Clarence Grier said this is on page 84, but the debt service for the building purchase would have to be added. Commissioner Gordon said this should be included as part of the reason for moving forward with this. She questioned whether this $302,000 would be paid for by the revenue streams. Clarence Grier said it should. He said the current revenue streams have been paying for it every year. Commissioner Gordon said this should be shown to give the big picture. John Stockton said the Sportsplex has generated $487,000 in net income as of the end of March. He said this will be the first year that the Sportsplex will go above $500,000 in contributions to the fund balance. He said they are $200,000 ahead of budget year to date. He said there are close to 5,000 members and 85 percent of these are residents and County employees. He said the fitness mezzanine in the pool area is going to handle the fact that there are a lot of lines in peak hours. He said the addition of turf and court is to handle the focus on obesity issues in two key populations — children and people over the age of 60. He said their programs are designed to tackle this obesity problem, and this is a core mission of the Sportsplex. Chair Jacobs said the Board appreciates the good job he and his staff were doing John Stockton said this facility is really multi-generational and the addition of these new areas will make it one of the more spectacular facilities in the southeast. Michael Talbert said John Stockton has done a great job over the past 4 years in making the Sportsplex more profitable, and adding more members and services. He addressed Commissioner Gordon's questions and said historically the debt service was paid from the general fund and there is still a small transfer to cover it, but this is being evaluated again as the Sportsplex becomes more profitable. Commissioner Gordon asked how much is currently being transferred. Clarence Grier said this amount was about $500,000 this past year. Chair Jacobs said the County should do a press release when the Sportsplex membership reaches 5,000. Commissioner Gordon asked if the general funds transfer will be $500,000 this year as well. Clarence Grier said if things keep going the way they are, there will likely not be a need to transfer more than $100,000-$200,000. Commissioner Gordon said it would still be good to include this.
