5 1.1 INTRODUCTION - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The PROS Consulting Team has been retained by The City to conduct a Lines of Service Review for the Recreation Business Unit as it prepares the City s Action Plan budget process. This report includes the results of work that has been conducted over an eleven week period. It makes some general observations of how Recreation is currently operating, and specifically focuses on developing and classifying each line of service utilizing the PROS Community Values Model. This work will also include recommendations on performance metrics to assist the business unit in measuring the success of its work. Performance measures developed were based on a PROS Methodology that emphasizes not only the effectiveness of work, but the efficiency of it as well. 1.2 PROJECT PROCESS The process for conducting the Lines of Service Review of the Recreation Business Unit consisted of the following elements: REVIEW OF ORGANIZATIONAL DATA A substantial amount of data was provided to PROS by The City and the information can be broken down into ten areas that are detailed below: Business unit structure for each service provided, (organizational/functional charts) Current and previous business plans including levels of service and current standards Program, facility and service offerings Current Cost Recovery goals and results for program, facility and service offerings Key performance measures and targets Organizational or operational review reports (annual reports) Executive Summary of Business Unit Budget Executive Summary of Partnership Agreements Current and previous business plans including levels of service and current standards Program, facility and service offerings REVIEW OF EXISTING LINES OF SERVICE The Recreation Business Unit as whole and then each of the existing lines of service were reviewed to gain an understanding of each of the existing lines of service. The lines of service as developed by Calgary Recreation before the project was initiated were as follows: Arenas, Athletic Parks and Sports Development AASD Arts and Culture Development ACD Aquatics, Fitness and Leisure Centres AFLC 1

COMMUNITY VALUES MODEL - DEVELOPMENT OF LINES OF SERVICE AND SUB-SERVICES The Community Values Model is utilized as the foundation to assess data and to inform analysis and draw conclusions as a result of these investigations. The Community Values Model is a model that has been developed and used by PROS. The model and its strategic objectives have been widely used as the foundation for completed and implemented master plans, cost of service studies, business plans and 2
7 Lines of Service Review feasibility studies in over 900 park and recreation agencies in North America. It has proven to be a meaningful way to look at an organizational unit and assess it from six perspectives. The following table outlines these six perspectives and identifies the main concepts that relate to each. Utilizing the PROS Community Values Model, new lines of service and sub-services were defined. CLASSIFICATION OF SERVICES AND SUB-SERVICES PROS Consulting worked with key management staff on what they consider to be core/essential services, important services, and value-added services based on observations, interviews, and operating practices for each line of service and sub-services. PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT DEVELOPMENT The Consulting Team conducted two workshops with the management team to develop performance measures for each line of service and sub-service with impact metrics established and outcomes to be achieved based on effectiveness and efficiency. INFORMATION GAP ANALYSIS Upon completion of the processes outlined above, PROS conducted an information gap analysis to determine what information is necessary to be developed in order to assist the Recreation Business Unit in successfully managing forward. 3
8 City of Calgary Recreation Business Unit 2.1 BUSINESS UNIT OVERVIEW - LINES OF SERVICE DEVELOPMENT The City s Recreation Business Unit (Recreation) is one of the business units within the Community Services and Protective Services Department. The business unit s Recreation for LIFE service approach is founded on the belief that participation in recreation is important throughout an individual s life, regardless of ability. Basic skill development is required in order to encourage and maintain participation throughout life. Recreation offers programs and services that promote physical activity and creative involvement across all ages and development levels. 2.2 CALGARY RECREATION BY THE NUMBERS ,423 participants ages eight to 15 took part in the junior lifesaving club 800+ drop-in opportunities were made available to Calgarians 307,833 online recreation program guide visits 45 public art projects 320 events over 676 event days More than 1,000 participants celebrated Cultural Days 25,577 Fee Assistance Recipients 2.3 METHODOLOGY The PROS Team utilized the PROS Community Values Model to align Recreation's lines of service (LOS) & sub-services with Recreation s Master Plan and current organizational structure. The guidelines deployed are as follows: 1. Not all lines of services will have a sub-service. 2. All services and budgets under the current business plans and budgets must be included. 3. The lines of service and sub-services should cover the entire business unit budget with no overlap or gaps. 4. The lines of service and sub-services should outline a functional or logical grouping that is meaningful and distinctive to the business unit under review. 5. In developing the sub-services, it is important to keep in mind that the complexity and volume of information gathering and data analysis would likely increase with each subservice, so the total number of sub-services identified should not be greater than what is necessary to effectively conduct the review. 4
9 Lines of Service Review 2.4 LINES OF SERVICE Utilizing the PROS Community Values Model, the Consulting Team facilitated a workshop with the Recreation Management Team (RMT), in an effort to redefine the lines of service for the business unit.

