LAKE ERIE HURON-CLINTON METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY 2015 BUDGET GENERAL INTRODUCTION The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority is the regional park authority serving Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne Counties. It was created by Public Act 147 of Public Acts of 1939. The governing body of the Authority, under the Act, is a seven member Board of Commissioners. Two Commissioners, who serve as representatives at large, are appointed by the Governor of Michigan and five Commissioners, one each to represent each member county, are appointed by the Board of Commissioners of each member county. The general administration of the Authority is the responsibility of four Board appointed staff officers – Director, Deputy Director, Executive Secretary and Controller. Named after the two longest rivers within its boundaries, the Authority’s main endeavor is to provide a variety of recreational opportunities through the development of the natural resources along the Huron and Clinton Rivers for the benefit of the citizens of Southeastern Michigan. Since its inception, it has created thirteen Metroparks covering nearly 25,000 acres within the five counties. Most Huron-Clinton Metroparks are 1,000 or more acres. All are located on water, such as a lake or river, to provide a variety of water-related activities. Picnicking, nature study, golf, scenic drives, hike-bike trails, interpretive facilities, summer and winter sports are provided at most parks. Huron-Clinton Metroparks are day use parks. Most of the five-county residents are less than an hour’s drive from their favorite Metropark. The larger Metroparks are designed to accommodate crowds of 35,000 or more on peak use days. The Metropark system serves approximately nine million visitors a year. Current information on the Metropark system can be found on the Authority’s website at www.metroparks.com. The Metropark system is financed primarily by an ad valorem property tax levy within the five-county district. The tax rate for 2015 will remain, for the tenth consecutive year, at .2146 mills on the “taxable value” of the property in the five-county district. These tax funds are supplemented with revenues generated from fees and charges at various Metropark facilities. The 2015 Budget details the financial plan for both: (1) capital development of Metropark facilities, and (2) the operation of the Metropark system for the 2015 calendar year. THE HURON-CLINTON METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY MISSION STATEMENT The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority, a regional park system created in 1940 by the citizens of Southeast Michigan, provides excellent recreational and educational opportunities while serving as stewards of its natural resources. Our efforts are guided by the belief that the use of parks and exposure to natural environments enhance society’s health and quality of life. 2015 Table of Contents BUDGET HURON-CLINTON METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY 2015 BUDGET TABLE OF CONTENTS GENERAL INTRODUCTION MISSION STATEMENT BUDGET RESOLUTION TABLE OF CONTENTS BUDGET SUMMARY . 1 BUDGET COMPARISON . 2 BUDGET SUMMARY CHARTS . 3 Historical Expenditure Graph (2006 - 2015) . 4 GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION SUMMARY . 5 – 8 REVENUES Historical Revenue Graph (2006 - 2015) . 9 Property Tax Levy . 10– 13 Revenue from Operations Graphs . 14– 21 Park Operation Leading Revenue Summary . 22 Revenue from Operations . 23– 29 Other Authority Revenues . 30 Capital Expenditures (Engineering-Improvements-Equipment-Land) . 31 – 35 Administrative Office . 36 Natural Resource Crew . 36 Lake St. Clair Metropark . 37 Kensington Metropark . 38 Dexter-Huron/Delhi Metroparks . 39 Lower Huron Metropark . 39 Hudson Mills Metropark . 40 Stony Creek Metropark . 41 Willow Metropark . 42 Oakwoods Metropark . 