Commission History
The Charleston County Park, Recreation and Tourist Commission was created in 1968 as a county special purpose district by an act of the South Carolina legislature. The original act was amended in 1972, authorizing the Commission to promote Charlestons historical and tourist attractions, to create and operate countywide parks and recreation facilities, and to provide technical assistance to existing park and recreation agencies and community groups. In July 1985, the Commissions tourism function was transferred to the Charleston Trident Chamber of Commerce. The Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission represents one of the most unique park and recreation agencies in the State of South Carolina.

The Commission has specific areas of responsibility that are defined through our legislative act. The Commission is charged with the responsibility to provide park and recreation services, but not to duplicate services provided by the other municipalities and special recreation districts existing in the area. One of the prime responsibilities of the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission is the development of a countywide park system. These parks are generally of a size and scope that would not be developed by other municipalities and public services districts. The park system emphasizes passive activities, outdoor recreation, environmental education and public beach access. Each park facility offers a variety of programming generally directed toward the natural features and characteristics of the site. Another prime area of responsibility is the delivery of recreation services for areas of the county lacking those services. Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission provides these services through the Community Education Program, a partnership with the Charleston County School District. The staff and commission of the Charleston County Park and Recreation are committed to maintaining high standards in the delivery of leisure services and facilities to the citizens of Charleston County.

The Budget Letter


To: Members of Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission Members of Charleston County Council Citizens of Charleston County

The Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission is pleased to present this budget for the 2011-2012 fiscal years. This budget represents the fourteenth consecutive year that the Commission has relied on self generated revenue, transfers of available funding between funds, and the use of available fund balance to avoid an increase in money received through property taxes. With this being a reassessment year it has been brought to the attention of the Commission that in order to remain revenue neutral it will be necessary to increase the General Operating millage by .1 mills. The Commission has added that adjustment to the current budget. Our overall budget goal this year was to analyze the percentage increase in spending to insure that future spending does not outpace future revenue. Our plan is to decrease the percentage of spending related to the recent history of spending. With the addition of over 5,000 acres of newly acquired parkland our challenge will be to create a plan that will allow for the future planning and development of the park system. We have been very diligent in recent years in holding the line on new programs and offerings that could drive up the cost of our operations due to economic uncertainty. We feel as if the economic downturn in our economy will continue. While there remains a significant degree of risk in the business climate, we feel there are some areas where we should and must expand in order to serve areas of the community. The financial foundation of our park system is grounded in the enterprise approach. It will be essential to bring on some new programs to insure our own economic growth. The recent Commission focus during the existing fiscal year has been on completing the purchase of park land for future use. The Commission is determined to continue to leverage its funding wherever possible in order to maximize its purchasing power as we have with the recent 30 million dollar bond that will all be paid back within our current millage limits. In addressing our needs, we gave great scrutiny to the level of revenue projected based on estimated attendance at our facilities. As in years past, we will continue efforts to address the needs of the local population who may defer an out of town vacation and become part of the growing staycationers that will take more advantage of the resources available to them in the Charleston area. Imperative to achieving our goals is that we continue to offer the same level of service in the coming year that we have maintained in the past. This means funding the programs and staff at a level that our users expect from their park and recreation system. This will become a greater challenge due to our anticipated reduction in property tax revenue associated with the reduction in real estate values. Commission goals for the coming year revolve around planning. The Commission has agreed to provide assistance in accomplishing a master plan which will provide a roadmap for the foreseeable future. . We have experienced significant growth over the last few years. Attendance and revenue has increased each year. We are proud of this as many businesses have experienced a downturn as a result of a weak economy. CCPRC today is as vibrant as it ever has been. We expect 2011-2012 to continue with that growth. One project that I am particularly interested in highlighting in this budget is the planning for, and stabilization of McLeod Plantation. We are proud that this historic site will now be in the public hands for everyone to enjoy. One of the foundation blocks of CCPRC is our efforts in Historic Preservation. McLeod Plantation will allow us to build upon an already successful interpretation efforts of the agency. By the completion of the 2011-2012 budget year, McLeod Plantation will be in full operation for the citizens to enjoy. As always, the maintenance of our current facilities is our extreme importance. As highlighted in last years budget, most of our park system was built in the 1990s and has been in relatively new condition, requiring little maintenance. As these facilities have aged, there has been an increasing need and cost to keep them in satisfactory condition. This will not change. Current and future maintenance projects are going to increase funding requirements significantly over the next several years. In an effort to fund these projects in the most efficient manner.

