<br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />To: Parks, Recreation and Environmental Commission <br />Members <br />From: Lori Hokenson, Recreation Supervisor <br />Subject: Community Center Hours of Operation on Sunday <br />Morning <br />Date: April 5, 2017 <br /> <br />January 5, 2016 - New Brighton Parks and Recreation received member petition <br />to open the NBCC at 8:00 am on Sunday mornings. <br /> <br />January 26, 2016 – Council referred the petition requesting the hours of NBCC to <br />open at 8:00 am on Sunday to the Parks, Recreational and Environmental <br />Commission (PREC) for their review and recommendation. <br /> <br />March 2, 2016 – PREC recommended adjusting the hours on Sunday to 8:00 am <br />on a trial basis beginning October 2016 through April 2017. PREC will review the <br />hours in 2017 and make a recommendation to continue, discontinue or adjust <br />moving forward. <br /> <br />March 22, 2016 – Council approved extending the Sunday hours of operation at <br />the New Brighton Community Center (NBCC) to open to the public at 8:00 am on <br />Sundays, instead of 10:00 am, beginning in October 2016 through April of 2017. <br /> <br />Currently the NBCC sees an average of 17 members on Sunday between 8:00- <br />10:00 am. The highest peak occurred on February 26, 2017 with 35 members <br />while the lowest peak occurred on January 1, 2017 with 8 members. <br /> <br />The financial impact has been all related to staffing. Prior to opening the fitness <br />center at 8:00 am on Sunday mornings, other portions of NBCC were open for <br />use. However, staffing needed to be increased to perform tasks such as checking <br />in members, or being able to refill supplies such as paper products or cleaning <br />solution. The budget increase added $43.92/week. The 2017 budget included <br />funding for staff to open NBCC at 8:00 am every Sunday. <br />
