Finance Committee/Parks & Recreation Committee Report

On February 5, 2004, the Finance Committee and Parks and Recreation Committee met to discuss issues concerning the progression of the pool. Present from the Finance Committee were Todd Zimmerman, Jenny Barlos and Brent Buehrer and from the Parks and Recreation Committee Doug Brainard (Mr. Zimmerman and Buehrer are also on Parks and Rec). Also present was Councilman Shook, Larry Gamble, Joe Camp, Dave Hazard, Linda Wilker and members of the press and public.

Mr. Camp and Mr. Gamble presented a handout detailing the projected costs and expenses associated with different potential scenarios of running the pool and providing concessions and swim lessons. They indicated the pool was on schedule and could potentially be opened earlier than the currently scheduled date, depending on when the water slides were finished. At this point, staffing needs to begin and to this end, permission to advertise for all positions was requested. There need also be an amendment to the code to reflect the addition of “junior lifeguards” and concession/admission persons and an increase in pay ranges. It was also the committee’s leaning to contract with the YMCA to provide swim lessons as it is projected to be a significant savings and allow for lessons to take place both in the morning and evenings. The administration will look into this further and report back to the committee and/or council before a final decision is made.

Additionally, the administration sought permission to proceed with the purchasing of deck equipment such as chairs and tables and concession equipment.

The committees unanimously recommended that the code be amended to reflect the addition of the new positions and pay ranges. Further, that the administration be permitted to advertise to fill the positions pertaining to the pool immediately. Finally, it is recommended that the administration begin the purchase process for those items indicated in their report (such as lounge chairs, picnic tables, concession equipment).

                Respectfully submitted,
                Todd M. Zimmerman, Chair-Finance                             Doug Brainard, Chair-Parks & Recreation
