MEMO TO: Mounds View City Counc'1 FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Parks, Recreation a d s ry DATE: March 31, 1983 RE: Hiring of half-time aquatics director Enclosed you will find a memorandum that was distributed to the Parks and Recreation Commission at their March 24, 1983 meeting which outlines the feasibility of hiring a half-time aquatics director. The aquatics director would be responsible for the organization, direction, implementation and coordination of the City's aquatics program at both the Edgewood Pool and the Lake- side Park Beach. As indicated in the staff memo, the aquatics program currently coordinated by the City of Mounds View involves 33 seasonal employees with expenditures of approximately $32,000 and revenue in the area of $10,000. Staff's proposal as outlined would recommend the hiring of "a regular part-time employee which is defined in the Mounds View City Code, Chapter 6, under personnel 6.024 as an employee who has successfully completed the probationary period and is employed on a schedule of more than 20 hours and less than 40 hours per week". Staff further proposes that this position would be funded out of existing revenues. To be more specific, a joint powers agreement would be implemented with the School District which would include $1,500 - $2,000 of financial assistance and the existing $3,500 from Lakeside Park and the additional $1,900 currently paid for a pool coordinator at Edgewood. As noted in the staff memorandum, staff has completed preliminary groundwork which indicates that we would be able to hire an ex- tremely competent individual on a regular part-time basis at the proposed salary range of $6,000 - $7,000 per year. It should be noted that staff included fringe benefits in the $6,000 - $7,000 range so actually, the salary would probably be approximately $5,000 - $6,000 with the remaining $1,000 - $1,500 to be paid out in fringe benefits. It should be noted that fringe benefits would be paid on a proportional basis as to the number of hours that are actually worked, similar to the regular part-time police secretary's position. Both myself and Program Supervisor Mary Saarion will be on hand Monday evening to discuss the feasibility of hiring a regular part-time aquatics coordinator at Monday evenings meeting. Should you have any questions regarding this issue prior to Monday evenings meeting, feel free to contact myself directly at ext. #41. BKA/sll Attachment 4
