• would cause us an even great loss of institutional knowledge and experience, If we were to reduce the Director's position to Y2 time, the salary and related benefit savings would total about $47,000. Obviously, this option merits discussion relative to the future direction of the program. • If the Park & Recreation Director's position were reduced to 1/2 time status, the position would not be eligible for health insurance benefits under the City' Personnel Policy. That would save about $11,800. A decision on this issue needs to be made yet this fall for 2016 budgeting purposes. It should also be noted that it is assumed that a reduction in staffing can be made without negatively impacting current programming by the department. The second involves the future or recreation programming. Is it feasible for us to add other programs for youth, adults, and seniors? How do we market ourselves? Are there partnerships we can develop or expand upon to increase opportunities in Little Canada? The answers to these questions will likely determine future staffing needs, but it will take time to develop these answers, Based on the outline attached, the following indicates the status of the information to be provided: • Per Capita Cost of Recreation Budgets/Admin. — The goal here was to provide some comparative data from cities with similar programs, We have been looking at Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Mendota heights, and Vadnais Heights. The problem we are experiencing is the accessibility of that type of information from other communities. Staff will continue to pursue it and may have some data to look at Wednesday night, • Per Registrant cost of Recreation Programs -- Same situation as noted above. • Staffing Duties per Position — (Attachment 13). • Current Programs Offered -- (Attachment C). • Program Offerings/Report from surrounding, similar cities — (Attachment D). • Listing of Available Facilities -- (Attachment E). • Current Collaboration Efforts — (Attachment F). • Maplewood Parks & Recreation Study -- here are the links: Executive Summary — (Attachment G) Complete Report - http://maplewoodmn,gov/DocumentCenter/View/10956 Draft Master Plan — Work Session Review - http://maplewoodmn.gov/DoeumentCenterNiew/11873 Parks System Plan — Additional Report — http://nlaplowoodmn,gov/DoeumentConter/View/11874 • Registrant Data versus School Enrollments — (Attachment FI). • Minnesota Parks & Recreation Data — We did not include anything as it didn't seem pertinent to our situation and it was from 2011. The Committee may want additional information to aid in their review/decision making process, Staff will attempt to accommodate those requests.
