Parks & Recreation presents before/after-school and summer camp budgets; Board calls proposed tuition reasonable
Summary
Parks & Recreation representative A. Brosnan presented budget details for before/after-school care and summer camps, addressing staffing, union wages, training, student counts and tuition policy; the Board judged the tuition reasonable and discussed charging out‑of‑town rates.
Parks & Recreation staff presented budget information for before-and-after-school care and summer-camp programs at the Board of Finance meeting on Jan. 21. A. Brosnan outlined program staffing, anticipated enrollment, the effects of a minimum-wage increase on union wages, employee training, field trips, guest performers and bus transportation fees.
Board members asked questions about tuition levels and whether to charge higher rates for out-of-town participants; after discussion, the Board concluded the proposed tuition rates were reasonable. No formal approval of the full Parks & Recreation budget occurred at this meeting; the presentation was part of the Board’s pre-budget review to inform upcoming decisions and public notifications (for example, summer camp sign-up flyers).
The Board also asked staff to include fund-balance figures in quarterly financial reports so the Board can monitor program reserves and spending as budget development continues.
