For: Salomon Farming Fun Day Camp – Fees for 2015 Cost Center: 439 – R530 NRO

Financial Objective and Justification Statement

The financial objective for Salomon Farm Park is to recover 100% of its operating costs through program and rental fees. The farm has been successful in reaching its’ financial objectives due to many popular programs including Farming Fun Day Camp. Next to the rentals at the Old Barn, the other main source of revenue is from Farming Fun Day Camp.

In order to expand the Farm Camp experience and recover costs we are recommending an increase in the Before and After-Care Programs and the creation of one new fee for a camp group for youth ages 13 and up.

Projected Results/ Outcomes We expect to be able to expand camp by adding a Counselor’s Aide group for youth ages 13 and up to meet the growing needs of the camp. The addition of this new group will also add up to $4,200 in revenue. An increased fee for the Before and After-Care programs will ensure that all of the staffing costs are covered for this amenity.

Fee Recommendation

For: Salomon Farm Park – Old Barn Rental Cost Center: 439 – R530 NRO

Financial Objective and Justification Statement

The financial objective for Salomon Farm Park is to recover 100% of its operating costs through program and rental fees. The farm had been successful in reaching its’ financial objectives due to many successful programs including Farmin’ Fun Day Camp, Old Barn rentals, the sale of crops, land in USDA Conservation Reserve Program and events like the Handmade Homemade sale.

Next to Farm Camp, the main source of revenue for Salomon Farm Park is the rental of the Old Barn. It has become an incredibly popular venue for weddings and receptions along with other special events. In 2014 we hosted a record of 67 rentals with a high customer satisfaction rating. Beginning each January, the barn is rented for the current and following year and consequently, much of the revenue collected in 2014 was for events that will take place in 2015.

Due to the need for maintenance at the property, new equipment, and the rising costs of maintenance, cleaning and salaries, we are asking the Board to approve an increase in the rental fees.

Our facility improvements during 2014 included the installation of a drinking fountain, addition of a water line, design and construction of signage for the buildings, re-seeding of grounds and the creation of a Seasonal Events Coordinator for the barn. Planned improvements for 2015 are maintenance of the barn and restroom buildings including painting and replacing deteriorating wood, re-seeding lawn areas, improvements to fences near the barn, facility cleaning equipment and other needed items. Our intent is to meet the needs of our renters and be pro-active with maintenance.

Projected Results/ Outcome Based on the number of reservations for 2014 we expect rentals in 2015 to equal or exceed $29,748 with additional revenue exceeding $10,000 from food and beverage commissions.

Fee Recommendation

FOR: Winter 2015 Programs

FINANCIAL OBJECTIVE AND JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT

Financial objectives vary among cost centers or program areas. In general, fees are calculated to cover the direct cost of the program with a pre-determined minimum number of participants and then increased 20% to cover administrative costs. Program fees are recalculated each time they are offered to account for any changes in costs. We also consider price breaks, competition and what the market will bear when establishing program fees.

PROJECTED RESULTS / OUTCOME:

Winter programs are held December-February. One hundred sixty (160) fee-based programs were offered in the Winter of 2014 and generated revenue of approximately $ 57,075.00.

In 2015 we are offering 156 fee based programs this winter and expect our revenue to be similar to 2014.

FEES:

Attached are the proposed fees for programs offered in the Winter 2015 Fun Times catalog.

Spicy Evergreen Centerpiece Workshop # Sessions/Fee: $34 Member/ Volunteer Fee: $29 “Changing Tides” Winter Garden Exhibit January 10-April 5 This winter, the Botanical Conservatory invites internationally-known artist Sayaka Ganz to create an imaginative seascape in the midst of our lush Showcase Garden using recycled materials. Discarded everyday items such as plastic forks, knives and bowls are reborn with new purpose and meaning as the artist transforms them into colorful and lifelike sculptures of jellyfish, kelp, dolphins and coral reef. You can practice seeing the possibilities for yourself as you try your hand with “one man’s trash” in our hands-on Discovery Gallery. Let the beauty of this ocean scene inspire you to do more than recycle waste items – consider their value and start upcycling. The Conservatory is offering classes this winter and early spring to encourage the upcycling trend. Don’t miss the Creative Faire on February 21, for upper elementary through adult, to explore the creative re-purposing of materials for satisfying self-expression in art. Changing Tides is sponsored by the Auer Foundation, Arts United, Artlink, City of Fort Wayne Solid Waste, Allen County Solid Waste, and the University of St. Francis School of Creative Arts.

