‘The budget for Yale New Haven Health- Health at Home- Southeast (YNHH-HAH- Southeast) service is divided in two
programs: clinic services and health promotion/indigent care. The hourly charge is $90.00. This is an increase of $2.85 per
clinic hour (3%). ‘The home health skilled visit charge is $180 per nursing visit.. We had to increase our rates as we are bound
t6 collective bargaining agreements for out RN staff. Salaries and benefits have increased and are projected to increase again
in the coming year. Salary and benefit inoreases were necessary due to the national nursing shortage healthoaré continues to
experience,
YNHH-HAH Southeast is committed to providing healthcare services to the town at an appropriate level. Any reduction
of the budget below the current level will result in fewer services to the residents. A reduction in services would be a
decision made by Waterford's governing body.
The agency is a state-licensed, Medicare-certified, home care organization, YNHH- HAH Southeast underwent a
reporting structure change. YNHH-HAH- Southeast reports to Yale New Haven Health System rather than Lawrence
‘and Memorial Corporation. :
dndigent Care/Health Promotion
YNHH-HAH-Southeast has beer holding blood pressure clinics at the Waterford AHEPA and the Community Centér to
promote wellness in the Waterford Community. We have also been holding foot clinics.
Home visits to residents at risk for handicapping conditions or hospitalizations are made under consultation with
the family physician. A plan is established to-assist the resident to remain safely at home,
Home healthcare services including nursing, therapies, home health aide and social workers are provided under a-plan of care
when the resident is uninsured or underinsured and meets the financial criteria for free or subsidized care.
There is a continued need for assistance with ware for those who are struggling to stay independent at home. The need for free
care has reduced in the past few years due to the greater use of CT expanded Medicaid. At this time it is unknown whether the
expansion will continue,

1000 Series PERSONNEL
fe“ Funds requested under this section are used to pay personnel for the operational aspects of
our department. Instrumental factors to arriving at these figures are union collective
bargaining agreements (GGA and 1303), minimum wage laws, and the approved
Seasonal/Occasional and Enrichment Instructor wage schedules.
¢ The positions and wages are broken down for clarification in the workbook,
+ Overtime hours have a “known” quantity for trash and bathroom overtime responsibilities,
however, numbers are approximate due to dynamic weather patterns. Snow storm work is
estimated. There are times when work must be done on weekends to avoid conflicts with
users of facilities (work to be performed around active parking lots, while school is in
session, etc.) .
“ Fringe benefits and FICA are all correlated to contracts and state standards.
, Line Detail Breakdown: Increase of %3.80 or $46,096
; e Personnel is 83% of the Recreation and Parks budget due to services and programs
administered. It should also be noted that 84% of the one hundred and twenty-eight
(128) employees staffed by the R&P Department are Waterford residents.
e Our department has been operating with a staffing deficit, leading to overworked personnel
and reduced service quality. To maintain the high standards our community expects, we
must bring staffing levels up to the appropriate benchmarks. Adequate staffing will ensure:
o improvements and Expansion: Ability to offer a wider variety of programs to meet
the growing interests and needs of residents. Developing sponsorship procedures to
eliminate operational/special event costs, increased demand for concert series
activity, returned the booklet production to in-house,
o ‘Safety and Supervision: Improved supervision and safety measures during events
and daily operations.
o The increasing participation in youth sport leagues necessitates improved
coordination and supervision. This involves:
= Program Management: Ensuring schedules, resources, and facilities are
efficiently managed to support the growing number of participants.
= Safety and Oversight: Providing adequate supervision to ensure the safety
and well-being of young athletes.

While Fleet Management handles vehicle and equipment purchases, the funding for items under
$10,000 fall under department's operating budgets. Although this is an increase to our operating
budget, the Fleet Management budget is allowed to decrease and an overall savings of $2,000 was
achieved. Attachments are sought after to establish savings replacing annual rental costs. The new
Ventrac system allows for a variety of use and can perform just about any task with the right
attachment. As we begin to replace our fleet of lawn mowers with multi-purpose equipment, we
will also be able to improve efficiency and output. We currently rent trenching equipment for major

Considerations and Justifications;
Please review our annual report and data metrics for specific ways that Waterford R&P is defining
our initiatives and planning for future generations.
In conclusion, this budget increase is not merely an expenditure but an investment in our
community's well-being and quality of life. By addressing staffing shortages, rising material costs,
equipment needs, and infrastructure demands, we can ensure that our parks and recreation
facilities continue to serve as valuable community assets, Your support for this budget increase will
enable us to maintain high service standards and meet the evolving needs of our residents.
Budget Summary:
Cuts Implemented:
- Reduced Aquatic Director hours to better reflect position demand ($10,712)
- Decreased aquatic hours as current use of pool does not justify costs associated. Plans to
re-structure in FY'26 .
Notable Increase Requests:
- Full Time administrator ~ $55,000
- Operational expenses for Aquatics and Beaches — varies, competitive lifeguard pay
- Equipment rental - $3,970
- Waterline project - $2,900
- Materials (clay, mulch, etc.) - $21,988
- Seed Aerator - $8k — but removed from Fleet
The personnel budget lines constitute 83% of our total budget. For the past three-plus years, our
department has been requested to maintain a 0% increase in budget. With mandated increases in
minimum wage, union contracts, and cost of living adjustments, the only feasible cuts have been
from materials, programs, and equipment.

