Moved by Getty, seconded by Jordan that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Six. Absent: Murphy. Motion carried. The reorganization of the Parks Department and Recreation & Arts Commission was reviewed. There are three resolutions on the council agenda this evening. The first resolution abolishes the Board of Recreation and Arts Commissioners and the Board of Park Commissioners. The second resolution establishes a Leisure Services Commission and a Cultural and Arts Commission. The third resolution appoints Paul Huting as the Leisure Services Director, Cammie Scully as the Cultural and Arts Director and Tom Reardon as the Sports Commissioner. The current Park Board and Recreation Commission have reviewed the proposed changes and support the resolutions. There was a general consensus for the proposed organizational structure. Operations of Young Arena, swimming pools and sports programming currently handled by the Recreation and Arts Commission will be under the Leisure Services Commission. Leisure Services will also include the Park Commissions functions, including park mowing, forestry and the municipal golf courses. The Cultural and Arts Commission will handle the Waterloo Community Playhouse, Waterloo/Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra, Junior Art Gallery, and the Waterloo Museum of Arts. The sports offices will be moved to the Park Commissions office at Byrnes Park. It is believed the reorganization will provide the following: more efficient utilization of staff, more effective utilization of facilities, greater coordination of programs and events and ability to do long-term planning, elimination of duplication of effort, more effective utilization of budgeted funds, enhancement of the arts through a focused staff and commission, a broader perspective of the community by staff and commissions. It is believed that realignment of the responsibilities will reinvigorate both sports programming and the arts and result in a better delivery of services to the citizens of the community. Two new commissions will be established. The Leisure Services Commission will consist of nine members and the Cultural and Arts Commission will consist of seven members. Mayor Rooff will make recommendations of appointment to the commissions for council approval. New ordinances will be written to establish the new commissions. With no further business before the council, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Jordan that the meeting be adjourned at 4:20 p.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Murphy. Motion carried.
