CITY OF ANOKA MEMORANDUM
PARKS &RECREATION
DATE: July 1, 1998
TO: Pat Klaers, City Administrator of Elk River
FROM: Mark Nagel, City Manager of Anoka
SUBJECT: New Anoka Aquatic Center
We have come along way since 1994, when this project began.
Enclosed are the projections and analysis of how we developed our fee structures,not
•
including our lesson fees.
As you will see, in 1995 we dealt with hypothetical situations which developed more than
three years to become what we adopted as our fee structure. Our concern was keeping our
balance scale slightly lower for season passes against the daily admission fees, which I believe
we have achieved.
In 1997 we used the City of Edina's percentages to develop estimates. By 1998 we were
interested in the "42" rule" tried and used in 1997 by the City of Richfield. Our Committee and
Park Board felt confident that this is the way to proceed. We further enhanced the fee structures
beginning in 1997 to resident and non-resident rates, and an after 5:00 p.m. daily fee reduction
for all patrons.
Our photo pass I.D. system, though very time consuming the first year, has worked out
very well to eliminate the cheaters. It is a costly venture,but the public really likes it a lot.

SWIMMING POOL FEE ANALYSIS
Prepared by Robert Muscovitze*--
The following information is designed to assist the Pool Finance
Committee in developing a fee schedule for a new zero depth pool with a
water slide. All figures are based on estimates and fees from existing
outdoor swimming pools throughout our region.
I. DAILY ADMISSION
This is a breakdown of fees and attendance estimates, both low
and high. Please consider that within each fee is the 6.5% tax we
must submit to the State. This means that actual profit is less
than what is stated.
•
A. Choice of Fees
$3.50 $4 .00 $4.50 $5.00 1/2 price after 6:p.m.
.23 .26 .29 .33
$3.27 $3.74 $4.21 $4.67 - Actual minus taxes
B. Daily Attendance
• ---ANNUAL AVERAGE ATTENDANCE---
Daily Admission 9, 120
Loss of attendance from wading pool 9,000
Coupon attendance 7,400
Annual Total 25,520
* x .33 = 33,940
*Average % of increase in attendance after renovation or
rebuilding.
Conclusion: The daily annual attendance range for a zero
depth pool is between:
25,520 - Low 33,940 - Mid 47,500 - High
C. Chart of total dollars per fee class
Fee Low $ Medium $ High $
$3.50 89,320 118,790 166,250
$4 .00 102,080 135,760 190,000
$4.50 114,840 152,730 213,750
• $5. 00 127,600 169,700 237,500
Swimming Pool Fee Analysis
Page 2
•
D. Conclusion
It is very conceivable to achieve over 2,800 per week for a
pool capable of holding 1, 100 bathers.
By not using or allowing District #11 coupons we actually
gain in dollars received though City coupon books might be a
worthy venture for the City.
E. Average Dollars Taken in Per Year
Daily Admissions $14, 865
Coupons 7,536
Wading Pool - 0 -
TOTAL $22,401
II. DAILY ADMISSION -
- Alternative -
One of the metro pools is in the process of developing and
using a 42 inch format whereby under 42 inches is one fee and over
is another. If we were to try something similar, the format might
look like this:
A. Fees
over 42" 4.00/2.00 under 42" over 42" 5.00/2 .50 under 42"
• B. Attendance
Using the existing annual overages and dividing the total
by percentages of height, we can assume the following:
25,520 x .66% (2/3 of total under 42"
= 8,677 over and 16,843 under
33,940 x .66%
= 11,540 over and 22,400 under
47,500 x .66%
= 16, 150 over and 31,350 under
C. Chart of total dollars per fee class:
LOW MID HIGH
OVER 42" - $4 .00 34,708 46, 160 64,600
UNDER 42" - $2.00 33,686 44 ,800 62 ,700
TOTAL 68,394 90,960 127,300
OVER 42" - $5.00 43,385 57,700 80,750
• UNDER 42" - $2.50 42, 108 56,000 78,375
TOTAL 85,493 113,700 159,125

