Last week, I went to a fee team meeting where Recreation Coordinators and managers discussed various options to increase revenue for the parks and recreation department. Basically, fee increases are proposed at this meeting and the peers discuss whether or not it is feesible, and if not, proposals are revised and submitted for the next fee team meeting.
The next day, I went to a Deputy Managers Meeting where multiple departments, not just parks and recreation, met to discuss current situations in their areas. It was interesting because I saw how the departments interact and are all linked in one way or another.
The last meeting I attended was an accreditation meeting. The city parks and recreation department is taking steps to become an accredited agency through the National Parks and Recreation Association. All full time staff are placed in groups to satisfy accreditation standards.

Hello fellow Glendale P&R intern! I haven't been to Fee Team meeting yet, but word on the street is that I will be going to the next one. What accreditation group did you meet with? I've been attending meetings with the customer service group. I've also gotten a peek at the risk management group info. All of the full timers at FRAC have been working hard on their accreditation assignments. It's cool to see everyone working together, but I know they'll all be relieved when it's done.
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is great! I'm sure I'll see you around!
WOW!!! Those are a lot of intense meeting and very diverse in their subject matter. I'll bet you are learning a lot from sitting in those meetings about how the City of Phoenix works. Which meeting did you have the most interest in?
