1984 LONG-TERM FINANCIAL. PLAN <br />Page Eight <br />3. Parks and Recreation Facilities <br />Develop and implement a comprehensive parks and <br />recreation area and facilities plan for the City in <br />accordance with accepted standards and the needs and best <br />interests of the City. <br />4. Park Maintenance <br />Provide a continuous and systematic program of repair, <br />replacement and maintenance of all park and recreation <br />facilities and equipment. <br />The overriding concept the Department proposes for the next <br />five years is a steady, regulated and controlled growth. The <br />rationale for such position is based on four premises: <br />1. The City Council adopting a long range capital <br />improvement program which outlines a minimum expenditure <br />of $50,000.00 for parks and recreation facilities on an <br />annual basis with the monies to be earmarked from the <br />City's Special Projects or General Funds. <br />2. The department will retein the park maintenance staff and <br />existing staff positions will be maintained with <br />additional "manpower" being added in the area of <br />athletics, health and lifestyle programming in 1988. <br />3. The recreation activity account will continue to grow in <br />a controlled and regulated manner with annual payments <br />being made to the general fund to offset the existing <br />$28,000 debt. <br />4. The demand for recreation programs will continue to grow <br />as the City's park and recreation facilities develop and <br />improve over the next five years. With the development <br />of Silver View Park and Edgewood Community Center now <br />being completed for one year, we feel that the park <br />system will stabilize and be able to improve and grow <br />with those facilities. <br />The accompanying organizational charts identified as Exhibit <br />A and B outline the existing structure ofthe <br />Department covered and <br />the proposed staffing for the five year period <br />the <br />Plan respectively. <br />As can be noted by Exhibit B, the addition of five and one <br />half full-time personnel equivalents are proposed by the year <br />1990. The major increase of staffing would be in the park <br />maintenance division with the proposed addition of three new <br />park maintenance people by 1990 plus golf course <br />superintendent and a half time greenskeeper which would be a <br />total of 4 - 1/2 full-time manpower equivalents. The major <br />rationale for <br />
