                                                    Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore


Submitted by: Kyle Karczewski, Parks and            Department: DPW- Parks
Recreation Director


Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to extend our contract with the Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon
Lakeshore for temporary staffing services during the 2026 maintenance season.

Detailed Summary & Background:
DPW typically hires up to 30 seasonal employees each year from GoodTemps (Goodwill). The staffing
provided by this agreement will take the place of an approximately equal number of our typical
seasonal employees, helping DPW fill our roster during the labor shortage and providing employment
and training for younger community members. Temporary staffing is accounted for in the annual
budget of the departments that use these services. The employees under this agreement are
included in the parks (general) fund budget.


The Boys & Girls Club anticipates providing approximately 8 staff split in two teams, and in
consultation with DPW, identified two service areas that they would be well suited for:
1. Landscape maintenance, waste-removal and general support in the BID area downtown.
2. Restroom cleaning and waste removal at various parks.

Goal/Action Item:
2027 Goal 3: Community Connection
