Mindful of the crucial environmental and aesthetic benefits trees provide, staff requests that the City Council approve a proclamation establishing Thursday, November 21, 2013 as Arbor Day in University Park. This year’s Arbor Day activities will hold special significance. In conjunction with Dallas County’s Day of Service effort, prior to planting a Red Oak tree in Williams Park, the City will hold a ceremony to honor the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy. The City will also honor former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy by planting rose bushes in that same park. On November 21, the City will also plant trees in Smith and Curtis parks. Students from Highland Park Independent School District will participate in activities at all three sites. RECOMMENDATION: City of University Park Proclamation Office of the Mayor Arbor Day 2013 WHEREAS, the City of University Park encourages and supports conservation of its parks and public properties; and WHEREAS, the beautification of University Park through the planting of trees is important to the community; and WHEREAS, the City of University Park has planted and estimated 3,600 trees since 1982 when the “Trees for Town” program was first established; and WHEREAS, Arbor Day serves as a symbol to encourage University Park residents to plant a tree as a reminder of our nation’s forests and natural resources; WHEREAS, in conjunction with Dallas County’s “Day of Service,” the City will hold a special ceremony to honor the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy with tree plantings in Williams, Smith and Curtis parks, and students from Highland Park Independent School District will participate in all three efforts; NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mayor W.

This was done in conjunction with the construction of the backup dispatch center and temporary police administration offices. In 2009, the same system was installed in the remodeled City Hall building. At City Hall, most doors are controlled by the system and especially those to sensitive areas of the building. Over the past year, staff has seen a number of components failing prematurely. The manufacturer has attempted to remedy these problems by replacing hardware components, but no longer provides support for the software platform controlling the system. An upgrade is available, but staff determined that the software and hardware components installed in the UP Public Library building are superior. Staff selected the Open Options DNA system based on their experience with the manufacturer and prevalence of local support resources. Once this selection was made, staff published RFP# 13-08 outlining the requirements of the new system. Two local vendors responded to this RFP with bids. RECOMMENDATION: Both vendors are capable of providing the services required for installation and on-going support of the system. As seen in the scoring document and pricing document attached, Schneider Electric provided more competitive pricing and offers TCPN pricing on new devices going forward. Staff recommends approval of this item and to award the bid for this work to Schneider Electric.

Notices for this item were published in the Park Cities News on August 29, and October 17, 2013. Staff mailed 59 notices to property owners within 200 feet of the subject site, with 19 responses, 10 opposed and 9 in favor. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing at its regular meeting on September 10, 2013 and further discussed and considered this item on October 8, 2013. P&Z in their discussion expressed concern that the proposed shade structure was too large and voted 3 - 2 to recommend denial. The attached ordinance has been drafted to grant approval to the proposed amendment with the following conditions: 1. The fabric shade structure to be added in accordance with the amended detailed site plan shall be installed in accordance with the specifications shown thereon; 2. The fabric shall be green in color and approved by the Fire Marshal as fire retardant; 3. Four cedar elm trees, with a minimum caliper of 4”, are to be installed on the site as shown on this amended detailed site plan. RECOMMENDATION: Planning and Zoning Commission voted 3 - 2 to recommend denial.

I am writing regarding the University Park Elementary playground.  As it sits now, the west edge  of the basketball court is nothing but dirt. After a rain event mud spills onto the basketball  court creating a slippery condition that must be remedied before students can play on the  court. Even after the field and playground areas are dry enough for activities this area remains  muddy and students track mud onto the basketball court. The Sports Court project provides an  improved surface buffer zone on the west side of the court and eliminates the

