Town to recruit facilities, parks and recreation manager after trustees approve funding approach
Summary
Trustees directed staff to post and recruit for a Facilities/Parks & Recreation manager position, with a proposed starting salary range of $50,000–$60,000 including benefits and mixed funding from sheriff surplus and enterprise funds.
The board discussed a proposed Facilities/Parks & Recreation manager position March 9 and gave staff direction to move forward with recruitment.
Staff said the department can sustain a full-time manager by combining a modest one-time surplus (unspent sheriff service funds), new facility fee increases (including a three-day minimum for certain Kendall events), and by charging hours spent working at the Mullis enterprise fund to that account. A compensation study indicated the regionally competitive starting salary for the role is in the low $50,000s; staff recommended budgeting a starting range of $50,000–$60,000 including benefits.
Trustees emphasized hiring a candidate with grant-management and capital-project experience to pursue funding and address deferred maintenance. Staff noted the position previously existed and the new hire would increase capacity for grant work, capital improvements and day-to-day facility operations. The board authorized posting the position and proceeding with recruitment.
