FY 2018-19 and 2019-20 Adopted Operating and CIP Budget

Community Services

Introduction to Department The Community Services Department consists of three divisions responsible for public service delivery. The department’s Recreation and Community Services Division operates the Centennial Recreation Center, Aquatics Center, Outdoor Sports Center, Community & Cultural Center, Amphitheater, Community Playhouse, Friendly Inn Non-Profit Service Center, Skate Board/BMX Park, a wide variety of recreation programs, and social services. The Maintenance Division maintains City streets, sidewalks, trails, 3,700 street lights, 470 open space/park acres, urban forestry, all City buildings, and a landscaping assessment district. The Environmental Services Division manages the Environmental Agenda, water conservation, stormwater pollution prevention, solid waste management and recycling, and telecommunications regulation. The three divisions were consolidated in to one department in FY 2011-12 as a part of the organization’s effort to streamline service delivery to ensure the Morgan Hill Community continues to receive the highest level of service possible. Recreation and Community Services Team Over the past 12 years, the Recreation and Community Services Team has achieved significant success by managing the division with flexibility, creativity, and a focus on cost recovery. As a result, recreation services have been provided to the Morgan Hill Community at near 100% direct cost recovery. In recent years, under direction of the City Council, the division began placing a greater emphasis on maintenance of facilities, and non-fee based services (Senior Center and afterschool program). The division also supported both the Library, Culture and Arts Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission returning to “full-time” Commissions with monthly meetings. This focus accounts in part for the slightly lower percentage of direct cost recovery. Additionally, beginning in FY 2018-19 the Division will be fully funding facility future replacement costs. This change significantly reduces the cost recovery in the near term but provides for more appropriate goals in the long-term.
