LAKELAND MAYOR SCOTT CARMICHAEL ADVISED OF RECERTIFICATION OF LAKELAND PARKS AND RECREATION PROGRAM

Lakeland Parks & Recreation Department Awarded Tier I Benchmarking Status  


Lakeland Mayor Scott Carmichael was recently advised by the the Tennessee Parks and Recreation Benchmarking Program that the the Lakeland Parks and Recreation Program Tier I Benchmarking Status was successfully renewed.    

Executive Coordinator Thad Jablonski successfully applied for recertification for Tier I Level Benchmarking status, which recognizes the ongoing achievements in recreation/leisure services and by demonstrating compliance among a range of benchmarked performance standards.  Retired Parks and Recreation Director Brenda Lockhart successfully prepared the original certification. 

In announcing the recertification, Mayor Carmichael recognized the efforts of Thad Jablonski and Brenda Lockhart in this significant achievement for  the Lakeland Parks and Recreation Program. 


The Tier I Benchmarked status will allow the City of Lakeland to streamline grant applications in upcoming grant cycles as well as earn additional points during scoring of grant proposals.  The recertification is in effect for five years, the certificate valid until June 2018.