13 Lines of Service Review 3.1 METHODOLOGY - CLASSIFICATION OF SERVICES PROS Consulting has developed a classification of services methodology that has proven useful in assessing municipal services. The methodology is further defined as follows: DEFINITION & CRITERIA FOR CORE/ESSENTIAL SERVICES Core Essential Services are those programs, services and facilities the City must provide and/or are essential in order to capably govern the municipality. The failure to provide a core service at an adequate level would result in a significant negative consequence relative to the City s health & safety and economic and community vitality. The criteria for a core-essential service are: The agency is mandated by law, or is contractually obligated by agreement to provide the service. The service is essential to protecting and supporting the public s health and safety. The service protects and maintains valuable City assets and infrastructure. The City s residents, businesses customers and partners would generally and reasonably expect and support the City in providing the service, and that service is one that cannot or should not be provided by the private sector, and provides a sound investment of public funds. Core Essential Services are those services that recreation offers that provide all users the same level of opportunity to access the service. The level of benefit is the same to all users. Examples of Core Essential Services are providing accommodations and support to persons with disabilities in order to participate in mainstream recreational activities and providing opportunities for the public to participate in low cost recreational swimming. Core Essential Services normally have low level or no user fees associated with their consumption. The cost for providing these services is borne by the general tax base. DEFINITION & CRITERIA FOR IMPORTANT SERVICES Important services are those programs, services and facilities the City should provide, and are important to governing the municipality and effectively serving its residents, businesses, customers and partners. Providing Important services expands or enhances our ability to provide and sustain our City s core services, health and safety, and economic and community vitality. The criteria for important services are: Service provides, expands, enhances or supports identified core services. Services are broadly supported and utilized by the community, and are considered an appropriate, important, and valuable public good. Public support may be conditional upon the manner by which the service is paid for or funded. 9
14 City of Calgary Recreation Business Unit Service generates income or revenue that offsets some or all of its operating cost and/or is deemed to provide an economic, social or environmental outcome or result within the community. Important Services are services whereby the user receives a higher level of benefit than the general taxpayer. The taxpayer benefits as a whole because the service provides a more livable community and the service has a good public benefit as well. Examples of Important Services are youth sports, summer camp programs for youth, life skill programs and special events that promote healthy active lifestyles. DEFINITION & CRITERIA FOR VALUE ADDED SERVICES Value Added Services are discretionary programs, services and facilities that the City may provide when additional funding or revenue exists to offset the cost of providing those services. These programs and services provide added value to the City s residents, businesses, customers and partners above and beyond what is required or expected of the City of Calgary. The criteria for value added services are: Service expands, enhances or supports Core or Important services, and the quality of life of the community. Services are supported and well utilized by the community, and provide an appropriate and valuable public benefit. Service generates income or funding from sponsorships, grants, user fees or other sources that offsets some or all of its cost and/or provides a meaningful economic, social or environmental benefit to the community. Value Added Services can be priced using either a partial overhead pricing strategy or a variable cost pricing strategy. Partial overhead pricing strategies recover all direct operating costs and some determined portion of fixed indirect costs. The portion of fixed indirect costs not recovered by the price established represents the tax subsidy. Whatever the level of tax subsidy, Calgary Recreation staff needs to inform the users by letting them know that the City of Calgary is investing a certain dollar amount and/or what percentage level of investment they are making in their experience. 10
15 Lines of Service Review Service Category Description Level of Benefit Cost- Recovery Expectations Core Services the agency must provide to meet its mission, and statutory and/or regulatory obligations; maintains valuable assets and infrastructure investments; essential to protect visitor safety; preserves the integrity of natural and cultural resources; reasonably expected and supported (or demanded) by citizens and visitors. Community Largely supported by taxes with little or no costrecovery Important Services the agency should provide or are important to effectively serve citizens and visitors; may expand or enhance provision of core services; broadly supported and utilized by visitors, although support may be conditional upon the perceived benefit, quality, and pricing of the services. Merit Supported by a balance of taxes & earned revenues Value Added Services the agency may provide when they are fiscally sustainable through citizen and visitor support; add value above and beyond what is required or expected of the agency s core functions; are easy opportunities to integrate alternative providers and operators into providing services at one or more sites. Individual Heavily or fully supported by earned revenues 11

18 City of Calgary Recreation Business Unit PERFORMANCE MEASURES Performance measures quantitatively inform organizations about how successful their products and services are in meeting their intended outcomes, as well as the processes that produce them. They are a critical tool that assists in the understanding, management, and improvement of organizations. Performance measures provide organizations with the information necessary to make intelligent decisions about work that is performed. Performance measures can tell us: How successful work is being performed If processes are in statistical control If goals are being met If and where improvements are necessary If customers are satisfied 4.1 COMPONENTS OF PERFORMANCE MEASURES Performance measures in recent years have become the backbone of successful organizations and moved beyond the simple collection of facts that measure volume of work. The key components of modern performance measurement are: Outcomes are the benefits or changes for participants in programs or recipients of services during or after the program or strategy is implemented. Inputs are the physical, financial and human resources allocated to or consumed to do work Activities are what the program or strategy does with the inputs provided. Activities include the tasks, steps, methods, techniques and operations performed Outputs are the elements of operation or level of effort, the products or services resulting from the implementation or accomplishment of work. Efficiency is measured by the unit cost required to perform the work in terms of dollars. How well did you use your budget to perform work? Effectiveness is a service quality measure of the work that you performed. Effectiveness is measured in % of work you set out to perform. 14
19 Lines of Service Review 4.2 DEVELOPMENT OF PERFORMANCE MEASURES FOR THE RECREATION BUSINESS UNIT Upon the completion of the development and classification of the Recreation Business Unit s Lines of Service, PROS Consulting conducted two workshops with the Recreation Management Team. The outcomes of the workshop were two-fold: 1. To teach the components of and the methodology utilized to develop performance measures. 2. To develop key performance measures for each line of service. The completion of the performance measures work for each line of service will be continued by the Recreation Business Unit. 15
20 City of Calgary Recreation Business Unit RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEXT STEPS Upon completion of the project, PROS conducted a gap analysis to determine what steps are necessary in order to assist the Recreation Business Unit in successfully managing forward. PROS Consulting has identified the following data/processes that are needed to be completed by the Recreation Business Unit during Classification of the Sub-sub services using the PROS Classification of Services methodology 2. Development/re-allocation of annual operating budget (Revenue/Expenditures) and FTEs by newly developed lines of service and sub-services. 3.
