Re: PROJECT GROWTH 2004-2009
The following document was developed for board discussion and recommendations for the
upcoming fiscal year staffing needs and to forecast the potential growth impacts for
the Park and Recreation Department.. Inclusive in this document is a five-year projection.
Upon a recommendation and board comment, staff will proceed to the February
Administration Committee for acceptance and approval.
UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE
PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
PROJECT GROWTH 2004-2009
The community growth and upcoming new developments will have fiscal impacts and needs
beyond the park land contributions that will affect the on going day to day operation for the
Park and Recreation Department, with some of these occurring before and during the
development of the housing areas and tax dollar contributions.
These will include; the need for new program development; impacts on existing programs
with the increase in residents; available indoor space for recreation programs with the
growth of the community; the additional maintenance equipment and staff required to
maintain the parks before the housing development is completed and tax dollars support is
received; and the need for community wide specialty facilities.
This rapid growth prohibits the Park and Recreation Department in quickly responding to the
future needs, without additional fiscal support and for short term planning for facilities, staff,
and equipment.
The following outlines the next five years of staffing impacts that the Park and Recreation
Department could be facing based on the known new developments.
• Based on the additional Park acreage and amenities we will need additional staff
to maintain and program the areas. The Parks Standards indicate a need for an
additional full time staff for every 11-17 acres of parkland (as indicated in the
revised time study 1/16/04). Current City Owned And Maintained Parks Is
50.53 Acres
• In addition to the Parks Staff needs, we will need additional Recreation Staff to
develop and implement the new recreation services that the growth will bring.
With an average of 330-500 new homes per year, the net result will be
approximately 825-1500 new residents per year. To program and offer services a
new program supervisor/coordinator would be required every 5000 residents.
For a projected growth of 22,000 residents would require 4.4 full time
programming staff and one Superintendent of Recreation. This requirement
would change if there were specialty facilities to manage and operate such as a
pool, fitness center, aquatic center, etc.
With the re-census figures of approximately 8,700 residents our staffing need
would be two (2)full time program supervisors. Currently we have one Program
Supervisor. For the Fiscal Year 2004-2005 the staff budget would reflect
increasing to add an additional full time Recreation supervisor in November.
Following years staffing needs would reflect the growth patterns.
• New Park locations with development in progress for FY 2004-2009 (some
open of these areas are be maintained as open areas) Canonball Estates -
1.5 acres, Rivers Edge - 1.25 acres, Sunflower - 2 acres, Fox Hills West -

seasonal parks staff.
May 2007 Two full time Park Staff, one full time Administrative Assistant (Parks
Dept).
May 2009 Two full time Park Staff
In addition, to the park development and program expansion, we must also continue to
forecast the future needs the department will have for facilities, equipment and the demand
by new residents for new specialized services.
These may include indoor swimming pool, recreation buildings or gyms added to school
buildings, dance studio's, gymnastic centers, high adventure playgrounds, outdoor aquatic
center, maintenance equipment and the replacement of current equipment, Parks buildings
for the storage and maintenance of the equipment, and future overhead support we may
need if we need to pursue referendums for future facility development and funding.
APPROXIMATE COSTS FOR NEW/ RENOVATED FACILITIES
1) Park Maintenance& Garage area $400-1 million
2). Indoor Pool $2 /Aquatic Center$5-7 million

