Analysis of Performance

Participation fell below target primarily because of major construction at Northside Aztlan Community Center (NACC) for most of the year. This restricted available space for child care and impacted rental spaces. Recreation did see an increase in reduced fee enrollments (+13%), reduced fee pass visits (+5%)  and non-reduced fee pass visits (+16.4%) to our facilities compared with 2022. The number of rentals stayed the same as in 2022 which is attributed to the construction at NACC. 



Grand opening of the remodeled space at NACC will be held February 2024 with full access for programming. Recreation redeployed one FTE and added another with a combination of hourly conversion and .75 funding to the youth programming, childcare and camp team. Staff expect an increase to both programming and participation in this area now that program area is properly staffed to meet the demand.