I am writing this letter to let you know of my strong support for the sport court improvements  proposed at University Park Elementary School.  The sport court was a great addition to the  school made possible by the support of many many   families.  But there is still work to do.  The extra paving and shade structure will make it better  in so many ways.  Accessibility for the disabled, safety for our kids, and much needed shade for the playground as  well as sport court  will benefit hundreds of our kids each day.  I have four grandchildren currently enrolled at UP with three more on the way.  This will be  good for all of them, as well as countless others.  Please approve this without delay.  Lucky Cullum  Mrs. Robert Brooks Cullum, Jr.    Thank you again.    Lucky Cullum  6600 Turtle Creek Blvd    City of UP P&Z and Council Members.      My name is Josh Griswold.  I live at 3808 Amherst, University Park, Tx and have 2 kids at  University Park.  I fully support the UP Elementary Sports Court.  This project addresses many  safety and usability issues on the UP Playground and is vital for the school and the community.     The playground area needs shade for the teachers while supervising the children and for the  children to rest in.  The prior trees provided shade, but prevented healthy grass growth.  Thus,  the area was prone to mud.  A man made shade structure with a man made surface beneath  would provide shade and obviate the need for grass.  Trees could be planted elsewhere, for  example along the fence line West of the playground, to address aesthetic and environmental  concerns.    Thank you again.    Josh Griswold  3808 Amherst, University Park, Tx    City of UP P&Z and Council Members.      My name is Brian Collett.  I live at 3700 Bryn Mawr and have 3 kids at UP Elementary.  I fully  support the UP Elementary Sports Court.  This project addresses many safety and usability  issues on the UP Playground and is vital for the school and the community.     We are in need of improving our sports court outside as well as additional shade especially with  our Texas heat.   Accessibility:  Currently the UP playground doesn’t have sufficient improved surfaces for students with  mobility limitations and access issues to fully participate with peers at play. This project creates  a direct path from the existing ADA playground surface to shelter under a new shade structure  and to the accessible ground surfaces through wheelchair accessible routes without having to  go through the basketball court. This direct path will help students with mobility issues interact  with their fellow students in a central area. The Sports Court renovations offer our children  accessible routes, clear floor and ground spaces, and will make the playground safer and more  accessible for all the students at UP and after hours for all children in our community.  University Park is one of the most used grounds facilities of any campus.  Shade  Additional shade is a huge need for children at play on the UP playground. With an enrollment  of 705 kids the playground handles 180 kids ages 5‐11 every 30 mins. During the hotter months  there is not enough shade and in the rainy times, no temporary shelter. The planned Sports  Court renovations provide a centrally located shade structure for all students that will provide  access and visibility on all three of the outdoor play surface. Teachers and UP Elementary Staff  will also use the shade as a safe area to monitor the entire playground during recess.  Additionally, the shade structure can also be utilized during special events like UP Carnival,  YMCA ball games, Field Day UP All Night Campout, and Boosterthon.  Mud/Safety:  As the playground sits now, the west edge of the basketball court is nothing but dirt. After a  rain event mud spills onto the basketball court creating a slippery condition that must be

The safety of our children should always be the highest priority. Nobody knows this better than  city staff and council, and the improvements to the city parks and playgrounds are a testament  to your commitment. Similarly, the UP Sports Court helps make the playground a safer place to  play by providing more shade, a fence to stop balls from the court area and directs foot traffic  around the active court, and improved visual security by providing a central vantage point for  teachers to monitor students at play in all areas of the playground.    Thank you again.

fully support the UP Elementary Sports Court.  This project addresses many safety and usability  issues on the UP Playground and is vital for the school and the community.     Currently the UP playground doesn’t have sufficient improved surfaces for students with  mobility limitations and access issues to fully participate with peers at play. This project creates  a direct path from the existing ADA playground surface to shelter under a new shade structure  and to the accessible ground surfaces through wheelchair accessible routes without having to  go through the basketball court. This direct path will help students with mobility issues interact  with their fellow students in a central area. The Sports Court renovations offer our children  accessible routes, clear floor and ground spaces, and will make the playground safer and more  accessible for all the students at UP and after hours for all children in our community.  University Park is one of the most used grounds facilities of any campus.  Additional shade is a huge need for children at play on the UP playground. With an enrollment  of 705 kids the playground handles 180 kids ages 5‐11 every 30 mins. During the hotter months  there is not enough shade and in the rainy times, no temporary shelter. The planned Sports  Court renovations provide a centrally located shade structure for all students that will provide  access and visibility on all three of the outdoor play surface. Teachers and UP Elementary Staff  will also use the shade as a safe area to monitor the entire playground during recess.  Additionally, the shade structure can also be utilized during special events like UP Carnival,  YMCA ball games, Field Day UP All Night Campout, and Boosterthon.  As the playground sits now, the west edge of the basketball court is nothing but dirt. After a  rain event mud spills onto the basketball court creating a slippery condition that must be  remedied before students can play on the court. Even after the field and playground areas are  dry enough for activities this area remains muddy and students track mud onto the basketball  court. The Sports Court project provides an improved surface buffer zone on the west side of

