City of Hallandale Beach Parks Master Plan

Exhibit 2

HallandaleParks Master Plan Operations Estimate

The master plan operations estimates are based on the following assumptions:

  • Reflects the site master plans for parks and other facilities as developed by Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Inc.
  • Includes operations estimates for the four new or soon to be completed parks and other facilities that are not included as part of the master plan process.
  • These are very general estimates only based on early concept drawings for facilities.
  • Any retail or food service operations (except sports field concessions) will be contracted.
  • Aquatic center operations will continue to be contracted to an outside organization.
  • Most of therecreation programming at the fields and community centers will be provided by the Parks & Recreation Department or PAL.
  • Expenses and revenues have not been broken out by any specific department and could include Parks & Recreation, PAL and Public Works.
  • All expenses and revenues are in addition to any existing for the current park or facility.
  • Expenditure estimates include a lower level of staffing and other potential costs have been estimated at the low end of the threshold.
  • A very conservative estimate of potential revenues has been developed.

Specific Park Assumptions and Operating Cost/Revenue Estimates:

Master Plan Facilities

The following are basic assumptions and calculations for operating expenses and revenues for each of the proposed master plan park development options.

Bluesten Park

Assumptions:

  • The existing park amenities will be replaced.
  • The park will be expanded to the east and will be nearly double in size.
  • The swimming/pool water park is significantly larger than the existing pool and it will be managed by an outside organization.
  • This will serve as the community’s signature park and will require a higher level of maintenance.
  • The indoor athletic center will include a gymnasium, large community room, racquetball courts, PAL offices and other spaces. It will be approximately 25,000 SF in size.

New Operations Budget Estimates:

Park / Expenses / Revenues / Difference
South Beach / $34,000 / $25,000 / (9,000)

North Beach

Assumptions:

  • Two alternative plans have been developed for the park but the components are the same with only slight differences in the location and configuration of the amenities. As a result only a single operations estimate has been completed.
