3 I. Executive Summary

In May of 2004, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs (DPRCA) embarked on a Strategic Planning process to embrace the Living Values under Mayor Shirley Franklin’s administration and create a Mission and Vision for our department. The resulting Vision and Mission will be used to guide our policy and resource decisions over the next 5 years. The proposed Vision forms the foundation of our Strategic Plan.

ƒ Vision: To enhance the quality of life for all through nationally acclaimed excellence in Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs. ƒ Mission: To provide all citizens with the highest quality parks, facilities, recreational programs and cultural experiences. This strategic plan document supports both our Mission and Vision by proposing specific Departmental Strategies that are core to our success.

ƒ Departmental Strategy One Provide a park system that is safe, well maintained, abundant, accessible, and well funded. ƒ Departmental Strategy Two Provide accessible recreation programs which afford an opportunity for after school, summer youth, teens and senior populations to be inspired, grow, and achieve through learning and life-skill experiences. ƒ Departmental Strategy Three Infuse diverse arts and cultural experiences into the community through advocacy, support, education and presentation. ƒ Departmental Strategy Four Provide state-of-the-art facilities by assessing, prioritizing, and upgrading existing capital assets. ƒ Departmental Strategy Five Create an environment that inspires, empowers, recognizes, and values an engaged work force.

This five-year strategic plan is action-oriented and invokes a response from all constituencies to perform to higher standards. Our combined efforts will result in overall service improvements and move DPRCA closer to our goal of “Best-in-Class” service.

5 III. Living Values Statement

Living Values

DPRCA embraces the Living Values set forth by Mayor Shirley Franklin’s administration as follows:

1. Integrity – We will strive to uphold the public trust by being honest, competent, and consistent in our beliefs and actions. We will hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of moral and ethical conduct.

2. Striving for Excellence – We strive to deliver “Best in Class” services and superior customer service. We promote and reward excellence as demonstrated by our employees.

3. Sound Fiscal Stewardship – We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public assets is essential for public confidence in government.

4. Teamwork – We value working as a team and we recognize that more can be accomplished working together than working individually.

6 IV. City of Atlanta Demographics and Population Trends

Demographic shifts taking place within the City of Atlanta over the next five years will result in a population that is larger, older, and more ethnically diverse. Important to note is that these changes will not occur consistently across all areas of the City. In general, districts with a well-diversified economic base will experience the healthiest growth. Nothing is as fundamental to economic activity in the long- term than the size of the population base. Demand for DPRCA services may vary somewhat over-time on a per-capita basis but the large and long-term movements depend on the number of customers and the characteristics of those customers. In Atlanta there are a number of important long-term demographic changes that will affect the future demand for services. These trends include:

ƒ Changes in the size of the population These forecasts indicate that greatest increases in the proportion of City ƒ Changes in the age structure of the population population change between 2005 and 2025 will take place in the Central ƒ Changes in the ethnic makeup of the population Business District and Northeast Atlanta. The remaining areas within the City will experience modest declines in proportional representation.

Understanding these trends at the State and Regional level will help to highlight local level Sources: Atlanta Regional Commission, Atlanta Office of Planning

The Atlanta Regional Commission and Office of Planning forecast the rate of growth for the State of to be approximately one half times greater than the City’s rate between the years of 2005 to 2010. The forecasted rates are essentially the same until the year 2020, when the City’s population growth begins to exceed the state’s rate.

*The City is undertaking a new study of Development Impact Fees, due for completion in late 2005 or early 2006. To accommodate new growth and to maintain the quality of life, the City will continue to make improvements to the physical infrastructure, adopt innovative methods to improve the delivery of public services, adopt smart growth principles to facilitate development in the most cost effective and rational way, expand the amount of public Greenspace, protect and enhance the physical, cultural and historic resources of the City, develop the economy to provide the right mix of economic opportunities for all of the citizens and visitors, provide housing incentives and assistances programs that w7ill create an appropriate and broad range of housing options for all of Atlanta’s residents, provide a high level of public safety, and work cooperatively with the Atlanta Public School System to improve the quality of education being received by children of Atlanta.

V. Background and Overview

The City of Atlanta's Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs parks and facilities system consists of approximately 3,400 acres or approximately 3.8% of the City’s land area. The City’s parks vary from nature preserves to active regional parks and its recreational and cultural facilities from small recreation centers to large cultural complexes, such as the Atlanta Civic Center and the Amphitheater. Atlanta is also home to two National Park Service properties: the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site in , and the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area in North Atlanta. , located in downtown Atlanta, is operated by the State of Georgia.

