'+.~r PARKS AND RECREATIfJN ADVISORY BOARD AGENDA ITEM
DECEMBER 2002
MID MONTH PACKET
Agenda Title: Strategic Plannmg 2003/Department Workplan
Requesting Department: Jan Geden, CPRP, Director of Pazks and Recrearion
Fiscal Impact: None
Purpose: To provide the Pazks and Recreahon Advisory Boazd wrth a descnphon of
the 2003 Strategic Plamm~g Process and present the 2003 Department of
Parks and Recrearion pnonrized workplan.
Background In September of 2002, a new strategic plannmg process was mtroduced in
the Department of Pazks and Recreation. The purpose of the process was
~,.~.., to clanfy the DepartmenYs operational ob~echves for the next three-to-five
r„~,, years and provide a format for the d~scussion and placuung of 2003
workplans and pro~ects
Analysis: In 2002, the Department of Parks and Recreation faced many challenges.
Staff turnover at key leaderslup posihons (Director, Parks Planning and
Construction Supenntendent, Recrearion Superintendent) and the riming
of the lunng of a new director m November 2001 created a delay in the
development of the 2002 workplan. Once it was developed, key elements
of the 2002 plan revolved around crearing a process to allow for the
complerion of the 2003 workplan by December, 2002 and revising the
format to allow for cross-drnsional mterface and cleazer defimtion of
pro~ected hmehnes.
The development of the 2003 workplan began in September 2002 with a
discussion of the overall operahonal direction of the departtnent wittun tYte
next 3-5 yeazs Dunng that period, the Department of Pazks and
Recreahon will focus on two broad overarclung goals:
• Create a strong, viable business operation
• Strengthen our environmental focus
~ Followmg ttus operauonal duechon, department leaderstup developed four
overarchmg goals for 2003:
~
• Provide quality parks and recreation facilities and services --
for the Boulder Community
• Promote and practice environmental sustainability of our
human and natural resources
• Manage for effectiveness, e~ciency, sustainability and
accountability in all aspects of department functioning
while upholding public policy and the democratic process
• Promote staff wellness (health and vitality) as a foundation
for the department's daily operarion
Based on our operational duechon and department goals, each Division
was charged with developmg 2003 workplans. Imhal drafts of division
workplans were reviewed by the Director and each Division Manager and
copies of all plans were d~stnbuted to the Management Team for review
and feedback Ma~or Department Imtiahves were plotted on a master
calendar, (Attachment 1), mcorporated mto Division plan development
and compazed agamst Division goals and hmehnes
Based on a companson of Drvis~onal workplans, The Department of Pazks
and Recreation will undeRake five ma~or department-wide uuhahves m
2003:
~'~-
• Update Department Master Plan ~
• Conduct Department Fee Study
• Continue Valmont Park Development Initiatives
• Conduct Orientation Of Two New
Superintendents/Reorganizarion of Parks Planning and
Construction
• Begin Department Certification Process
Each department-wide mihahve will be a part of every Division's
workplan at vanous pnonty levels and requiring varying amounts of staff
rime and resources.
Although most of these uuUahves aze self explanatory, a couple of azeas
require fiuther informat~on. In 2003, The Division of Pazks Plazuung and
Construchon will be renamed Plamung and Development Sernces and
will reorgazuze to encompass not only its current funchons but also to
dnve strategic plannmg for the enhre depaztment. The current Division of
Environxnental Resources will become a wut wrthm Plamm~g and
Development Services and will provide the technical expemse and support
necessary to mfuse an environmental focus mto our future strategic
direcrion and operarions The Division of Plamm~g and Development
Sernces v~nll serve as the dnver for developmg our department sh~ategic ~"*,
Page 2
,~, plan and creahng a cross-departmental approach to how we plan work and
w,,.~ allocate resources
Our operarional duechon of creahng a strong, viable busmess will take us
down the path of eventually pursmng CAPRA (Commission for
Accreditahon of Pazks and RecreaUon Agencies) accreditarion.
Accreditahon is a 19-step process mvolvmg a self-assessment study based
on 156 overall standards. The standards apply to all public pazks and
recreahon systems, masmuch as they aze considered to be the elements for
effective and efficient operahons The focus of the standards is on the
operahonal systems of an agency rather than on the specific elements of its
services or programs. The standazds aze orgazuzed in ten ma~or categones.
Agency Authonty, Role and Responsibihty; Plamm~g, Orgamzadon and
Admmistration, Human Resources; Fmance (Fiscal Policy and
Management), Program and Services Management; Facility and Land Use
Management; Safety and Secunty; Ttisk Management; and Evaluatron and
Reseazch. Cerhficahon ts an intensive process requmng resources, energy
and support on the part of sYaff, leaderslup and the Board. Although
CAPRA certificahon is currendy hsted as a 2003 ma~or imhat~ve and the
analysis of how to effectuate the cemficarion process is scheduled to begin
m the last quarter of 2003, proceedmg with cemficahon may be delayed if
budget constrauits require pnontizing in other azeas The Department fully
,„~.,, anhcipates that currendy undefined budget and drought related issues may
„~,,,, require repnont~zahon of our workplan.
Attachment 2 A-F is the overa112003 pnonty goals and pro~ecfs for the
Department. Each Drvision Manager was asked to create a comprehensive
plan and then pnonrize their pro~ects for the purpose of focus, recoguzmg
that as rime progresses pnoritres may sluft and other elements of their
plans may become a lugher pnonty
The pnontzed plan mcluded m ttus report is compiled m the followmg
format
- OVERALL DEPARTMENT INITIATIVES & TIMELINES
- DIVISION PRIORITIZED PLANS
• Division Level Goals
• Priority Work Plan Projects for 2003
• Core Services
As you look through these plans, one important concept to keep m mmd is
that a ma~onty of the departmenYs resources aze allocated towazd
delivenng core services. Core services compnse approximately 30-60% of
a Division's allocahon of hme and effort. Accomphslung the pnonty
~ goals of Division plans wh~le mazntaimng core sernces and dnving the
DepartmenYs ma~or miriahves compnses an aggressive and fulfilhng
Page 3
workload. The remaimng divisional pro~ects aze not mcluded m tlus ~'-,
report. Our mtent is to inform you of the major departmental uutiatives, ~
operational prionhes and core sernces. If you wish to view the 2003
Department workplan in its entuety, it can be viewed on our intemet site
at: hrin•//www.ci.boulder.co.us/nazks-
recreahon/about n_r/about P R_ma~n htm. A hard copy also available for
review at our Ins Center Offices.
The planmng process that created our 2003 plan will continue to evolve as
we focus on how to allocate time, staff, and resources across the
department to aclueve our strategic objecrives. The ma~or benefits denved
from the process this yeaz were the opporhuuty to look as a leaderslup
group at the work of each Division, clanfy cross-dinsional interface,
determme workload issues and define workload management.