SUMMARY
In order to maintain the current level of parks, open areas, and overall maintenance, we
need to define the expense associated with maintaining per acre of property. Following
is based on 2003-2004 fiscal budget for Parks. (revised budget amounts used 1/16/04)
Salaries (Full time, Part time, Overtime and benefits) $264,867
Current For FY 03-04 /4 full time and 4 part time revised budget amounts used 1/16/04
Contractual $ 9,000
Sub total $273,867
Removed 75% of foreman's salary and benefits (foreman is more supervisor and
administration responsibilities and only accounts for 25% hands on /field work)
($68,500)
Total salaries $205,367
To determine cost per acre — utilizing current City Owned acres of 50.53
Salaries
TOTAL ACREAGES 50.53 acres = $4,064.26 per acre
Average MWI with benefits approximate cost would be $43,840— 11 acres would be the
amount for a new MWI employee
General Equipment $ 6,835
TOTAL ACREAGES 50.53 acres = $135.266 per acre
Capital Expenses for repair, and replacements $ 87,850
TOTAL ACREAGES 50.53 = $1,738.57 per acre
Infra-structure & Operational supplies $ 57,100
TOTAL ACREAGES 50.53 = $1,130.02 per acre
FORECASTING NEEDS
Using the break downs above, a conclusion could be drawn for every 11-17 acres of
new park development would require a new full time staff/ maintenance worker I, and
an additional $1487.92 in general equipment, $19,124.27in Capital Equipment, and
$12,430.22 in operational supplies
The variable for this summary will be the impact of specialty equipment and
replacement equipment and utilization of seasonal and part time staff.
To plan for a five-year (2004-2009) projection and budgeting purposes, a 40% full time
and 60% seasonal and part time staff projections of need is used. Based on the project
land development and acquisition of 443.288 acres (through 2009) the gross staffing
need is 40.30 with 40% being full time = 16 and 60% being season and part time 24.30.
To maintain this type of staffing pattern for the next five years of development and
growth would require hiring 2.6 full time staff and 4.86 part time additional staff
annually. (Current staffing includes 3 full time— in field staff, and 4 part
time/seasonal staff).

Yorkville,IL 60560 GARY RICE CELL:
My father Virgil Rice passed away in 1991. He and my mother resided in Yorkville from
1950 - Time of their death. My family has resided in Yorkville for 53 of my 56 years,having
just built a home in River's Edge Subdivision.
These are the reasons I believe a city park should be named in my father's honor:
1. He owned and operated a business in downtown Yorkville from 1951 - 1981. It was the
FS Gas station on Van Emmon Road above the current Grainco FS store and next to
the Kendall County farm bureau. The name of the business was Rice's Service.
2. During that time my father, along with a few other businessmen downtown started the
Yorkville Business Men's Association. They held regular meetings and discussed ways
to bring more business to Yorkville. This was long before a Chamber of Commerce
was ever thought of. If memory serves me right their were about 15 members.
3. He also coached Little League baseball for 5 years, and Pony League for 3 years.
4. He helped build a new baseball field where the present Middle School sits,and he and
5 other businessmen installed lights on the field. It was one of only a couple of lighted
ball fields within miles.
5. He coached the men's city league softball team and started a fourth of July annual
game with the Southsiders of town playing the Northsiders of town. This game went
on every year for over 15 years.
6. My dad was very active in the community and was known for his generosity. Many
kids would walk by his station and get free bottles of pop or candy bars just for
stopping in. I witnessed my dad giving gas to many people who could not afford it.
7. We lived at the top of Methodist Hill and my dad would close off Van Emmon Street
crossing Methodist Hill so the kids could sled without worrying about cross traffic.
With the permission of the Police Chief, my dad would have his tow truck with it's
lights flashing to stop any traffic. This made the sledding much safer and sometimes
their were as many as a hundred kids using the hill.
I am sorry but my memory has failed me on dates, etc.
I would consider it an honor if you would approve naming the park in my subdivision,Rivers
Edge after my father. I would also like to see former business men from the days when
Yorkville was a town of less than 1200 honored in some way.
Sincerely,
Gary Rice