The Budget Letter continued...


We are going to continue with our development of a multi-year capital improvement plan to focus on the next generation of revenue producing facilities that can be used to offset the need for future increases in tax revenue. The Commission has been fortunate to have facilities that are in demand by the patrons of the park and recreation system. These programs and facilities generate a significant portion of the revenue that has enabled the Commission to hold the line on increases in its tax millage. Many of these programs and facilities have little room to grow their revenue base beyond where it is at the present time. The additional opportunities made available to the public should increase park attendance and usage, as well let those who use our facilities share in the cost of their operations. Over the past several years, the park and recreation programs have generated slightly more than fifty five percent of the total operating revenue needed to operate the park system. During the next fiscal year we expect to receive word on the selected route of the new I-526 route from James Island to Highway 17. The selected route could have a major impact on the James Island County Park. During this time we will be analyzing and discussing our options for a revised master plan for the park based on the impact of the final selected route. It is our desire to work with both State and Local officials to assist with the transportation needs of the area while maintaining the recreational activities of the park. Over the last several years, the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission has been budgeting Fund Balance or transfers of funding from other available sources to balance our budget and avoid a request for increased millage. We have been fortunate that upon the final execution of those budgets we have not had to use as much of our reserves as budgeted. This fiscal year we project a deficit in our operations that will be funded by our existing fund balance. We are also going to use fund balance from our Debt Service Fund, that is in excess of that required by our financial policies, to self fund a new capital project. We project that we will have sufficient fund balance in both our operating and debt service funds at the end of fiscal year 2012 to be within the range targeted by Commission policies. The 2011-2012 fiscal year will provide the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission the continued opportunity to focus on efficient and effective operation of the facilities within our outstanding park system while assessing the need and ability for future growth.. This budget reflects our belief that while the Commission operates many diverse facilities and programs, they are all part of one Park and Recreation System. Each facility or program plays its part in that system. Those facilities and programs that generate a surplus provide funding for those that are intended to meet an identified need of Charleston County. In planning for our future growth we will look to continue to seek opportunities to provide quality recreational opportunities at a reasonable cost to the citizens of Charleston County. With the execution of this budget, we feel that our mission of improving the quality of life in Charleston County will once again be accomplished. We look forward to continuing our positive relationship with Charleston County Council and staff.

Respectfully submitted,

Tom ORourke, Executive Director

The Budget Process

The Commission used a hybrid zero-based/program oriented budgeting process. Each budgeting unit is given a target funding level based upon the previous years funding level. Any new program or new expenditure must be justified throughout the budgeting process.

The revenue projection for the new fiscal year begins with a zero based approach. The overall goal of the Commission is to maintain a stable level of taxation on the citizens of Charleston County while keeping services and standards high.

The Commission receives public input through surveys, other correspondence, and monthly public commission meetings.

When each budgeting unit has completed their budget proposal to the Executive Director the information is input into a computer system for compilation and analysis. Workbooks are printed and used for review and reference during the budget process.

The budget packet is due to Charleston County April 15, 2011. It is presented to the Countys Finance Committee on June 2, 2111 by the Executive Director.

A Public hearing by Council will be held on June 7, 2011. Charleston County Citizens or any other individuals have the opportunity to attend the Charleston County Council meeting for the second reading of the ordinance to make a formal comment either for or against the proposed budget.

Third reading of Budget Ordinances by Charleston County Council will be on June 16, 2011 for final approval.

Budget maintenance is a year-round activity for the directors and the Commission. In addition to spending controls, and position control review, the Executive Director and the Superintendent of Administrative Services in the form of a Funds Adjustment must approve any unbudgeted expenses. Fund Adjustments of greater than $25,000 require Commission approval. Transfers of any amount in the excess of $25,000 up to $100,000, approval must be sought from the Charleston County Administrator. Fund Adjustments in the excel of $100,000 must have approval from the Charleston County Council.

