In response to a question from Commissioner Buddingh, City Manager Sandoval stated the
budget savings as a result of merging the Librazy and Recreation Departments was essentially the
difference between the salaries of the Director of Recreation and the Assistant Director of
Recreation hired. He also confirmed there were one-time costs, including the severance package
for the departing Director of Recreation and stated that it could not be confirmed at that time
whether there would be impacts to grant revenue.
Mayor Cox stated members of the Friends of the Library and Parks and Recreation, as well as the
departments' commissions had expressed opposition to the merging of the two departments. She
stated that an item would be considered by the City Council in 2013 to re-separate the
departments; however funding to do so could not be allocated until the next budget yeaz.
Councilmember Bensoussan clarified that the order of the events was that the Director of
Recreation position was eliminated at one meeting and then at a subsequent meeting, the
Assistant Director of Recreation was added and further that the merge was to be a trial merge for
a period of time to evaluate the outcome of merging the departments.
City Manager Sandoval confirmed Councilmember Bensoussan's statements. He also stated that
during the trial period, staff was to evaluate opportunities for the Recreation and Librazy
Departments to collaborate. That report would be made available to Council in 20] 3 and should
any structural changes be made, they would take effect in the new budget yeaz.
Councilmember Bensoussan spoke in support of providing adequate opportunities for input from
commissioners and members of the public on such issues before they are brought before Council.
She also stated she supported the idea of the departments collaborating on providing services.
Director of Public Works Hopkins provided an example of collaboration between the
Engineering and Police Departments to provide services to residents.
Commissioner Buddingh stated he felt the Commission did need to keep an open mind on how to
provide services with the reduction in budget and also spoke in support of the Commission being
consulted and permitted to provide input prior to decisions being made.
Commissioner Gazza thanked the Council, Commission, staff, and members of the public for
being present at the meeting. He stated that he understood the role of the Council in running the
City. He also expressed concern with the Commission not being consulted or permitted to
provide input before the deparhnents were merged.
Commissioner Boehm requested clarification on the long-term vision of the merging of the
departments. Mayor Cox responded that the Council would consider the long-term plan in
January or February 2013.
Commissioner Vogel stated that in 2011, the Commission supported the recommendation of the
City Manager to keep the Library and Recreation Deparhnents sepazate. He expressed concern
regarding the lack of notice the Commission was given when the item was discussed again in
2012.
Assistant Director of Recreation McClure introduced herself and provided information on her
background and education.
Page 2 ~ Council Workshop Minutes ~ ~ ~ I ,Z November 29, 2012
Councilmember Ramirez addressed the concerns regarding the Commission not being consulted
prior to the decision being made to merge the departments. He encouraged the Commission to
view the situation as an opportunity and stated its input and ideas were vital to continuing to
provide public services. He stated he would support retaining all savings and additional revenue
in the departments to fund services.
Vice Chair Gerace recognized the value and experience of the Commissioners and expressed the
Commission's desire to provide input and requested information on the formal process for it to
provide feedback.
Commissioner Buddingh suggested that the City consider partnering with the Chula Vista
Elementary School District to allow joint use of playgrounds and school facilities. Mayor Cox
responded with the existing structure in place for joint use. City Attorney Googins provided
additional information on legal considerations.
Commissioner Scott requested additional information on the reasons behind consolidation of the
departments. In response, Mayor Cox stated that the merge was not the recommendation of the
City Manager, but instead was the decision of a majority of the Council.
Councilmember Ramirez encouraged the Commission to gain an understanding of both the
Library and Recreation departments, existing and potential sources of funding, and explore
opportunities for collaboration.
Councilmember Bensoussan stated she did not support the merging of the departments and that
the Council had not established along-term vision for the consolidation. She stated before
additional changes are implemented, she would like to consider input from the Commission.
Commissioner Vogel thanked the Council for meeting with the Commission. He expressed
concern with past increases in fees not being retained in the Recreation Department's programs.
City Manager Sandoval stated that the Recreation Department is not self-funded and that a
collaboration of City and nonprofit services and funding provide recreation services throughout
the City. He stated that staff would solicit information from the Commission prior to taking an
item to the Council.
Commissioner Vogel spoke in support of reinstating the park ranger positions and key after-
school hours.
Commissioner Garza spoke in support of consulting the Commissioners and the community prior
to making major decisions regarding City services.
Mayor Cox stated the Commission would be informed when an item regarding Recreation and
Library Departments would be considered by Council via the Commission's staff liaisons.
Councilmember Ramirez encouraged the Commission to determine its priorities and work with
staff to ensure those items are on the agenda.
Mayor Cox recognized the quality of City staff and encouraged the Commission to work with
them.
