OUTCOMES:
The additional staffing capacity allows the Parks and Recreation Department to achieve two goals. First is the expanded program capacity at the Redmond Senior and Community Center which will open in May 2024. Secondly, the change provides administrative centralization and more efficient allocation of work within the Park Operations and Facilities Divisions.
The 1.0 FTE request includes a Recreation Program Coordinator to support additional programming at the Redmond Senior and Community Center in the Kids Zone, toddler and family programs, and recreation events. The position is revenue backed through parks and recreation fees.
The second 0.28 FTE will be added to an existing part-time position to provide full-time administrative support to the Park Operations and Facility Divisions. The FTE will be funded by ongoing supplemental dollars already budgeted in the Parks and Recreation Department.
