This position will provide support to the teen program and is critical to ensuring a structured, engaging, and secure environment for the growing number of teens participating in these popular evening programs. This position directly aligns with the Multicultural Family Center's commitment to empowering youth, reducing barriers to enrichment opportunities, and fostering community engagement. By hiring a dedicated Teen Night Supervisor, we can ensure high- quality programming that supports the social, emotional, and cultural growth of teens while maintaining a safe and well-organized environment. Attendance for the teen programs has increased, but due to a lack of staff support, was not able to remain sustainable. This position would support and sustain a more significant number of teens for programming. This request support the City Council Financially Responsible, High-Performance City Organization. Creating an additional position will help support the growing demand and participation in the teen program. Related Cost:$ 40,197 Tax Funds Recurring Recommend - No Net Cost:$ 40,197 3 Page 824 of 1178 Property Tax Impact:$ 0.0158 0.38% Activity: Administration Significant Line Items Employee Expense 1.FY 2026 employee expense reflects a 3.00% wage package increase. 2.The Iowa Public Employee Retirement System (IPERS) City contribution of 9.44% is unchanged from FY 2025. The employee contribution of 6.29% is unchanged from FY 2025. 3.The City portion of health insurance expense is unchanged from $1,119 in FY 2025 to $1,119 in FY 2026 per month, per contract, which results in the annual cost being unchanged of $— or 0.0%. 4.Two part-time Receptionist positions in the Parks and Recreation Department (0.48 FTE total) have historically been budgeted in the Multicultural Family Center budget, as the Multicultural Family Center was formerly a division of the Parks and Recreation Department. Due to an organizational restructure during FY 2025, the Multicultural Family Center became a division of the Community Impact Department and is no longer tied to the Parks and Recreation Department. As a result, the part-time Parks and Recreation Department Receptionists were moved from the Multicultural Family Center budget to the Recreation Division budget during FY 2025. Supplies & Services 5.Utilities Expense for the Multicultural Family Center decreased from $31,483 in FY 2025 to $31,003 in FY 2026. The FY 2026 budget is based on FY 2024 actuals of $26,075 plus projected cost increases for utilities. The expenses in this line item are paid out of the Engineering Department operating budget. FY 2026 includes electricity expense ($27,544), gas expense ($3,028), and stormwater expense ($431). 6.Property Insurance/Maintenance for the Multicultural Family Center decreased from $63,888 in FY 2025 to $37,168 in FY 2026. The FY 2024 actual was $27,519. In FY 2026, Property Insurance increased $248 while Maintenance decreased $26,968.

The FY 2025 property budget for the MFC was an estimate based on the best information available at the time. The FY 2024 actuals were lower than the FY 2025 budget, therefore, the budget is being reduced in FY 2026. This maintenance funding allows for a proactive strategy that maintains and replaces aged components, as opposed to a reactive strategy that only replaces components that have failed. 4 Page 825 of 1178 7.Payments to Other Agency increased from $16,000 in FY 2025 to $29,000 in FY 2026.
