• ,' Cit of Elk River MEMORANDUM TO: Michele McPherson, Director of Planning FROM: Personnel Committee - Sandy Peine, Dave Potvin, Bruce West, Lori Johnson DATE: - April 5, 2002 SUBJECT: Park and Recreation Director As requested, the Personnel Committee has reviewed the proposed Park and Recreation Director position to determine its placement in the City's pay structure. The Committee's review was based on the proposed position description and the assumption that the Park and Recreation Director will have responsibility for all aspects of the City's park and 1111 recreation programs including park maintenance and planning as well as direct oversight of the recreation, ice arena, and senior citizen departments. Minimum requirements for this position include a bachelor's degree in a related field and five years of demonstrated experience. Data from other cities was also used to determine where this position should fit into the City's pay plan. Based on the above information, the Committee recommends that this position fall in pay grade 7E (currently$50,494.83 to $66,447.75 per year). Consistent with past practice, the Committee did not assign a point value and recommends that the position be reviewed within one year of being filled. The Committee will present its recommendation to the City Council for consideration once this position has been approved. Of course, any changes made to the position description prior to final approval will need to be reviewed by the Personnel Committee to ensure that the Committee's recommendation reflects the changes. Finally, the Committee also discussed, at length, the fact that other positions will be affected by the addition of this new department head position. Any current supervisory or department head position that will be supervised by the park and recreation director and possibly the positions currently overseeing other duties that will be transferred to the park and recreation director may have corresponding changes made to their position descriptions. The Committee did not attempt to determine what those changes may be or how they would IP/ affect current employees, but wanted everyone to be aware of this issue so it can be addressed.
