CITY COMMISSION AGENDA MEMO October 16, 2018
FROM: Scott Shoemaker Zoo Director
MEETING: October 23, 2018
SUBJECT: Sunset Zoo Master Plan and Strategic Plan with GLMV Architecture, of Wichita, Kansas
PRESENTER(S): Craig Rhodes GLMV Architecture Scott Shoemaker Zoo Director
BACKGROUND
In 1987, Sunset Zoo commissioned a master plan by ZOOPLAN, of Wichita, Kansas. This Plan has been the basis for much of the growth Sunset Zoo has experienced since that master plan’s inception.
In 1999, Staff completed an “in-house” revision of the 1987 master plan. This plan included revised cost estimates and identification of some new facilities. Much of the 1999 master plan revision has been accomplished and a new master plan and strategic plan are needed to help guide Sunset Zoo into the future.
In order to retain a qualified firm to help develop a new master plan, and strategic plan for Sunset Zoo, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was requested by City staff. Both support organizations for the Zoo, The Friends of Sunset Zoo, and the Sunset Zoological Park and Wildlife Conservation Trust, endorsed the RFQ request. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board also unanimously endorsed the request at its regular meeting on November 7, 2016, and the City Commission approved the RFQ process on December 6, 2016.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from highly qualified and innovative design teams for master plan design and strategic plan services was advertised on December 7, 2016. Six (6) consultant submissions of qualifications were received by January, 5, 2017. The Selection Committee, comprised of Scott Shoemaker, Zoo Director; Jared Bixby, Zoo Curator of Education; Wyatt Thompson, Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation; Kathy Hasler, Board member of the Sunset Zoological Park and Wildlife Conservation Trust; and Andy Ellis, Board member of the Friends of Sunset Zoo, reviewed submittals and selected two firms to interview. Interviews were held on February 15, 2017. The Selection Committee unanimously selected GLMV Architecture, of Wichita, Kansas, as the firm to develop Sunset Zoo’s master plan and strategic plan.
On March 7, 2017, the City Commission accepted the recommendation of the Selection Committee and authorized City Administration to enter into contract negotiations with GLMV Architecture, of Wichita, Kansas.
A contract to complete a master plan and strategic plan for Sunset Zoo was approved by the City Commission on July 11, 2017.
On January 8, 2018, a presentation of the master plan was given to the City Commission, seeking input and direction for the final plan.
DISCUSSION
As Sunset Zoo prepares for the future, City Administration is seeking a new master plan and strategic plan for the Sunset Zoo. It has been 30 years since Sunset Zoo had a master plan created by a professional firm, and much has changed in the zoo profession since that time. A professional master plan and strategic plan are also requirements for Sunset Zoo’s accreditation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).
A master plan and strategic plan will provide Sunset Zoo, and the City of Manhattan, with direction in regards to future exhibits, service facilities, pedestrian circulation patterns and accessibility, wayfinding, staffing levels, revenue potential and estimated costs.
The strategic plan will provide Sunset Zoo and the City of Manhattan with the mechanisms, demographics, and information necessary to achieve the master plan.
Through a negotiated contract, GLMV Architecture developed a master plan and strategic plan based on input and suggestions from the City Commission, a series of public meetings with the community, Zoo staff, Zoo support organizations, and various stakeholders. The resulting master plan and strategic plan will guide the Zoo and the City in its decision-making processes to provide services and exhibits the community wants to see, and are willing to support. GLMV Architecture held three listening sessions, three days each, with the public, Zoo staff, the Friends of Sunset Zoo, the Sunset Zoological Park and Wildlife Conservation Trust and various volunteers, and seasonal staff to receive input on the direction the Zoo should take. GLMV has also held meetings with City Administrative staff, various stakeholders such as the Director of the Chamber of Commerce and the Director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, as well as donors and supporters of the Zoo, and other select private stakeholders, to gather ideas for the future development of the Zoo. We have also conducted an online survey, with over 900 responses, on the direction the community would like to see the Zoo take in the future.
A mid-point presentation was given to the City Commission at a Work Session on January 8, 2018, seeking City Commission input. The presentation on October 23, 2018, is a culmination of those meetings, surveys, presentations, and City Commission input.
