REPORT BY RECREATION COMMISSIONER Operations and Service Receptionist Schedule Mr. DiSalvo began his report explaining the new Rec Center Operations and Service Receptionist Schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The times the programs begin, the times the Rec Center opens and the times the Receptionist should be here for the summer months are indicated on the schedule. The schedule will remain the same until September, when the doors will open at 5:00 a.m., with one exception. The weekends will host group hockey, and swimming will not open at 7:00 a.m. Instead of a receptionist, there will be a building supervisor opening up. Ms. Hayes commented that the only actual program start time is 5:30 for the rink. Mr. DiSalvo stated that the schedule will begin on Monday, June 16, because the current staff is scheduled until mid-June. There are 13 cashiers on payroll now. With the new schedule, there will be six cashiers through scheduling longer shifts and better coordination. Mr. Gareau asked if the remaining cashiers left or were reallocated within the facility. Mr. DiSalvo responded that, with the exception of one, everyone understood what was going to happen since a meeting in March. There was an ad put into the Sun, to which 30 people or so replied. The people that are being hired are retired; they have income; and they have the background for it. All of them have 15 or 20 years' service experience, e.g., with the airlines or banks, and they are all pleasant people. Ms. Jones asked how many people were let go. The Commissioner said that seven people were. Of the seven, four worked one day a month to stay on payroll, which was a nightmare for scheduling because it was taking days or hours away from the people who could work. Mr. Gareau stated that this will cost more money for more hours, and Mr. Baxter
