O E
General Business 10. D. 1.
S
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator
DATE: 03/17/2015
SUBJECT: Approval of Revised Recreation Supervisor Position Description (E)
ADDED to AGENDA on 3/17/2015
Action Sought
The Council is asked to approve an updated job description for the Recreation Supervisor
position responsible for ice arena operations and programming.
Background
The Recreation Supervisor position responsible for ice arena operations and
programming is currently vacant for the first-time in many years. As is the City's
practice prior to beginning the recruitment and hiring process for any full-time position,
the job description was reviewed to determine if any updates are needed.
At this time, Parks & Recreation Director Jamie Polley is recommending that the
minimum qualifications for the position be increased from one year of experience to
three years of experience and that experience with maintenance of the ice arena
mechanical systems be made a "minimum" rather than just a "desirable" qualification.
These proposed changes to the job description are shown in red on the attached
document.
Budget Impact
The increase in minimum qualifications is modest enough so as not to alter the pay range
for the position. Therefore this action will have no budgetary impact.
Relationship to Vision
This item relates to Goal E: Deliver effective and efficient public services by a staff of
well-trained, caring and professional employees.
Requested Action
The Council is asked to approve the attached position description for Recreation
Supervisor — Ice Arena Operations and Programming.
