We have presented below our technical proposal in three parts. Part 1 - Objectives of Plan, Part II — Summary Description and Part III - Specific Scope of Work., The ORB Organization Park and Recreation System Plan presented in this proposal provides an alternative. to the normal cut and paste plans prepared from National or Statewide Park and Recreation Standards. There is a difference. The ORB plan provides: o Recreation demand estimates based on the local community needs rather than state or local standards. o Realistic guidelines for acquisition and development based on nearly 10 years experience in the recreational planning field. o Practical planning alternatives developed by planners well experienced in area and facility design and construction. o Priority of development based on stated community preference. o Capital improvement plans consistent with the financial resources of the community. o Specific area and facility recommendations to guide schematic design of project. OBJECTIVES OF The major objectives of the proposed Comprehensive. THE PLAN Park and Recreation Plan are: o To qualify your community for State and Federal Grant -In -Aid Programs. o To determine the existing recreational partici- pation levels in your community in relationship to the latent.recreational demand. PART I - SUMMARY DESCRIPTION 9 r o To develop specific goals, objectives and policies which represent the public's leisure aspirations. o To collect, compile and analyze social -economic, climatic and physical resource data of signifi- cance to park and recreational planning considerations. o To determine the community's need for additional programs, areas and facilities. o To make specific recommendations for acquisition or development of areas or facilities if a need is identified. o To provide a prioritized plan of action which will expedite action on construction when labor, materials and funds become available. o To avoid duplication and overlapping of programs areas and facilities. o To avoid last minute and unrelated planning by unqualified groups and individuals. o To assure that each development is a component part of an overall integrated community plan. GENERAL While the Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan is only one element of the overall City County or Statewide Plan, it is without a doubt the most difficult of all to prepare as the basic character- istics of the people dramatically affect the recreation participation of a variety of activities. In addition, the climate and the physical resources available within the region or community also tend to create or discourage recreational demand. Therefore, unlike the sewer, water and transportation elements of a plan where standard demand quantities can be accurately utilized in projecting future needs, recreation plans must evaluate the above . factors and establish local area and facility standards that reflect the community's actual recreational demand. -2- S The problem which confronts the recreational planner is how to best identify and isolate the significant factors that affect this demand. Standards which make optimistic demand predictions for a corrrtunity can cause costly overbuilding or oversizing while standards which underestimate demand can cause a latent recreation need to go unfulfilled. Below are some of the planning methods currently used by City Planners to develop local Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plans. Below is also stated our view of the problems associated with each planning method as well as the ORB approach to determining recreational demand and need. CURRENT METHODS OF DETERMINING DEMAND AND NEEDS NATIONAL•OR STATEWIDE STANDARD METHOD These standards have generally been based on the old NRA (National Recreation Association) or the NRPA (National Recreation and Parks Association) area and facility guidelines. These standards were originally compiled as only the most general of guidelines, but like many such rules of thumb, they are often utilized by the inexperienced recreational planner to establish state, county or city-wide park systems. When using such standards, local differences in people, climate and physical resources are rarely taken into account. In fact without experience in recreational planning, it is impossible .to do so. It is ORB°s opinion that such standards can cause large planning errors resulting in costly development of unneeded areas and facilities, while facilities of greater need often go undeveloped. COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND FORUM METHOD Some communities use public meetings to determine which park and recreation areas and facilities they should develop. These meetings however are generally attended by well organized local groups, such as swim clubs or Little Leagues with specialized interests which do not represent a true cross section of the community. Thus, the results of plans prepared on the basis of such meetings are usually biased and leave the needs of large groups within the community unfulfilled. In addition, such plans represent community wish lists without regard to the financial feasibilities of supporting such facilities. For instance, a small community might wish for an indoor pool where judgment and experience have shown such a pool cannot support itself. It is -3- our opinion that community meetings by themselves are poor methods of determining recreational demand and need. THE ORB RECREATION DEMAND ANALYSIS METHOD The single most important factor which makes the ORB Park and Recreation Plan unique is the recreation demand survey and computer analysis. Since 1969 The ORB Organization has utilized a Recreation Demand Survey and Computer Analysis Technique to determine the recreational attitudes, opinions and participation rates of each community or area. By comparing the attitudes, opinions, and participation rates of your community with those of similar communities or with the Pacific Northwest as a whole, the activity participation patterns can be identified analyzed and evaluated. Since the ORB comparative index was developed in the Pacific Northwest, we can accurately predict the maximum participation which might occur should adequate areas, facilities or opportunities be provided. The ORB Organization also interprets the local climate, the social -economic profile, and the physical resources of the area into generalized factors which affect recreation participation. The ORB Organization area, facility