DPRCA‘s inventory includes 345 parks out of which 8 are designated as regional Parks, 13 as community parks, 50 as neighborhood parks and 9 as large nature preserves. The rest of the parks fall under small preserves, block parks, circles, triangles and beauty spots. The facility inventory includes 33 recreation centers, five indoor and seventeen out door pools, five tennis centers and seven cultural facilities. In addition special recreational facilities include four eighteen hole golf courses and one nine hole golf course, Southside Sports Complex, Lake Allatoona Resident Camp and John A. White Junior Training Golf Course.

In an effort to maximize our resources, joint use facilities with Atlanta Public Schools are at Benteen Park, Cleveland Ave. Park, Dunbar, J. F. Kennedy Park, Anderson Park, Morningside Recreation Center and Martin Luther King Recreation Center.

Three community facilities – Dunbar, Georgia Hill and John Birdine are major joint use facilities that serve the various needs of the surrounding neighborhoods.

The Office of Parks provides basic maintenance services to all the parks and facilities in its inventory with emphasis on health and safety. The department has put great emphasis on public/private partnerships, friends of various parks groups and conservancies to maximize the available resources to provide over and above the basic services where possible in the parks.

A report by the Trust for Public Land ranked Atlanta low among cities of similar size and population density for the amount of park and greenspace acreage available for its citizens. (Source: Harnick, Peter. Inside City Parks. Washington DC: Urban Land Institute, 2000). Given the growing support for parks and greenspace among the public and elected officials, and with the recent availability of greenspace funding sources, the City of Atlanta intends to remedy this shortage in the coming years. The City’s Belt line initiative could be the driving force to help close the gap in meeting the national standard for the green space.

Special events are held at various sites throughout the year. A major event site is . There is a much greater demand for special events than what Piedmont Park can accommodate. A Task Force comprised of representatives from various City departments, neighborhoods, other agencies, and event organizers, meets weekly to review festival applications. Additional streamlining and enhancements to the outdoor festival ordinance are being considered.

The Office of Recreation administers program development including Aquatics, Athletics, Tennis, Special Populations, and Coaches' Certification. The Aquatics Division operates indoor and outdoor pools, provides instructional programs in swimming, and has developed the City's youth competitive swim team, the Atlanta Dolphins. The Athletics Division operates the City's adult league plan in football,

8 flag football, basketball, softball and youth team programs. The Special Population Division offers programs for senior citizens and for persons who are both physically and mentally disabled. This division also conducts the Office's outdoor camping programs and operates the Lake Allatoona Facility. The new Coaches' Certification Program is taking the lead in providing training to youth coaches.

During the summer, the Office focuses on Camp Best Friends, a youth day-camp program, serving over thirty five hundred young people at thirty five sites. The summer-camp program, which turns no child away, offers children age six through sixteen a variety of educational, recreational and cultural activities.

The Office of Cultural Affairs supports programs and services that educate and expose the public to a rich and diverse range of cultural expression and aspires to make the arts available to everyone. The Office accomplishes this mission through three primary initiatives:

Preserving and promoting the Arts Through music festivals such as the Atlanta Jazz festival established over three decades ago featuring each year the world’s foremost jazz legends and up-and-coming jazz greats and offering a free month long Jazz experience to Atlanta residents and visitors; The Public Art Program which maintains a collection of over 250 artworks, commission new artworks for public spaces and offer programs such as Summer Murals that utilize professional artists and youth to enrich neighborhoods throughout Atlanta; the Atlanta Public School System Cultural Experience Project that ensure that every student in the Atlanta Public School System will have an onsite cultural experience each year; and through youth programs such as ARTSCool an arts based employment program developed and coordinated for youth ages 14 to 18, providing arts and job training, a salary, and positive cultural experiences in order to enhance their personal development.

Supporting the professional arts community Through Contracts for Arts Services: the awarding of contracts related to production, creation, presentation, exhibition, and managerial support of artistic cultural services to Atlanta’s individual artists, arts organizations, and community-based partnerships

Creating access to cultural opportunities Through City Gallery East, Atlanta’s municipal gallery dedicated to presenting contemporary fine art produced by regional, national and international professional arts; the Atlanta Cyclorama named as one of Atlanta’s top tourist attractions featuring a panoramic painting depicting the Battle of Atlanta, a Civil War Museum and a gift shop; and the Chastain Art Center and Gallery, the oldest City-operated arts facility in Atlanta offering classes in painting, sculpture, drawing, jewelry making, and more.

A major challenge for the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs is that many of our facilities lack adequate parking. This often results in traffic jams and/or illegal parking in front of homes that border a park.

13 VIII. Departmental Strategies

The Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs engaged in a process involving focus groups, stakeholders, and internal and external discussions to establish five departmental strategies to guide us in developing and implementing our work plans for the next four years. Though the intent is for the strategies to endure over time, a smaller group reviewed the strategies for currency and relevancy. In that review, the group proposed a fifth strategy and the associated action steps. The strategies are shown below.

