Hanson <br />As you will recall, Don Bowman resigned as the City's recreation coordinator this past <br />September. His resignation was due to his pending retirement from St. Paul Regional Water <br />Services the impact continued employment would have on PERA distributions. He has been <br />separated from City employment for 30 days (as is required by PERA). He has indicated an <br />interest in returning to work for us. <br />To give us the most flexibility while also working well with Don's PERA pension, we are <br />recommending we contract with his company for Recreation Coordinator Services. The <br />reimbursement amount is based on 18 hours of work per week (past average) and the rate of <br />pay that would be in effect for 2015. We also factored in his cell phone reimbursement to this <br />amount. As a result, no other reimbursements will be made to him for the performance of his <br />services. <br />The contract is modeled after the one we have for the Fire Marshal. We believe it meets PERA <br />requirements for contracted service, but the City Attorney is conducting a final review, Subject <br />to that review and any comments from Mr. Bowman, staff recommends approval as presented. <br />cc: Don Bowman <br />1 <br />
