Committee authorizes parks hires funded by parks millage to expand summer programming
Summary
The committee authorized two parks positions — a seasonal camp manager and a groundskeeper foreman — funded by the parks millage; HR said the seasonal role supports 12-week summer programming and the foreman is full-time with an estimated full cost of about $93,250.
The committee authorized forwarding two parks positions to the full board: a seasonal camp manager (seasonal top rate presented at about $21.63/hour) to support weekly summer-camp sessions and a groundskeeper foreman (full-time; estimated full cost about $93,250 annually). Human Resources reported the seasonal position’s annual expense would be roughly $11,606 and the groundskeeper’s full cost $93,250, and said both positions would be fully funded through the parks millage, not the general fund.
Human Resources also described countywide staffing stress: a roughly 11.27% vacancy rate (12.71% across the last 12 months) and continued recruitment and retention challenges in prosecutor and sheriff offices. Commissioners asked whether summer programming generates revenue; HR said camps already bring in fees and that expanded programming could increase revenue, but the positions as structured are funded by the parks millage. The committee moved, supported and approved the request to forward the new positions to the full board.
