The Finance Committee agenda includes a review of the financial reports for the month of April, a discussion regarding CSO fee rates, and an oral discussion period.

The board discussed a special event application submitted by 3v3 Impact for a Gus Macker three-on-three basketball tournament to be held at Bob Kildee Community Park. The meeting included a public hearing regarding the status update of vacant positions and compliance with Assembly Bill 2561, concluding with the board receiving and filing the report. Additionally, the board reviewed logistics for the proposed tournament, including event parking, facility usage, and district staffing requirements.

This document outlines the review and provides direction for the updated 2027-2032 Five-Year Strategic Plan for Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District. The plan aims to define clear priorities, address emerging community needs, and ensure continued alignment between resources, operations, and long-range goals. It focuses on five key strategic areas: Fiscal Stability (to build financial resilience), Community Needs (to meet identified priorities and gaps), Infrastructure Improvements (to increase facility capacity and functionality), Connectivity (to strengthen access and partnerships), and Systematic Plans (to maintain safe and compliant parks and facilities).

The board discussed several items including the adoption of Resolution No. 801 to levy assessments for FY 2026-2027 and a request for proposals for top-dressing material for Pleasant Valley Fields Park. The agenda included a public hearing on compliance with Assembly Bill 2561 regarding vacant public employee positions. New items for discussion included the approval of a special event for a Gus Macker basketball tournament, preliminary design options for the Freedom Center Redesign Project, goals for the 2027-2032 Strategic Plan, and the first reading of an ordinance to adjust board member compensation.

The meeting includes reviews of the March 2026 financial statements and the District Reserves Policy, with staff proposing to allow interest earned to exceed maximum balances and to potentially combine the Dry Period and Repair/Operations & Administrative Operations reserves into a single Operating Reserve Fund. Additionally, the agenda covers discussions regarding potential updates to the fee schedule and an additional payment to CalPERS.
