11 Parks and Recreation (continued) In response to question regarding the permanent part- time employee proposed for the Marina, Mr. Weeks advised that it is less costly and more efficient for the City to have one permanent parttime employee than several extra people just during the summer. It was pointed out that the Marina is entirely self-supporting. In response to question regarding the large differences in total expenditures between 1972-73 and the present (Page 80) , Mr. Weeks advised that the figures do not reflect the same things, since the department was con- solidated, and should not be compared. Attention was called to the report of the City Manager of May- 28, 1975 regarding unappropriated special de- posits concerning the $5,682 .80 contributed by the San Francisco Forty-Niners and the Chamber of Commerce, noting that the $5,500 representing the 49er contribu- tion must be spent for "youth activities . " AMENDMENT TO MOTION : Councilman Norris moved, seconded by Councilman Rhodes, that the unappropriated special deposits be applied to the Police Depa ent Police (See page 34) Youth Club budget, since that Club is n4t carried by the Police Department, representing a cut of $5,682 .80. SM. L. Tepley (see above) spoke in opposition to the pro- posed amendment, remarking that the money is being spent to entertain youth. The amendment carried unanimously by voice vote . John Brophy suggested that it appears that there are too many administration personnel for the number of employees shown on page 78. It was explained that the positions listed are those of permanent employees, but that there are large numbers of parttime employees who are employed as leaders, instructors, etc . at various times and who require supervision, but are listed elsewhere with other parttime employees. City Manager Fales advised that there has been some dis- cussion concerning turning the marina over to the Port so that both would be under the same administration. Alice Ogden (see above) suggested that the marina is a recreation facility being subsidized for the pleasure of one particular group . Mayor Weymouth explained that the marina is entirely self-supporting and is operated at no cost to the taxpayer. Councilman Norris suggested that Mr. Fales might have a report prepared to include ' both full and parttime employees in the Parks and Recrea- tion Department which would make the need for supervision more evident. The motion as amended carried unanimously by roll call vote. - (The Council recessed from 10 :40 to 10 :50 a.m. ) -11- Budget Study 6/7/75
