亚洲天堂 Lake council is not releasing the full report of the recreation department鈥檚 organizational review, which was completed last June.

The review, which cost the village $12,000, is intended to reduce some of the costs associated with the local recreation facilities.

Although council included a summary of the report in last week鈥檚 council meeting agenda, the full report is yet to be released.

亚洲天堂 Lake Mayor Chris Beach did not respond if or when the full report will be released. Two weeks ago, acting mayor John Illes also did not respond to any questions about the review.

鈥淚 am concerned as to why the report hasn鈥檛 been released,鈥� said Tania Cunningham, a group fitness instructor at the Lakeside Multiplex, last month. 鈥淲e all have been anxiously waiting to read the report because we provided a lot of great ideas and positive feedback.鈥�

Conducted by Acumen HR Solutions, the review includes interviews with Lakeside Multiplex staff, users and elected officials.

According to the report鈥檚 summary, the provision of recreation services in 亚洲天堂 Lake 鈥渃annot be sustained under the current financial model.鈥� It also says that given the community feedback, closure or reduction of service are 鈥渘ot realistic options.鈥�

鈥淥verwhelming feedback from across the community has shown support for the facility and overwhelmingly the message was clear: recreation is considered important to the health and well-being of the community as a whole and is vital in attracting people to the area,鈥� states the report鈥檚 summary. 鈥淗owever, while it is supported, the majority noted that effective provision of services and fiscal accountability is essential.鈥�

The reports suggests areas for improvement through a number of recommendations, which include introducing fees for the campground, leasing portions of the facility to a private company, the 鈥渁ggressive pursuit鈥� of grant opportunities and 鈥渁dequate budgeting to include realistic staffing provisions.鈥�

The report adds that an increase in fees would not be sufficient and it would have a negative effect on users, many of whom believe the cost is already a potential barrier to participation.

The organizational review was suggested by councillor Kelly Holliday earlier this year.

鈥淏efore we dive into our recreation master plan, we should look at possibilities of reducing some of the expenses at the [Lakeside] Multiplex,鈥� Holliday said earlier this year. 鈥淭here may be some over service there.鈥�

Councillor Michael Riis-Christianson also urged council to reduce the department鈥檚 budget earlier this year.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 believe that we can do business as usual this year,鈥� said Riis-Christianson earlier this year. 鈥淪ome areas of recreation are just not sustainable.鈥�

The village鈥檚 recreation department has been dealing with a significant increase in its budget since the Lakeside Multiplex opened in 2014.

Council was expected to release the full report after a closed meeting on July 26. Since then, Lakes District 亚洲天堂 has asked for the report repeatedly. Lakes District 亚洲天堂 has now filed a Freedom of Information Act request to access the full report.
