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