<br />In terms of hiring a replacement, I am recommending we wait a while in order to make <br />the 2017 budget work. Essentially, the budget provides for the ½ time wages we had in <br />place in 2016, a 2.5% cost of living adjustment, and an allowance for family health <br />insurance. Depending on the starting salary, this budget should provide for between 6.5 <br />and 8.0 months of salary (May to July start date). If we apply the additional levy amount <br />the Council authorized (about $18,000), we could fund the position between 9 months <br />and almost a full year (January to April start date). My recommendation is we plan on a <br />start date of no earlier than April 1st and possibly later. We can make that decision after <br />the first of the year. <br /> <br />For the interim transition plan, Katie and Don have both indicated their willingness to put <br />in extra time to keep things running smoothly. They will report directly to me and we <br />will have periodic meetings to make sure everything is getting handled as needed. We <br />will also utilize other staff members, as necessary, to ensure we aren’t overburdening <br />Katie and Don. Given that the winter sports seasons are getting underway, I believe the <br />immediate pressure is somewhat alleviated. <br /> <br />If you have comment or concerns, please let me know. <br /> <br />cc: Parks & Recreation Staff
