Commission authorizes stipends to certify three in-house Red Cross instructors
Summary
Littleton Parks & Recreation approved stipends for three staff to become Red Cross-certified instructors (identified as Jeff, Kelsey and Mo). The meeting described the stipend as $2,500 (50 hours at $50/hour), payable from the PRCE revolving fund and subject to available budget.
The Parks & Recreation Commission approved stipends to certify three staff members as in-house Red Cross aquatics and first-aid instructors so they can train seasonal staff. The stipend amount discussed in the meeting was $2,500, described as compensation for 50 hours at $50 per hour; payment was said to come from the PRCE revolving fund and is subject to budget availability.
Commissioners and staff discussed that the certification program includes a three-day training (one day for recertification plus two days for full certification) and that in-house instructors would help the department be more nimble in training lifeguards and counselors. Staff noted that the newly certified instructors (Jeff, Kelsey and Mo) will then train roughly 15–20 additional seasonal staff who still require certification.
A commissioner moved to approve stipends for the three staff for the remainder of this fiscal year and into the next; the motion passed by voice vote. Commissioners also noted a previously authorized stipend related to youth sports council work that has not yet been paid and that stipends are subject to available annual budget modifications.
