Agenda Item Detail B.1( "96 Budget Update: All present Recreation Board Joint Powers communities have considered the '96 Budget request and have committed to their assessment. All communities must still survive • their " truth in taxation" hearings. The Recreation Board needs to determine the wage and benefits package for the secretarial position. Recommendation: to have the personnel committee prepare a package and recommendation to the Recreation Board. B.2) Overview of Goals for'96: Although this Board meets on a regular basis, Jeff and the personnel committee believe that it is important for the Board to be as aware as possible of the activities that take place out of the Recreation Office. Jeff will also be making some adjustments to his monthly reports that should aid in improving understanding of current activities and issues. Goals for '96: - Continue work on strategic planning initiatives - Expand transportation service to programming - Increase/ expand service to participating communities - Increase Joint Powers Participation - Leadership in park / athletic fields advocacy, development, planning, and management - Increase our/ my responsibility / leadership to local community park and recreation commission concerns - Increase programming district wide - Continue to establish program budgets in communities that are lacking - Fund balance policy development - Continued leadership with improved service operations - Continued community involvement JA also believes that a meeting to bring all community Park Commissions together may be a good idea to begin some discussion and dialogue on how best they can all work together. B.31 Recreational programming development and parameters: At our long range planning meeting we determined that we should study some other communities that have a history of providing recreational services in a community where Community Education also exists. Jeff A. has come to the conclusion that each community is unique and has its own history of evolution and relationship to CE. It is clear that there is much potential for recreation and CE programming in this community and that it will be best that we pursue development of new initiatives rather than concern ourselves with duplication of Comm. Ed. activities. Currently staff are working closely with CE staff in the area of program planning. We also Co- sponsor activities with CE. Community Recreation staff will continue to communicate with CE about all programming initiatives. It has been suggested in the past that perhaps a joint meeting with the CE Advisory Board may be in order to further clarify each organizations objectives and how each organization can continue to closely communicate and serve the residents of the 728 area and surrounding communities.
