Four Full-Time Jobs at Parks and Rec on the Agenda

With youth sports being managed by the Parks and Recreation
Department rather than outside groups, more staff are needed for the expansion.

Increased
staffing is required to provide high-quality, consistent recreational
services that meet the community’s expectations, and improve customer service
and the overall recreational experience for Margate residents.

To support this expansion, the Recreation Division will
require additional personnel. The proposed staffing changes include:

• One full-time recreation coordinator at an annual cost of
  $67,808
• 
  
  Three full-time recreation attendants at an annual cost of
  $141,898
• 
  
  Six part-time attendants at an annual cost of $123,758

This results in a total annual staffing cost of $333,463,
which is an increase of $181,579 from the current expenditure.

Fiscal Impact:

• Revenue Impact: The department projects a revenue surplus of
  $142,914, which includes $102,914 from actual revenues exceeding the budget and
  an additional $40,000 from new indoor rental facility revenue at Firefighters
  Park.
• 
  
  Expenditure Impact: The additional staffing costs amount to
  $181,579. Operating supplies costs will be covered by user fees, resulting in
  no additional expenditure on supplies.
• 
  
  The net budget increase for this initiative is projected to
  be $38,665.

The city commission’s upcoming vote will determine whether
this proposed staffing increase will move forward.
