The San
Antonio Parks and Recreation Department participates in a program to provide meaningful
work to individuals who have been assigned community service/restitution hours by a court
or probation official. In turn, the hours served by community service workers provide a
labor source which assists the Department in maintaining parks or other City property in a
condition which benefits all of the community. These specifications explain the program
and its procedures.
The Department of Parks
and Recreation will provide:
1.
City staff who will:
a. coordinate the
assignment of workers to various work sites throughout the City,
b. research any
questions regarding hours worked by client,
c. report any problems
or concerns to the proper referring agency,
d. verify hours worked
before signing an authorization form,
e. maintain records
regarding client and hours worked,
f. prepare
reports, as needed, regarding hours served by a particular client, clients from a
particular court, probation officer, etc.,
g. screen clients for
possible health or physical fitness concerns prior to assignment to a work site.
2.
A work site which will provide meaningful service to the community and to the City’s
effort to maintain public property in good condition;
3.
Supervision of clients during the course of their service hours, including proper
identification of clients prior to beginning the work assignment;
4.
Immediate transportation to a medical facility in case of a medical emergency during a
client’s performance of hours. The City Parks and Recreation Department
requires from the client or referral agency:
1.

number, case number, hours assigned, court date, completion due date, offense, any health
or physical limitations that may affect the client’s ability to perform community
