Summary
At a special July 24 budget meeting, the Nebraska City Council voted 5-0 to implement an Assistant Parks & Recreation Director position; the council also approved corrected minutes and continued departmental budget reviews.
The Nebraska City Council voted unanimously July 24 to implement an Assistant Parks & Recreation Director position during a special budget meeting.
Commissioner Patrick Wehling moved to implement the position, and Commissioner Ron Osovski seconded. The motion carried with Commissioners Osovski, Cole Sharp, Wehling, Joe Chaney and Mayor Bryan Bequette voting YES; no members voted no or abstained.
The vote came during a meeting held in the Gary White Memorial Room at the ROWE Safety Complex. Council members also approved a correction to the minutes of the July 23 special budget meeting, changing a reference from the "EMS/Rescue Department" to the "Fire Department," by a separate unanimous vote earlier in the same meeting.
City Administrator Perry Mader and departmental staff were present for the budget review. The minutes record that the council discussed budget items for the Recreation, Pool, Parks, Golf and Library departments on July 24 but do not provide detailed line-item decisions tied to the new position in the record.
No salary, effective date, job description, or funding source for the new Assistant Parks & Recreation Director position is specified in the minutes. The record does not show whether the position will be full-time or part-time, or whether the council adopted related budget amendments; those details are listed as not specified in the meeting minutes.
The meeting recessed briefly at 10:27 a.m. and reconvened at 10:36 a.m.; it adjourned at 12:23 p.m. The minutes include an affidavit from City Clerk Randy Dunster confirming posting and public-notice requirements under the Nebraska Open Meetings Act.
