10 <br /> <br />Non-personnel savings would result from the elimination of temporary salaries and <br />referee contracts related to adult sports, as well as from modifying or eliminating <br />non-cost recovering City-sponsored events, including the Hometown Holiday <br />Celebration, Rose Show, Movies in the Park, and some cultural celebrations. <br />Approximately $870,000 in total savings will be offset by approximately $240,000 per <br />year in lost revenue, which is reflected in the totals above. <br /> <br />Community impacts for the changes to adult sports will have a minimal impact on <br />Pleasanton residents, as 2024 data shows that nearly three quarters of adult sport <br />league participants are non-residents. It’s important to note that the adult sports <br />programs recover less than 50% of their costs, failing to meet even the lowest <br />threshold of 51-75% cost recovery (as set in the City’s Master Fee Schedule). <br />Players will still be able to create their own leagues and rent the fields and courts for <br />play. The community will be impacted by reductions or the elimination of cherished <br />events, such as the Hometown Holiday Celebration, although staff could explore <br />alternate models that do not involve City staff time, including partnerships and <br />sponsorships, where feasible. Organizational impacts include the elimination of 3.0 <br />FTE personnel positions that are currently vacant. Vacant positions are not currently <br />associated with adult sports or special events, necessitating a reorganization and <br />movement of staff to other areas of the recreation division. <br /> <br />Parks, Streets, and Facilities - $1.75 million total savings <br /> <br />7. Reduce park and trail maintenance - $920,000 Year 1, $940,000 Year 2 <br />This reduction involves both non-personnel expenses and personnel expenses. <br />Non-personnel reductions include things like elimination of mowing contracts and <br />reduction in irrigation frequency at City parks. Community impacts would include a <br />reduction in the upkeep and appearance of City parks and trails. Personnel impacts <br />include elimination of 4.0 FTE staff positions, 2.0 FTE of which are currently vacant. <br /> <br />This item is recommended because, at nearly $1.0 million, it is one of the largest <br />overall program reduction categories available by reducing, without eliminating, a <br />valued community service. <br /> <br />8. Reduce janitorial services at City parks and facilities - $550,000 starting in Year 1 <br />Savings from this item consist of only non-personnel reductions to existing contracts. <br />In most cases, daily janitorial services will be reduced from daily to twice weekly, <br />and trash pickup at City parks and facilities, including the Library, Senior Center, <br />Veterans Memorial Building, and others, will occur less frequently. Community <br />impacts would include a reduction in the cleanliness and appearance of City parks <br />and facilities. This reduction would have minimal organizational impacts, since it <br />affects contracted work only, with no direct personnel impacts. City staff may be <br />affected by a reduction in the upkeep of office space and facilities. <br /> <br />Page 12 of 40
