BALLSTON PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE TEN-YEAR HISTORY

Fiscal Year FY 2008

Description

FTEs

 Non-personnel increases include higher utility costs ($125,444), additional funding for equipment repair and maintenance ($30,000), contract management of the garage ($177,692) and miscellaneous services ($15,624). Increases are partially offset by a decrease in the consultant budget ($112,336) and insurance claims.  Capital construction decreases ($678,883) due to the funding of large construction projects in the prior fiscal year. The FY 2008 budget includes funding to upgrade the elevator lobbies and, if necessary, to repair a portion of the brick facade  Debt service increases ($267,005) due to an increase in interest payments.  Revenue increases ($147,873) due to additional interest revenue because of higher interest rates ($85,525) and an increase in daily parking revenue ($62,348) because of projected increased daily parking volume as construction is nearing its end. The County is also currently conducting a market study to evaluate parking rates at the Garage.

FY 2009

 Capital construction decreases ($300,000) based on funding available for capital projects.

FY 2010

 Capital construction increases ($161,004) for waterproofing the garage and for work on the elevator lobbies.

FY 2011

 Capital construction increases ($460,000) to complete waterproofing, signage, and painting, as well as the first phase of repair or replacement of the brick façade.

FY 2012

 Non-personnel expenses increase $66,761 primarily due to increases in funding for general custodial supplies ($55,138), contractual services for garage operations ($46,047), and funding for equipment repair ($4,551). These increases are partially offset by a decrease in electricity ($30,681) and office supplies ($8,757).  Capital construction increases $950,000 to provide funding for garage improvements and to repair and/or replace the façade.  Debt service increases $740,650 for additional payments needed to pay off outstanding bonds in 2017.  Revenue projections increase by $1,632,895, based on usage projections and a potential parking fee rate increase that could produce $1,752,895, offset by a $120,000 decline in interest income. The parking rate increase was implemented on May 1, 2012 (see FY 2013 below.)

FY 2013

 Non-personnel expenses increase by $7,679 which reflects an increase in utilities ($33,411) and miscellaneous services and supplies ($15,344), offset by a decrease in the cost of garage operations that was partially offset by a potential increase in the County’s living wage (41,076).  The capital construction budget increases by $377,375 to provide funding for garage improvements. Debt service decreases by $203,220 to reflect lower amount of principal on which interest payments will be made.

Fiscal Year

Description

FTEs

 Revenue projections decrease by $203,220 to reflect a lower amount of principal on which interest payments will be made.  The County raised parking rates at the garage on May 1, 2012 in order to make capital improvements and to pay down principal on the outstanding bonds. The structure that went into effect keeps the $1 rate for the first three hours of parking and increases the graduated hourly rates over three hours anywhere from $0.50 to $1.00. The weekend rate was previously a $1 flat rate daily, and the same graduated weekday rates are now in effect on weekends. Monthly rates were also increased. FY 2014

 Non-personnel expenses decrease by $118,585 which reflects a decrease in the cost of garage operations ($94,360) due to contractual savings and savings for office supplies and postage ($28,091), partially offset by an increase in miscellaneous services ($3,866).  Debt service decreases by $36,920 reflecting lower debt service related fees.  Revenue increases by $56,492, due in part to the additional number of patrons parking on Levels 1-7 during construction on Level 8 of the garage and offset by a decrease in interest income ($23,000).

FY 2015

 Non-personnel expenses increase by $10,063 for non-discretionary contractual increases.  Overall revenue decreases by $474,962 due to completion of work on Level 8 and less revenue from hourly parking.

FY 2016

 Non-personnel expenses decrease by $11,917 for non-discretionary contractual decreases.  Capital construction expense decrease to reflect the capital projects to be implemented within the fiscal year ($347,042).  Overall revenue decreases by $452,686 due to loss of tenants during planned mall redevelopment.
