Angleton Better Living Corporation staff presented updated year-to-date financial statements and fund balances for the Recreation Division, the Angleton Recreation Center and ABLC’s accounts, noting modest year-over-year sales-tax growth and several timing factors that affect visible balances.

Sales-tax trend: staff reported that sales-tax receipts remain positive year over year but with smaller month-to-month gains; Susie said the most recent month showed only a 0.59% increase year over year, and that the three-year trailing growth has slowed from earlier years. "We still are in the positive there," Susie said, noting that the organization is monitoring trends to inform next year’s budget.

Rec center fund balance: staff explained the recreation center’s current fund balance looks high in the packet because $274,000 is dedicated to a grant and transfers have not yet occurred. "Summer is our most expensive time frame for the rec center," Susie said, explaining expenses and revenues typically peak in June–August and staff have not yet captured the full summer numbers.

Day pass and membership trends: staff reported that after increasing the day-pass price from $5 to $10, revenue for day passes has remained roughly consistent because fewer day passes were sold but at the higher price. Staff also reported an uptick in family memberships and that some patrons are converting from day passes to memberships. A board member asked for a three‑year trend of day-pass counts and membership conversions; staff agreed to provide year-over-year counts and a three‑year comparison.

Action requested: none. Staff asked only to provide the update; no formal board action was requested or taken on the financial statements.
