It is narrated by a professional and the background music and slides are excellent. This will give new commissioners an opportunity to get a general idea of the overall park system as well as serve a good review for those of you who have not had a recent update. ITEM #7 SURVEY FOR DREDGING STEWART LAKE - GROVELAND OAKS COUNTY PARK One of the projects to be included in the 1982 Capital Improvement Budget is the dredging of Stewart Lake. Sediment has built up over the years and, along with dense weed growth, is deterring proper circulation of water, as well as making swimming and boating less desirable. In order to do the engineering for this project, a survey of existing bottom conditions of the lake is required. This will enable us to determine the area required for dredging and the approximate amount of material to be removed and distributed. This survey will require the laying out of a grid and control points, boring 155 locations and taking two readings per location. Proposals were requested from the following: Facilities & Operations $4,700 - $5,000 Hartley & Assoc., P. C., *$4,200 Union Lake Kieft Engineering, Inc. $2,400 *Price includes $320 for Engineering Report. To expedite this project before the spring thaw, staff recommends retaining Kieft Engineering, Inc., for the sum of $2,400, plus $300 for any miscellaneous material or brief summaries that are required for a total project cost of $2,700.

At that time it was established, by Parks & Recreation personnel, that the Excel Hustler unit was the best equipment for the money. Also Parks has been standardizing for the past several years on Excel Hustler and already have many of their products. The prices listed below reflect the 1981 GSA contract pricing. To take advantage of the 1981 pricing, which will increase effective 1-1-82, I issued a verbal P.O. to W.F. Miller, after consulting with Mr. C. Ross of your office. W.F. Miller will not ship the mower until I issue the physical P.O. to them. This, of course, will not be done until the Parks commission gives its approval for purchase. Please note that the new G.S.A. price schedule will reflect a 7-10o increase; and, further, that there is no word as to when the contract will be let (for 1981, the schedule was not available until March). The price breakdown is as follows: 1 ea. Hustler 305D $8064.00 1 ea. 3-Way Deck #922831 1588.50 2 ea. Wide tires $ rims #358739 108.00 2 ea. Rear stack weights #042879 97.20 1 ea.

Staff concurs with their recommendation to purchase the canoes from the low bidder, Sun & Ski Marina, for a total purchase price of $1872. There is $2400 budgeted in the 1982 Operating Equipment Budget for this purchase.

As members of the community, they know of its wants and needs, and can offer sug- gestions as to how they can be met. They could serve as a useful connection between the parks system and the general public, promoting active communication between the two. Special groups such as senior citizens and handicapped persons can assist in numerous ways. Senior citizen volunteers with their work experience and contacts, for example, could possibly arrange for lectures or demonstrations in a field in which others may be interested. Handicapped volunteers also have skills that should not be underestimated. Volunteer jobs can go far beyond those that have been mentioned so far. We can draw more ideas from the activities of other volunteers throughout the country. They are serving as friendly visitors to homes and hospitals, as carpenters and repairmen, secretaries, bookkeepers, fund raisers, instructors, and in many other roles. New York has a very unique volunteer program entitled 11Operation Green Thumb", in which vacant lots are leased to residents for one dollar a year. The lots are developed into gardens, which provide low-cost food to people who need it. The gardens also serve to beautify the neighborhood, and the project is maintained and enjoyed by people of all ages. Recreation systems are limited only by their own creativity in the accomplishments they can achieve. Effective volunteers can benefit the parks in two ways: they can accomplish as well as provide creativity.

