2018 Adopted Annual Operating & Capital Improvement Budget

ADMINISTRATION
Statement of Purpose
The Administration Program assures high quality department outcomes.
Description
The Administration Program assures that programs, activities, parks and trails, exhibits and community events support
the department outcomes of personal development and personal enjoyment. The program conserves and preserves
land in the Village for the enjoyment of Village residents as parks, trails and open spaces through the acquisition of
land. Additionally, the program is responsible for the application and reporting of grants.
Accomplishments
In 2017, the Parks, Trails and Recreation department continued to support community events, youth and adult art and
recreation programs, planning and implementing park projects and parks maintenance. The Village received an
Arapahoe County Open Spaces planning grant of $40,000 for the Greenwood Gulch Trail Undercrossing at Orchard
Road feasibility study. In addition, staff applied to Arapahoe County Open Spaces for Joint Project funding of $800,000
to construct Phase IV of the Village Greens North Master Plan and for a small grant of $97,500 to construct an extension
to the Carson Skatepark through their fall grant cycle. Department staff looked at how department outcomes were
measured and determined that overall, they accurately reflected outcomes; % of capacity was added to the program
reporting so that staff could easily determine which classes to build on and which might need a hiatus.
Goals/Objectives
In 2018, the department will continue to seek grant funding from Arapahoe County Open Spaces. The department will
implement a new online registration system through CivicRec for 2018 classes which will replace the existing ASAP
program. Changing to the new program will allow for the department to also offer online park permitting and special
event ticketing through the online CivicRec system as well which would greatly increase customer service.
