Resolution 7051, Approving Full-Time Cable Television Coordinator <br />Position and Advertisement for Hire <br />Assistant to the Administrator Crane said that, at the work session, there was consensus to move <br />forward with the full time cable coordinator position. <br />MOTION/SECOND: FlahertylMueller. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7051, <br />Approving Full-Time Cable Television Coordinator Position and Advertisement for Hire. <br />Cauncil Member Stigney said that if there were three part time people there would be greater <br />flexibility for the residents for broadcasting at far less dollars. He then said that he thinks that <br />this is a step in the wrong direction and he does not support this. <br />Council Member Hull said that this would add a new full time position at the City at a good <br />salary including benefits and he does not feel that it is as efficient as it would be to hire two more <br />part time people for this position. <br />Council Member Mueller said that the City expects companies that come into the City to look at • <br />full time people and the Cify expects that the businesses that come to town to offer ful~ time <br />positions and she sees a lot of part time people come and go and this requires constant training <br />for new people. She further said that she feels that this is a vital job within the City and the <br />people that are covering the position are making more than $19.00 or $20.OQ an hour. <br />Mayor Marty expressed his opinion on the necessity to have a full time cable coordinator <br />position especially in Iight of the fact that there is not only the cable broadcasts, but also the <br />webstreaming. <br />Mayor Mariy read the job description and requirements for the position noting he would like to <br />change the wording to be available and coordinate local candidate forums and local town hall <br />meeting because that is only once every other year and needs to get out to the residents. He <br />would also like to add aim to transition into website and newsletter duties as needed. <br />Mayor Mariy agreed with Council Members Hull and Stigney in that he is not for "growing <br />government" but he feels that this position is vital as it can really benefit the residents rather than <br />turning the position into training to move them on to other facilities. <br />Council Member Stigney said that this is the starting salary that will increase every six months <br />and a cost of living on top of it so he feels the salary is very good to call it a training facility. <br />• <br />
