Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes September 28, 2021 - Page 3 The 2022 Department Goals continued: Pool: 1 . Resume annual pool permit sales. 2. Resume a full schedule of public swim hours. 3. Expand the outdoor pool complex aquatic features to accommodate larger numbers of users, and the high volume of summer camp usage. These improvements would also attract new families to purchase a permit. Youth Programs: 1 . Continue to increase participation numbers in all youth programs. 2. Reinstate the Teen Travel Camp and Breakfast Club program. BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS: Carpino-Steffens Fields: There is no significant change regarding the Carpino- Steffens Fields except for a planned 10% increase in water rates. General Recreation: We will be looking to publish and mail out a brochure for the fall/winter season. We have added money back into the budget for this cost. Hommocks Pool: The pool expenses have been increased due to the hourly rental fee charged by the school district. Additional money has been added to the part-time salary line for the pool to stay competitive with lifeguard salaries. Hommocks Park Ice Rink: The ice rink salary line has been increased to include the transition and training time necessary with hiring a new full-time General Manager. A new full-time Operations Manager position has also been added this year. The increase to the water bill is due to the planned increased rate and consumption associated with the new locker rooms (showers, additional sinks, and toilets). The publicity line has decreased due to using more social media outlets and our website for publicity. Youth: Increases in the youth lines are based on planned increased enrollment numbers at camp adding back in the Teen Travel, and Breakfast Club programs for the 2022 season.
