Board approves full-time administrative director position to begin Jan. 1
Summary
The board approved a job description to create a full-time administrative director position beginning Jan. 1, 2026, replacing an administrative assistant role and consolidating parking operations, reporting, budgeting and grants responsibilities.
At the Nov. 5 meeting the Michigan City Parks and Recreation Board approved a full-time administrative director job description that will take effect Jan. 1, 2026.
Staff said the position had been included and approved during the 2026 budget process, and had already been reviewed by the mayor, controller and city council (city council approval recorded on Oct. 21). The role will replace an administrative assistant position and carry expanded duties, including running the city's parking operation, quarterly and annual reporting, budgets and grants administration. Staff said the position previously existed and the department needs the role for succession planning; the assistant superintendent had been filling dual responsibilities in the absence of a recreation director.
Board members praised Melissa Moore, the department's administrative assistant, for cross-training and operational knowledge. A motion to approve the job description passed by voice vote.
