Summer Kids Camp

Brett Kaschinkse, Manager of Leisure Services, stated this evening Michigan Recreation and Park Associationrecognizing through their community service awards Cooley for Kids Program, which is Cooley Law School asponsor for the summer. kids camp trip to the Lansing Lugnuts; also MSU 4-H Extension for their work with Lanyouth.

Brett Kaschinke stated in the Board packet was a proposal for changes to the Kids Camp Summer Program for2010. This proposal changes playgrounds from 15 sites throughout the city, not including the community cente4 sites this summer by bussing from old sites to the 4 schools proposed. Kaschinske stated Carrier requested thuse of Wainwright instead of Woodcreek. The Lansing School District (LSD) is looking at going to four ten hodays and they would not be open on Friday's for us to be at 15 schools. Our proposal was to go to the 4 schoolsand be open all five days.

Dusty Fancher reiterated the proposal is to have 4 sites, bus kids in and be open Monday through Friday with band after care. Fancher asked if the bussing is just for the main program or will there be several timesthe busses will run. Kaschinske stated the bussing would be for the main program and parents would beresponsible for transportation for drop off and pick up for the before and after care.

Dusty Fancher stated we are talking about children age 5 to 12 and she has concerns about the younger childre

being dropped off at the bus stop and if a parent is not there to pick them up. Kaschinske stated in the past whe

8/9/2019 Council Packet 2010-04-26

PARK BOARD MINUTES - MARCH 10, 2010 PAGE 2

we had a grant for extended camp we had a staff person ride the bus. Carrier stated the school districts policy isthat if the child is kindergarten or younger the parent has to be there. Fancher inquired if it is not a parent picking upthe child, would there be a list of who may pickup the child. Kaschinske stated yes, there is currently a release formused for open recreation listing who children may be released to.

Luke Canfora inquired what busses would be used. Kaschinske stated they are Lansing School District (LSD)busses. It is a competitive bid and the only time we do not use LSD busses is when there is a special need and

LSD contracts with Dean Transportation.

Paul Carrier inquired if this proposal is a one time pick up. Kaschinske stated yes.

Dusty Fancher inquired if there is going to be a policy for children under the age of 7 to ensure they will not be left ata bus stop to early. Kaschinske stated we already have that issue where parents drop children off and tell them towait until the program opens.

Brett Kaschinske stated we have known the program has been used as "day care" even though it is a drop-inprogram. We are now going to be a licensed day camp and the changes reflect this with the before and after care.The kids camp program was free before, now there will be fees attached to this program.

Brett Kaschinske provided comparisons from other communities ie: YMCA charges $112 a week for members. PaulCarrier inquired about scholarships to offset the cost. Brett Kaschinske stated we do offer scholarships; however itis only $40 per term, per child.

Luke Canfora inquired about staffing and what are these positions and if staff are from the area or if staff are collegestudents. Brett Kaschinske stated this is our TEA (temporary employment agreement) staff that we hire for thesummer. They are mostly college students who are from the area or are local college students. We also haveretirees, adults and teachers who want summer work.

Pat Murray stated he was in shock when he saw this plan. He was shocked in the past when the program wentdown to 15 sites. In his area of Moores Park the majority of kids walked to Moores Park before it was shut downand they did not arrive until around 11 a.m. and they will not make the 8:15 a.m. bus. The kids who need thisprogram the most can not afford $50 a week.

Paul Carrier inquired if this wasn't the same issue in last year's budget and didn't the board agree to reallocatemoney to keep all the sites open. Is there somewhere to take money from and place back into the summer campprogram.

Brett Kaschinske stated in last year's budget $132,000 was spent on the kids' camp/playground summer program.Paul Carrier stated when you look at last year's budget it was being based on the kids that participated and the waythe 2010 summer program is structured and the reasons that have been outlined this evening, the numbers will notbe as high at the original sites because the kids stay up to late to make the bus.

Brett Kaschinske stated it is fully understood the number of kids will not be the same as they have been in the past.

Dusty Fancher reiterated last year the city spent $132,000 on kids' camps, so why is there a charge for this year. Iflast year the camps ran for free and the money was budgeted for kids' camps this year, why is there a charge toserve fewer kids? Dusty Fancher stated she will not support this; the mission of the kids' camps is to be free.

Paul Carrier is concerned with the early bus pick up and would like to consider regionalizing the bus pick-ups towhere the kids that are utilizing the programs and have multiple pick-ups.

Brett Kaschinske clarified Parks is not trying to make money on this program. Even with the charges, it is anestimated $43,000 loss.

Pat Murray stated he understands fewer locations as he has witnessed sites with very few kids and all different agesand there is an advantage to have larger sites, but there has to be a zero option for those who can not pay and asecond pick up at noon.

Dusty Fancher stated she does not have a problem with fees for the before and after care, but the main programhas to be free. Brett Kaschinske stated he is not sure if before and after care can be provided if it cannot pay foritself.

Paul Carrier stated the Lansing School District completes the free and reduced lunch list and it is thoroughlychecked out by staff and people fall within a formula to determine their co-payment. What we offer to the publicneeds to be accessible to everyone.

Brett Kaschinske stated it is his charge to somehow make money and if he does not he has to make cuts and thatbecomes tough to do.

Brett Kaschinske stated the LSD will not be open five days as they are cutting back to four ten-hour days, but theyhad agreed to open it up for five days at the 4 schools listed for a charge of $1,000 per site, $4,000 total.

Murdock Jemerson stated our dilemma is what happened last year and people are looking at us as daycare. Weneed to have some way to offer a program that people will not look at us as day care, but as recreation whereneighborhood kids could walk to, play and leave when they are ready.

Pat Murray asked if there is a cost to running this new program that is different than the cost of running the previousprogram. Brett Kaschinske stated it is the cost of transportation. Pat Murray clarified the only transportation wewere providing in the past was for field trips.

Lujo Luke Canfora inquired what the attendance was for the pools for the summer. Paul Carrier inquired if therecould be a small charge for the pool.

Brett Kaschinske asked the Board members for another proposal with a sliding scale, if the Board wants no fees healso needs to hear this.
