BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
Parks and Recreation manages several special facilities that provide enhanced recreational services to residents and visitors while also functioning as revenue-generating County assets. These facilities include Seaside Caf?, Sailfish Sands Golf Course, Restaurant and Hitting Bays, Phipps Park Campground, the Jensen Beach and Manatee Pocket Mooring Fields, and Sailfish Splash Waterpark and Pool.
The Department has developed a special facilities financial reinvestment strategy that uses operational revenue to reduce or offset subsidies where possible and establish reserve funding for future maintenance, repairs, and improvements. This strategy supports the long-term stewardship of County facilities while helping preserve service levels and reduce reliance on general fund support.
This item supports the Parks and Recreation Master Plan goals to maintain and invest in existing and new facilities, improve organizational efficiencies, and reduce operational subsidy and expand capital funding.