D. Conclusion
Since this is based on estimates, there is no real way to
truly access this type of format since we have nothing precise
to draw from.
All numbers are close by somewhat hypothetical.
III. SEASON PASSES
Rather than re-inventing the wheel, I have chosen the City of
Edina as the best of the best formats for Anoka to follow. Their
season pass structure is excellent and included employed persons in
their City which I believe to be very beneficial.
Edina has 2,300 season passes and grosses between $135,000 to
$140,000. Of great benefit to the whole city is our opening the
doors to employees of businesses residing within our city including
county employees at the Courthouse, State Hospital employees and
even MNDOT if we so choose.
Here is the breakdown of jobs within Anoka according to
Community Development:
14,000 total persons employed in Anoka
- 4,000 persons employed and residing here
10,000
+ 17,500 population of City
• 27,500 Total City Draw
Our student population is 12,000 - 14,000 per year as far as
the target for sales which in turn will give us an immediate 40,000
opportunities for marketing our project.

A. The average number of season passes sold is 328 per year,
which averages to be about $14,728 per year in revenue at
present. We will know a lot more (in 1995) due to the fact
that the City now has a non-resident rate for the first time
ever. However, our records indicate that season pass sales
divided by the cities as follows:
Anoka 52%
Coon Rapids 22%
Andover 13%
Ramsey 9%
Champlin 4%

I. Season Passes
• A new center will attract a lot of interest immediately. Using percentages from the City of
Edina's very successful program and applying them to our goal of 1.500 season passes in the first
year of operations the dollars could look as follows:
RESIDENT NON-RESIDENT
Edina's °'o Est. Fee $ Edina's % Est. Fee $
Individual pass 3% 30 $40 S1,200 1% 5 S60 S300
Family p ass

4 people 1% 10 $105 S1,050 1% 5 $125 S625
1,000 $66,350 500 543,750
Resident and Non-Resident Total S110,100.00
Taxes S7,157.00
Grand Total S 102,943.00
II. Daily Admissions
We currently average about 14.000 daily admissions patrons using cash and coupons. Using this figure
times $4.00=$56,000 - $3,640 tax equals $52.360.
Edina's present gross not including taxes for daily admissions is $93,000 divided by $5.00 per patron is
18,600 patrons.
THE ESTIMATED TOTAL REVENUE FOR DAILY ADMISSIONS IS $52.360.00.
III. Lessons
Historically we average over S40,000 in revenue for swimming lessons. By 1998 we could reasonably
estimate $41.500 in revenue.
IV. Concessions
It's anyone's guess what this could produce in revenue because this is dependent on too many factors
such as contractual versus City operated.
• Our guess is $10.000 revenue
Totals
Season passes $102,943.00
Daily Admissions $52,360.00
Lessons $41,500.00
Concessions $10,000.00
Revenue Estimate $206,803.00
Expenditures (base est.) $145,000.00
To Enterprise Fund $61,803.00
• Coon Rapids Proposal
Hypothetically speaking,since season passes are the only place where non-resident exists (not including
lessons)we can estimate and assume the following:
1. Develop a dollar figure over 10 years using an estimate of$15,000 to $20,000 for Coon Rapids
which is a small price to pay for a summer season program for their residents.
This could generate - $150,000 to $200,000 - over the ten year period.
We have had better cooperation from Coon Rapids, though we must exercise some reluctance
based on what we have learned from the Champlin situation.
2. Propose Coon Rapids purchase the water slide which costs between$110,000 and $120,000.
Decide on a time frame because as we all know slides must be replaced over time.
• What's New
Anoka County Wave Pool has introduced a punch card system. This is a great idea for eliminating
coupon books.
Present Fees:
daily $4.00 3 years to 12 years
daily $5.00 13 years to adult
punch card:
$20.00 for 6 sessions 3 years to 12 years
S25.00 for 6 sessions 13 years to adult
• Need to set a date for the Pool Finance Committee to meet.

