Council to reassess community center staffing and programming before adding position
Summary
Staff told council a community-center position that had been budgeted may have been scheduled prematurely; staff recommended using programming demand to determine hours and staffing rather than immediately filling the role.
Interim City Manager Steve Norwood told council a community-center position that had been budgeted may have been added a year earlier than necessary and recommended first testing programming and hours to determine need. "The community center needs a long hard look at programming. Do we need to be open six days a week? Is there a demand for Monday and Tuesday evenings?" Norwood asked, saying he wants programming to drive hours rather than assuming demand.
Council supported a pilot approach and identified Brooke as the staff lead for programming. Norwood suggested using social media and a mix of activities (from goat yoga to crafts) to build attendance before committing to permanent staffing or hours.
