County Recreation

Division Overview
The Recreation Department’s main goal is to create community through people, parks, and programs. We oversee the following programs but are always looking to expand to meet current and future community needs:
- Pools: Lifeguards provide swimming lessons, lap swim, aquatic fitness, pool rentals, family nights and recreation swim
- Tiny Tots: Tiny Tot staff provides a pre-school/transitional kindergarten structured program year-around
- Recreational Programs: Recreation leaders provide day camps for children to have a safe place to play and meet new friends while their parents are at work
- Hall Rentals: Recreation staff receives, schedules, coordinates and processes all facility rentals for County owned halls and rooms
- Sports and cultural classes: Recreation Department coordinates and contracts with instructors to provide sports and cultural classes
Allocated Positions by Year
Adopted Budget By Year
* Each department is part of a "Fund". Many times, a department or even a fund may show greater expense then revenues for the current fiscal year. This does not account for money that was not spent in prior years, also known as "beginning fund balance". When creating the annual budget Counties are required by law to adopt a balanced budget, meaning the total expense cannot exceed the sum of revenue plus beginning fund balances.
Top Departmental Concerns
- Staff retention
- Inability to provide programs due to a lack of facilities available and/or affordable