42 Lake Erie Metropark . 43 Wolcott Mill Metropark . 44 Indian Springs Metropark . 45 Huron Meadows Metropark . 45 Capital Expenditure Summary . 46 Engineering/Planning Full Time Positions List 47 HURON-CLINTON METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY 2015 BUDGET TABLE OF CONTENTS Major Maintenance Expenditures . 49 Administrative Office . 50 Lake St. Clair Metropark . 51 – 52 Kensington Metropark . 52 – 53 Lower Huron Metropark . 53 – 54 Hudson Mills Metropark . 54 Stony Creek Metropark . 55 56 Willow Metropark . 56 – 57 Lake Erie Metropark . 58 – 59 Wolcott Mill Metropark . 59 Indian Springs Metropark . 60 Huron Meadows Metropark . 60 Major Maintenance Expenditure Summary . 61 Operation Expenditures Administrative Office . 63 – 80 Park Operations Summary . 81 – 92 Lake St. Clair Metropark . 93 – 116 Kensington Metropark . 117– 146 Lower Huron Metropark . 147– 162 Dexter-Huron/Delhi/Hudson Mills Metroparks . 163– 184 Stony Creek Metropark . 185– 210 Willow/Oakwoods Metroparks . 211– 232 Lake Erie Metropark . 233– 252 Wolcott Mill Metropark . 253– 270 Indian Springs Metropark . 271– 288 Huron Meadows Metropark . 289– 304 Other Park Operations: Central Warehouse Services . 305– 308 Resident Houses . 309– 313 North Metro Parkway Sections I, II and III & South Metro Parkway . 314 – 326 Natural Resource Crew . 327– 332 GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT . 333– 336 2015 Budget Summary BUDGET 2015 BUDGET - SUMMARY HURON-CLINTON METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY SUMMARY 2015 BUDGET SUMMARY - GENERAL FUND BUDGETED REVENUES BUDGETED EXPENDITURES PROPERTY TAX LEVY $28,137,700 ENGINEERING & GENERAL PLANNING $2,326,000 REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS 16,670,700 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS 7,555,000 INTEREST INCOME 100,000 EQUIPMENT 1,381,500 SALE OF CAPITAL ASSETS 25,000 GENERAL LAND ACQUISITION 256,400 GRANTS 648,000 MAJOR MAINTENANCE 5,071,000 MISCELLANEOUS 480,000 PARK OPERATIONS 30,238,400 ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE 6,778,500 TOTAL BUDGETED REVENUES - 2015 $46,061,400 TOTAL BUDGETED EXPENDITURES - 2015 $53,606,800 UNENCUMBERED CAPITAL APPROPRIATIONS AT 12/31/2015 3,975,000 CAPITAL FUND BALANCE 6,300,480 CAPITAL FUND BALANCE 3,300,480 UNALLOCATED/UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE 13,715,680 UNALLOCATED/UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE $13,145,280 TOTAL REVENUES & FUND BALANCE $70,052,560 TOTAL EXPENDITURES & FUND BALANCE $70,052,560 1 2015 BUDGET - COMPARISON HURON-CLINTON METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS 2014 Amended 2014 Budget as of 2014 Original BUDGETED REVENUES 2015 BUDGET Projected 9/30/2014 Budget 2013 ACTUAL Taxes $28,137,700 $27,797,800 $27,708,900 $27,910,466 $27,662,800 Park Operations 16,670,700 16,179,900 16,522,900 16,003,400 14,519,900 Interest Income 100,000 125,500 100,000 100,000 198,300 Sale of Capital Assets 25,000 80,000 25,000 200,000 223,100 Grants 648,000 674,600 644,000 644,000 2,050,600 Miscellaneous 480,000 134,700 25,000 25,000 194,600 TOTAL BUDGETED REVENUES $46,061,400 $44,992,500 $45,025,800 $44,882,866 $44,849,300 BUDGETED EXPENDITURES Engineering/General Planning $2,326,000 $1,847,000 $2,174,300 $2,174,300 $1,947,000 Capital Improvements 7,555,000 3,737,100 8,222,900 7,693,500 4,683,400 Equipment 1,381,500 1,317,500 1,239,900 1,008,300 1,531,900 Land Acquisition 256,400 243,600 500,000 500,000 28,800 Major Maintenance 5,071,000 1,670,300 2,455,400 2,207,500 704,300 Administrative Office 6,778,500 6,203,200 6,231,900 6,380,600 5,428,700 Park Operations 30,238,400 29,641,100 29,922,600 29,188,200 28,829,600 TOTAL BUDGETED EXPENDITURES $53,606,800 $44,659,800 $50,747,000 $49,152,400 $43,153,700 TOTAL EXPENDITURES (OVER)/UNDER REVENUE ($7,545,400) $332,700 ($5,721,200) ($4,269,534) $1,695,600 2 2015 BUDGET -SUMMARY 2015
