LITTLE CANADA PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT CITY OFFICES: 515 Little Canada Road / Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 Telephone: (612) 484 -2177 / Fax: 484-4538 JIM MORELAN, Director 451 Ell Road 484.2547 JACK FITZGERALD, Asst. Director 2920 Vanderble Street 483-3117 DIANE HUSAK, Asst. Director, Girls Activities 2380 Greenbrier Circle 483 -9302 MEMORANDUM TO: Joel Hanson, City Administrator FROM: Jim Morelan, Parks and Recreation Director DATE: October 28, 1991 RE: Assistant Parks and Recreation Directors' Positions 2 believe that eliminating the Assistant Directors' positions, upon the creating of a full -time position for Parks and Recreation Director, would be a step backward toward giving the Department the opportunity to expand and operate as it should. There remain too many areas in the Recreation portion of the Department that need coordination and attention during the evenings and weekends. The youth recreation programs require by far the biggest majority of the time spent by the Parks and Recreation Department and there are countless times where all three people have to be at several places at the same time, due to the overlapping of different games and sports activities on the same evenings. To emphasize this, there is a heavy concentration of activities within the twelve hour period of 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. During this time period, the following activities take place: 1. All tee ball 2. All baseball 3. All softball 4. Soccer - All 5. Volleyball - 6. Gymnastics - 7. Basketball - JM:kv practices and practices and practices and practices and All practices. All activity. All practices. games. games. games. 1/2 of games. seb•'page 41
