Add to Staff: convert 4 PT lifeguards into 1 FT Lifeguard

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified the need to provide enhancements to current recreation programs and the addition of new programs and services. Converting current part-time hours to full-time hours, will provide the department the needed positions to develop and implement the programs identified in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and by the future expansion of community recreation facilities. There is a need for an additional full-time lifeguard for Aquatics. Due to increased obligation’s based on students, there available has become more limited in recent years. By converting four (4) part-time positions to one (1) full-time position the department will have more hours each week available to use on a consistent basis.
