The draft Parks, Recreation, and Conservation Departmental Standard Operating Procedures Manual (SOP) is based on the principles of the Administrative Policy Manual and Indian River County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 205 — Parks and Recreation, and is intended to serve as a guide and reference for all Parks, Recreation, and Conservation Department staff. The Department SOP will provide general and universal information to employees within the Department regarding administrative and procedural methods by which the Department operates. The Department SOP, once approved by the Board of County Commissioners, will be supplemented by each Division's unique SOPs and relevant County policies to create a unified and comprehensive document by which each Division and the Department will operate thus creating clear expectations of employees and uniform operating procedures which will promote operational efficiency and exceptional customer service. Division SOPS will be presented in future meetings to the Board for review and approval. The culmination of the Department, Division and inter -departmental Policies and Procedure Manuals will be a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure Manual utilized by all employees within the Department. The final SOP will be updated, amended, and adapted as necessary to meet changing operational needs. The proposed Parks, Recreation, and Conservation Department Standard Operating Procedures Manual is attached as Exhibit B.
