• Most successful facilities offer pools that meet needs of different user groups at the same time
(Seniors, disabled, and preschool children prefer shallow, warm pools)
• There is a substantial market in swim classes for preschool and school-aged children
• Pools in school buildings tend to be more school-oriented and less community-oriented
• Recently built pools adopt a community center model, offering a variety of “wet and dry” activities appealing to a broad array of users

• Management of the more successful community centers were characterized by their
- devotion to programming
- community-oriented nature
- entrepreneurial spirit
• Complex programming opportunities have best been exploited by
- entrepreneurial persons
- incentivized as in the private sector
Background
![Page 25: An Introduction to the SCC Scarsdale Community Center “Building the Future Today”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de35503460f94ada766/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Form a non-profit community organization to manage the SCC
- Management would be pursuant to an agreement with and subject to limitations imposed by the Village.
- The model for the management is the Scarsdale Library
Recommendations

• Thomas Group concluded that the
facility cost estimate should be
increased 7.5% from $7.9 M to $8.5 M
• Village staff report: acceptable risk is
$360,000 per year
Validation
![Page 28: An Introduction to the SCC Scarsdale Community Center “Building the Future Today”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de35503460f94ada766/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Changes from the original projections – 14% increase in membership rates
– 7.5% increase in projected construction costs
– 25% discount in membership rate for seniors
• The result is – projections with lower risk
– projections reflect Village staff and consultant comments
Projection Modifications

• Reserve balance grows from $459,000 after year one to $1.6 million after fifth year of operation
• Result - a significant cushion protects against the need for taxpayer support
Reserve Cushion
![Page 32: An Introduction to the SCC Scarsdale Community Center “Building the Future Today”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de35503460f94ada766/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Assume:
– Only 75% of the projected membership is achieved
– Only 50% of the projected income from aquatic and other programs is realized
– No attempt is made to curtail expenses
• Average annual "at risk" position for this scenario = $170,000 thru year five
Sensitivity of Reserve Cushion to Projection Shortfall
![Page 33: An Introduction to the SCC Scarsdale Community Center “Building the Future Today”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de35503460f94ada766/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• The Subscription Program: the Committee seeks 1,200 members to commit to membership for three years and to prepay the third year.
• 1,200 members will result in committed income of $1.9 million with $640,000 cash collected.
Further Risk Mitigation
![Page 34: An Introduction to the SCC Scarsdale Community Center “Building the Future Today”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de35503460f94ada766/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
If this level of commitment can be achieved, we believe community support for the proposed SCC will be demonstrated and the risk of any taxpayer support ever being necessary will be negligible.
