development, community outreach and oollaboratlon, innovatlva
recroadon programs, and the need to develop resources and identify best
practices in accessible recreation senrlces. Creating a ful{ time position
increases consistency and accowitablllry, aNows time for program

talent.
The current half time position is on-call during limited hours of the
afternoon and evenings. This Is for individual problem solving and
intervention only. Minimal awareness training has been conducted for the
Summer Fun staff. This is not acceptable.

Re Bill 26 -Corrected Summary Worksheet
Dear Chairman Arakakt and Members of the Council
On February 1, 2001, I transmuted a Draft 2 of Bill 26, correcting the amount to be
appropriated in the capital projects fund to cover the federal share of FEMA flood disaster
projects Upon review of my files, I discovered that the summary sheet submitted with the
second draft was incorrect
Enclosed is a corrected summary sheet for your information The totals on this sheet
correspond with the amounts shown on the detail listing of projects that was submitted with
the first draft of this bill
I apologize for the tnconventence, and will be happy to answer any questions when tlus matter
is considered by the council
