FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Total Cost - $19 ,318 . 75
DESCRIPTION At the October 9 , 1984 meeting of the Park &
Recreation Commission, the Commission unanimously recommended that the City
Council establish the After-School Recreation Program as a basic level of
service and provide 100% financial subsidy for the program. A memorandum
from the Park & Recreation Commission is attached.
At its meeting of September 10 , 1984 , the City Council deferred action on
this item for a period of two months and directed Staff to bring this item
back to the City Council at the end of that period. Since registration for
this program is accepted at the beginning of each month, the Park &
Recreation Commission is concerned that curent participants in the program
would be left without an alternative, should the City Council terminate the
program at its first meeting in November . Therefore, the Commission is
desirous of a Council decision at this time .
Although total funding of the program may have merit, it is Staff 's position
that the City Council defer action until Staff has had an opportunity to
survey parents in the affected school in order to determine why participa-
tion has not been greater .
For example, it may be that the short hours of the program do not permit
parents to have sufficient time to commute home to pick up their children.
If this is the case, total subsidization of the program may not increase the
enrollment of the program at all . If the goal is to have a successful
functioning program, it is important to know what the City must do to
accomplish that goal .
During the next few weeks , the Recreation Director will be conducting a
survey at the Murray and Nielsen Schools to determine why the after-school
programs do not have more participants .
It is Staff ' s recommendation that the City Council note the Commission ' s
concern, but defer action on this program until its meeting of November 26 ,
1984 at which time the results of the survey will have been tabulated. This
would assure current participants that the program would continue until the
end of November .

T0: City Council
FROM . Park & Recreation Commission
SUBJECT: After-School Recreation Program
DATE: October 15 , 1984
At the September 10 , 1984 meeting of the City Council, -staff was
directed to begin operation of the After-School Recreation
Program located at the Murray and Nielsen sites .
Council further directed that the programs be continued for two
months at which time they desired a recommendation from the Park
and Recreation Commission regarding future disposition of the
program.
At the October 9 , 1984 meeting of the Park and Recreation
Commission, discussion was held relative to meeting community
needs, the philosophy behind the provision of basic recreation
services and most specifically, how the After-School Recreaton
Program was perceived in relationship to such criteria.
The Commission agreed that the After-School Recreation Program:
1 . Was meeting the needs of parents desiring
after-school supervised care,
2 . Was providing a safe environment in a
recreation setting where children could
participate in planned and directed games,
sports and creative activities,
3 . Was basic to the provision of recreation
services in the community and should be
provided at no cost to the participants,
and
4 . Should be granted 100% financial support
by the City Council .
The Commission was emphatic in their recommendation that City
Council address the subject of the provision of basic services .
They believe that the After-School Recreation Program should be
considered as a basic service and if not provided as such should
not be provided at all .
The Commission ' s recommendation is prior to the two month pilot
period due to their desire to allow adequate lead time to notify
parents should the program be cancelled.
