H, MEMORANDUM COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services lk DATE: June 30, 2000 SUBJECT: City Teen Program Proposal This report is a supplemental to the City Manager's Report proposing expenditures for the FY 99/00 savings (Item 10B on the July 5, 2000 City Council Agenda). The City Manager's recommendation includes $100,000 for teen programs and additional AVRC part-time hours, and this report provides future details on the proposed expenditures. Currently, the City's teen programs consist of band jams, the skate park, the Teen Council, recreation classes targeted to teens, excursions (primarily winter ski trips), special theme nights (Romantic Movies Night), and a teen basketball league. Over the past year, we have looked at ways to enhance and expand teen programs. The proposal developed includes: hiring a part-time Teen Coordinator, sponsor an after - school program at Mesa Verde Middle School (Student Union), offer more Friday and Saturday late night activities (dances, band jams, basketball, etc.), expand the number and types of excursions (local beach trips and regional location trips), and special interest programs such as job fairs, and workshops on topics of interest to teens. The proposal also includes a number of opportunities to jointly offer programs and activities with other youth service agencies including, but not limited to, the Moorpark Boys and Girls Club and MUSD. The proposed enhanced teen program consists of the following: P/T Teen Coordinator (two year funding for 1,200 hrs per year, - $36.000 The proposed budget figure includes two year's funding ($18,000 per year). This position would be responsible for planning and organizing all teen programs, activities, and special events including the proposed after - school program for middle school teens. The position would also staff the Teen Council under the supervision of the Recreation Superintendent. P/T Teen Staff Hours (two year funding for 600 hours per year) - $12,000 Provides for additional staff hours to supervise teen programs, events, and activities. It is anticipated that most activities require two or more staff and the proposed hours will be used to augment and assist the Teen Coordinator. MAMLindley \RECREAT1Teen Programs memo.doc Teen Activities and Events ($4,500 for two years) - $9,000 This provides for costs associated with enhancing existing teen programs and providing new ones, including additional band jams, late night basketball, a job fair, more skate park activities and other programs to be developed in the future with the assistance and input of the Teen Council and other interested teens. The proposed After - School Teen Program (Student Union) would be funded as follows: After - School Teen Program (two year funding) - $36,000 The proposed budget of $36,000 per year for the after - school program includes funding for 2 part-time staff (approximately 1,500 hours each year) to staff the program. Additionally, the budget includes $3,000 ($6,000 over a two year period) to purchase equipment, materials and supplies. Examples of purchases needed include, but are not limited to, game tables, recreation equipment, craft supplies, a microwave and small refrigerator (to serve as a snack bar). To date, Mesa Verde Middle School has expressed an interest in hosting the after - school program on campus, but no commitments have been made. Additional Part-Time Staff Hours (700 hours for one year) - $7,000 The budget request also includes an additional 700 hours to staff AVRC at a cost of $7,000. Registration for recreation classes and sports leagues have more than doubled over the past year and requests for park and facility rentals have also increased. Overall, the workload at AVRC has grown and all of the part-time and a significant portion of the full -time staffs' time is now dedicated to dealing directly with residents at the counter and on the phone, which has impacted their ability to plan and administer programs. The additional requested hours will be used to provide full -time professional staff more time to spend on program development and implementation, and will provide an equivalent of 2,260 hours (1,560 hours are currently budgeted) of office support staff to cover the approximately 2,625 hours the AVRC office is open (8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday — Friday) to the public. cc: Steve Kueny, City Manager MAMLindtey\RECREA=een Programs memo.doc
