Parks staff report slight dip in program revenue, licensing ok and new pool programming planned
Summary
Assistant Director Judd told the Commission that Extended Day revenue dipped slightly due to enrollment fluctuation, Daycare costs rose because of staff pay, and the Select Board approved tuition increases for fall; Judd also highlighted new Aqua Zumba and Family Fun Nights and said state licensing found no noncompliances.
Assistant Director Judd told the Longmeadow Parks and Recreation Commission on April 13 that Extended Day program revenue has seen a slight seasonal decrease attributed to routine enrollment fluctuation, and that Daycare expenses were higher because of increased staff costs. To help offset those expenses, Judd said the Select Board has approved program tuition increases that will take effect in the fall.
Judd also reviewed highlights from the Town Manager’s March report for the Parks Department, noting new outdoor-pool programming planned for the season, including an Aqua Zumba class for adults and Family Fun Nights for families. She said both the Daycare and School Age programs recently completed the state licensing process and were found to have no noncompliances. Judd added that most seasonal position interviews are complete and that employment offers are being sent.
Separately, Commissioner Rintoul noted a Community Preservation Committee meeting scheduled for April 14 and Judd reminded the Commission about a Town Warrant information session on April 27 at the Adult Center from 6:30–8 p.m. The Commission approved the March 9 minutes by unanimous vote earlier in the meeting and later voted to adjourn; no budget or program changes were adopted by the Commission at this meeting.
The Commission’s next meetings are scheduled for May 11 and June 15 at 6:30 p.m.
