The partial funding of the Summer Playground Program from the General <br />Fund has been completely eliminated. This includes $24,000 in salaries and $2,300 in supplies. <br />Without the assistance of any General Fund contributions, the 2006 Summer Playground <br />Program will need to be completely self - supporting. All direct expenditures need to be covered <br />by registration fees. This includes all seasonal staff, supplies, t- shirts, naturalists visits, etc. <br />Summarized below is the 2005 Summer Playground as well as three alternatives staff is <br />considering for the upcoming Summer Playground Program. I am interested in getting feedback <br />from Park Board Members regarding the proposed options and what their thoughts are on how to <br />best structure the 2006 Summer Playground Program. I also anticipate sending out surveys to <br />last year's participants to get their feedback on which option is the most desirable. I have also <br />included specific budget information for each alternative. <br />2005 <br />8 week program — M -F (9a.m. — Noon or 1p.m. — 4:30pm) Max 50 per location — Fee $50 <br />resident, $75 non resident.
