2019 SUMMER SEASONAL STAFF: This year, more so than in years past, we were able to keep all
six of our bathing beaches open until the third week of August. At that point, due to limited staff
availability, we had to close one beach. In 2018 we were down to only four lifeguards at this time.
Heading into September 2019 we have eight guards but do anticipate additional closures for the
upcoming holiday weekend. Staff assignments will focus on our main bathing beaches including
Town Beach, New Suffolk, Gull Pond and Goose Creek.
FALL BROCHURE & PROGRAMS:
The Fall Brochure was an insert in the August 8th edition of the Suffolk Times. Popular classes like
Aerobics and Tai Chi sold out opening day. New classes that were added to the fall line-up include
Little Scholars Toddler Time, Herbs for the Holidays and our first fall Line Dancing. Our previous
Youth Basketball instructors were unavailable this season. New instructors were identified and hired.
We look forward to a revitalized and even better program this fall.
REGISTRATION WEBSITE UPDATE:
We are approaching our one year mark using the new mobile friendly registration portal. The system
is very user friendly on the front end and user confidence is building. This is an entirely new system
for not only the Town, but for the company that we contract with. As such, there are a few kinks on
the back end that the Recreation Department staff is working out with the company to further improve
the system to meet our needs.
2020 BUDGET REQUEST:
Detailed estimates of the anticipated 2020 expenditures and revenues was reviewed and submitted to
the Town Clerk.
RECREATION DEPARTMENT DEPOSITS & EXPENDITURES: Following are copies of our monthly
bank statement. Please note that any withdrawals on the bank statement are program refunds for
those participants who paid with a credit card.
Sincerely,
Janet Douglass
Recreation Supervisor
