Attached for your review are the draft 11/7/90 Park <br /> and Recreation Commission minutes . <br /> The last Commission meeting got no further than the Open Mike <br /> agenda item. Accordingly, this next meeting will be, in a <br /> sense, a continuation of the last meeting. In this regard, <br /> everyone should bring the sample Park and Recreation <br /> Director/Coordinator job descriptions that were included in the <br /> November agenda packet. <br /> As agenda item 5 and 6 are the same as the November agenda, the <br /> following four paragraphs are also a repeat of the November <br /> agenda memo. . . <br /> • <br /> PARK AND RECREATION DIRECTOR JOB DESCRIPTION. . .Attached for <br /> your information are some comments on a job description from <br /> Commissioners Northway and O'Brien. Also attached are sample <br /> job descriptions from some metro and non-metro communities that <br /> are of similar size to Elk River. These job descriptions are <br /> from the Cities of Chanhassen, Savage, Stillwater, New Ulm, <br /> Hutchinson and Northfield. <br /> As you can see by the attached material, there is a wide <br /> variety of activities under the jurisdiction of a Park and <br /> Recreation Director/Coordinator. Each community tailors the <br /> responsibilities of a director to needs of the community and <br /> school district . Almost all of the communities combined their <br /> efforts with the school district in offering recreational <br /> opportunities . Also, almost all of the cities have <br /> responsibilities for park maintenance (street or park <br /> maintenance crew) , but this work is under the jurisdiction of a <br /> park director. Prior to any job description being put <br /> together, the City and School District will have to reach a <br /> clear understanding of future park and recreation <br /> responsibilities and needs for the City and for the School <br /> District. <br /> The attached material is offered for discussion and as examples <br /> in putting together an Elk River Park and Recreation <br /> Director/Coordinator job description. The development of this <br /> description will be difficult as it is anticipated that the <br /> 720 Dodge Ave. N.W. Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
