2011 Budget

The East Bay Regional Park District’s Board of Directors approved the 2011 balanced operating and project budgets, which are the financial plans to guide the District during the coming year.  The 2011 budget encompasses the policies and vision of the Board of Directors, as well as specific plans and programs to be continued or implemented to efficiently manage and preserve 65 regional parks, over 107,487 acres of property and 1,100 miles of trails within Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

Assembling the District’s budget in the current economic environment is challenging.  The deterioration of property values, and the on-going economic recession require continued frugality.  However, the organizational value and the past practice of prudent fiscal planning and conservative fiscal administration by the District’s Board of Directors and management, allow the District’s financial status to remain secure despite unstable economic conditions.

The District’s prudent planning is exemplified by the Board’s decision to designate the 2009 General Fund revenue in excess of expenditures ($9 million) as fund balance for “smoothing”.  It was anticipated that during the three to four year recovery of property values, the designated fund balance would be used bolster reduced property tax revenues and maintain current service levels.  To this end, the 2011 General Fund budget includes the planned use of $3.5 million of the fund balance designated for smoothing.

The District’s 2011 budget is balanced and totals $188.1 million for all funds.  The District’s budgeted resources include:

•    Property tax and special assessments          65%
•    Use of fund balance                                  23%
•    Charges for services and miscellaneous        10%
•    Investment earnings and property usage       2%

The following are the planned uses of the District’s 2011 resources:

•    Operating costs                               63%
•    Debt service                                   17%
•    Capital, equipment and projects         12%
•    Grants and related expenditures           8%
