Job Code: 2024-02
Prepared by: Michael Alferez, Fiscal Manager
For: District Advisory Commission
Subject: FY22-23 Independent Auditor’s Report and Financial Results
Recommendation: Receive and File
Background: The Riverside County Regional Park and Open Space District (District) is required
to conduct an independent audit at Fiscal Year End. The Auditing firm of Eadie & Payne, LLP,
completed their audit in November 2023. The final report did not include any findings and will be
submitted to the Board of Directors on January 9, 2024. The management letter is included for
reference and the completed audit is available for review by the Commission and general public.
Highlights of the audit report and FY22-23 Financial Results are as follows:
REVENUE
Overall revenue for the District, not including
Operating Transfers, ended $24.9M which is
22.7% more compared to prior year. The
increase was due to higher property tax
revenues ($1.38M), and state grant
revenues ($1.9M)
Core Programs (Regional Parks,
Interpretive, Natural Resources, Business
Services) earned combined 89% of
projected revenue and $3M more than prior
year.
Regional Parks earned 96% of projected
revenue and $420K less than prior year.
Interpretive program collected 99% of their
projected revenues which is $88k more than
prior year. The American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) waiver fee program tremendously
helped in bringing students and families to
our interpretive sites. Planning/CIP only received 65% (or $5.6M) of expected revenue and $1.7M
more than prior year. One-time revenue of $997k was from the sale of the Haun Road parcels to
Pechanga.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 10.4
Date: January 4, 2024
Job Code: 2024-03
Prepared by: Gaby Adame, Bureau Chief
For: District Advisory Commission
Subject: 2023 Comprehensive Parks, Resources and Recreation Service Plan
Recommendation: Approve the 2023 Comprehensive Parks, Resources and Recreation
Service Plan
Background:
The District began work on its Comprehensive Parks, Resources and Recreation Service Plan
in 2011. The intent of the Comprehensive Park, Resources, and Recreation Service Plan
(Comprehensive Plan) is to build upon the previous District Strategic Plan, and to provide
implementation tools to fulfill the strategic goals and objectives. Anchoring this plan is the
RivCoParks vision and mission.
The Plan is intended to:
1) Examine current recreation Demographics and Trends.
2) Provide a Physical Resources Plan which captures all District owned and
operated physical assets by category.
3) Provide a Recreation Program Services Plan which builds upon the work that
resulted in the District’s recent Strategic Plan. The methodology, demographics,
trends, and assessment were reviewed in order to ensure consistency between
plans. This plan reviews recreation programming and needs based upon the
District vision and mission, recreation trends, facility inventory, and service
provider offerings within the County. The recommendations made are
interconnected with the District Physical Resources Plan.
4) Provide a Preliminary Level of Service Assessment for the District to assist the
District in developing service provision strategies and tactics, a preliminary level
of service assessment of the District assets was conducted.
5) Examine and inventory the District’s Cultural and Historical Resources Plan. This
plan is intended to be used by District facility operators, planners, and decision-
makers to assess potential opportunities and constraints for facility improvements
and changes in uses.
GreenPlay was selected through a competitive request for proposals and finalized the initial Plan
in 2013. An amendment to the Plan was completed and approved in 2018. In an effort to
maintain the Riverside County Regional Parks and Open-Space District’s Plan Update Schedule
District staff has reviewed and updated the 2013 Comprehensive Parks, Resources and
Recreation Service Plan to reflect the 2023 data.
District staff has created a Summary of Changes for the District Advisory Commission’s review,
which can be found attached. At this time, staff are seeking approval of the Comprehensive
Parks, Resources and Recreation Service Plan Update from commission members. An
electronic version of the document is available on the District’s website.
Requested Action: Approve the 2023 Comprehensive Parks, Resources and Recreation
Service Plan

Agenda Item No. 10.5
Date: January 4, 2024
Job Code: 2024-04
Prepared by: Kyla Brown, General Manager
For: District Advisory Commission
Subject: Strategic Plan Update
Recommendation: Approve the update to the District's Strategic Plan
Background:
The District completed and adopted a strategic plan in July 2011. The intent of the plan was to
create a comprehensive document that would assist the District in addressing internal
operations and management of the District over the course of five years. Each year, District
staff reviews the plan, prepares tactics to address the goals and objectives, and prepares the
fiscal year budget based upon the priorities developed for the annual work plan.
The new 3-year plan was developed and approved by the District Advisory Commission on
March 9, 2017 (Job Code 2017--6).
The District has gone through a number of significant changes since the 2017 update and, as
such, has reviewed our mission, vision and values, strategic priorities, and balanced scorecard
metrics to ensure we have a current plan which specifically addresses industry best
management practices as provided in the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation
Agencies (CAPRA), standard 2.5 (2019, 6th edition).
Staff recommends approval of the Strategic Plan Update (2023).

Job Code: 2024-05
Prepared by: Robert Williams, Chief - Business Operations
For: District Advisory Commission
Subject: Request for Fish & Game Funds - District Fishing Derbies
Recommendation: Approve requested use of Fish & Game Trust funds.
Background:
District staff has been working regional partners to plan fishing derbies at Lake Cahuilla
Veteran's Regional Park and Rancho Jurupa Regional Park. Our intent is to foster an important
connection for people with the outdoors through sport fishing and invest in Riverside County
resident and visitor enjoyment of fish and wildlife resources. These events will also increase
community awareness of Park District sites and amenities. We anticipate approximately 300-
500 anglers will attend each event. As part of the derby experience, the District aims to provide
fishing poles to those that need them and offer fishing poles, tackle boxes, mini bait boxes, etc.,
as prizes for event attendees.
The District is requesting $1,000 to be utilized to purchase fishing poles and related items as
prize giveaways for the derbies planned in 2024:
[Rancho Jurupa Regional Park - January 20, 2024
Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park - February 17, 2024
Lake Skinner Recreation Area - March 9, 2024]
This request supports a larger partnership and is consistent with previous requests for funding
of outdoor education and recreation efforts.
Financial Considerations: $1,000 from the Fish and Game Trust