Since Fiscal year 1995-1996, there has been a mid-year budget review by the Budget Office of Charleston County Government.

Budget OverviewGeneral Fund continued...


Delinquent Taxes. Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission receives taxes collected by the Charleston County Treasurer's Office for Delinquent Taxes from past Fiscal Years paid during the current year.

Intergovernmental Revenue. Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission from time to time contracts with other governmental agencies to perform work or manage contracts for work on their facilities. That work is similar to work we perform on similar facilities owned by the Commission. The Commission is reimbursed for the cost of these projects by the owner of those facilities.

TIF Refunds. There are seven Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) Districts within Charleston County that were created to fund improvements to those areas and stimulate economic growth. The assessed value of property within those districts is not separated from other assessed property when determining the Ad Valorem millage for the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission. During the Fiscal Year, all tax millage received on property within Charleston County is remitted to Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission, including that allocated for the TIF Districts. At the end of the Fiscal Year, the Charleston County Assessor's Office calculates the value of taxes that should go to the TIF Districts and forwards that amount to the Charleston County Treasurer's Office. The Charleston County Treasurer will then withhold future tax collections from the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission until the full amount due to the TIF Districts is satisfied. Since the full amount of the tax levy is remitted to the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission, that amount is shown as budgeted tax millage. The estimated amount of the future tax revenue that will be withheld by the Treasurer's Office for the TIF Districts is recorded at a TIF Refund. The amount of Ad Valorem taxes received by the Agency is the net amount of these two amounts.

Interest Income. Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission receives interest income from Checking and Money Market Accounts. In FY 2006 all interest earned was posted into the General Fund, past years were split with the Enterprise Fund. The decrease of $20,000 in the FY 2011 Budget is due to budgeting based on previous years actual.

Other Income. The Commission uses Other income to record miscellaneous income, and miscellaneous programming. FY2012 shows an increase of $148,460 due to timber resale at undeveloped agency property and new for this year Junior Lifeguard Camps moved to the General Fund from the Beach Parks, to be consistent with the other camps offered by Charleston County PRC.

Sponsorships Income. Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission offers sponsorships to local Businesses to enhance our Special Events. This revenue is used to promote Special Events and the Holiday Festival of Lights at James Island County Park. In FY 2012 sponsorship income will post directly into the Enterprise Fund, not the General Operating fund due to the restructuring of the agencys accounts.

Transfers In. The Transfers In represent income from other funds within the Agency. Included in the FY 2012 Budget is a $400,000 transfer from the Debt Service Fund to the General Fund to maintain and repair facilities within the County Park System.

Personnel Services. Personnel Services is the Agency's largest General Fund expenditure, it represents 63% of all operating expenditures.

Each Division Director reports to an Superintendent. In FY 2012 the Commission moved five positions to the Enterprise Funds and moved two positions from James Island County Park to the General Agency budget. The agency moved to the South Carolina State Health Insurance Plan July 1, 2010. There are 95 full-time positions in the FY 2012 Budget.

Capital Improvements Fund
The Capital Improvement Program accounts for the design, construction, or purchase of the buildings, infrastructure, technology, and major equipment that comprises the foundation of our Park and Recreation system. The individual components of the Program are addressed separately during the year and decisions made as to funding. Capital Finance is an annual borrowing from a financial institution to provide funding for the purchase of new and replacement vehicles, heavy equipment, recreation equipment, technology, and other items that have a useful life longer than the budget year and a higher dollar threshold. Repayment of the borrowing is from the Debt Service Fund and approximates the useful life of the assets usually no less than three years. Capital Planning and Construction 2012 is the projected amount of upcoming approved bonding and projects. The Commission is in the process of developing a multi-year Capital Improvement Program that will encompass all areas of capital projects for the Agency. This program will provide Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission with a much broader scope of projects to be undertaken over the foreseeable future. To be included in this program is the roll of master plans in future development of the park system, a multi year financial plan for construction or renovation of facilities, the need for capital maintenance and replacement of Commission assets, and a higher degree of information for decision makers and users of capital projects reporting. Capital Planning and Construction 2011 represents the amount of previously approved bonding and projects that remain to be completed. The Grants and Intergovernmental areas are approximations of amounts awarded to the Commission over previous years. Funding for these areas comes from specific awards with revenues matching the expenditures that will be incurred on the projects. If awards and agreements are not received during the Fiscal Year these funds are not available for expenditures of the Commission.