Family Garden Close-Up Visit the Botanical Conservatory on the fourth Saturday each month to get a closer look at our plants and gardens through short walks, crafts, and snacks. We will visit one of our gardens to discover a different feature and you’ll get the opportunity to see what the Conservatory truly has to offer as you learn fun and valuable information. FGC is especially fun for young learners. The activities are included in your regular Conservatory admission fee (members and volunteers admitted free). FGC: Poinsettia Paradise December 27, 11:00 am-1:00 pm This small Mexican shrub is quite popular around the holidays. Let’s explore more about what this beautiful plant can do and have some fun too! You’ll be able to enjoy the lovely sites that surround you in the Showcase garden with our very own Poinsettia Christmas tree with loads of them sprinkled around the entire space. How many different colors of Poinsettia’s can you find? FGC: Rock on! January 24, 11:00 am-1:00 pm Let’s take solid mineral material that forms part of the earth’s surface and transform it into something useful. We’re talking about rocks here! Rocks and rock material can be found in various places throughout our garden in the form of walking paths, statues and even a home for plants. Travel around the Conservatory and turn an ordinary rock into a paperweight, garden décor or a one of a kind keepsake that will make you look at rocks in a totally different way. FGC: Worms at Work February 28, 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Approximately 70% of the garbage and trash that ends up in landfills could be recycled. Learn how to minimize waste, save landfill space, reduce the risk of pollution, and – best of all – make your own nutrient-rich soil that can be used in your yard or garden. This process, called vermicomposting, involves earthworms transforming organic waste into fertilizer. So, the next time you go to throw that banana peel in the trash think about giving worms first dibs instead!

Science Fun Curious about the natural world? Would you like to learn some cool science tricks to impress your friends or family? Each month we’ll investigate a different topic with fun and family-friendly experiments, demonstrations, and activities – most of which can be repeated at home. Each program lasts 30-45 minutes and is appropriate for ages 5 and up. Participants in NISTEM (www.nistem.org) can also earn points for attending. Preregistration is not required and the program is free with regular Conservatory admission (members and volunteers admitted free). SF: Santa Science December 20, 11:00 am & 1:00 pm Santa enjoys science, too, just like every good little boy and girl, so we’ll be conducting some seasonal science experiments just in time for the holidays. We’ll begin by making ‘Holiday Cheer Eruptions.’ Then, since you can’t have cookies without milk, the ‘Santa’s Magic Milk’ experiment is a must. Finally, even Santa needs to brush his teeth after eating all those cookies, so we’ll make ‘Santa Toothpaste’ using common household ingredients. Santa Science puts a scientific spin on your holiday season! SF: Recycled Snow Globes January 17, 11:00 am & 1:00 pm What is the science is behind snow globes? How does the “snow” fall so peacefully and perfectly? How does it even get in the globe? We’ll explore these scientific concepts and then make our own upcycled snow globes using baby food jars and other common reusable items. SF: What CAN a CANister do? February 21, 11:00 am-2:00 pm Before the digital age, small plastic canisters were used to store photographic film. With the invention of digital cameras, film has almost become extinct. Let’s use the right side of our brains to think up other uses for film canisters. We’ll give you some ideas but ultimately you get to make the final decision on how to reuse your canister. Salt and pepper shakers, kaleidoscope, coin purse . . . the list goes on . . . so join us during our Creative Faire (see p. ##) event and repurpose a film canister. Who knows, you might have the next great invention, so put your thinking caps on!

Writing Your Memoirs You don’t need to have had a hardscrabble youth in order to write a memoir. You don’t need eccentric parents. Believe it or not, you don’t need anything dramatic. And you certainly don’t have to publish it. Memoir is about handing over your life to someone and saying, “This is what I went through, this is who I am, and maybe you can learn something from it.” It’s about creating a legacy that doesn’t have dollar signs in front of it but has far greater residual value for family and friends. It’s a gift that only you can share. Let author Linda Wade help you put pen to paper and begin to tell your story. Ages 50+. Registration deadline: January 8. Min. 6. Max. 10.

Conservatory Terrace Pond Lighting Project

Project: Replace and improve the lighting in the Conservatory Terrace Pond. The fixtures are original to the structure dating back to 1985, and of a design and type of material common for public installation at that time. At this point all of the fixtures have failed after surviving several rounds of repair and are no longer serviceable for the facility. Exact replacement parts are no longer available through traditional suppliers. To effect repairs using e-bay and other second market suppliers is estimated to cost between $25,000 and $27,000 to light the system.

Major Components: It is proposed that a new lighting system be installed that not only replaces the former system, but adds beauty and value to the facility, while also lowering energy usage. The new system will provide the lighting required to meet minimum illumination needs for the area and also serve as an interactive art exhibit. We propose a new lighting system comprised of the following elements. • A weather-proof, chemical-proof, stainless steel, post-modern structure that provides form and support for the installation. The structure will be built in multiple, modular sections and will be designed to abstractly suggest the path of Fort Wayne’s three rivers. The structure and all lighting components will be submerged in flowing water. • A layer of multi-colored art glass pieces which is also impervious to the effects of weather and chemicals. The glass is created by hand by a master glass blower and each piece is absolutely unique. The glass will serve as an attractive art objective in the daylight. When backlit in the evening it will glow with striking vibrancy. • The lighting system is also designed to serve the facility well into the future without being damaged by weather or harsh chemicals. The cool-running, LED system will use far less energy than the former “hot lights” which has the capacity to overheat and explode should there be an undetected leak that allows the water level to get too low in the pond(s). The lights will feature changing colors and can be connected to sound equipment to react to the music during weddings and other special events. • In addition to the colorful changing lights beneath each “shelf of glass,” the project will also provide for dramatic up-lighting for each of the five waterfalls in the pond system, highlighting the motion and brilliance of the flowing water.

