Ms. Wilson outlined the changes which have been made for summer camp 2020, in the
r
setting of the coronavirus. Camp hours of operation have decreased, previously 7:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. and now 9:00 a.m, to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The hours of
o
operation were decreased as a cost savings measure due to lower counselor/camper ratios,
as well as to accommodate end of day saaitization of the facility. Twelve children areto
enrolled in the 2020 summer camp program, with all camp activities scheduled onsite at
the Community Center. Guest speakers are included in the curriculum, however no off
o
site field trips will be done this year due to social distancing concerns during transport.

Ms. Williams noted an excellent health rate amongst the counselors and the smaller
number of campers, in contrast to the larger County summer camp programs, such as at21
the Vineyards, where six counselors have fallen ill.
Children are given temperature checks and their hands are sprayed with alcohol prior to
entering the building. Surfaces are periodically wiped down throughout the day, as well
as more intensive cleaning at the end of the day. Two counselors and two dedicated
cleaning staff members are on board for the summer program. Meal delivery for the
children has continued. A variety of activities are scheduled, including arts and crafts,
outdoor water activities, games in the gymnasium, dancercise, and WE activities. A home
room has been established where each child is assigned a desk and chair where their
personal activity items are stored. Activity rooms include the auditorium, the gymnasium,
and Room D, with various activities occurring within each room, as well as outdoor play.
Campers range in age from S to 10.

a. Budget Approval / Millage Rate 2020 O
A recommendation was being sought from the Advisory Board regarding whether the
millage rate should be increased or maintained at the current neutral rate of. 1862, with m°
property tax revenues of $456,200. Ms. Tuff inquired as to the cap amount, which was 0
uncertain. th
Ms_ Wilson noted no significant loss of income related to Covid-19, as lost revenues were
balanced by lower expenses. The proposed FY 2021 budget total is $1,535,100, with
specific increases noted in property insurance, as well as indirect costs (the largest factor
is Facilities Management, with a $17,100 increase). Ms. Tuff noted a large increase in
"other contractual services" in 2020, which was explained to be funding moved from
capital funds to operating funds for parking lot renovation. An increase in rental cost was
attributed to equipment used for work done at the BMX track. Ms. Tuff noted frustration
in defining responsibility for indirect costs specifically related to the Community Center,
in view of MSTU contribution. Mr. Bretzmann commented upon budget uncertainty
related to an extended coronavirus scenario. Ms. Wilson stated the Community Center
could operate within the current budget, as Staff has worked hard to keep expenses down.
Mr. Bretzmann entered a motion to maintain the neutral millage rate at.1862, without
an increase. Ms. Zenti seconded the motion. All members were in favor. The motion
was carried.
Ms Zenti entered a motion to approve the proposed FY2021 budget of $1,535,100 for
the Golden Gate Community Center. Mr. Bretzmann seconded the motion. All
members were in favor. The motion was carried.