University Park Meeting Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission 5:00 PM University Park Council Conference RoomTuesday, September 10, 2013 4:30 - 5:00 PM - Work Session for Agenda Review The work session, which was open to the public, was called to order at 4:32 PM in the City Council Conference Room. A summary of responses was distributed to the Commission showing 15 opposed and 2 in favor, out of a total of 59 notice letters mailed to surrounding property owners. Mr. Harry Persaud then presented PowerPoint slides showing the proposed site plan and layout. He advised that city staff recommends approval of the PD Amendment with two conditions . In addition, he explained that the applicant requested signage to be added to the proposed fabric shade. City staff advised that the signage violates the current sign ordinance. Mr. Rob Dillard recommended the Commission not consider the proposed signage because of the violation. No action was taken. The work session was closed at 4:50 PM. Introduction of Commission Members Commissioner Randy Biddle, Commissioner Kim Kohler, Commissioner Doug Roach, Commissioner Liz Farley, and Commissioner Neil Harris Present:5 - Chairman Bob West, and Commissioner Mark AldredgeExcused:2 - Commissioner Jerry JordanSeated:1 - Staff in Attendance Robbie Corder, Community Development Director Harry Persaud, Chief Planning Official Amanda Hartwick, Planning Technician The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of University Park will conduct a public hearing in the Council Conference Room. Consideration will be given to the following item(s): Page 1City of University Park September 10, 2013Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes PZ 13-004 Hold a public hearing and consider a request by HPISD for approval to amend the detailed site plan for Planned Development District, PD-15, to add a concrete pad and fabric shade structure on the north west corner of the site at the University Park Elementary School, situated at 3505 Amherst Street. The subject site is zoned Planned Development District, PD-15 in accordance with the City of University Park Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Acting Chairman Biddle opened the public hearing at 5:00 PM and read the case before the Commission. He then opened the floor to City Staff for presentation. Mr. Persaud introduced the applicants in attendance including Dr. Lynda Carter, Principal for UP Elementary, Mr. Tim Turner, Assistant Superintendent for HPISD, and Mr. Brett Holzle, a consultant for the project. Mr. Holzle addressed the Commission, stating that the project was being funded through donations with the goal to increase the amount of shaded space. He explained that two trees were removed in the proposed site area due to a drainage issue which caused the space to be unusable. Acting Chairman Biddle then called on those wishing to speak in favor of the proposed PD Amendment. Mr. Lloyd Denman, who resides at 2928 Westminster, addressed the Commission. He stated that he has a 4 th grader at UP Elementary and is in favor of the shade structure. He added that the school was built in the 1920's and he believes that the residents that live near the school should anticipate this kind of activity. Mr. Jason Signur, who resides at 2817 Amherst, addressed the Commission in favor of the PD Amendment. He stated that he is the President-Elect for the Dad's Club. This group organized the fundraiser which is paying for the project in its entirety. He explained that he believes the project is necessary to accommodate the future expansion of the school. He then read two letters in favor of the proposed project. Chairman Farley asked if the fundraising was for the shade structure or the sport court. He replied that the fundraiser was for both items. Dr. Lynda Carter then addressed the Committee in favor of the PD Amendment . She explained that the school has between 140 to 150 students on the playground during recess hours, and currently there is no relief for overheated students. She expressed that the proposed structure will help make the area multi-use, and that the design was made with the community in mind. Mr. Rob Flint, who resides at 3467 Amherst, addressed the Commission in favor of the PD Amendment. He stated that he is the previous President for the Dad's Club, and explained that the organization wanted to make a positive contribution to the community by funding the project. He explained that the shade structure will be, in his opinion, no different than structures which currently exist at other schools in HPISD. A discussion then ensued regarding the existing shade structures at other schools including Hyer Elementary and Armstrong Elementary . Acting Chairman Biddle then called on those wishing to speak in opposition to the proposed PD Amendment. Mrs. Marilyn Jayroe, who resides at 3532 Amherst, addressed the Commission. She presented photos of several views of the proposed site and stated it is her estimation that 60% of the north side of the school campus is concrete. She explained that she has been to other schools in HPISD and does not feel that they have as much concrete as UP Elementary . She added that she believes the increased concrete devalues surrounding properties. Mr. Rodger Jayroe, who resides at 3532 Amherst, then addressed the Commission in Page 2City of University Park September 10, 2013Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes opposition to the proposed PD Amendment . He explained that he has been a resident of University Park for 30 years, and was surprised that the school recently cut down 2 trees in preparation for this project. He stated that he felt the removal of the trees was a violation of the tree preservation ordinance. He added that he felt the concrete increases heat, and would rather the school create shade with landscaping. Mr. Ed DeLoach, who resides at 3428 Bryn Mawr and owns the property at 3549 Stanford, addressed the Commission in opposition to the proposed PD Amendment . He expressed that the notice letter was not very descriptive, and he believes more residents would be opposed to the project if they were better informed. He added that the structure will be an eyesore and trees would make a better coverage option. Mr. Lathram Pou, who resides at 3520 Amherst, addressed the Commission. He stated he has a son in 1 st grade at UP Elementary, and he also lives next door to the Jayroes. He stated that he felt the addition to the school several years ago caused more concrete and added to the drainage issues. He explained that he feels everyone wants to provide for the children and he understands the concrete pad helps with accessibility for disabled students. He added that he believes trees could be added to the project as a compromise to bring in more greenery. Acting Chairman Biddle closed the public hearing at 5:28 PM and opened the floor to questions and comments from the Commissioners. Commissioner Roach asked what type of shade structures exist at other HPISD schools. A discussion then ensued regarding these structures. Commission Kohler then stated that in his opinion, the concrete is more objected than the shade structure. Mrs. Jayroe replied yes from the audience. Commissioner Farley then stated that she has raised funds for three playgrounds and is pro-playground, but feels that is important to be sensitive to the neighbors. She added that she believes the money could be used for landscaping and other alternatives to help with the drainage issues. A motion was made by Commissioner Roach, seconded by Commissioner Kohler, that this PD Amendment be tabled. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. The case will be scheduled for the October 8, 2013 Meeting. Consider the previous meeting minutes with or without corrections: 13-217 Minutes from July 9, 2013 A motion was made by Commissioner Roach, seconded by Commissioner Kohler, that the Minutes be approved. The motion carried by a unanimous vote.

