Changes & Initiatives – Special Revenue Fund
•Fee Increases

•New revenue from all fee increases in the Special Revenue Fund anticipated at $327,846
•Proposed increases for all fees are listed in the Summary of Fee and Tax Adjustments section of the Executive Summary.
•New Positions – 4.0 FTEs
•Aquatics
•4.0 FTEs - 3 Full-time lifeguards and 1 Supervisor
•Help ensure coverage during difficult PT staffing times
•Majority of guards are high school/college age & can’t work daytime Mon.-Fri.
•Over the last three years, PT guards declined from 240 to 200, straining resources
& at times limiting pool operational hours at various recreation centers.
Numerous initiatives in the works to both recruit and retain PT lifeguards.
Many park systems now utilize hybrid PT/FT lifeguarding model to ensure coverage.
•Supervisor Position will eliminate 1 supervisor overseeing two sites which
will reduce the continued and sporadic reduction in operational hours
