<br />CASE # 2 <br /> <br />CONSIDER SUPPORT FOR ANOKA AQUATIC CENTER FOR 2008 <br />By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer II <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City has supported the Anoka Aquatic Center with a cash contribution for the past <br />ten (10) years. The issue has beeri addressed at the Finance Committee and Council <br />meetings with the decision being to continue on a year to year basis. This program is <br />supported from the charitable gambling fund, so it should be reviewed by the Park and <br />Recreation Commission then forwarded to the City Council for action. The last several <br />years the Parks and Recreation Commission has recommended the funds directed towards <br />a community center or pool in Ramsey and not be used to support the Anoka Pool. The <br />City Council changed the Lawful Gambling Policy to increase the amount the City <br />receives and how the funds can be used. There is another case on the agenda discussing <br />the use of charitable gambling funds for program support. <br /> <br />Observation: <br /> <br />The historical data is presented below: <br /> <br />Participation <br />(Ramsey Residents) <br />Family Passes <br />(individuals <br />covered) <br /> <br />1998 <br />1999 <br />2000 <br />2001 <br />2002 <br />2003 <br />2004 <br />2005 <br />2006 <br />2007 <br /> <br />393 <br />454 <br />260 <br />328 <br />284 <br />275 <br />298 <br />340 <br />322 <br />308 <br /> <br />Totals <br /> <br />3,262 <br /> <br />Total Participants <br /> <br />Average <br />Resident <br />Participation! <br />year <br /> <br />Lessons <br />237 <br />271 <br />199 <br />218 <br />120 <br />173 <br />179 <br />253 <br />219 <br />191 <br /> <br />2,060 <br /> <br />5,322 <br /> <br />326 200 <br /> <br />Fee Savings <br />Pass <br /> <br />2008 Rates <br />Res $37 <br /> <br />Fee Savings <br /> <br />Family Passes <br />$3,930.00 <br />4,540.00 <br />2,598.00 <br />3,280.00 <br />2,848.00 <br />2,750.00 <br />2,980.00 <br />3,400.00 <br />3,220.00 <br />3,080.00 <br /> <br />Lessons <br />$1,896.00 <br />2,168.00 <br />1,592.00 <br />1,744.00 <br />960.00 <br />1,384.00 <br />1,432.00 <br />2,214.00 <br />1,971.00 <br />1,910.00 <br /> <br />City Contrib. <br />$4,000 <br />4,000 <br />4,000 <br />4,000 <br />4,000 <br />4,000 <br />4,000 <br />4,000 <br />4,000 <br />4,000 <br /> <br />$32,626.00 $17,271.00 <br /> <br />$40,000.00 <br /> <br />$49,897.00 <br />
