Community Center Operations – New Hours 2017



Last year the Department of Parks and Recreation released a Community Strategic Plan where they identified some community centers that needed additional operating hours. As part of the budget process the council requested a report back on what hours were allocated to which community centers and what process was used to determine how the hours would be allocated. Last month the department provided a breakdown of the new allocated hours.
