a number of reductions, including the elimination of City run volleyball programs and reducing the
operating hours of Smith High School Pool as previously planned.
Budget reductions include eliminating three (3) positions. The elimination of two (2) specialists is related to
the service level change among volleyball programming and general Sportsplex operational changes. The
third position is an analyst position related to an interdepartmental effort with Libraries to improve
technology efficiencies and share resources. The FY 14-15 budget also includes reducing two positions
from 30 hours per week 20 hours per week position as part of the Smith High School Pool service level
change.
FY 14-15 will be the first full year that the Griffin Recreation Center is operational.
In addition to working with the Library Department to improve technology related services, Parks and
Recreation is also transferring custodial services responsibilities for community centers and other parks
facilities, including thirteen (13) FTE positions, to Engineering & Inspections to take advantage of
operational and supervisory efficiencies.
