    2005 Recreation Budget Evaluation SysTem (RecBEST) is created. RecBEST uses a Facility Condition Index (FCI) module to record and manage condition inventory. Relies solely on self reported data with little QA process involved and limited visibility into our assets, rolling it up to the PSA level.
