Hot Topic(s) of the Month
In addition to managing current programs, staff are working on summer program planning.
Summer is the busiest program season of the year, so having the planning done early allows
for more effective marketing efforts.
In order to support program planning during the interim period while we have a vacant
Program Coordinator position, several season staff are working for the Recreation Division
in a part-time bases. These individuals have worked with the Parks and Recreation
Department for several years and have a core understanding of the level of planning that is
needed to design quality programs.
