DESCRIPTION In September of 1983 , the Park & Recreation Advisory
Committee recommended a first year level of recreation programming for the
City which the City Council adopted. This level included the services of a -
Recreation Director which the City has hired and the services of a Secretary
to serve in the Recreation Department .
Since that time, the City Council has authorized Staff to negotiate a
proposal for managing the Shannon Community Center . As the City Council may
recall, included in the proposed budget for managing the Shannon Community
Center was 30% of a Secretary position which would be required just to
undertake the responsibilities necessary to effectively manage the Community
Center .
The services of a Recreation Department Secretary will also be necessary to
provide the necessary support for recreation programming which the City will
undertake in the future. These secretarial services are needed for
recreation brochure preparation, class registration, provision of general
recreation information, handling telephone calls, receiving visitors, etc.
Without the services of a Secretary, the Recreation Director ' s effectiveness
would be extremely minimized in not only managing the Community Center , but
also developing and supervising recreation programs within and without the
Center . It is Staff ' s recommendation that the City Council authorize an
additional secretarial position for the Recreation Department . This
secretarial position will function under the same job description as the
Secretary positions in Planning, Building Inspection and Engineering
Services . In addition, the salary range would be $1,350 - $1 , 775 in
accordance with the salary range already established for the other
secretarial positions in the City Offices .
