Previously completed renovations included upgrades to the heating/air cond itioning, creation of indoor restrooms and renovations to the kitchen area which were also completed in 2016. The Barn continues to be a popular venue for weddings and other events. Additional renovations should be made to assist with expanding rental opportunities. The Ambrose Children's Garden was completed and dedicated in 2016. The park offers multiple learning activities for elementary school age children . The feedback has been very positive. We are currently working on additional curriculum geared toward elementary school age children with plans to attract more group offerings for the Spring/Summer of 2017. The majority of the funding for the "Children's Garden" has been provided by private donations. We continue to search for funding to assist with maintenance and staffing of the park area and for special event offerings at the garden. Due to the popularity of the gymnastic program and the many offerings available through that program, space is continually an issue. In the fall of 2016 we began renovations of the Marshall Mason Wing to expand the gymnastic program and provide additional classes and party offerings. With this expansion, we were forced to relocate other programs to the Ramer Center. Through the assistance of the Board of Education with providing us the use of the Ramer Center Gymnasium, we have invested significant funds into the upgrades of the facility to allow us to relocate our indoor winter soccer program, pickleball ( a sport that combines badminton, tennis and table tennis) and adult volleyball. Other organizations also continue to use the gym space at Ramer. List all significant funding sources that your agency has received during FY2016 - 2017 The largest allocation of funding to MBC Parks & Recreation was provided by the Eastern \NV Community Foundation for the upgrades to the windows /doors at the Poor House Farm Barn. We also continue to receive sporadic donations for the Children's Garden in efforts to create a self-sustaining facility. What major activities are planned by your Agency for FY2017 - 2018? In addition to the ongoing programs and leagues that we provide on an annual basis, we also host many "special events" that assist us in generating revenue to support our operations. In 2012 we began hosting the Quad State Classic tournaments for traveling basketball teams. These events are weekend events and they have become a very popular offering with the popularity of travel teams. We have expanded these offerings since inception and in 2017 we have added a fifth weekend to the tournament schedule. As this continues to grow we may consider adding additional weekends as a way to increase the generation of revenue and utilize the facilities throughout the spring and summer when basketball leagues are less popular. We also host Regional and state gymnastics meets throughout the spring. These events bring in thousands of gymnast from all over the east coast. We continue to develop events and activities to fully utilize the availability of the recreation centers and park facilities. We plan to begin construction of the new "Goldie Gibbons Park" on the 1. 7 acre parcel in Bedington. In the Spring of 2017 we plan to replace the Norwalk Creek Pavilion at War Memorial Park and the pavilion at the PO Faulkner Tennis Courts. Additionally, the tennis courts located at PO Faulkner are in need of a complete restoration that is estimated to cost between $50-60K. If funds are received from Berkeley County, specify what these funds will be used for: Funds are continually needed for maintaining and operating our existing Public Park system which has grown tremendously over the past 15 years. We continue to develop ideas to help create long term funding resources. There is significant concern for the added burden of increased facilities and land and the overall cost to maintain additional properties. We also have tremendous concern regarding the impact of the minimum wage increases that continue to impact our operating expenses as we rely heavily on seasonal employees for various areas of our operations. As the age of the parks and facilities continue to increase additional funds are always needed for repairs and capital improvements. Attach a copy of your proposed FY2017 - 2018 budget reflecting the funds requested and a copy of your current fiscal year budget with supporting financial statement(s). Funding requests must be electronically submitted to [email protected] no later than 5:00 PM Monday, January 9, 2017. You will be contacted and given a time to present your request to the County Council.
