LITTLE CANADA <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />DEPARTMENT <br />CITY OFFICES: <br />515 Little Canada Road / Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 <br />Telephone: (612) 484-2177 / Fax: 484-4538 <br />JIM MORELAN, Director <br />451 EH Road <br />484-2547 <br />JACK FITZGERALD, Asst. Director <br />2920 Vanderble Street <br />483-3117 <br />DIANE HUSAK, Asst. Director, Girls Activities <br />2380 Greenbrier Circle <br />483-9302 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Evaluation Committee Members <br />FROM: Jim Morelan, Parks and Recreation Director <br />DATE: October 29, 1991 <br />RE: Parks and Recreation Director Position <br />I would like to caution the Committee on putting too much <br />emphasis on adding duties to the position of Parks and <br />Recreation Director for the purpose of funding and /or <br />justifying the position on a full -time basis. <br />While some added responsibility and workload is <br />appropriate, I can visualize the job being saddled with the <br />same problems that are apparent now if too many new duties <br />are attached to it. <br />Keep in mind that the present Director is putting in <br />approximately 30 hours per week now, and there are things <br />that are not getting done. Also, each of the Assistants <br />are working approximately 10 to 15 hours per week. <br />It is unfortunate that the funding is a problem, but let's <br />not try to solve it by creating others. <br />Given the present workload, I feel that the City should be <br />careful that a situation is not created where the full -time <br />director will need other full -time support staff in the <br />near future in order to carry out the jobs assigned to the <br />Department. <br />JM:kv <br />° page 40 <br />
