Originally, the City <br />Council approved a summer intern for Parks and Rec whereby, the City would hire a <br />student to develop a summer program and this individual's wages would be paid from <br />this line item. Since then, the Council has rethought that idea and at this point has <br />decided to use most of those funds in the hiring of a financial director. <br /> <br />Also, Mr. LeBlanc indicated in his e-mail that beca1lse there was hardly an ice ~kS\fing <br />season, that there may be sufficient monies in the budget to cover a large portion of the <br />skate park attendant's salary. Staff's calculations indicate that there would be roughly <br />$1,200 for an attendant's salary at this point. <br /> <br />If the Committee would sit down and determine the number of hours a week they feel are <br />critical to having someone at the skate park, Staff could submit that recommendation to <br />the Council with suggestions on where to take the money :from to support this hiring. I <br />am also checking with the Police Chief to find out which daytime hours seem to have the <br />most caDs to the park. I hope to have that information attached to this memo, but if it is <br />not, I will present that information at the Park and Rec meeting on May 1. <br /> <br />Also, the issue of a shelter around the port-a-potties was brought to my attention. There <br />is approximately $11,500 in capital improvements that might be used for this <br />construction. Please discuss and have a recommendation for Council if this is a project <br />that you would like to pursue. <br />
