He stated that a copy of the position <br />has been provided to the Commission for review, as it is common practice to update the job <br />position prior to posting. He noted that the job title will be updated as this has evolved into a <br />Director position. He also noted other tasks that will be updated as the City now has a <br />Community Relations Manager and therefore this position will be a Parks and Recreation <br />Director. He summarized some updates that will be made to the description and welcomed any <br />additional input from the Commission. He also provided an update on the proposed timing, <br />noting that staff plans to bring the updated position to the Council for review and approval at the <br />February 14th meeting and the job will be posted after that time with interviews anticipated to <br />take place in March. <br /> <br />Commissioner Williams asked why there is a delay when the Parks & Rec/Community Services <br />Manager provided his notice in January. <br /> <br />The City Administrator explained that staff wanted to be intentional and take the time to update <br />the description to ensure they capture the desired candidates. <br />
