JE, Parks and Recreation. William. J. Malinen, City Manager February 20, 2.009 Dear Bill, Attachment B Given the state of the economy, the uncertainty of the future and the financial. condition. of the City of Roseville, Roseville Parks and Recreation is optimistic about being part of the solution to stabilize for a brighter future. Part of the following recommendations will make the requested reductions and positively position the department for the future and suggests hiring front line employees back as future resources allow. You have requested a plan and related impacts for the $117,000 share of the MV11C reduction given to Parks and Recreation. My understanding is that the City of Roseville is in a financial condition that requires restructuring, reallocating, reducing and/or eliminating throughout all departments. Given community expectations and demands, it has been very difficult to reduce are already lean operation. It is our intent to reduce and adjust in areas that would ,result in the least impact to the community and will gain efficiencies along the way. It is extremely important to implement the proposed program immediately as we are approaching our busiest season of the year. In many was, the program has begun by default. The Parrs and Recreation Department materials and supplies budget has continually been challenged. with no inflationary consideration so the majority of the proposal is personnel. related. The majority of the savings cones from a complete reorganization of the department operations. We are confident that the proposed new structure wi.11 gain efficiencies, realize the necessary savings and will allow for the best and most efficient use of the current staff, their talents (see attached before and after structure) and other resources. The Plan and the Impaet The proposed plan is anticipated to be fully implemented by March 15, 2009 and: 1 Allows for. increased efficiencies 2 Reduces staffing for operations by 120 FTE hours Overall increases responsibilities and duties of existing employees 4) Modifies some programs and services 5) Affects every single department employee 6) Is all interrelated 7 Makes long terra structural charges necessary to meet the Parks and Recreation Departments is 1.17,000 given share of the 1 V c reduction. }