and participa- tion inventory is compiled so that direct comparison with survey participation data may be accomplished in analyzing existing recreational demand. By utilizing the,ORB Recreation Demand Analysis Method we are able to accurately:. o Predict local recreational demand. o Determine local acquisition and development standards. o Determine accurate area and facility needs. o Determine local responsibility for park and recreation acquisition and development. These demand'and need projections prepared by The ORB Organization are then presented to the staff, the Park and Recreation Board and the public for review and comment. It is far easier to obtain an informed public critique when specific alternatives are presented at such meetings.. -4- t Based on the above recreational demand, acquisition, and development standards, and area and facility needs, and local recreation responsibility policy, we can evaluate your community, and make specific, recommendations as regards the acquisition and development of: o Neighborhood and Community Type Parks o Large City Wide Urban Parks o Urban Squares and Malls o Trail System o Special Facilities o Tennis Courts o Playing Fields Youth Leagues Softball Baseball Football Soccer o Basketball Courts o Handball & Racquetball Courts o Sports Arenas o Ice Skating Rink o Swimming Pools o Indoor Community Center o Community Theatre o Golf Course o Arboretum Based on the above specific recommendations, The ORB Organization in conjunction with the Park and Recreation staff, the Park and Recreation Board and the City Council will establish a prioritized Capital.Improvement Plan. This Capital Improvement Plan will: o Establish specific acquisiton and development targets for each year during the first six (6) year period of the plan. o Provide a budget cost for each project. o Recommend the best method of funding each acquisition or development project. _5_ PART 11 SPECIFIC SCOPE OF WORK SECTION I - SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This section of the report summarizes the major findings of the study and the specific recommendations of the plan. SECTION 11 - INTRODUCTION TO THE PLANT Recreation Trends The ORB Organization will discuss the national, statewide and regional trends that affect recreation demand for areas and facilities. Planning Process Here we will outline and summarize the planning process by which the ORB plan has been prepared, and identify those individuals and agencies within the community with whom it has been coordinated. Purpose of the Plan In this section of the report ORB will outline the purpose of the plan and discuss how it should be utilized by the community. SECTION III - GOALS AND OBJECTIVES During the planning effort the Park and Recreation staff and Board has the task of interpreting and expressing the goals, objectives and policies which will direct and guide the future park and recreation activities. Many of these goals and objectives will' be identified by ORB during each phase of the planning effort, and presented to the Park and Recreation Board for review and approval. Our experience in the preparation of over 10 major Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plans guides us in the identification and statement of significant goals and objectives. SECTION IV - DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA In this section of the report, ORB will evaluate existing information on the general characteristics of the area as to their effect on park and recreation participation and area and. facility planning. r l Several areas of specific interest to the Park and Recreation planner as well as State and Federal Reviewing Agencies are: o Historical background of.recreational activities. o Social -Economic character of people. o Climate oPhysical resources of the area. TEMPERATURE WINDS N Caspers climate is clam tied as sami-and_ Temperatures show a r i `pIL wide range between summer and winter, and between daily maximums and minimums. The predominant dry, strong west and southwest winds move downslope, warming the air as the air is compressed at the lower attitudes. The dryness of the air has a considerable modifying effect in preventing discomfort W r during the wane summer mon the as well as during periods of _ subzero temperatures in the winter. The average length of the growing season is 129 days, with the / `t_/ �To average date of the last freezing temperature in spring, May I 22nd and the first freezing temperature in fall, September 28th. %V The mean annual temperature at the Casper weather station is 45.50F. The average temperature in summer is 670 and 260 in the winter. The average temperature in the City of Casper is 20 lower in the winter and slightly highar in the summer. The extreme temperatures in the city have r ached 1050 in sn—•- and as low as -370 in winter. �'--- II n�Wt,ua��n:rv�r_-.;_ .e.a �ste�ar�ro+'i•1 �� —r-'-'-- I � ' n i __--f.-_.� 5 The prevailing winds are from the SW and WSW with a fairly constant average velocity. The highest average speed is in January with 17.0 mph and the lowest average is in July with 10.1 mph. High winds are recorded every month with the highest maximum speed 0f 81 mph recorded in March, 1956. SECTION V - INVENTORY OF PROGRAMS, AREAS AND FACILITIES One of the major considerations which affects existing participation rates is the number and condition of existing park and recreation facilities. At ORB we have learned that area and facility inventories must be accomplished in sufficient detail to allow proper evaluation of facilities and participation rates. The size and condition of a playing field is as important as the number of . fields. The quality and quantity of development of a park area is more often important than the size of the site; thus, experience has shown us that our inventories must be accomplished by trained, expe- .rienced personnel and must provide the following . information of significance to the demand/needs studies. -7- Program o Organized and fee paying activity attendance figures. o Number of teams or organized groups. o Age groups participating. o Income and expense figures. o Facility scheduling patterns. o Size. o Location. o Development patterns. o General character of area and development. o Type of facility. o Facility classification.. o Special areas or facilities. o Condition of each facility. o Ability of facility to meet accepted standards. - Table B-1 (Cont.) - MAP SYMBOL NAME OF R,E'REA 10.

