BA C KG R O U N DM U ST I F I CATION:
Staff is requesting moving the Recreation Administrative Assistant from 20 to 30 hours per week and
provide prorated benefits. The hours for this position have gradually increased from 8 hours in 2013 to
the current to level of 20 hours per week. In addition to the 20 hours per week of program and
administrative support, this position works an additional 4 hours per month to provide administrative
support for the Parks and Recreation Commission meetings. This position also has the ability to work
additional hours which are financially offset by program revenue and/ or building rental fees.
Staff is requesting an increase due to the additional programs, rental opportunities, and events it offers.
The Department continues to see the increase in participation and rentals continue in 2015. For
example, the t-ball program saw an increase of 14% in 2015 with almost 30 kids on the waiting list and
Easter Day saw a 150% participant increase in 2015.
The approved 2016 budget amount for the Recreation Administrative Assistant position was an increase
of $17,019 over the 2015 amount. The increase in hours will be used to build current programing in the
Senior Center and sport camps offerings and future potential programs like summer camps and flag
football.