The subject site is zoned Planned Development District, PD-15 in accordance with the City of University Park Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Chairman West opened the meeting at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber. He stated that the first case would be heard by the same acting Commissioners that were present for the public hearing in September, in order to maintain consistency. He opened the floor to Acting Commissioner Randy Biddle who then read the first case . Mr. Harry Persaud approached the podium and reiterated the staff recommendations that were discussed in the work session. Acting Chairman Biddle then asked the Commission for questions and comments. Commissioner Roach stated that he was split on the issue. He believes the structure is too large and if the PD amendment is passed, then other schools may want something similar. Commissioner Farley stated she agreed with Commissioner Roach, and believes this would set a precedent. She added that the proposed structure is similar to the size of a 4-car garage and she feels there is a better solution for everyone involved. Commission Kohler explained that he visited other schools in the district, and feels the structures at those schools blend better and are not as obtrusive as what is being proposed. He added that the proposed structure feels like a pavilion, and he believes a retractable or temporary option might be better. Acting Chairman Biddle stated that he disagrees and feels that the district has made an effort to work with the neighbors and their recommendations. A discussion then ensued regarding ADA compliance . Mr. Persaud stated that a condition could be added to the PD Amendment for this . Commissioner Kohler inquired about smaller options for the shade structure. Mr. Brett Holzle, of SHW Group, approached the podium and stated there are options for smaller canopies. He stated that the height could be reduced. Commissioner Roach asked if the square footage could be reduced and Mr. Holzle acknowledged this was also an option. Commissioner Farley then stated she feels the proposal needs to be re-designed. Commissioner Harris stated he believes the design was done with this location in mind, and therefore does not believe this sets a precedent as it is site-specific. A motion was made by Commissioner Farley, seconded by Commission Roach, that this PD Amendment be recommended for disapproval. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye:Commissioner Kohler, Commissioner Roach, and Commissioner Farley3 - Nay:Commissioner Biddle, and Commissioner Harris2 - Non-voting:Chairman West, and Commissioner Aldredge2 - Page 2City of University Park October 8, 2013Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes PZ 13-005 Hold a public hearing and consider a request by SMU to change the zoning from Single Family, SF-4 to University Campus, UC-2 on a tract of 2.66 acres more or less located north of McFarlin and east of Airline Road and situated in the Joel Sykes Survey Abstract N 0. 1338, the same being part of Block 2 and part of Block 5, University Court Addition, City of University Park, Dallas County, Texas. Following the vote for case PZ 13-004, Chairman West and Commissioner Aldredge replaced Commissioner Farley and Commissioner Harris in order to hear case PZ 13-005. Commissioner West asked city staff to brief the Commission on the case . Mr. Persaud approached the podium and stated that a detailed report had been given during the work session. He advised that representatives from SMU were present for questions and comments. Commissioner Roach asked for detail regarding notices mailed to surrounding property owners. Mr. Persaud stated that there were 3 notices mailed. Those surrounding property owners included SMU, the Catholic Diocese, and Delta Delta Delta sorority. There were no responses received. Chairman West then opened the floor to the applicant. Mr. Phillip Jabour of SMU addressed the Commission and stated he was happy to answer any questions.

