RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Monthly Report: August 2018
2018 SUMMER SEASONAL STAFF: A total of twenty nine lifeguards were initially hired. Due to the
limited availability of some of the staff and others leaving for college, several of the bathing beaches
were closed towards the end of the season. Further efforts will be made to increase the pool of
applicants for the 2019 season in hopes of securing staff with greater availability.
FALL BROCHURE & PROGRAMS:
The Fall Brochure was an insert in the August 9th edition of the Suffolk Times. Several of our more
popular classes sold out on the first day of registration. The new senior chair fitness classes were
well received by the community.
REGISTRATION WEBSITE UPDATE:
The current online registration system has been successful in providing residents with a method for
registering for programs from the comforts of their home. However, it is NOT mobile compatible.
Many people are relying more heavily on their cell phones and IPads to access the internet. Due to
the system not being compatible with mobile devices many registrants experience errors and
frustrations. The Recreation Department has been working closely with Lloyd, IT Department, and
the company overseeing the site to transition to an updated site that IS mobile compatible. All
existing users, approximately 3,000 people, will have to set up new accounts on the new site. We will
be launching a PR campaign in the form of email blast, press releases and notifications on the
government access channel to inform residents of the new mobile friendly site and the need to re-
establish their accounts. This will allow time for people to login and set-up their accounts on the site
prior to registering for Winter classes in November. We anticipate going "live" on this mobile friendly
site by the end of September.
BUILDING/FACILTY UPDATE:
Due to the generosity of Chris Manfredi and the assistance of the Department of Public Works, a 60"
television has been wall-mounted in the Recreation Center. The television is being used regularly for
our Senior Exercise program on Fridays. Several instructors have also expressed their intent to
utilize the television for their programming as well.
2019 BUDGET REQUEST:
Detailed estimates of the anticipated 2019 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