Budget/Financial Challenges and Operating Constraints:
A significant component of our budget is allocated to providing appropriate services and
supervision for the aquatics operations at the high school pool. This includes:
¢ Aquatics Programs: Offering a diverse range of swimming and water-based activities for
all age groups. ,
* Safety Measures: Ensuring lifeguards and instructors are properly trained and equipped to
maintain a safe environment.
Operating aquatics programs at the high schoo! pool presents unique financial challenges due to
the lack of resident participation. Despite offering a range of swimming and water-based activities,
the number of residents utilizing these programs has been lower than anticipated. This has made it
difficult to justify the costs associated with lifeguard staffing, facility maintenance, and program
supplies. These financial constraints are a significant factor in our request fora budget increase to
ensure we can continue providing these essential services to the community
Despite these constraints, we have managed to separate programs and special events from the
operating budget into a special revenue account to minimize the financial burden on residents.
Introduced Special Revenue Account: This resulted In removal of $100,000+ from the operating
Program line 10137-52380. Request in 2021 v $6,564 in FY'25
Sponsorships: Creating opportunities for-businesses and individuals to sponsor community events
such as the Summer Concert Series, Pear] Harbor Road Race, Harvest Festival, etc. which provides a
savings of over $30,000 to the Waterford residents.
Leveraging technology: Developing data capture for operations in field painting and leaf
collection. We are hoping to realize paint savings in FY‘2027, leaf operation improvements w
equipment hoping to realize time-savings. Staff is able to take-on more tasks and responsibilities
in-house which eliminates thé need to contract out.
Moved Booklet Production In-House: This allows for most current content and information as we
have the control of delivery and production. Mailing costs remain the same and ads are available
for local businesses to help support the cost of printing and production.

1. Increased Participation:
o Asurge in community participation in recreational programs has been observed,
indicating a growing demand for services. However, the current staffing levels are
insufficient to manage the increased workload effectively.
2. Expanded Program Offerings:
o The expansion of programs has necessitated additional staff to design, implement,
and oversee these activities. Without adequate staffing, the quality and availability
of programs may be compromised.
3. Facility Maintenance and Upgrades:
o The maintenance and upgrades of parks and recreational facilities require more
personnel to ensure timely and efficient upkeep. This is crucial to maintaining safety
standards and preserving the investment in infrastructure.
4. Community Engagement and Support:
o Increased community engagement efforts require staff to manage communication,
collect and analyze feedback, and implement necessary changes. Adequate staffing
is essential to build and maintain strong community relations.
Needs Assessment Justification for Re-Staffing:
1. Meeting Community Expectations:
o Residents expect high-quality recreational services and well-maintained facilities.
Re-staffing the department to previous levels will enable us to meet these
expectations and enhance overall satisfaction.
2, Ensuring Safety and Efficiency:
o Adequate staffing is critical to ensuring the safety of participants and the efficiency
of operations. It allows for proper supervision, timely maintenance, and effective
management of programs.
3. Sustaining Program Quality:
o The quality of our programs is directly linked to the expertise and availability of our
staff. Re-staffing will ensure we have the necessary personnel to maintain and
improve the standards of our offerings.
4. Supporting Growth and Innovation:
o As the community grows and demands evolve, we must be equipped to innovate
and expand our services. Re-staffing will provide the human resources needed to
explore new initiatives and keep up with trends.
5. Economic and Social Benefits:
o Investing in staff not only enhances service delivery but also contributes to the local
economy by creating jobs and fostering social cohesion through community-
oriented programs.

In conclusion, re-staffing the Recreation and Parks Department to previous levels is essential to
meet the demands and expectations of the town and residents. It is an investment in the
community's well-being, ensuring we continue to provide valuable recreational opportunities and
maintain the quality of life in Waterford
Municipal recreation and parks are essential for the well-being of urban communities. They provide
easy access to parks, green spaces, and recreation opportunities, which are critical to improving the
health and wellness of residents and creating a healthier physicat environment. City parks also
encourage active lifestyles and: reduce health costs.
Investing in parks and green infrastructure in cities improves resilience, drives private investment,
and helps American cities remain competitive. Parks also provide dual infrastructure benefits in
cities, addressing our greatest urban challenges from stormwater management and reducing public
health costs to economic revitalization and job growth.
Funding for these public assets is not meeting the.growing demand. Park advocates and nonprofits
play an important role in ensuring consistent funding for parks year to year.
In terms of staff, it is important to have approved funding to ensure that staff can continue to-
provide outstanding services and opportunities to the community. Staff members are responsible
for maintaining the parks and facilities, organizing events and programs, and ensuring that visitors
have a safe and enjoyable. experience:
Supplies and materials.are also essential to providing the means for successful park and facility
visits. This includes everything from playground equipment and sports fields to benches and trash
cans. Ensuring that parks and facilities are well-maintained and equipped with the necessa
supplies and materials is crucial to providing a positive experience for visitors,
