RE UEST:

PROPOSED FUNDING:
Parks & Recreation Proprietary Fund
OVERVIEW:
Oakland County Parks and Recreation operations are supported by more than 650 seasonal and part-time employee
positions. More than 200 of these positions remained unfilled throughout the 2021 season despite extensive efforts
to attract candidates; and labor shortages during the 2021 season had a major impact on operations throughout the
park system, resulting in the reduction of park services and recreation programs. Lack of adequate lifeguard staff
resulted in the closure of the Waterford Oaks Waterpark for the entire season and reduced operations at the Red
Oaks Waterpark. Lack of adequate staff to support recreation programming resulted in reduced mobile recreation
and nature education services. The shortage of lifeguard applicants has resulted in increased competition from
public pools and waterparks to attract staff. Therefore, Oakland County Parks and Recreation has requested an
increase in salary grade for the classifications of Lifeguard and Parks & Recreation Program Leader to support
ongoing efforts to recruit and retain quality staff for the upcoming 2022 season.
COUNTY EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Recommended as Requested.
