Attachment B �� ' Parks and Recreatian. William. J. Malinen, City Manager February 2a, 2009 Dear Bi11, Giver� the state of the economy, the uncertainty of the future and the financial condition oi the City of Rosevi7le, Roseville Parks and �ecreation is aptimistic about being part of the so[ution to stabilize tor a brighter future. Part of the following recommendations wil] rr�ake the requested reductions and positive�.y position the departrnent for the future �nd suggests hiring front line employees back as future resources allow. You have requ�sted a pla.n and related impacts for the $117,000 share of the MV�IC reduction giv�n to Parks and lZecreation. 1V�y u.nderstanding is that the City of Roseville is in a financia] condition that requires restructuring, reallocating, reducing andlor el.iminating throughout al] departments. Given community expectations and demands, it has been very difficult to reduce an already l�an opera[ion. It i� our intent to red.uce and adjust in areas that would result in the least impact to the community and will gain efficiencies along !he way. It is extr�in�ly impoz�tant to irnplement the proposed program xtnmediately as we are approaching our busiest s�ason of the year. In many ways, the program has begun by default. The Parks and Recreation Department materials and supplies budget has continually been challengec{ with no inflationary consideration so the majarity of the proposal is personn�l. related. The majority of the savings comes from a cariiplete reorganization of the departrnent operations. We are confir�ent that the proposed new structure will gain efficiencies, realize the necessary savings and will allow for the best and most efficient use of the current staff, their taler�ts (see attached befoce and after structure} and othe�� resources. The Plan and the Tmpacts , The prop�sed plan is anticipated to �e iully irr�plemented by March �15, 2009 and: �) Allows for� increased effici�ncies 2) 12educes stafiing for operatsons by 3120 FTE hours 3} O�eraIl increases r�sponsibilities attd di�ties of existing emplo�ees 4) Niodifies some pragrams and services 5} Affects every single department e�nplayee 6} Ys all interrelated 7) Makes long term structur�l changes necessary ta meet the Parks and R.ecreatian Departments �] 17,000 given share af the MVHC reduction �
