Board reviews campground-host posting and urges broader outreach to recruit hosts
Summary
Advisory board members discussed a campground-host posting, the $5,000 stipend, and outreach channels to attract applicants who can serve as summer'season eyes and ears for fire and campground maintenance.
Daie Community Advisory Board members reviewed the campground-host job posting and discussed ways to broaden outreach so the municipality can recruit a host for the summer season.
Members said the posting is on the municipal bulletin board and website and discussed placing the vacancy on national campground-host sites such as camperjobs.com and local community channels where transients and seasonal workers search for opportunities. Board members noted the contract states the host "shall stay in the cabin for the duration of the contract," but some applicants may use a self-contained motor home; members discussed how the cabin's primitive setup compares with applicants' living arrangements.
The posting covers May 1 to Oct. 1 and offers a stipend of about $5,000; hosts are expected to make morning and evening rounds five days a week. Members said a local listing and tourist-department outreach could help connect the position to employers and seasonal workers and suggested notifying local businesses and tourism staff (Jamie) to advertise the opportunity.
No formal hire or selection was made at the meeting; members agreed to suggest broader posting and to ask municipal human-resources staff to confirm where the position is published.
