts to the County.
FUTURE BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS:
-
Costs for maintenance continue to increase on DPRCR
buildings and facilities due to aging infrastructure and new facility
responsibilities.
-
Costs for maintenance of ornamental fountains at Dark
Star Park, Gateway Park, Crandall Mackey, and Clarendon Park and water feature
at Powhatan Springs Park. (Future pump and filter repairs). Funding to cover
cost of utilities and maintenance for the following restrooms open year round:
Fort Scott Park, Hayes Park, Alcova Heights Park and Lacey Woods Park.
-
When the construction is completed for Greenbrier Park
and North Tract, funding will be needed to address maintenance needs.
-
Maintenance
costs associated with Small Parks Grant Program and NC Program for such
amenities as new drinking fountains, park benches, and kiosks.
