2 <br />The Town of Chapel Hill's Parks and Recreation Department <br />used a permanent, full-time position to support the New <br />Generation program as well as part time temporary staff. When <br />the permanent position became vacant, the Town of Chapel Hill <br />re-assessed how it delivers recreational and leisure <br />programming for senior citizens. <br />As a result of the assessment, the Town of Chapel Hill has <br />proposed transferring the New Generation program to Orange <br />County and contracting with the County to provide this recreation <br />and leisure programming for senior citizens in the Town through <br />the Chapel Hill and Northside Centers. <br />The attached contract between the Town and the County would <br />fully fund the program, including funding for a permanent full <br />time Senior Citizen Program Coordinator position, temporary <br />part time help as needed for special activities, equipment, and <br />office supplies. The funding amount for 1997-98 is $44,017. <br />Recommendation: The Manager recommends the Board: <br />• Approve the contract with the Town of Chapel Hill to provide <br />funding for senior recreation services. <br />• Establish a new permanent full-time Senior Citizen Program <br />Coordinator position at Salary Grade 64, subject to <br />continuation of funds from the Town of Chapel Hill. <br />\pers\elgin\classify\aging\abstract. doc <br />
