VARIANCE DESCRIPTION

The total departmental year-end variance is projected to be approximately: ($2,200,000) (Deficit)

The Recreation & Culture Department is projecting a year-end variance totalling approximately $2.2M. This is as a result of $7.4M in foregone programming and user fee revenue. These negative financial impacts are being partially offset by $5.2M in avoided costs resulting from reduced part-time salary & wages, program supplies and other programming related costs.

Assumptions used to develop this forecast Assumptions include:

• Limited fall programming and all recreation facilities remaining closed with exception of the WFCU Centre, Capri Pizzeria Recreation Complex and the Windsor International Aquatic Training Centre (it is acknowledged that this issue continues to be closely monitored and may change for some services based on the circumstances)

• Operation of 5 ice pads being 3 at WFCU Centre and 2 at Capri Pizzeria Recreation Complex.

• Lane swims and Aquafit programs provided at the Windsor International Aquatic Training Centre and WFCU Centre.

Please note that the Recreation and Culture Department shares full-time Local 82 staffing with the Parks Department however, these budgets are fixed. Where one Department has a surplus in this account, the other Department will have a deficit to offset.

MITIGATING STEPS

• Applied for grants (i.e. Museum grant, after school program grant used for day camps as well)

• Continue to reduce costs where possible

• Operate efficiently by minimizing the number of venues that are open
