NEW BUSINESS <br />First order of business was to swear in David Radziej and Arlene Mitchell. <br />A. Recreation Programs Review <br />Finance Director Bauman distributed information to those present. The information included <br />2015-2019 revenue history by course, 2019 financial information for Recreation Programs, history <br />of personnel allocations to Recreation Programs, job descriptions and past Parks and Recreation <br />Guides. There was discussion on the change in demand for different types of programs and how <br />all communities are struggling. <br />Arlene talked about how some volunteers end up having their company make a donation to the <br />Arden Hills Foundation which eventually flows back into the city Recreation Programs as a <br />donation/scholarship. <br />There was concern raised over the allocation of personnel costs to Recreation Programs. The <br />recreation employee FTE's have increased from 1.15 to 1.90. Is this allocation correct? City staff <br />will review job descriptions and report back on where the allocations should be based on current <br />work load and where they would like the job descriptions and allocations to be in an ideal <br />situation. <br />There was also discussion about if the fee schedule should be looked at to better accommodate <br />families with multiple kids in a program. Arlene mentioned that families with multiple kids in <br />programs are where the biggest need is for scholarships. <br />The fee schedule cannot be discussed until we have a better handle on personnel allocations. <br />The committee set a fixture meeting for Tuesday, March 24, 2020, at 12:00 pm. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />1245 West Highway 96 • Arden.
