Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Bill Blesener <br />Rick Collova <br />Jim LaValle <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />As you know, a committee chaired by Council Member Bev Scalze <br />consisting of Park Commission Chairperson Ken Wehrle, Planning <br />Commission Chairperson Gene DeLonais, Little Canada Recreation <br />Association President Steve Morelan, and myself have been meeting to <br />prepare our recommendation regarding the Park and Recreation Director <br />job description. Much information was reviewed in our evaluation <br />with some of it being enclosed for your information. A summary of <br />the key points of our meetings is as follows: <br />*On pages 25 through 28 the proposed job description for a <br />full -time position is enclosed. This description was put <br />together based on comments received from Jim Morelan, review of <br />other park and rec director job descriptions, and the unique <br />needs we felt should be addressed for the City of Little <br />Canada.

You will also note that <br />this range can be considered comparable to those of cities our <br />size. In establishing a final salary range, three factors <br />should be considered. They are the number of candidates in the <br />job market. This would seem to indicate a range of $25,000 to <br />$30,000 could be paid without seriously reducing the number of <br />available candidates. The lower the salary the less difficult <br />it will be for the City to fund this position. The other factor <br />which must be considered are the long -term needs of the <br />department. While in the short -term we may be able to save <br />some money by paying a lower salary, one has to consider that <br />F'•g e 2 2 <br />
