fall. We had been in contact with Cape Cod Community College, but do to lack of communication, the program never got off the ground. Kim Whitney said that the Community College is totally being utilized on Saturdays. A lot of colleges would like to have access to the Cape area. For example, Curry college is looking for something on the Cape. Robert Whritenour will go over the following: 1. Expand Adult Education portion of what we are doing. 2. Expand instructors and participate in Job Fair. 3. Expand supervision that Leisure Services provides, especially during the 3:00 - 6:00 PM time -frame and continue communicating with principals. Need regular mechanism to do this. Robert Whritenour would like to see this Committee work on programs and not complaint issues. Would like to see it move up to a different plateau. Set up curriculum, target advertising directly with particular program and do a needs assessment and target it for that. Robert Whritenour would like to write those issues down and submit letter to School Committee and Board of Selectmen. Pat Riley thinks that part of the problem is the time the department spends on scheduling. Gus Frederick explained that the budget was approved which includes an increase of a part-time individual for 19 -hour per week position. This position should be flexible, but he would like to see this person working over at our office at the school from approximately 4:00 - 9:00 PM. Scheduling could take place therewith communication to our office. Sheila Arnold wanted to know how this person would be able to take care of signing up for classes. Gus Frederick said that someone would still have to be in the building if there were activities going on in the gym. We try to budget that in our program allocation. Ken Marsters suggested that we hire someone with flexibility. Gus Frederick mentioned that if we bring someone in it would be for July. Perhaps we could switch phones to ring over at the school in the evening. Terrie Cook had concerns regarding cancellations. The supervisor in the evening can check in instructors or they could sign in. Terrie Cook asked to make sure that the principals, Gus Frederick, and Facilities Supervisor try to make sure there are no cleaning problems. Terrie Cook wanted to know if all the programs are approved for the summer. Gus Frederick mentioned that Niki Mills and Mike DiMaggio wanted to run a one week camp, but this still needs to be discussed with principal. Robert Whritenour mentioned that the principals have been good at resolving issues that may come up. Terrie Cook said that sometimes we forget that the principals
