Committee weighs trimming or restructuring events as pool operations return in 2027
Summary
Members and staff discussed whether the city's events portfolio should be reduced or restructured because the recreation-and-events supervisor's workload will increase when aquatics returns in 2027; staff will compile attendance, revenue and staff-hour data and seek community input before deciding.
Committee members and staff discussed the city's full events portfolio and whether it should be reduced, simplified or restructured to avoid overburdening a single recreation-and-events supervisor. Staff said turnover plus the planned return of aquatics and pool operations in 2027 are expected to substantially increase the supervisor's workload.
The committee agreed that core signature events'Founders Day, July 4th, Fall Frolic and Holiday in the Village'should likely be preserved, but that other events could be candidates for modification. To inform any change, staff will compile detailed data for each event, including attendance estimates, revenue where applicable and staff hours, and will pursue community feedback through surveys and event-based QR codes. The group also supported exploring a part-time or coordinator-level position to share workload; staff said they will raise the concept during upcoming budget discussions.
No formal policy changes were adopted; the item will return to the agenda next month after staff data collection and community outreach.
