The Department manages a budget of $8.3 million and 22.6 FTE’s in addition to numerous temporary and seasonal staff. The Department oversees several functional areas, including administration, recreation, Heritage and Cultural Arts, and Facilities (i.e. Shannon Community Center, Senior Center, Heritage Park & Museums, The Wave at Emerald Glen Park, and the Stager Community Gym). The Heritage and Cultural Arts division coordinates programs and facilities relating to historical preservation, art, and culture and supports the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission and the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums, a 10-acre park with historic buildings, a historic cemetery, and picnic areas. The Human Services function administers Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Human Services Grant programs and works closely with local and regional agencies. Departmental Staff also act as a liaison to the Parks and Community Services Commission, the Senior Center Advisory Committee, the Youth Advisory Committee, and the Human Services Commission.