Funding Source: Half of the project (approximately the minimum amount required to simply replace the old fixtures with similar from secondary sources) will be funded via the 2014 Capital Improvements Fund, 355 = $25,722.

The balance of the project (half of the total required to upgrade the lighting to become a feature for the terrace garden) will be funded via private grant funds dedicated to capital improvements to the Conservatory, Fund 422 = $25,200.

For Your Consideration: Park Staff respectfully requests your approval of the fabrication of the stainless steel structure and art glass that is the signature element of this improvement. Since this project is also an art exhibit, the design of which is entirely the concept of the fabricating artist, competitive quotes are not available. The cost for this portion of the project is $37,122.

To complete the project, the Department will seek competitive quotes for the lighting and electrical work required. That work will cost $13,800. When all work is completed, the total cost for the project will be $50,922. Contract between Glass by James Michael & Co. & The Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department. Terrace pond lighting/colored Glass Stream.

Project Description: • Glass by James Michael & Co will provide a unique art exhibit comprised of approximately 150 linear feet of Glass Stream, supported on a stainless steel platform, designed to suggest the three rivers of Fort Wayne. • The structure will have a minimum 20 year life expectancy. The two primary materials, stainless steel and glass, are resistant to chemical and UV degradation and are well suited to constant exposure to weather, water, and sun. • The stainless steel components will be of similar construction to the prototype sections. Modular construction will be employed, with each set of attachment points individually marked for ease of identification, should disassembly and reassembly be desired. The markings are laser etched into the stainless steel so they cannot be removed. • The glass component of this project consists of approximately 1,500 lbs of selected and prepared glass. This material is derived from selected hand blown glass vessels. Each piece has been selected for size, color, and translucence. All the glass is prepared to remove sharp edges before installation.

Construction Schedule: • Fabrication of the stainless steel members will begin upon receipt of the first payment. • Installation will be completed by April 15th 2015. • Glass by James Michael and Co will install the stainless steel and glass. Installation will be coordinated with the electrical contractor doing the lighting for the project.

Consideration: Total cost: $37,122.00

Glass by James Michael & Co will provide ongoing consultation with appropriate parties to ensure the integrity of the overall artistic design.

After review of the quote, accepting both base quotes fell within the project budget. The quote came from Fort Wayne Roofing and Sheet Metal. This company has a good history of completed projects with the Parks Department. At this time I would like to ask the Board for approval of a contract for $27,200.00 with Fort Wayne Roofing and Sheet Metal, Inc.

The GTCC was coordinated and executed without any major mishaps; trees were planted between McMillen Park/Golf course, Rockhill, Psi Ote, Kettler, Foster South, and Reservoir. Volunteer turn-out was on the low side, but all trees were planted and mulched within a three hour window. Existing shrubs were removed at Franke Pavilion 1; a new landscape plan is developed, trees and large shrubs will be planted this fall, with the remainder of the new landscape completed in spring 2015. Polartrac bodies are being installed on four Toro 7210 mowers. The Polartracs have become our mainstay small area snow removers. Two of the newer 7210s are having body mounting kits installed so two of the older tired 7210 mowers can be retired from snow service

Dawn Ritchie ~ Greenway Manager We have a parcel to condemn on the Six Mile Creek Trail: Southtown Crossing to Intersection of Tillman Rd and Lemar Drive and on the Covington Road Trail: Beal-Taylor Ditch to West Hamilton Road because of financial situations regarding the property owners (liens, bankruptcy, foreclosures, etc.). Both property owners are supportive of the trails, but we have to use the condemnation process to clear up the title and acquire the land. Unfortunately, the condemnation proceedings will likely impact the letting dates of July 2015 for both projects

We met again with AEP to discuss their transmission line project slated for construction in mid- 2015 to mid-2016, which will affect the completion of the Rivergreenway Extension to Shoaff Park. They agree that the riverbank erosion is an issue that impacts all of us, and we need to deal with it. Hopefully, AEP will provide significant funding to stabilize the riverbank. Currently, our only quote for the riverbank stabilization is over $400,000. We are examining other, less costly alternatives

We have begun survey work for the Bluffton Rd Trail and Sidewalk project between Lower Huntington Rd and West Foster Park. We hope to have a consultant chosen by January to begin the engineering.
