CASSCLBCRRY CITY COMN11SSION Minutes of March 24, 2025 — Regular Meeting Page 11 of 14 The proposal to retitle one of the Recreations Programs Coordinators that is currently oil the arts side of things to the Arts Programming Coordinator, and to retitle the part-time Recreation Specialist to the Arts Program Special and make it a full-time position with an increase in paygrade from 19 to 20 is to better distinguish the arts component of those positions within the division. The increase in pay grade of the Arts & Marketing Supervisor who would be supervising those two staff members from 40 to 42 would be to better align the pay grade with other supervisor positions and reflect job functions. The four new proposed positions would include two full time Recreation Specialists at pay grade 20 and one full-time Head Lifeguard at pay grade 20 to help serve Wirz Park, and one full-time Recreation, Sports & Aquatics Supervisor at paygrade 42 which would oversee Wirz Park, including supervising the Aquatics Coordinator and Head Lifeguard, as well as coordination of sports and oversight of the Wheel Parks. These changes will result in a significant increased burden to the General Fund and Budget Amendment #25-021 addresses that increase for the remainder of Fiscal Year 25 based on when it is anticipated to bring new staff on board. The increases will also be factored in the proposed Fiscal Year 26 Budget. Although they will not fully defray the increased costs of staffing and operations, additional revenues from the rental of the new facilities are expected, and an updated fee schedule will be brought to the Commission as an agenda item for consideration in the near future. Discussion: A brief discussion ensued which included: the reasoning for some of the proposed staff title changes and paygrade increases; efforts to increase programming of the Arts Center and other facilities and the need for shifting of duties so some staff would be devoted to the arts component and some the sports and recreation component; and the number of lifeguards both current and anticipated, and how the lifeguarding program and seasonal lifeguard staffing is handled. In response to a question regarding budgeting for the lifeguard program, Dr. Brock explained that there was a budget in place for temporary staff; however, at this time staff was not proposing to increase the seasonal budget. He added that lifeguards were budgeted under seasonal, not regular personal services, so that was not part of the reorganization being proposed at this time. Budget Impact: Budget Amendment 425-021 will provide sufficient funding for this item for the remainder of Fiscal year 2025. BA #25-021 Explanation of Request: This budget amendment seeks City Commission approval to provide funding for the reorganization of the Recreation Division.