Capital Improvements FundBond Construction
Issue/Need: Maintenance, Repair, and Additions funded by the General Obligation Bond of 2006. Our existing developed fa-

cilities are in need of repair and renovation while demand for park and recreation facilities continues to grow. The Commission has recommended the implementation of a Capital Improvement Program to maintain our existing assets while at the same time providing for the needed growth of recreation opportunities for the residents of Charleston County. A multi-year canvas of our facilities has resulted in a systematic schedule of repair/replacement of our current assets. This schedule will be updated by the Commission annually and adjusted as necessary to insure the proper maintenance, availability, and safety of our facilities. The Commission recommends funding to provide additions and improvements at our existing facilities to enhance the publics enjoyment and safety.

Capital Improvements FundCapital Finance
ISSUE/NEED: There are a large number of capital items due for replacement and new items needed as the result of growth

within the park system. In the coming year the Agency will be completing a three year build out of our Wide Area Network Upgrade and replacing network servers. In addition, we will be replacing older items in our motor pool, golf carts, and heavy equipment for park maintenance and operations, purchasing recreation, safety, and food service equipment, and other capital items to improve the public's enjoyment of the parks. To ease cash flow and to pay for the items over their expected useful lives, the agency intends to finance these items using municipal lease financing. Municipal lease financing will be repaid from millage collected in the Debt Service Fund. The Agency has increased its use of funding capital needs to short term municipal financing from a pay as you go approach.

Solution:

Provide a fund for replacement and addition of capital assets with multiple year life spans.

Debt Service RequirementsFiscal Year 2011-2012

Principle and interest payments on General Obligation Bonds of the Agency are determined by the specific document that governs each bond issuance. Interest is paid semi-annually while principle is usually once per year. Principal and interest for the Agencys debt is appropriated in the fiscal year in which it becomes due and payable. The Commission has historically kept its debt in shorter maturities with a more rapid amortization than traditionally used for governmental borrowings. This has resulted in lower borrowing costs and a lower overall cost to the taxpayer. Bonded debt is issued for essential capital expenditures that would not be feasible to finance through annual appropriations of tax millage. The 2000 Wannamaker Park Expansion Bond had a 15-year amortization. This bond was completely defeased during Fiscal Year 2006 through an advance refunding. The new refunded bonds have an amortization schedule that retires the remaining debt within the same time frame as the original issue; however there is a cost savings to the Agency of $378,000 due to lower interest costs. There is also an additional cash flow savings to the Agency in the early years of the refunded bonds. Funding for the original bond was appropriated in the Debt Service Fund and transferred to the Wannamaker Park Enterprise Fund for payment. Funding for the new refunded bond is being appropriated for and will be paid from the Debt Service Fund. The Commission issued $7,040,000 during Fiscal Year 2006 to fund our Capital Improvement Program. These bonds will be retired over a 15 year amortization period. Repair, Maintenance, and Expansion projects being funded by these bonds were completed during Fiscal 2009. It is the plan of the Commission to issue similar debt obligations no more than every three years in order to fund our long range CIP Program. Additional debt may be issued from time to time to cover other more specific needs of the Commission. In Fiscal Year 2006, the taxpayers of Charleston County approved the issuance of $36 million of bonds funded by a one half cent sales tax. The proceeds of the bonds are to be used by the Commission to purchase land for future parks within the County. The debt and associated payments on this debt is administered by Charleston County Government. In Fiscal Year 2012 the Commission plans an issuance of $30 million of bonds to be used to reimburse the Agency for land purchased not covered by the one half cent sales tax, continued capital repairs for existing parks and to start master plans/building on new properties. The Commission annually funds capital equipment items through the use of Capital fleet/equipment financing arrangements with local financial institutions. These leases usually have a 3-5 year maturity. The total debt service for FY 2012 is $4,832,790. The Debt Service Millage is 1.9 mills with the value of the mil $2,764,970. The retirement of the 2003 and 2004 General Obligation Bonds will reduce the future need for the additional millage in this fund. The Agency transferred 1 mill to the General Fund from the Debt Service Fund during Fiscal Year 2006 and an additional .1 mill in each of fiscal years 2007, 2008, and 2009 to cover increases in operating costs.