• POOL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
Thursday,January 29, 1998-5:00 p.m.
Members present: Chair Bryan Lindberg,Gary Gruber,Mary Blankenship,Thomas Fischer,Nancy Coleman,Kay
Froemming, Gerald Cotten,Joe Perrin III,and Garry Moreau.
Members absent: Joe Anderla;Paul Bach;John Klick;Mayor Peter Beberg;and Councilmembers John Weaver,
Brian Wesp,John Mann,and Mark Freeburg.
Staff present: Butch Brandenburg,Superintendent of Parks,Recreation and Maintenance;Robert Muscovitz,Park
Maintenance Manager;Jim Knutson,Finance Director; and Kevin Likness,Building and Maintenance
Superintendent.
Staff absent: Mark Nagel, City Manager.
Chair Lindberg called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. The order of items discussed is as follows:
1. The name of our facility shall be the Anoka Aquatic Center. All concurred. Fischer commented that it is
not the policy of the Park Board to attach names of individuals to parks and facilities of the city.
2. Date of Operation.
Lindberg reviewed the proposed dates of operation. Discussion included concern about opening Memorial
• Day weekend,which depends on many factors, such as staffing and equipment. It was felt this could be a
good dry run while allowing the pool to open daily after 4:00 to build excitement and enticement of the
new facility in the community. Most pools open when school is not in session on about June 5. Closing at
the end of the season was discussed. Perrin told the committee it is normally the pool supervisor or head
guard that assists in making the call. However.with a new facility it could be anyone's guess for the first
few years.
3. Daily fees.
Lindberg directed the committee's attention to the pool fee comparison/recommendation chart Muscovitz
developed. The committee liked the 42-inch separation far better than an age of five for the$3.50 rate. No
one felt that$5.00 was asking too much for all the customer was getting at the new facility. All agreed that
5:00 p.m. was a fair time break for a lower fee;because at all pools this is when most people head home,
and the pool is less busy.
Blankenship stated that the fee structure looks real good, especially the part giving breaks to grandparents
who want to bring their grandchildren yet will not themselves swim.
A comment came up about the under-12-months(1 year old) child being charged a$1.00 fee. Perrin stated
normally these are the children being carried in by their parents. Brandenburg informed the committee that
although they are below the age of one,the guard will still have to watch them closely; and the city is
responsible for their safety. The committee concurred.
4. Season Passes.
• Lindberg drew the committee's attention to the table presented as a season pass fee structure,noting that it
is a base plus an additional fee per pass requested. In our case, the committee recommended we use the
Pool Committee Meeting Minutes
Thursday,January 29, 1998
Page 2
•
$45 for resident plus$20 per additional swimmers and$55 for non-resident plus$25 per additional
swimmer fee structure. The senior pass(+55 years of age)proposal was$25.00 for resident and$35.00 for
a non-resident. The committee agreed these senior pass fees were very reasonable. A twilight season pass
(after 5:00 p.m.)of$30.00 for residents and$40 for non-residents was designed for those who could only
attend evenings after 5:00 p.m. when there is,historically, less activity at the facility. It was felt that no
scale needed to be attached to this since this already is a good deal. The committee agreed.
5. Early Bird Discount.
Lindberg was asked about the early bird discount. He explained it was for resident passes only, if
purchased by May 1 by mail or in person. They would receive a ten per cent discount off the total. It is
hoped that this will give the city adequate time to prepare the passes for each member on an identification
card,plastic preferably.
It was asked if there is a way to track these passes using a bar code card and a computer tracking system.
Moreau told the committee it could be done using scanners on bar codes. Knutson asked how important it
is to track usage, and Lindberg responded that Andover and other cities should know about their residents'
use.
6. Fee Assistance.
It was agreed that Anoka use the Richfield format for fee assistance for our low income residents. Though
it is not in the budget,it is essential to the city to not eliminate children for participation due to economic
hardship with the families.
•
7. Concessions.
Brandenburg informed the committee that C&H Distributing was the highest and only bidder of the
eleven requests for proposals we sent out. The references all look good. The city will be receiving
approximately$6.000 per year for this service. It is realized that the concessionaire will have to provide
about$25,000 in equipment, and the city will supply them a three compartment hand sink.
Blankenship asked how a complaint would be handled. Brandenburg explained the complaints will be
handled by the Park Department,and we will discuss this with the contractor when they come in.
8. Leaving the Facility and Re-entering.
Much like other pools in the metropolitan area, we will allow customers to leave the facility by stamping
their hand. Muscovitz stated this is no guarantee they may return, depending on the capacity numbers of
the facility.
9. Swimming Instruction.
Because we have not heard from Anoka-Hennepin Community Education in response to our request,we
have no answer. However, we are aware of the implications if the school district bows out.
10. Logo and Merchandise.
Lindberg reported he will be presenting to the Park Board the logo ideas he will be receiving from a
company in Texas. He then asked where we can merchandise these items we create. Perrin stated a good
spot would be at the front reception areas where items could be displayed on the wall. He also suggested it

