<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: September 1, 2021 <br /> <br />TO: Sarah Cotton, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br /> <br />RE: 2022 Budget - Recreation Department / Warming Houses <br /> <br /> <br />2022 Recreation Department <br />Below is a summary of our previous discussions on how we can resume limited 2022 Recreation <br />Department programming offerings along with estimated staffing costs. Please note that there is <br />no provision for instructional programs, leagues, etc. <br /> <br />Spring Fling <br />Family Corn Roast <br />Rockin’ In The Park <br />Senior Trips <br />Blue Heron Days Events <br /> <br />Propose hiring part-time (no benefits) Recreation Coordinator at 29 hours per week for 6 months <br />at a total cost of $24,595. The Recreation Coordinator could also serve as a city liaison to <br />community service organizations and youth sports associations, as well as provide outreach <br />services to school districts, neighboring communities, etc. <br /> <br />It is our intent to not request additional General Fund dollars for Spring Fling, Family Corn Roast, <br />Rockin’ In The Park, and Senior Trips. Rather, staff will explore sponsorships and continue to <br />generate revenue through registrations, sales, etc. I recommend that $10,000 continues to be <br />allocated for Blue Heron Days expenses. <br /> <br /> <br />Warming Houses This Winter <br />There has been some discussion during previous budget meetings regarding the possibility of <br />providing rink attendants for the upcoming winter season.
