7. Overall Site Ratings

8. Recommended Site: Bushin Property Outdoor pool adjacency: 5th and 6th pool to ease overcrowding More swim instruction & other summer programs Co-location enables resource-sharing, savings Scored high on all 7 site- selection criteria Space not earmarked for a playing field Large enough for a 20,000 sq. ft. footprint Access to outdoor pool parking (under-utilized Fall through Spring)

9. Facility Design

10. Space Allocation Footprint = 20,000 Sq. Ft. Total Area = 29,800 Sq. Ft.

11. Space for 6 simultaneously scheduled classes (opens up for larger space for concerts, large meetings) Raised platform to serve as “stage” (for public assemblies, parties and dances) Soundproofed aerobics room with shock- proofed floor Multi-Purpose Community Area

12. Main Pool - 8 lanes, 25 yards long, 4 to 8 feet deep Deep-water diving “L” - off the deep end of the pool (20 x 30 feet, 12 ft. deep) Shallow, warm-water pool - 20 x 40 feet Indoor-outdoor technology so pools can open to outdoor pool in summer Aquatic Area

13. Treadmills, stationary bikes, stair climbers, and other aerobic equipment Nautilus stations and other weight- training machines Fitness Equipment Area

14. Locker rooms Offices and administrative space Small kitchen Vending machines Child-care room Rest rooms Common Shared Facilities

15. Programs

16. Basis –Study of 55 recreational facilities located around the U.S. Detailed telephone calls On-site visits Review of informational materials Research Findings

17. Most successful facilities offer pools that meet needs of different user groups at the same time (Seniors, disabled, and preschool children prefer shallow, warm pools) There is a substantial market in swim classes for preschool and school-aged children Pools in school buildings tend to be more school- oriented and less community-oriented Recently built pools adopt a community center model, offering a variety of “wet and dry” activities appealing to a broad array of users Research Findings

23. Management

24. Management of the more successful community centers were characterized by their - devotion to programming - community-oriented nature - entrepreneurial spirit Complex programming opportunities have best been exploited by - entrepreneurial persons - incentivized as in the private sector Background

25. Form a non-profit community organization to manage the SCC - Management would be pursuant to an agreement with and subject to limitations imposed by the Village. - The model for the management is the Scarsdale Library Recommendations

26. SCC Finances

27. Thomas Group concluded that the facility cost estimate should be increased 7.5% from $7.9 M to $8.5 M Village staff report: acceptable risk is $360,000 per year Validation

28. Changes from the original projections –14% increase in membership rates –7.5% increase in projected construction costs –25% discount in membership rate for seniors The result is –projections with lower risk –projections reflect Village staff and consultant comments Projection Modifications

29. Operating Revenue = $1,365,000 Membership = $854,000 Program Income = $391,000 Add’l Income = $120,000

30. Operating Revenue $1,365,000 Operating Expense 720,000 Interest Income (32,000) Interest Expense 218,000 Net Cash Flow $459,000 First Year Cash Flow

31. Reserve balance grows from $459,000 after year one to $1.6 million after fifth year of operation Result - a significant cushion protects against the need for taxpayer support Reserve Cushion

32. Assume: –Only 75% of the projected membership is achieved –Only 50% of the projected income from aquatic and other programs is realized –No attempt is made to curtail expenses Average annual "at risk" position for this scenario = $170,000 thru year five Sensitivity of Reserve Cushion to Projection Shortfall

33. The Subscription Program: the Committee seeks 1,200 members to commit to membership for three years and to prepay the third year. 1,200 members will result in committed income of $1.9 million with $640,000 cash collected. Further Risk Mitigation

34. If this level of commitment can be achieved, we believe community support for the proposed SCC will be demonstrated and the risk of any taxpayer support ever being necessary will be negligible. Further Risk Mitigation