would be wise to have goggles,binders,nose pieces and plastic pants available to purchase,along with the
clothing and other items. An additional location for merchandise could be City Hall,the Parks
Department, and maybe the Chamber of Commerce offices and city liquor stores.
The committee agreed the whole package presented meets the goals and objectives for the city and recommended
this package be forwarded to the Anoka Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for its consideration and further
recommendation to the Mayor and City Council.
There being no further discussion,the meeting was adjourned at 6:05 p.m.

REPORT:
en February 11, 1998 Kevin Likness and I visited the St. Louis Park Rec. Center/Pool facilities.Craig Panning
(Building Maintenance Supervisor for Recreation Facilities)was our host. He informed us that he has a staff of six
for rec.buildings only while City Hall Police and the Fire Stations are maintained through the Public Works
Building Maintenance Supervisor with his staff funded by the Public Works Department.
•
The following are notes worthy of pursuing:
1. Expand the fence line of our Aquatic Center into George Green to incorporate the mature Oaks for shade.
St. Louis Park has an area similar that Craig informed us is normally packed by people daily.They
average2,300 per day and this is a great area for folks to get out of the sun.
2. St. Louis Park originally purchased 150 lounge chairs and found that it wasn't enough to handle the huge
crowds. Also, due to complaints by many of the elderly, they had to purchase 50 regular chairs because
seniors said they had problems getting off the loungers and preferred to just sit. They purchased an
additional 50 more loungers as well.
3. We were informed that the sand play area does bring a lot of sand into the pool which contributes to the
vacuuming dilemma. Although this isn't the primary contributor to the problem, it may add more
maintenance to what 2,300 people leave in the pool daily. St. Louis Park said that they average two to four
hours of vacuuming per average day-as much as eight hours for major vacuuming-two to three times per
week...(three people). We shouldn't have a major problem if our sand play area is far enough away,where
their's is very close to the pool,but it is worth thinking about.
4. Craig showed us rust problems on a large Whale kiddie slide and some of the painted S.C.S.piping they are
dealing with. He contends that the contractor marred or scraped the surface paint causing this problem and
• we should watch this closely.
We toured the concession stand which is slightly bigger than ours, though it does have another separate
room for supplies. St. Louis Park put out approximately$20,000 for equipment and make $70,000 over the
10 to 12 week operation of the pool. It more than pays for itself.
6. Craig showed us the admitting area which is in the rec. center. Season passes merely walk past the set up
zone and a monitor checks their passes,while the paid people wait in line. This entices those paying daily to
get season passes.
7. I asked what they do in the event of fecal matter in the pool. Craig told us that the pool is divided into three
zones for this emergency. Instead of closing the whole pool for two hours or all day, they close one of the
zones and can super chlorinate the area of the incident and wait for one or two total cycles of water which is
approximately two hours before opening that zone up. This eliminates the "ugly" associated with totally
closing the pool. Cycles are based on depth of water.
We discussed "Kryptosporum" which the MN Zoo brought to everyone's attention last year. If this ever
happens I shall inform you that it requires complete drainage of the pool and sterilization of everything
including the filters.
Also, we should seriously consider the $13,000 photo I.D. system Edina has. It is fantastic true,but it's uses to
monitor season passes and eliminate the cheaters is fantastic. Additional uses could include Personnel I.D. cards,
Golf season passes, etc. This is much like your MN Drivers License, but the card is printed on the spot. Edina tracks
11,000 swimmers.
