BACKGROUND:
The 1997-98 FY proposed budget for the Tustin Family and Youth Center (TFYC) contains three
new part-time positions to support recreation and leisure services at the Center. The Positions
include a receptionist, program assistant and a recreation leader. The annual appropriation for
wages and benefits for the positions totals $25,425.00
DISCUSSION:
Staff is requesting adoption of the part-time budget for the TFYC in order to facilitate
recruitment for badly needed staffing at the Center. During the summer months, use of the
Center has grown significantly. On an average day, 125 children take part in organized activities;
5'0-100 children drop in for services; and the Summer Lunch Program serves 220 children. The
typical child ranges in age between 5 and 14 years.
The lack of staffhas made it extremely difficult to conduct organized activities; provide
supervision; and properly group the children by age.
The Department has attempted to deal with these issues by using high school-aged students
under the Department of Labor, JTPA Program; utilizing volunteers; and by assigning staff from
other Department Divisions.
Staff is not planning a presentation, but is available for questions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the 1997-98 part-time employee budget for the TFYC, totaling $25,425.00.