Debt Service RequirementsUpcoming Events

The Commission is currently working on the next phase of our Capital Improvement Program through a comprehensive inventory of our facilities, updating and developing master plans. In FY 2011 Charleston County PRC plans to issue $30 million bonds for construction projects. During FY 2010 the Commission approved funding of $2.2 million for the planning and design of facilities at current and recently purchased facilities, as well as projects that had been previously authorized. The Agency issued $7 million of new General Obligation Bonds in 2006 to fund the repair, maintenance, and expansion of the county parks system. Authorized funding for these projects expired during FY 2010 and any project that had not begun was required to be reauthorized. Remaining funds from the bond that were unspent at that time of deauthorization were earmarked to cover debt service on the 2006 General Obligation Bond. Some of the projects that had been previously approved under the 2006 bond were reapproved as part of the 2010 CIP grouping. In 2006 the citizens of Charleston approved an increase in sales tax of one half cent. Part of this tax was earmarked for the purchase of land for future park sites within Charleston County. A total of $36 million was reserved for this purpose. This has resulted in an increase of 2,919.22 acres of land purchases for future park sites. Bonding for these purchases was through the County of Charleston. Upon purchase, the title to the land is deeded to the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission. A transfer of $400,000 of our Debt Service millage is being transferred to the Capital Projects Fund to fund those items under the Capital Improvement Program that are considered shorter term or more routine maintenance items.

Special Revenue Fund

The Special Revenue Fund is used by Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission to record grants or miscellaneous income for the agency that is not assigned to another fund. In the past PRC has received a grant from the USDA to be used for the Summer Lunch Programs which has served over 40,000 lunches during the summer to low country children. In the FY 2012 budget we have recorded this grants revenue and expenses as requested in the current budget year (FY 2011). The Charleston County School District may become the host for this program in the future. The Agency receives a federal grant for the Cooper River Marina Pump-out Boat.

FY 2012 Budget Adjustments: In the FY 2012 Budget we have restructured some of the enterprise accounts by moving Recreational Programming to be accounted for within each park where the special event/program is being held and Gold Passes will no longer be accounted for within each Parks budget but in the Park & Recreation Service Enterprise Fund. Palmetto Islands County Park hosts the Pet Festival and weekend entertainment series. Transfers In represents the Holiday Festival of Light salary reimbursement. One staff member will be receiving longevity in the FY 2012 Budget. No cost of living is included in this budget, the agency will continue to maintain the Evergreen compensation study. Operating expenses increased $2,593 for the recreation programs expenditures. The rest is normal increase of operating expensesutilities, advertising, printing, and local/state taxes.

FY 2012 Budget Adjustments: In the FY 2012 Budget we have restructured some of the enterprise accounts by moving Recreational Programming to be accounted for within each park where the special event/program is being held.

Recreation programming accounted for in this budget: Adventure off-road road. No cost of living is included in this budget, the agency will continue to maintain the Evergreen compensation study. Operating expenses decreased due to staff budgeting based on past years actual and park needs.

FY 2012 Budget Adjustments: In the FY 2012 Budget we have restructured some of the enterprise accounts by moving Recreational Programming to be accounted for within each park where the special event/program is being held. Recreation programming accounted for in this budget: Shaggin on the Pier, movies at the Park, and the entertainment series. Resale and Admissions revenue decreased based on budgeting closer to past actual. One staff member will be receiving longevity in the FY 2012 Budget. No cost of living is included in this budget, the agency will continue to maintain the Evergreen compensation study. Operating expenses increased due to recreational programming expenses and to normal increase of operating expensesutilities, advertising, printing, and local/state taxes. Mount Pleasant Pier opened for business July 2009, creating a budget for a new enterprise is harder to accomplish until there are three years of actual for comparison.
