Staff reports 9.5% rise in vehicle visits; operating fund described as stable
Summary
Staff told the board visitation rose about 9.5% from 2024 to 2025 (roughly 19,000 more vehicle visits, about 228,000 vehicles) and reviewed operating fund balances and reserve positions; staff also outlined anticipated grant receipts.
A parks staff member provided a year-end report showing a reported 9.5% increase in vehicle visits from 2024 to 2025 — about 19,000 more vehicles for a total just shy of 229,000 vehicle visits. The presenter said that figure excludes some park counts and that, when accounting for occupancy per vehicle, the total number of people passing through the park system would be higher.
On finances, staff described the 2025 operating fund with a current cash balance described as roughly $368,000 and noted appropriations in the $239,000–$241,000 range. Staff said payroll and other expenditures had been higher but that the fund retained an increased reserve (about $128,000 in reserve after appropriations), and that the department expects to remain near its original appropriation this year.
