BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
As the recreation program grows so does the need for staffing at all levels. We have hired
Recreation Program Lead positions to run such programs as Tiny Tot Time, Parks & Recreation
Days at the Holiday Inn Water Park,, Soccer Clinics, and special events.
The Recreation Program Assistant position would be used to help the Recreation Program Lead
run the class when the class level reaches a certain point. Staff monitors these levels, and when
the levels reach a certain point that adding a program assistant would be paid for through
registration fees City staff would then hire a program assistant to help with the program.
Recreation Assistants will also be used when large programs like Entertainment in the Park
reaches levels where additional staff are needed.
The difference between a program assistant and a program lead is their responsibility and
experience. Our Recreation Program Lead staffs are paid between $12.00-$14.00 per hour and
are hired to run programs and are also responsible for helping with program content and
overall supervision of that program. Recreation Program Assistant staff are paid between
$7.25-$9.00 per hour and are hired to assist the program lead with program implementation.