The ORB Organization has pioneered in this area and is'the only firm in the Pacific Northwest capable of `localized participation and demand analysis. Since 1969 we have used our random survey computer analysis technique to identify and quantify recreational demand.in over twenty (20 Northwest cities. This technique is outlined below: Random Survey Technique . The ORB random survey technique is designed to collect statistically accurate opinion, attitude, and recreation participation information from the community. This information is then analyzed by computer utilizing the ORB recreation demand programa The resulting participation information is then evaluated against the social -economic, climatic and physical resource data, and the recreation inventory to establish probable latent demand. The ORB random survey technique is possible within the cost range of this planning fee only because of the volunteer survey technique pioneered by ORB. Under this concept The ORB Organization is responsible to: o Design the survey instrument. o Train Park and Recreation staff in the selection of random sample. o Train Park and Recreation staff in the control and administration of survey teams. o Train volunteer survey teams in the conduct of survey.. o Edit survey. o Key punch and analyze surveys by special computer program. _9_ The Park and Recreation Department is responsible to: o Recruit volunteers. o Select the random survey sample. o Administer the survey team activity.. o Send completed surveys to ORB for analysis. This random survey technique provides: o Statistically accurate data. o Demographic information by which to verify accuracy of survey. o Public opinion and attitude of a true cross section of the community. o Accurate local recreation participation information. 81.4% 18.E �4 88.1% . 11.9% 35-44 89.1% 10.9% 45-64 90.2% 9.8% 65 and over 95.8% 4.2% "ARE YOU WILLING TO SUPPORT PARK AND RECREATION PROJECTS THROUGH A LOCAL BOND ISSUE?"

From the above comparisons, the ORB recreational planners can establish area and facility standards which will meet your special needs. 1 Table 5-1 CITY AND BOROUGH OF JUNEAU PARTICIPATION RATES.

For example, relating the ORB the urban areas: tennis was 7% higher, softball was 73 basketball 25% higher and indoor swimming was 41'. higher. This y illustrates that when facilities are available they are very +ely used. arge Urban Borough Park and Shoreline Activities Facilities for a large urban park would include activities that would draw patrons from out of a district or neighborhood. This type of park often exploits a natural resource such as a lal qr salt water shoreline. Juneau average participation rates are comps elow to the ORB averages.

The ORB computer analysis also provides the participation rates of the public by each social economic characteristic, such as age, income, education, etc. Thus, the Park and Recreation Director may, for example, evaluate his future tennis programs as to the feasibility of charging use fees by reviewing the various income groups tennis participation. The ORB demand survey is a very useful planning tool. -12- Many other participation rate cross references are also possible to gain particular insight on local areas of interest. 0 of ON (31 a m ai at a - w o w o 0 0 P 0 `�►.o o. o tn N .4 .8 2.7 1.3 1.� 1. 33 1.4 ,8 1.5 1.6 1.1 1.9 1.3 34 .1 .4 1.2 1.1 1.0 .9 1.3 /BA 35 1.0 .6 i.0 1.0 .Q 1.0 1.0 36 .0 .2 .3 1.2 .5 .3 .3 37 .G .2 .2 .Q .4 .2 .2 uASH 38 .0 .0 .0 .5 .0 .1 .0 .1 YM,lAS 39 _ •0 _i.3 •1-----.9_ 4 • 7 •8 .6 RrcSTL 40 1.0 .1 .9 3 .2 S SKI 41 10 •2 .:' ' ,` '. 16 2.3 .a SLED SHOE 42 43 .6 .0 •5 , , __ .h .3n .6 .7 .6 ICE SK 44 .4 ,+� .3 .1 T .4 .1 .3 RSKATE 45 .F 01. .6 .7 _ .7 .9 _ .7 "RCHER 4c .1 .0 .7 .5 .i .3 .1 .?