BACKGROUND: SMU owns the subject site and is requesting the rezoning of the tract to University Campus, UC-2 zoning district classification to allow for future development consistent with their long range master plan. In the short term however, SMU proposes to construct a surface parking lot on the site to provide for an additional 215 parking spaces. Section 20-102 (see attachment #4) of the comprehensive zoning ordinance provides a list of uses which are permitted in the UC-2 zoning district. As part of the zoning consideration, SMU is at the same time requesting the abandonment and conveyance of public right-of-ways located on the property. SMU will provide the city with utility easements to access and maintain city water and sewer lines located on the subject site. The permitted land uses and building intensities on the tract located in the UC-2 district will increase significantly compared to the current SF-4 land uses and development standards. Residential and non-residential building heights for example, will increase to 42 and 55 feet respectively. A public notice was published in The Park Cities News on September 26, 2013 and October 17, 2013 and notices were mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the subject site. At the time of this report no one responded. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Zoning Commission held a public hearing and considered this item at its regular meeting on October 8, 2013, and voted 5 - 0 to recommend approval.

Consideration will be given to the following item(s): Page 1City of University Park October 8, 2013Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes PZ 13-004 Consider a request by HPISD for approval to amend the detailed site plan for Planned Development District, PD-15, to add a concrete pad and fabric shade structure on the north west corner of the site at the University Park Elementary School, situated at 3505 Amherst Street. The subject site is zoned Planned Development District, PD-15 in accordance with the City of University Park Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Chairman West opened the meeting at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber. He stated that the first case would be heard by the same acting Commissioners that were present for the public hearing in September, in order to maintain consistency. He opened the floor to Acting Commissioner Randy Biddle who then read the first case . Mr. Harry Persaud approached the podium and reiterated the staff recommendations that were discussed in the work session. Acting Chairman Biddle then asked the Commission for questions and comments. Commissioner Roach stated that he was split on the issue. He believes the structure is too large and if the PD amendment is passed, then other schools may want something similar. Commissioner Farley stated she agreed with Commissioner Roach, and believes this would set a precedent. She added that the proposed structure is similar to the size of a 4-car garage and she feels there is a better solution for everyone involved. Commission Kohler explained that he visited other schools in the district, and feels the structures at those schools blend better and are not as obtrusive as what is being proposed. He added that the proposed structure feels like a pavilion, and he believes a retractable or temporary option might be better. Acting Chairman Biddle stated that he disagrees and feels that the district has made an effort to work with the neighbors and their recommendations. A discussion then ensued regarding ADA compliance . Mr. Persaud stated that a condition could be added to the PD Amendment for this . Commissioner Kohler inquired about smaller options for the shade structure. Mr. Brett Holzle, of SHW Group, approached the podium and stated there are options for smaller canopies. He stated that the height could be reduced. Commissioner Roach asked if the square footage could be reduced and Mr. Holzle acknowledged this was also an option. Commissioner Farley then stated she feels the proposal needs to be re-designed. Commissioner Harris stated he believes the design was done with this location in mind, and therefore does not believe this sets a precedent as it is site-specific. A motion was made by Commissioner Farley, seconded by Commission Roach, that this PD Amendment be recommended for disapproval. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye:Commissioner Kohler, Commissioner Roach, and Commissioner Farley3 - Nay:Commissioner Biddle, and Commissioner Harris2 - Non-voting:Chairman West, and Commissioner Aldredge2 - Page 2City of University Park October 8, 2013Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes PZ 13-005 Hold a public hearing and consider a request by SMU to change the zoning from Single Family, SF-4 to University Campus, UC-2 on a tract of 2.66 acres more or less located north of McFarlin and east of Airline Road and situated in the Joel Sykes Survey Abstract N 0. 1338, the same being part of Block 2 and part of Block 5, University Court Addition, City of University Park, Dallas County, Texas.