IX. KEY SUCCESS MEASURES

PARKS: FORESTRY (1)

Area of focus – Forestry Routine Tree Takedowns

What do we want to measure – Average age of the work order

Current result – 222.8 days

Target result – 220 days

By when – December 31, 2005

How do we plan to meet the target – We have critical vacancies in Forestry including the Forestry Supervisor, one Forestry Crew Supervisor, one Park Worker Principal, and one Tree Trimmer. We intend to fill these vacancies and to take delivery on the necessary equipment (aerial bucket and log loader) in the third quarter of 2005. There will be a period in which the crew coalesces before we can make significant improvements in production.

PARKS: FORESTRY (2)

Area of focus – Forestry Routine Tree Takedowns

What do we want to measure – Average age of the work order

Current result – 222.8 days

Target result – 180 days

By when – December 31, 2006

How do we plan to meet the target – We intend to implement a tree trimmer apprenticeship program to reduce the time required to fill tree trimmer positions. In addition, we intend to retire the oldest bucket and log loader, replacing them with new equipment to reduce equipment shop time. Current data suggests that loss of each log loader, for instance, will reduce takedowns by 6.57 per week per loader. Without a timely return to service, we will miss the target by as many days as the equipment is off line. We will outsource the work to reduce the backlog. The amount required by a contractor will vary from job to job depending on the size of the tree, its location, and its condition. If we assume an average of $4,000 per tree based on our current backlog of 412 takedowns, we will need and allocation of roughly $1,650,000.

16

PARKS: FORESTRY (3)

Area of focus – Forestry Routine Tree Takedowns

What do we want to measure – Average age of the work order

Current result – 222.8 days

Target result – 60 calendar days

By when – December 31, 2008

How do we plan to meet the target – We will add one more crew and necessary equipment to the current configuration. With the additional crew, we would re-organize the work to devote two crews to takedowns only. The remaining three crews would perform trimming and other maintenance, extending the life of the trees and delaying the need for takedowns. The new crew would provide backup for personnel and equipment on the take down crews to cover leave time and equipment maintenance or repair. Finally, the fifth crew will improve our responsiveness during inclement weather and other emergencies, allowing us to improve our production levels by 67% with a reduction in tree related demands currently made of AFR and DPW.

To improve production on stump grinding and removal, we will add an additional stump grinding crew (Crew Supervisor, Parks Worker Principle, and Parks Worker Senior) with equipment. The additional crew will enable us to reduce the average age of a stump work order from 227 days to 110 days.

We will implement an equipment replacement program that will deadline our largest pieces after no more than eight years, instead of the current fifteen to nineteen years. Reduced shop time will improve emergency responsiveness and allow us to meet production schedules.

PARKS: MOWING AND TRIMMING (1)

Area of focus – Parks Mowing and Trimming

What do we want to measure – Percentage of mowing and trimming done on a ten-day cycle

Current result – 93% Target result – 98%

By when – December 31, 2005

How do we plan to meet the target – We will meet this target because we do not aerate or fertilize turf in parks. Grass grows at a slower rate and the quality of the turf is less than desired for a major city parks system. Because of the conditions, we are able to perform at this level in spite of down equipment and hours lost to leave and workers’ compensation. Extensive use of community service workers for litter control and some trimming permits our regular crews to focus on mowing and additional trimming.

PARKS: MOWING AND TRIMMING (2)

Area of focus – Parks Mowing and Trimming

What do we want to measure – Percentage of mowing and trimming done on a ten-day cycle with aerating and fertilization

Current result –0%

Target result – 100%

By when – December 31, 2006

How do we plan to meet the target – In 2006 we will implement weed eradication, turf fertilization and aeration programs in regional and in high profile community and neighborhood parks. These cultural practices will increase the rate of growth, increase the durability of the turf, and improve the quality of the turf to the extent that it will be noticeable to discerning observers. The higher rate of turf growth will slow our mowing equipment, which will be unable to cover the same area in the same period of time. To meet the target we will need more reliable equipment and the continued support of the community service workers.

18

PARKS: MOWING AND TRIMMING (3)

Area of focus – Parks Mowing and Trimming

What do we want to measure – Percentage of mowing and trimming done on a seven-day cycle with aerating and fertilizing

Current result – 0%

Target result – 100%

By when – December 31, 2007

How do we plan to meet the target – To achieve a seven day mowing and trimming cycle we will add an additional crew (Parks Supervisor, Parks Worker Senior, and two Seasonal Maintenance Workers) to each district. This will allow us to reduce the number of parks assigned to each crew. In addition, with increased weed control, fertilization, aeration, an improved equipment replacement program and the continued support of the Community Service Worker Program, this target can be met.

