Item # 5_3. <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Lori Johnson, City Administrator <br />DATE: January 10, 201 I <br />SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Director Discussion <br />At the November 1, 2010, Council meeting, the Council requested that discussion on the <br />process of recruiting and selecting a Parks and Recreation Director be brought back to the <br />Council at the January worksession. Attached are the minutes from that meeting for your <br />review. <br />Additionally, for your information I have attached to this memo the list of 2011 Unfilled and <br />Requested Positions list that was included in the August 2, 2010, budget memo to the City <br />Council. In addition to the five vacant positions listed on the attachment, there axe two <br />other vacant part time positions, a Street Maintenance I position not filled after a retirement, <br />and a Recreation Assistant. Further, although the Senior Planner position is listed, it is not <br />planned to be filled; neither axe the two positions eliminated in the building safety <br />department. The current unfunded positions planned to be filled in the future total over <br />$437,000. <br />Since the November 1, 2010, worksession and adoption of the budget, there have been <br />several unexpected personnel changes. Those changes include the partial retirement of the <br />Street Superintendent, promotions at the police department, and increased hours in the fire <br />department. Those coupled with the delayed hiring of a Parks and Recreation Director <br />create a savings of approximately $96,700. However, it is expected that the $46,300 of fiends <br />saved in the street division will be reallocated within that division. <br />N:\Public Bodies\Ciry Council\Lori\2011\Pazks and Recreation Director.docx <br />