Slide Librarians 12. Playground Supervisors 13. Golf Tournament Aides 14., Boating Safety Instructors As the program grows and changes, some new positions may be added, others deleted. VOLUNTEER QUALIFICATIONS Will vary with each position. Details can be found on each job description, but general qualifications are: 1. An interest in nature and the outdoors. 2. A liking for people, and desire to communicate effectively with them. 3. To meet age requirements for each position. 4. To have own transportation. GROUP VOLUNTEER PROJECTS Merit badges or certificates may be earned by the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Eagle Scouts, etc., by completing a group volunteer project in the Parks. S The Beautification Squad/Assistan-t job description best describes what types of projects are available, which are, briefly, planting trees and flowers, replacing signs, and other ecological projects. Group leaders should contact the supervisor of the park where the project will be undertaken for further information. Group leaders must accompany their group on the project if members are under the age of 18. STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES - WORKING WITH VOLUNTEERS Volunteers are not intended to replace paid staff in their positions. They are intended to enhance the parks system by assist- ing paid staff. Job descriptions for volunteers have therefore been written keeping in mind the duties of paid staff. The staff will have access to the detailed job descriptions which indicate exactly- what the volunteers in each position will do. These job descriptions have been developed with input from park personnel, and will be revised as the need arises. Time sheets that the volunteer will fill out for his or her supervisor will be provided. They will indicate time -in, time-out, project name, and total hours worked. These time sheets will also be found at the back of the volunteer handbook, for personal record keeping. When managing volunteers, park supervisors should keep in mind that volunteers are not to be favored to the point of putting them on a pedestal. Nor should they be looked down upon, or their skills underestimated. An ideal volunteer position is a learning experience, so supervisors should feel free -to give praise for a job well done as well as advice on how to improve it. Advice on the effective J development of skills is valuable to volunteers. They are, in fact, entitled to it in return for the contribution of their time. Supervisors should encourage an open communication line with volunteers. Volunteers should feel free -to discuss any problem as well as to suggest any ideas with staff. While volunteers cannot make policy rule, they can plan together with staff to improve the program for all. Supervisors are responsible for seeing that each volunteer fills out all forms discussed in the Appointment and Release pro- cedure of this program. Familiarizing volunteers with the purpose and importance of this procedure will evoke a more positive response from volunteers as far as time sheets, evaluations, etc. are con- cerned. Supervisors are also responsible for recommending volunteers to be recognized at the annual parks banquet, in accordance with the guidelines of the commission. Supervisors may be asked to participate in other volunteer recognition activities, described on the Recognition and Retention section. A staff orientation will be conducted for the purpose of familiarizing park staff with volunteer policy and practice. It is hoped that through knowledge of the entire volunteer program the staff will be enthusiastic about the potential value of volunteers, and will make volunteers feel like a part of the group. Volunteers are motivated by the fact that they are needed, and will continue to contribute their services as long as they feel their efforts are worthwhile. PROFILE OF 1981 VOLUNTEER EFFORTS Volunteer Fact Sheet: Number of active volunteers: 87 Number of volunteers who have contributed their time: 241 Number of volunteer hours (one-year period): 2,560 hours. Number of volunteer job descriptions: 20 positions. Profile of Volunteers: - Single women with a career looking for a meaningful way to spend their leisure time. - Married women (children are full grown) wanting to contribute something to the community. - College/high school students wanting experience. - People who are thinking of a career change and want a taste of what their new career might be like. - Retired individuals with special skills, hobbies or interests.

