Budget Primer: Parks and Recreation Department-Part 1

---
The Oro Valley Parks, Recreation, Library, and Culture Resources ("PRLCR") Department 2012-2013 budget is $2.76 million.

Approximately, $ 2.10 million of this is sourced from the Town's General Fund. About $.66 million comes from other sources ($583,413 from the PIMA County Library District and $75,000 from State Grants for Archery Development at Naranja Park). This comprises about 8% of the general fund.

The PRLCR department employs 25 full-time and 27 part-time employees running its day to day operations. The town calculates this to be equivalent to about 46.68 full-time equivalents.  (Note: The Town of Oro Valley has 300 full-time and 68 part-time employees running its day to day operations. The town calculates this to be equivalent to about 343.79 full-time equivalents.)

The PRLCR department full time personnel (25) is 8% of the total town’s full time 300 personnel.  The PRLCR department full-time equivalent (46.68) is 13.56% of the town’s fulltime equivalent (343.79).
