RECREATION DEPARTMENT
MONTHLY REPORT: FEBRUARY 2013
DEPARTMENT HEAD MEETING: was held on Thursday, February 14 at
town hall. Numerous topics were discussed in an ongoing effort to keep
department heads appraised of the various happenings within the town.
2013 BEACH SEASON: Preparations are underway to ensure adequate
coverage for this summer. Applications will be mailed out to last year's beach
attendants, beach managers, lifeguards, playground instructors, and swimming
instructors who performed their jobs satisfactorily enough to warrant an invitation
to work for the town once again this year. Once all applications are received
(deadline is Friday, April 5), it will be determined if any additional personnel are
needed. Interviews will then be scheduled as needed.
PARKS~ BEACHES~ & RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING: was
held on Wednesday, February 20 at the annex. Numerous topics were discussed
including field usage guidelines and updating the application; use of Strawberry
Fields for parking for an upcoming bike ride; signage at town beaches; dogs on
beaches with lifeguards; the ADA playground at Tasker Park and numerous other
topics.
SPRING 2013 BROCHURE: The brochure will be an insert in the March 7th
edition of the Suffolk Times. We are now offering not only more recreation
programs, but are also expanding our adult education program offerings. The
majority of my time this month was spent working on our spring brochure. This
is extremely time consuming as it involves a great deal of preparation,
communication, and paperwork.
SUMMER 2013 BROCHURE: Work has already begun on preparing the
summer programs and activities. There is a short period between spring and
summer registration dates as residents are trying to plan their summer schedule.
The summer brochure will be an insert in the Thursday, May 16 edition of The
Suffolk Times.
Respectfully Submitted,
Ken Reeves
Recreation Supervisor