It is hereby certified that the Board of MRPA Board of Directors adopted the motion 15 in favor, 7 absent and no abstentions. By • 4 r�s . E John F. Greenslit Executive Director RECREATIOM SERVICES DIVISION! PROGRAM BACKGROUND Reason for Initiation The following factors led Michigan to legislatively mandate a state recreation services agency: Nationwide Trends o Growing interest in and support for recreation during the 50's and 60's. o Rising number of park and recreation personnel, recreation departments and communities reporting park properties_ o The nationwide policy change from preservation of land for aesthetics to multiple -use land management concepts. MRPA o The Michigan Recreation and Park Association began in 1935 and through the years expanded and broadened its scope of activities. In the early 1950's this organization encouraged legislation for a state recreation _services agency to assist the growing Michigan local recreation system. Technical Assistance o- The Cooperative Extension Service, the National Recreation and Park Association and a variety of other organizations including t4io state government agencies, attempted to respond to the growing demand for recreation advise and assistance. The Department of Conservation's :.division of Game and Fish provided limited technical assistance before Recreation Services Division was created. However, the division's limited"their involvement to hunting and fishing, and few people knew assistance was available. o_:The Division of State Parks and Recreation existed, but -its primary function, as it still is today, was "to acquire, maintain and make available for the use of the public open spaces (land and water) for recreation." Program History The growing needs of parks and recreation agencies, the limited scope of technical assistance provided by existing organizations and NRPA's belief that recreation needed state level recognition and support, prompted the grassroots efforts to create the Recreation Services Division. The Mlichigan Recreation and Park Association (MRPA), supported by the United Auto Workers and key officials from the Department of Conservation (nor the (continued on reverse side) -2- Departir;ent of Natural Resources), developed the lectisiation and successfully lobbied for its approval. The Michigan Legislature approved Act 326 in 1965 creating the division and the Governor's Fecreation Advisory Coznittee. The division began operating in 1967 with three professionals and a secretary. Se"ices included: a On -site consultation and technical advice to local communities on subjects such as facility development, land use, orp3nization and operation of summer recreation programs, and utilization of school sites for recreation. o Statewide recreation leadership, workshops and conferences. o Assistance with development of multi -use private.outdoor recreation areas. o Interdepartmental and intradepartmental liaison services. The division grew steadily to reach its peak staffing and technical services level, between 1370 and 1976. Staff increased to include otie part-time and eight full-time people and the division chief by 1973. In order to meet the demands for additional services, staff organized into three sections. The Prograi;i Development Section provided consulting services for local rec- reation agencies or groups. The Facility Develo tn�,nt Section assisted with planning and designing local recreation facilities. 'fhe Training and Promotion Section furnished technical and consultant services to 1oca1 govern- ment on organizations, training, educational -workshops, and state and federal funding programs. The division reoro;nized to include the former Office of Planning Services and the newly created State Trails Program. This reorganization and another in 1978, along with statewide hiring freezes, and reduced budgets, resulted in a decrease of Technical Assistance staff. Excluding the division chief, staffing dropped to five and one-half in 1979. The division consolidated into its current two sections. Planning/Trails and Technical Assistance in 1979- The Technical Assistance Section had five full-time staff and one student assistant. The FY '80 budget for Technical Assistance was $134,536.40:i of the total division budget, which was $592,460.00. Services were -provided for LV:eF projects, local planning, Michigan Land Trust Fund projects, recreation programs,.facilities, and administrative structures. The section also publishes reports, conducts and participates in workshops and conferences, and coordinates all departmental programs concerned with recreation for special populations. As a result of Michigan's present econo;:�ic sitUation, division staffing was. reduced even more. The staffing for FY 31--32 will be seven Professionals and 1-1J2 clerical positions for the entire division. This reduces Technical Assistance to its lo+:i2st level since the inception of the division. The Dnvisicn's contrai tual r4snonslt)iIities to prodw_.e an u;Jdated st=te recreation, plan requires that the r:aioriity of the staff tip.te availahle +:;'ill he span, 011 planning pro;c1; rs. - (continued on page 3) 3 - DEPARTiME`1T OF 11A. 1AGLME1'4T XID BUIDGET 1982-83 Program Recommendation "Program is eliminated. At the present time President Reagan has recom- mended elimination of the Land and 14ater Conservation program which will eliminate the need for the state program except for activities associated with projects previously approved. This ongoing workload is presently handled by staff in the Office of Budget and Federal Aid. Recreation assistance to locals, if necessary, can be established within existing park staff. If the federal program is not eliminated, a revised recommendation will be made." DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 1982-83 Program Recommendation Eliminate the Division. Recreate an office, responsible.to Deputy Director Scherschligt, with 1 clerical and 4 professional positions. RECREATION SERVICES DIVISION 1982-83 Program Recommendation Maintain 1980-81 level of funding ($464,O00.00, 16.5 staff) and retain trails program. This is crucial if Michigan desires to maintain a recreation system capable of supporting increases in tourism, recreation participation and recreation assistance to local government. Benefits Gained If Program is Enhanced The benefits gained by restoring the original mandate for RSD, maintaining ..its divisional status and ensuring 1980-81 level of funding are: o Strengthen the recreation systems in the state. o Encourage the use of recreation as a means to bring Michigan on its road to economic recovery. o Introduce ways to bring state and local recreation systems more cost efficient and on the road to self-supporting status. o Research and introduce studies and legislation that will enhance the financing of recreation on the state and local level. o Strengthen the centralized recreation planning program to provide department direction to best use limited funds available. This allows alternative strategies for the department. to manage state recreation programs immediately. o Strengthen trails unit program iJ th local government -to develop programs that will i ncrea,e use of state and local trails which in. turn increase sno-a;riobile and off -road vehicle registration. (continued on reverse side, page 4) - 4 - Benefits Lost if Program is Eliminated Elimination of the program will result in the following: a Loss of assurance that recreation issues and needs will be considered and/or addressed, where appropriate, by other divisions within DNR .and other state departments. o Loss of advisory services and only source of assistance in all aspects of recreation development, planning, programming and design. This service is used by co-m-M-unity groups, private developers, con- sultants and individuals, state and local government. These recipients do not have any other source of input into the policy -making structure of state government. RSD is the only agency capable of influencing policy, formulation for the wide spectrum of recreation concerns. o There will not be an agency in Michigan whose primary concern is to promote, foster and coordinate recreation for this state'.s residents. As a result, the quality and quantity of recreation will be reduced both on the state and local level, and recreation as a priority program in Michigan may be set back significantly. 0 0 Loss of the only centralized departmentwide recreation planning function necessary for proper,decision-making. Loss of coordinating function in state government for all trail activ- ities. The general public will not have.a place to contact for general trail information because trail functions will be scattered all over state government. Trails planning and coordination will be left up to individual agencies in state government. X, 0 ' C f i M 2 Z 1 H%JUSE BILL-No.536d December 30, 1981, introduced by Reps.
