The City of Pocatello
is a Safe Place.
Where kids get help fast. Sponsored by the Bannock County Youth Foundation.
 
Every year city departments are required to present a performance report to the Mayor, City Council and citizen stakeholders (Service Level Report). Under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer, the departments discuss their mission, financial inputs, workload outputs, measures of efficiency & effectiveness (including comparisons to other cities & industry norms), results and their issues and concerns for the future.


OUTDOOR RECREATION PROGRAM


The outdoor recreation program is dedicated to providing quality adventure programs to Pocatello folks that might not have access to them otherwise. To keep costs minimal expect to pitch in- these are NOT guided activities. Teaching skills so people can branch out on their own is a top priority. Fitness level is not as important as motivation, try to break out of your shell. Because of the nature of the programs many are limited in group size to a handful so the instructors can help everyone. Other programs are limited by vehicle capacity, equipment restrictions or logistics. Sign up in advance to ensure a spot. Questions are expected and welcome. Contact Lance: lclark@pocatello.us or 234-6237. He is often on a river or mountain, so be patient and don't wait until the last minute.