FINANCING
In the 2017 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) (CIP #SZ025P), $85,000 was budgeted for the retention of a firm to develop a Zoo master plan and strategic plan. The CIP originally indicated split from the Special Sunset Zoo Fund, as well as the utilization of surplus Economic Development Funds from the past sales tax initiative. The surplus Economic Development Funds from the Riley County 1/2 cent sales tax from 2002-2012 was utilized to fund the entire $85,000 of the Zoo master plan project. This decision was made during the second reading of the 2017 budget approval process.
ALTERNATIVES
It appears the Commission has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Commission may:
1. Approve the Sunset Zoo Master Plan and Strategic Plan. 2. Do not accept the Sunset Zoo Master Plan and Strategic Plan. 3. Modify or develop alternatives if other concerns or factors arise. 4. Table the request.
RECOMMENDATION
City Administration recommends the City Commission approve the Sunset Zoo Master Plan and Strategic Plan as presented.
POSSIBLE MOTION
Approve the Sunset Zoo Master Plan and Strategic Plan (2018-2023), (CIP #SZ025P).

SUNSET ZOO STRATEGIC PLAN 2018 – 2023
MISSION: To inspire conservation of the natural world VISION: Creating a community of champions in the fight against extinction OR Safeguarding (securing?) the future for wildlife and wild places
CORE VALUES
Learning: We believe in creating learning opportunities for all.
Sustainability: We strive to be an example of sustainability for our community and guests-- through our business practices, animal care, and guest experiences.
Community: We strive to be a point of pride for our community, to be active partners in the welfare of our community, and to inspire our community to care for the wild world around them.
Caring: We deliver the highest level of care to our animals, putting their welfare and care above all else.
Excellence: Excellence is a hallmark of everything we do, especially in our care for our animals. We take pride in our work and always aim high.
Stewardship: We strive to be good caretakers for all that’s entrusted to us—our planet, our animals, our Zoo, our coworkers, and our partners who have invested time, care and resources.
The Sunset Zoo’s Strategic Plan is one component of a three part-planning initiative completed in April 2018 that is intended to define strategic direction, provide master plan site concepts, and outline a future for conservation. Companion documents are the Sunset Zoo Master Plan and Wildlife Master Plan.
STRATEGIC GOALS
I. Build a compelling animal experience that meets the highest standards of animal welfare II. Ensure a sustainable business model III. Enhance guest experience and learning opportunities IV. Increase conservation impact V. Foster greater community engagement Sunset Zoo Strategic Plan page 2 Zoo Advisors LLC October 15, 2018
Goal I: Build a compelling animal experience that meets the highest standards of animal welfare
Manhattan residents and visitors value the Zoo, with its manageable size, friendly atmosphere, and interesting animals but they want more: more and “bigger” animals, more opportunities to get close to the animals, and more interactive experiences. The Zoo’s location and topography offer some surprising and expansive views along with some real challenges to access and exhibit design. New Master Plan concepts and strategic goals address these issues and reflect innovative ideas and trends in zoos, aquariums, and related attractions across the county.
A. Develop Master Plan to feature diversity of species; more larger animals, more charismatic animals. giraffes lions reptiles/amphibians B. Increase conservation relevance of animals/exhibits. pollinator gardens sloth bear rescue C. Ensure best animal care; create greater transparency and showcase the work of the keepers. D. Develop engaging animal encounters. giraffe feeding—indoor and outdoor prairie dog pop-up tunnels budgie feeding frog pond children’s area Sunset Zoo Strategic Plan page 3 Zoo Advisors LLC October 15, 2018
Goal II: Ensure a sustainable business model
Analysis of historic trends in Sunset Zoo attendance, membership, and revenue areas reveals several areas of significant opportunity. Attendance has been on a steady upward trend since 2010, but still falls toward the lower end of both national and Kansas benchmarks. In addition, there’s room for growth in per capita concessions and admission revenue. The staunch support of the City’s Parks & Recreation Division over the years has provided a solid basis for operations; however, revenue growth has been outpaced by expenses, and with implementation of a new Master Plan and improvements to existing facilities needed, increased fundraising is essential. The future success of the Zoo is compromised without a more sustainable business model that includes both pubic and private funds, with an increase in earned and contributed revenue.