Mr. Persaud stated that there were 3 notices mailed. Those surrounding property owners included SMU, the Catholic Diocese, and Delta Delta Delta sorority. There were no responses received.

The specific areas under consideration are: University/Fondren alley between Airline and Dublin Fondren between Airline and Dublin Fondren/McFarlin alley between Airline and Dublin Dyer/SMU alley between Airline and Dublin SMU owns all of the private property abutting the rights-of-way being considered for abandonment. As part of its development plans, SMU desires to consolidate the parcels in this area. The abandonment of the City's rights-of-way will better facilitate those consolidation efforts. In light of SMU's ownership and future development plans, the City has no future use or need of the subject rights-of-way. The City and all private utilities with current easements in this area will retain those easements until such time as SMU's development efforts render those easements unnecessary. An appraisal of the subject property has set the Fair Market Value of the subject rights- of-way at $62.00 per square foot. This valuation extends to a total value of $3,895,000.00 for the four tracts of land. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance to abandon various street and alley rights of way to SMU as described in the attached exhibits. 3800 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS 75205 TELEPHONE (214) 363-1644 P:\Agenda Packets\907_City Council_11_5_2013\0011_1_Staff Report.docx 3:42 PM 11/01 AGENDA MEMO 11/5/2013 Agenda TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Harry Persaud, Chief Planning Official SUBJECT: Consideration of an ordinance amending Sec. 40 of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to amend the definition of Community Center (Public) BACKGROUND: The current definition of Community Center (Public) in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance is as follows: “A building and grounds owned and operated by the City of University Park for the social and recreational benefit of the citizens."

With the introduction of nine annual special events, the expansion of facility usage by the YMCA for youth athletic programming, the registration of tennis instructors, personal trainers, boot camps and sports clinics, and the addition of several new activity components at the Holmes Aquatic Center has generated additional recreational services for all age groups. The aquatic center alone requires the hiring and supervision of some 50 seasonal employees, all which are required to retain various types of lifeguard certifications prior to the beginning of the pool season. This hiring process begins in January each year with position advertisements and skill testing and continues until the pool season is over and the facility is winterized in October. Supervisory staff also must possess several different certifications to safely operate the facility and provided required weekly in- service training to the pool staff. In the past, these supervisory duties were completed by interns or college students which potentially lacked all the necessary certifications and experience required in today’s specialized aquatic industry. Staff requests City Council consideration of staff’s recommendation of creating a new full time position of Aquatics Supervisor – Program Specialist ($45,048 - $68,304 annually) to support the increase in recreational programming within our community. The position will oversee the operations of the aquatic center, special events programming and act as a liaison with the YMCA and HPISD. Staff believes that the position will afford the City greater continuity and administration regarding recreational programming, policy and procedures and the expectations of our residents. Recently, the Parks Advisory Committee unanimously supported the development of this position. The position will be similar to those offered by many of our surrounding communities. RECOMMENDATION: Funding for the Aquatics Supervisor – Program Specialist position will be supported by the current Parks Department Swimming Pool operating budget and revenues generated by the aquatics center. Staff requests City Council approval of the new position, allowing staff to begin advertising for the position November 2013.
