Park Department Subcommittee Report Chair Kuester presented a summary of the report. A goal was set for September or October to make a report of recommendation to the City Council, with a concept in place by July. The Subcommittee is looking into the system currently in place for parks and recreation, what would be different with a separate parks and recreation department, how the department would be structured, and the financial aspects of running such a department. The Subcommittee feel that what is lacking in the current system is a person to coordinate all the various functions of the parks and the recreation system. They felt that a Park and Recreation Director would be able to totally focus on parks and recreation. Chair Kuester felt that a sizeable portion of city resources (staff time and dollars) is already supporting parks and recreation 9.C.2.