A. Increase earned income: admission fees, program fees, rentals, concessions Add seasonal carts, increase food choices, high margin goods Consider increases in admission, program, rental fees B. Add revenue generating experiences/amenities in early master plan phases Seek funding for Projects of Opportunity in year one-three C. Explore future bond initiative or other financing to support Master Plan. D. Increase fundraising capacity and activities of Sunset Zoo Trust and FOSZ Nurture a culture of philanthropy Zoo-wide Develop/expand fundraising program to include board training, expectations for board giving, targeted major gifts E. Consider small events/activities with good ROI and low staff impact (coffee tasting, small meetings/social groups, live music, etc.) to showcase the Zoo, increase awareness and revenue Sunset Zoo Strategic Plan page 4 Zoo Advisors LLC October 15, 2018
Goal III: Enhance guest experience and learning opportunities
The Zoo’s education programs have demonstrated success on a number of fronts: their popular Sprouts childcare program regularly exceeds demand; their STEM initiatives with Kansas State University put zoo science front and center and attract national recognition; and education revenue has surpassed admissions revenue since 2014, rare in the world of zoos and aquariums! The focus for the next few years will be to build on this success and create a compelling learning environment for Zoo visitors that’s fun—an experience that inspires them to explore and discover science--and return in the future. A critical component of this goal is enhancing guest comfort and satisfaction by improving amenities and providing easy access throughout the site.
A. Expand Sprouts programs. Investigate other markets for early childhood programming Increase engagement with alumni families B. Build partnerships with school district(s). C. Enhance guest learning experiences—encounters, shows, etc. Develop/expand keeper talks and animal demonstrations to highlight animal welfare and zoo science Build interpretive programming into all new exhibits and ensure consistent delivery Develop and deliver unified messaging throughout exhibits and programming D. Improve wayfinding and accessibility. E. Add new guest amenities such as restrooms, seating areas, food and gift concessions. Identify short-term “pop-up” concessions for immediate revenue gain F. Improve interpretation at current exhibits and increase opportunities for interaction Zoo- wide. Sunset Zoo Strategic Plan page 5 Zoo Advisors LLC October 15, 2018
Goal IV. Increase conservation impact
The companion Wildlife Conservation Plan details specific conservation programs, priorities, and strategies for expanding and implementing the Zoo’s conservation program, while the Strategic Plan and Master Plan provide “big picture” goals and site concepts for conservation initiatives. Developing and adopting this trilogy of plans concurrently ensures the best integration of organizational goals, site concepts, and conservation programming with best use of limited human and financial resources. The Sunset Zoo should be proud of their place among a small but growing number of zoos who have dedicated resources to in-depth conservation planning.
A. Align Wildlife Conservation Plan with strategic plan and identify resource needs. Feature conservation signature programs throughout Zoo interpretation Ensure adequate resources to implement—both human and financial B. Integrate conservation initiatives with animals, exhibits, programs, communication. C. Increase funding for conservation. Quarters for conservation “Round ups” Conservation endowment D. Implement/advance sustainable practices/resource management. E. Develop strategies to increase awareness of Sunset’s conservation program. Success stories Citizen science—local engagement Sunset Zoo Strategic Plan page 6 Zoo Advisors LLC October 15, 2018
Goal IV: Foster greater community engagement
The Zoo is already a valued part of the Manhattan community-- a community that values time spent with family and friends, being outdoors, attending events at K-State and other venues—a community with growth in its future. Partnerships thrive with K-State, and with NBAF nearing completion, new opportunities for programming, visitation, staff engagement, and facilities are possible. The Sunset Zoo enjoys a strong relationship with the City and has benefited from sustained funding commitments for decades. The City, K-State, and community leaders have been part of the planning process, and as the Zoo grows, their support will be even more essential.
A. Explore additional/expanded partnerships with Discovery Center/Libraries. B. Build off current success and develop additional K-State science communication or other partnerships. C. Promote Zoo as a “civic commons”—meeting space, “town hall” for all. Local businesses, Chamber of Commerce, nonprofits, community groups Employ social media strategies to build awareness D. Explore additional opportunities with Ft. Riley, NBAF communities. Zoo membership campaigns Zoo volunteer opportunities Outreach programming E. Explore membership strategies to increase revenue, enhance member participation, and further engage the community at large. Conduct membership assessment/analysis to identify “quick hits” for revenue and participation Sunset Zoo Strategic Plan page 7 Zoo Advisors LLC October 15, 2018 Rough Order of Magnitude Estimate/Opinion of Probable
