TOWN OF MOUNT PLEASANT, SOUTH CAROLINA RECREATION COMMITTEE Monday, March 2, 2020 Municipal Complex, Committee Meeting Room, 3rd Floor 100 Ann Edwards Lane, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464 Minutes Members Present: Gary Santos, Chair; Jake Rambo, G. M. Whitley Staff Present: Eric DeMoura, Steve Gergick Mr. Santos called the meeting to order at 8:15 a.m. 1. Approval of Minutes from the December 2, 2019 meeting Mr. Rambo made a motion to approve the December 2, 2019 minutes. Ms. Whitley seconded the motion. All were in favor. 2. Public Comments Mr. Tripp Moye, a coach for a basketball team from Mount Pleasant Academy, said the due to the fee increase to rent gym space they had to cut back practices as parents could not afford the rental rate. He asked for consideration of rates in years to come especially for public schools that do not have a gym. He said he and other stakeholders would like to work with the Town of Mount Pleasant to spearhead a way to create a long-term vision of the recreation space. Mr. Nick Crist said he lived in Mount Pleasant and there was a lack of outdoor community fitness areas for something besides biking and running such as a space for pull ups and dips. He said there was an optimal area by the bridge to put a hybrid gathering area for the community with fitness bars, splash park, and dog park. He said he and a friend put together a proposal and would like to reach out to local gyms and do a private/public awareness to raise some funds together to have something for outdoor workouts. Mr. Al Bradshaw-Whittemore, 577 Antebellum Lane, Mount Pleasant, said the pickleball courts at Miriam Brown look great and they appreciate them. He said there would be the Third Annual Pickleball Tournament the next weekend. 3. Employee of the Month Recreation Committee March 2, 2020 Page 2 of 5 Mr. Gergick introduced Mr. Keith Keller and said he was instrumental in the refinishing of the Park West Pool over the holidays. He said Mr. Keller worked closely with the contractors and monitored the project daily and through the weekends to reopen on January 6 as planned. He said with the departure of the Aquatics Coordinator in mid-December, Mr. Keller stepped up as the lead on the project. Mr. Gergick introduced Ms. Nicole Ashby as the new Aquatic Coordinator. She previously was with the City of Charleston. 4. Budget Review FY 2021 a. Recreation Department operating expenditures Mr. DeMoura reviewed the highlights of the Recreation Budget. He said they are proposing an increase of four percent to the budget which was $297,000. He said $260,000 was salaries, retirement, contributions, and pay for performance. He said there were no new positions recommended. He said some notable expenses were salaries and wages temporary with a $86,000 increase over last year’s budget due to South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) requirements for lifeguard coverages. Mr. Gergick said the SCDHEC requirements went into effect a few years ago. He said there was a requirement for one guard for every 25 in the pool, but they always need to have two guards as a guard works a 45-minute shift with rotations. He said the primary increases were in the programs, group lessons, and the WATER Program. He said they had to increase hours worked to be able to meet the SCDHEC requirement. He said they had a pay increase because they had a difficult time filling the lifeguard positions and there was a change for longevity. He said the average lifeguard starts at $11.59 per hour and gets 50 cents increase per year of longevity. The Committee and staff discussed rental revenue increases and increased participation numbers with Aquatics and Senior Center memberships. Mr. DeMoura said that under Contractual Services there was the Patriots Point contract which was the amount of money that the Department leases from College of Charleston for the ball fields and soccer fields which was $24,000 and the largest item in Contractual Services. Recreation Committee March 2, 2020 Page 3 of 5 The Committee and staff discussed the utilization and revenue of the Town’s fields and the possibility of tournaments. They discussed there would be a great opportunity with the new stadium that Council has approved for Carolina Park. Mr. DeMoura said the Recreation Budget included the purchase of banners for sponsorships with the money that comes into the program and it was a $5000 expenditure. He said that under General Supplies there was a decrease of $45,000. He said that money had been allocated to the other programs that are associated. He said they had general increases in camps and programs. He said that most of that was offset by revenue that comes in. b. Recreation Department capital and maintenance expenditures Mr. DeMoura said with Mount Pleasant Way there was the funding of $500,000 in Greenbelt Funds and $150,000 in Recreation impact fees. He said Mr. Rambo asked a good question at the last Budget Committee Meeting about whether than money could reallocated. He said that it was grant match money associated with that project so they could not move it. Mr. Rambo asked what the amount was of the grant match and if it was a 50/50 match. Ms. Cotov said the whole project was $300,000 of which they had accepted and when the project was completed, they are eligible to get a $100,000 back. She said $200,000 was the match to get the additional $100,000 for that project. Mr. Rambo asked if previous Council voted to give those matching funds. Mr. DeMoura said he was not aware of a grant that they had turned down in the past. He said that usually they try to pursue every grant that they can. He said that Council supported the project, so they normally group together as many funding sources as possible. He said if Council would like to revisit that or if Council would like them not to pursue the grant it could come as recommendation from this Committee. The Committee discussed grants and the expenditure to obtain them. Recreation Committee March 2, 2020 Page 4 of 5 Mr. DeMoura said they could piece together this project in the near term. He said over the life of the project they expect it to be a significant expenditure. He said they plan to put pieces in the Mount Pleasant Way quickly once the design was in place and once Council Members have had the opportunity to review it and sign off on it. Mr. Santos said they need to encourage public/private partnerships and that would possibly encourage others to step forward. Mr. DeMoura said with the 250 acres of recreation property jointly owned by the Town and Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission (CCPRC), this money was going toward opening trails. He said while there was no funding to create ball fields and facilities, they would have the funding to start opening opportunities for the public to walk the land. The Committee discussed matching funds and projects. Mr. DeMoura said they could deliver a recommendation to the Budget Committee and they would reallocate the money toward something else. The Committee and staff discussed participation in outdoor activities, Mount Pleasant Way, the use of Greenbelt Funds, and public/private partnerships. Mr. DeMoura said there was allocations in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Carolina Park IV. He said there was $200,000 in hospitality recreation for that project. He said there was money for the Park West Pool with $550,000 was the beginning allocation to build up money to renovate that project. He said they discussed at the last Budget Committee Meeting possibly transferring those funds toward the stadium project. He said two replacement vehicles are programmed in the budget. The Committee and staff discuss rental revenue allocations and contractual services in Recreation. Mr. DeMoura said if they were comfortable with the budget, they would appreciate a recommendation to the Budget Committee. Ms. Whitley said in the CIP component there was a move at the Budget Committee to move forward with Oceanside joint stadium project. She asked if the Recreation Committee would have to make Recreation Committee March 2, 2020 Page 5 of 5 a recommendation that involves that or was the Recreation Committee approving what was presented to them at this meeting. Mr. DeMoura said they could do it either way. He said they could weigh in on capital priorities for the Recreation Department. He said it was discussed at Budget Committee to authorize the stadium project and at some point, they would be looking for funding for that project. He said rather than addressing that now, they may want to wait for when the full CIP comes up for adoption and they could look at all the projects at the same times. Ms. Whitley recommended that they approve the Recreation Department FY 2021 Budget as presented. Mr. Rambo seconded the motion. All were in favor. 5. Program/projects update Mr. Gergick said the WATER program was offered to elementary school students throughout Mount Pleasant for $5 for a series of lessons. He said children are bussed to Jones Center Pool or the Park West Pool. He said it was to help stop them from drowning and teach them to swim and be comfortable in the water. He said in 2018 there were 374 children and in 2019 there was 1,300 children. Mr. Gergick gave an update on the recent and upcoming events in the Recreation Department. 6. Adjourn There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Karen Bedenbaugh, 3/2/2020