19

PARKS: MOWING AND TRIMMING (4)

Area of focus – Parks Mowing and Trimming

What do we want to measure – Percentage of mowing and trimming done on a five-day cycle for high profile and regional parks; and on a seven day cycle on other parks

Current result – 0%

Target result – 100%

By when – December 31, 2009

How do we plan to meet the target – To achieve a five-day cycle, we will trade many 60-inch mowers for 11-foot mowers per crew. We will add one Parks Worker, Principal to each district and purchase an additional 16-foot mower. We will have two 16-foot mowers in each district to achieve the increased mowing frequency. Based on a weekly schedule, we will mow cross- directionally (e.g. East-West one week and North-South another week).

How do we plan to meet the target- The after school program will look to increase enrollment during the 2005-2006 school year, through collaborations with traditional lines of communication available with the Atlanta Public School system. Each recreation center manager will further seek to develop exceptional, cooperative relationship with principals and counselors at schools in their catchment area. We will make use of walking, junior bulletin boards made available by the City of Atlanta to raise awareness of the program to parents and the community. Informational brochures and posters will be distributed to Atlanta Schools beginning in July. On a continual basis these brochures will be distributed at PTA Open House functions, in the recreation centers, at NPU meetings and during youth sports registration periods throughout the year. Additionally, we will annually market the after school program to participants in the Camp Best Friends program. Annually the recreation centers will hold after school open house events for community residents one week before school starts. Also, banners will be hung outside each recreation center announcing the start of the after school season.

28 X. Budget / Funding Request

Strategic Budget Our strategic budget differs from our Annual Budget in that the strategic budget focuses, instead, on the top revenue and expenditures that comprise the majority of our department by size and scale and anticipated opportunities. Purpose Budget/Funding Request Our strategic budget is primarily comprised of staffing, benefits, Facilities CDP List $80 million overhead, supplies and capital improvements. Acquisition 400 Acres @ 500,000 per acre = $200,000,000 Maintenance Currently $3,700 per acre Need $5,100 per acre Revenue and Cost Cutting Strategies 1. Opportunity Bond – 105 million dollar bond over 3 to 5 years will increase greenspace along the , add recreation amenities, allow new park lands and significantly increase infrastructure in our existing facilities and amenities. 2. General Fund – Park maintenance needs to be increased by a million dollars per year for the next 5 years. 3. CDP – As a result of our ability to finance 50% of our existing CDP, a new process needs to be identified. 4. Foundation – Create a 501c3 Foundation to leverage private investment to address capital and maintenance needs. 5. Fees – Support the “No Child Left Behind” initiative and sustain, as much as possible, cost recovery. 6. Collaborate – Create collaborative partnerships to reduce program costs. 7. Grants – Research and apply for grants to support program initiatives and funding. 8. Encourage Self-supporting programs – Sources of funding for programs from the general fund are not enough to administer current programs and will continue to be supported through fees and charges for services. 9. Increase Subsidized programs – Major programs in certain departments will continue to be supported through subsidies and grants. 10. Maintain governmental funding of programs – With our primary sources of funds from the General Fund (96%), we will continue to support all programs at the current activity level. We intend, over the next five years, to continue significant General Fund budget requests that will allow us to be at “Best-of-Class” in 2009. 11. Adjust Fees to cover costs – Currently fees charged for services are not enough to cover the costs for providing the service to customers. We will maintain or adjust fees as appropriate to cover the costs for administration and staffing. Fee adjustments will be implemented in alignment with the department’s Cost Recovery Plan, particularly as it relates to youth programs and charges to the economically disadvantaged. In the future, we hope to create self-supporting programs that will generate funding to cover the administration and staffing as well as supplies to support the activities. Our future projections include a planned increase in support and activity level at Parks and Recreation Facilities that will result in an increase in revenues from fees and charges for services. It is anticipated that this additional revenue will reduce the excess administrative costs to currently support programs that are not self-supporting.

31 XI. Conclusion

Extensive thought, discussion and energy have been contributed to this Strategic Plan draft document. It is a concise, coherent document that is intended to foster the respect of all DPRCA stakeholders and especially residents of the City of Atlanta.

We recognize that the City of Atlanta will continue experiencing rapid population growth during the next 5 years. The challenge DPRCA faces in working with residents of the City is to not only meet future resident needs but to maintain and improve existing service delivery. Our efforts will contribute to making the City of Atlanta a beautiful place to live, work and play.

Achieving sustainable and recurring revenue sources is essential to achieving the Departmental Strategies outlined in this document. We are thankful for the tireless efforts of our City staff. To accomplish our goals we will continue to rely upon the support of the community and the leadership of Mayor Shirley Franklin and the Atlanta City Council.
