COMMUNITY RECREATION UPDATE. ITEM # 7.
Staff Report
Michele Bergh
February 2000
Staffing
Dan will be leaving us soon as the job was not quite what he had thought it would be. He is not working
as many hours as he was hired for anymore, something we mutually agreed on, and we now have
someone coming in in the afternoons after school to help us stay caught up with our workload. We are
running an ad in the paper to hire a replacement and to begin looking for the second person. We have
also had some challenges with other part time staff. Some of the challenges have been people not
showing up when schedule and not fulfilling the duties as assigned. These positions continue to be a
challenge to supervise as they are usually offsite and are not supervised directly. Each issue is handle on
an individual basis and disciplinary action is taken.
Winter Programming
Last month I gave some information on registrations for the winter quarter. I was asked to compare last
winter to this winter. I have attempted to do so but the informationi is not exact. We have switched
computer systems and the old system does not draw out the same information as the new one easily and
Fall/Holiday were entered in the same file and Winter/Spring were entered in the same file last year and
so the data is combined for the two quarters in each file. What I can easily compare is the number of
registrations for programs beginning during the same period of time. In winter 1999, we had 465
registered participants. In winter of 2000, we had 843. The differences are more participants in the Pee
• Wee programs we are currently offering, higher gymnastics numbers, more participants in a one day ski
trip we offer in January, and more participants in the Skating Academy program.
Spring Programming
We have taken 461 registrations so far for our spring classes. We have 4 classes that have started
already; the remaining classes begin over the next few weeks. 5 out of 6 gymnastics classes are full and
we are looking at adding some classes. The Pee Wee classes were all full when they started last week.
The Skating Academy is doing really well once again. We have 85 skaters registered for the ice show,
which is high than expected.
Summer Programming
We are working heavily on summer programming as the programs all need to be setin the next month.
The summer brochure is delivered April 26.
Youth Associations
Our office is very busy handling youth association issues. We get many phone calls with questions,
requests for forms and contact names and phone numbers. It will continue to get busier as the summer
draws near.
Ice Rinks
Warming houses are all closed now. I will be collecting the last of the logs and completing a summary
of the season as soon as possible.
