(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.
