TO: Mr. Henry Glaves, City Manager
FROM: Ed DeBenedetti, Director, Recreation and Parks
SUBJECT: ADDITIOP OF RECREATION SUPERVISOR
DATE: July 13, 1981
After a long discussion with our staff as well as various members
of the Boosters of Boys SrortA Organization, it is my sincere
opinion that the Departmer.-. of Recreation and Parks should
continue its present servi.:us to the youth sports groups of
the community.
As explained earlier, our department is totally involved in
working with youth programs, particularly our Recreation Supervisors.
Although we have many volunteers to help our Recreation
Supervisor's time is still taken up because of our part in the
operation of these programs. It is the general consensus that
we have a good set-up and a good community relationship. It is
also felt that if we were ever to divorce ourselves from some of
our contributions to the program, our supervisor's time Would
still be greatly needed to help coordinate activities, particularly
with groups who might splinter off from the B.O.B.S. - - groups
with little or no experience. We can see many things happening
that would create problems which the Department would eventually
have to correct.
There is also a need for the Department to progress, and with the
present personnel set-up, it is very difficult. We are going
to stagnate. Our services in some areas of adult sports will
also suffer. Getting a part-time employee to stay for any length
of time is difficult; consequently, our continuity is constantly
breaking down.
I am therefore asking that you and the City Council give serious
thought to adding another full-time supervisor to our staff, who
would take care of adult sports and activities, such as:
Summer Softball
Winter Softball
Volleyball (men, women, co-ed)
Summer Aquatics (including Summer Swim League and A.A.U.
City Swim Club)
Special clinics for players and officials
Training programs
Spacial events (tournaments, etc.)

Budget needs for Recreation Supervisor
Salary - ist step entry level
Overhead &
Total Needs
Present budget revenue to be used towards
program
July 13, 1981
$18,031.00
9,000.00
$279031.00 $27,031.00
Part-time Aide Salary $ 81065.00
Aquatic Supervisor's Salary 4,500.00
Budget Revenue $12,565.00 $123,565.00
NET TOTAL NEEDS $14,466.00
Notes If a $20.00 assessment were added to adult
sports activities named above, it is
estimated that another $6,300 in revenue
could be generated, thereby cutting the
City's added contribution+ to $8,166.00
(Our fees would still be lower than most.)
I would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to bring this matter
before the City Council. The softball people are particularly
interested in talking to the Council on this matter. I don't
like pressure groups, however, softball has been improved this
year because of Steve Boomer who will leave July 21 to take a
full-time position. They (softball interests) really feel we
need someone to keep things together; I agree. We have not
added anyone in 17 years. We have grown, we need the help.
I hope we can settle this in-house versus pressure being brought
into the picture.
