The only new expense in the budget for the Department of Parks and Recreation is hiring a team of 5 exterminators and 3 support staff in Brooklyn.
- This new exterminator team aims to help address the mayor's goal of keeping parks well-maintained and clean across the city.
- The Commissioner states they will rely on existing staff and hire 3000 seasonal workers to support core operations during summer months.
- She believes the seasonal hiring, along with existing staff, will enable them to meet their core mission of maintaining clean parks.
