City of Lakeville
Parks & Recreation
To: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee Members
From: John Hennen, Parks and Recreation Director
Date: September 28, 2018
Subject: NRPA Metrics Discussion Follow -Up
At our last meeting committee members reviewed NRPA Metrics data comparing the City of
Lakeville to other metro/regional communities along with comparable national communities
in 8 different categories. The categories included Agency Responsibilities, Facilities,
Workload, Activities, Agency Operations, Personnel, Capital Budget and Effectiveness.
During our meeting, committee members reviewed the data and listed the strengths of our
Parks and Recreation Department along with opportunities when comparing our department
with the other agencies. Attached in your packet is a draft summary of the discussion which
lists the strengths and opportunities for our Department compared to other metro/regional
and national Parks and Recreation Departments. Please review the document to make sure
staff has incorporated the information that was discussed accurately.
Also, at the last meeting, committee members discussed packaging up the metrics data
analysis into something such as an executive summary that can be shared. Committee
members can use the attached NRPA Metrics Draft Summary document as a starting point in
the creation of the final document which can be discussed at our meeting on Wednesday.
