The purpose of the special meeting will be to: 1. Review the October 21, 2003 Park and Recreation Commission investigation results and recommendation to the Council, including departmental organization and location. 2. Review the draft Park and Recreation Director job description. 3. Discuss the hiring process. 4. Select two members of the Commission to serve on the selection committee (via ballot). Department Recommendation Staffine The October 2001 report provides an overview and justification for the formation of a Park and Recreation Department. Page Seven of the report illustrates the organization of the department and notes that the Director will report to the City Administrator. This director would supervise current recreation staff and the Ice Arena and Senior Center Managers. Phil Halls, Street and Park Superintendent, has spoken with the City Manager about establishing a park maintenance crew that would report directly to the new director. The current Park Foreman and three laborers would be assigned to work only in parks. This change would likely occur in 2005, as the director is not anticipated to start until mid-2004.
