Keller Point reports FY25 growth, event attendance and awards; manager cites cost‑recovery model
Summary
Keller Point staff reviewed FY25 operations and 2025 events—highlighting membership growth, award wins, and major event attendance (Keller Lights ~25,000)—and said the facility operates on a 100% cost‑recovery model and ended FY25 slightly in the black.
The Keller Point manager presented a year-in-review covering FY25 membership, programming and special events. The manager emphasized that Keller Point operates under a 100% cost‑recovery model—user fees and program revenue are intended to cover salaries, supplies and overhead—and reported the facility ended the fiscal year about $18,000 in the black.
Staff summarized event results and budgets for 2025: Keller Lights attracted about 25,000 attendees; Keller summer nights drew roughly 2,500 people per week during June; holidays attracted about 10,000 attendees. Staff also noted awards: a staffer received a Texas Rising Star youth professional award and the department won event awards (gold for a promotional video and silver for a tree giveaway). The manager described partnerships (e.g., Lakeside Aquatics Club for swim lessons; H‑E‑B and local businesses as sponsors) and outlined staffing and volunteer contributions (more than 1,000 volunteers in 2025 supporting events).
Board members asked about capital and operating needs; the manager said the department recently purchased roughly $50,000 of new gym equipment and would like to continue replacing cardio equipment, while noting large prior investments such as a pool HVAC unit in 2019 that cost over $1 million. The manager said staff will run a member survey in February and expand outreach to former members to inform programming decisions.
