City Council Minutes <br />May 4, 2020 <br />Page 9 <br />Mayor Dietz stated he doesn't believe it will be possible for the new commission to <br />have to make these decisions so soon. He recommended the commission study the <br />decisions and bring back recommended changes to the Council. <br />Councilmember Ovall understand why market comparisons and analysis was <br />completed and agrees staff will have to guide the new commission but he believes <br />without feedback from the commission they might be missing out on establishing <br />appropriate ice rates. He noted it is harder to increase rates later than it is to reduce <br />rates. <br />Mr. Portner indicated nothing is set with the ice rates and the rates can be whatever <br />the Council wants them to be. He stated he can review with Arena Manager Rich <br />Czech to see where he expects rates to be. <br />10.1 Parks and Recreation Organizational Chart <br />Mr. Hecker and Mr. Benoit presented the organizational chart. <br />Councilmember Westgaard questioned how this organizational chart compares to the <br />current organizational structure and how many full and part time employees are in <br />the budget compared to 2018. Mr. Hecker indicated the only difference is Mr. Benoit <br />will move to a facility role rather than overseeing programming and duties that have <br />been assigned to Mr. Benoit will transfer to other staff. <br />Mr. Portner indicated overall budgeted wages and benefits have decreased due to the <br />former activity center director Ms. Bonin's wages and benefits split between one of <br />the assistant facility managers and one recreation assistant. <br />Councilmember Ovall questioned if the senior recreation coordinator and the vacant <br />office worker position would fall under the facility budget. Mr. Portner indicated <br />their wages come from the General Fund. He recommended their wages remain <br />there since their positions relate to programming and he feels actual building <br />expenses and revenue should stay with the building. Councilmember Ovall stated he <br />understands why it is in the General Fund, but he could see it going either way since <br />they are occupying the multipurpose facility and running programming in the facility. <br />Councilmember Westgaard questioned if the facility superintendent, facility <br />maintenance manager, recreation coordinator, and two assistant facility managers are <br />all scheduled during the day as that seems like a lot of supervisors in the building at <br />the same time. Mr. Portner indicated the superintendent, senior recreation <br />coordinator, and facility maintenance manager will likely be in the facility a majority <br />of the day, but the assistant facility managers will be mostly nights and weekends. He <br />added the building will be open about 117 hours a week. <br />UMr. Benoit reviewed a PowerPoint outlining estimated revenues and expenses. <br />P 0 V E R E 0 0 1 <br />NATUR <br />
