CITY OF DUBLIN
AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: September 10, 1984
SUBJECT: After School Recreation Programs
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Cost Analysis
RECOMMENDATION City Council consideration of sponsoring
City-subsidized after-school recreation
programs
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The cost of providing City-subsidized
after-school recreation programs at the
Murray and Nielsen sites would not
exceed $20 , 333 . 50 .
DESCRIPTION: Since the inception of the Recreation
Department, large numbers of residents have expressed an
immediate need for after-school supervised care for their
children.
Staff met with School Principals to assess (1) availability
of adequate facilities and (2 ) the level of school support
for making said space available for programs of this nature.
The Murray and Nielsen sites surfaced with available space
to facilitate these programs . Information on a self-
supporting program was sent home to each parent last June
prior to the closure of school . Literally hundreds of
phone calls and inquiries were received. Feedback received
indicated that local families are very interested but have
financial difficulty providing after school care for their
children.
Last Saturday, registration for these programs was
conducted. Eleven registrations were received for the
Nielsen site and seven for the Murray program. Many of our
residents have three or more children and just cannot afford
to participate in a pay-as-you- go service. Staff strongly
recommends City Council consider subsidizing these
recreational playground programs in order to provide a child
care option for the families of Dublin.
