She thought this would make the <br />funds go further. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood stated the position is currently set for full time but the Council has <br />recognized that they may not get full programming right away; they would need to have activities <br />scheduled and set up. <br /> <br />Vice Chairperson aIds thought this may be a flex position to begin with. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hansen wondered where their youth program will stand if they hire a full time <br />coordinator. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/July 12, 2007 <br />Page 3 of5 <br />
