Jefferson County creates full-time recreation program coordinator position
Summary
The board approved a new Grade 6 recreation program coordinator position for Jefferson County Parks and Recreation and authorized recruitment to advertise the role.
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted Sept. 2 to create a full-time recreation program coordinator position in the Parks and Recreation department and authorized staff to advertise the opening.
Staff described the proposed job description for a Grade 6 position requiring an associate degree or equivalent experience and responsibilities to expand youth and adult programs. Martin, who presented the proposal, said community demand already exists for expanded programs such as flag football, beach volleyball and soccer.
Commissioners discussed staffing and maintenance capacity; staff said a full-time maintenance employee already is on board and that having a dedicated recreation coordinator will allow the county to expand programming and improve service delivery. A motion to create the position and post it for recruitment was made, seconded and approved by roll call.
The county will advertise the job and begin the hiring process; staff said the proposed candidate pool includes individuals with prior local program experience.
