Operation of Hephzibah Park/Carroll Community Center
Department:Recreation and Parks Tom F. Beck, Jr. Director
Caption:Report from the Administrator regarding the proposal for a
lease with the City of Hephzibah to take over operations of
Hephzibah Park/Carroll Community Center. (Referred from
January 29 Public Services)
Background:Hephzibah Park/Carroll Community Center, owned by
Augusta-Richmond County and operated by Augusta
Recreation and Parks, has been recommended to be closed as
a staffed recreation site as a part of the 2007 budget
reductions. The full time employee at the site will be
eliminated. This facility was recommended due to serving
fewer citizens with programs and activities than other
recreation centers across the park system. To attempt to keep
services on-going at the center, discussions were initiated
with the City of Hephzibah to discuss options of keeping the
facilities open.
Analysis:After discussions between staff and City of Hephzibah
officials, the City of Hephzibah has submitted a proposal to
take over all operations at the park, including staffing,
program management, building and park maintenance and
payment of all utilities. Their proposal is requesting that
Augusta deed the property(18.74 acres) to the City of
Hephzibah for this purpose. Discussions also included that
should the property be deeded, the property could be used
solely for public recreation purposes and should that
discontinue, the property would revert back to Augusta.
Financial Impact:Should this proposal be accepted, the savings in operational
costs to Augusta would be @$40,000 annually.
Alternatives:1. To approve, keeping recreation services on-going in
Hephzibah with the City of Hephzibah operating the park,
with Augusta saving @$40,000 in operational costs,
including eliminating one full time position. 2. Close the
facility as an active recreation site and turn into a rental
building only. Full time employee would be eliminated and
building would be booked out of administrative office of
Recreation and Parks. No recreation programs would be
offered. Total savings would be @25,000. 3. Keep the
operation as is, operated as an active recreation site by
Augusta Recreation and Parks, with a net cost of @$40,000
annually.

Funds are
Available in the