NAMING OF PARKS POLICY
The purpose of the "Naming of Parks Policy" is to provide consistent direction for naming park
property and improvements within the United City of Yorkville.
Any citizen, group, city official, or staff may request or recommend a name for a park, building,
structure or thoroughfare within designated park property. The proposed name is to be submitted
in writing on an application form to the Executive Director of Park and Recreation or Park Board
Chairperson. All applications will be consider at their next regularly schedule meeting of the Park
Board. Upon Park Board approval and recommendation, subject proposal will than be presented
to the City Council for acceptance. If accepted by the City Council, a dedication will take place
within 90 days of approval.
The following criteria will be used when considering the selection of park related names:
1) Any person living or deceased, who has made a significant contribution in support of the
United City of Yorkville, the Park and Recreation Department operation, the state or
national park system, conservation of natural resources or in the recreation profession.
2) Any organization that contributed significantly toward improving the quality of life for the
residents of the United City of Yorkville, state or national park, conservation of natural
resources or the recreation profession.
3) The proposed name for any park building, structure or thoroughfare within a park must be
authorized by a sworn statement from the person whose name is being proposed, or if the
person is deceased, the person's immediate surviving family members. Organizations
wishing to present a proposed name for any park building, structure or thoroughfare must
submit a sworn statement signed by the current President and Secretary of said
organization.
4) No park or recreation facility or property can be named after any public official currently
holding office or person currently employed by the United City of Yorkville.
5) Names that would duplicate the name of another park, building or structure, or thoroughfare
within the United City of Yorkville will not be considered. Also, names that advocate or
endorse religion, religious beliefs, posses obscene connotations, or demean or attempt to
intimidate any individual or group based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, disability, or sexual
orientation within the United City of Yorkville will not be considered.
6) The Park Board and staff will review and discuss the naming of park submittals during their
regular monthly meeting. Upon their consideration, the Park Board will seek a majority vote
in favor of naming a park, facility, structure, or thoroughfare. A recommendation, on behalf
of the Park Board, will then be taken to the City Council for final approval. The Park Board
may direct/suggest staff to conduct public contests for the naming of parks, buildings,
structures, or thoroughfares within City park property. Exceptions to this policy may be
considered upon recommendations by the Park Board with approval of the City Council.

Memo
To: Park Board
From: Sue Swithin

Cc: Laura Brown,file,
Re: Basketball Hoops (New Intermediate School)
Park Board —
On 1-8-04 Dan wrote a letter to Brian DeBolt and Steve Bjork asking the about the
possibility to change the permanent backboards to manual adjusted backboards for
the New Intermediate School.
Dan received a quote from Porter and gave it to Brian, Laura and myself. I called
Porter to ask what the time frame would be for construction. I then called Brian to
discuss this idea. Brian returned my call on 1-27-04.
I told Brian that I needed to get Board approval for any purchase and that we would
only be interested in upgrades to 4 basketball hoops, and that they be the manual
height adjusters, approx. $2,400 in costs. Four hoops would allow for two games, six
hoops would allow for more stations and one more game.
Brian indicated to me on the phone that the School Dist. would not have a need for
adjusters for the grade levels that will be attending the school and that he didn't think
they would,pay for the upgrade. I told Brian I would get back to him ASAP after
submitting the request at the next Park Board meeting
On 1-26-04 I received a copy of a PO from the School Dist. for 6 electric adjusters for
the New Intermediate School, in the amount of$6,180.00. I immediately called Brian
and asked what the copy of thelPO was for? He informed me that due to the
construction time frame if the electrical adjusters were going to be installed they had to
be ordered immediately and the wiring had to begin.
He stated over the phone they decided to pay for the upgrades and if the Recreation
Department would donate to the cost it would be appreciated. I didn't promise
anything and stated that I would take the request to the Park Board.

In summary, even though a review of the School Agreement needs to take place, and
there is no guarantee as to the future use of the gymnasium, I anticipate using this
gymnasium for our toddler and Bitty Basketball program during the next school year
and in the future.
They currently do not have mounted 8 foot baskets in any gyms. This height is used
for 2"d grade and below. The upgrade to adjusted hoops will allow for more programs
at many age levels.
The YMCA in Piano currently has these adjusted hoops in their gym and they use
them for the same purpose.
I would like to see us assist in some way with the cost for the upgrade that the School
District ordered. I believe it shows "good faith" on our part. We began the discussion
and they supported our idea.
I would draft a letter stating the financial contribution from us and list the possible hours
and activities that we plan on scheduling at that facility.
Sincerely,
, 111P

Memorandum
To: Brian DeBolt, School District 115
From: Dan Hebreard, Yorkville Parks & Recreation Department
Re: Adjustable Basketball Hoops for new district school
As your district is adding a new intermediate school we would like to propose that adjustable
baskets be added in the gyms. I have received a quote from Porter that would add $600 per
basket for adjustable backboards. The City of Yorkville would be interested in helping to support
this. With the current school/city use agreement this would allow both groups to use these hoops.
Please let me know if you are interested in discussing this project further. Thank you for your time
and consideration.
I have included the quote from Porter.
