Park Board looks for new pool manager and discusses wage increases
Summary
Board members said Shannon Burgess will not return as pool manager; Kevin Sturm suggested Nicole Stevens as a candidate, and the board discussed updated job descriptions, reapplying for positions, and potential pay increases for managers, supervisors, lifeguards and concession staff.
Board members confirmed on Jan. 27 that Shannon Burgess will not return as pool manager for the upcoming season and discussed steps to recruit and set pay for new staff.
Kevin Sturm suggested Nicole Stevens as a candidate for manager and the board said the pool job description must be updated before advertising. The board indicated that all current staff will need to reapply for their positions this season. Janet (last name not given) agreed to reach out to other local pools to gather pay grids for comparison.
The board discussed increasing pay: potentially offering a new manager $18.00 per hour if Nicole Stevens takes the position, raising assistant manager pay to $15.00 per hour, increasing lifeguard wages by $1.00 per hour, and adding $0.25 per hour for returning concession-stand employees. Board members also discussed providing managers an additional $1.00 per hour in some circumstances; no formal motion or vote was recorded in the notes.
Next steps include updating the job description, advertising the position, collecting pay-grid information from other pools and soliciting applications from current staff and outside candidates. No hire was made at the meeting.
