City,/ Louisville Parks & Recreation Memorandum To: Recreation and Golf Advisory Board From: Kathy Martin, Recreation and Senior Services Superintendent Date: 9/23/2024 Subject: Zoom Fitness Classes Purpose: This agenda item is brought to the RAB in response to the attendance from staff and guests at the last meeting as well as emails that have been shared. As staff continues to work through and evaluate this I wanted to share a memo of findings that has been prepared as part of the review of these programs. It includes the requirements and hurdles that staff is facing to continue these offerings. The City of Louisville is actively working on a 2-year budget for 2025-2026 and the expense for the equipment and licenses to continue hybrid and Zoom only classes are not currently in the proposed budget. We understand how important these classes are to some guests but staff have to balance the ability to offer these classes in compliance with licensing requirements and present a fiscally responsible budget. Please see the attached memo for additional details and we appreciate your support as staff works through difficult budget and programming decisions but please keep in mind that that the final determination will be made in collaboration with the Director, City Manager and City Council as a part of the budget approval process. Background: Please see the attached memo for background information on this topic.
