AGENDA

2. Old Business

1. Approval of March 25, 2025 Minutes

2. Review & Approval of the Claims Report

3. Citizens Participation
(Citizens wishing to speak should notify Department Head or Committee Chair in advance)

✋This would be the meeting opportunity to ask questions about the insurance rates and deductibles. It would be good to hear more specifics on this topic.

4. New Business

1. Consider and discuss Parks Operations Assistant job description

✋This is a very needed role for the Park Department. Hopefully, qualified candidates will apply. After reading the job description, it appears key skills needed would be community engagement and park stakeholder relationship building, the ability to recognize community needs through Park and Recreation, and the ability to deliver aligned programming.

2. Staff Reports

5. Adjournment
