Board recommends adding Parks & Recreation director position to 2025 budget
Summary
Board members recommended the city council approve a new parks & recreation director FTE for 2025 after staff described the role, departmental structure and recruitment plan; the board voted to recommend approval.
Staff proposed a new Parks & Recreation and Open Space Director position to lead programming, management and long‑range planning for parks and trails and said the position would form a small departmental unit with a foreman and administrative support. "We are proposing to add a parks and recreation and open space director..." the staff member said, outlining duties including ADA compliance, maintenance oversight and partnership with public works.
Board members asked about recruitment channels and timing; staff said the job description is drafted and recommended posting via Parks and Rec Association channels, Colorado Municipal League listings and targeted listservs, likely in early January to avoid holiday delays. The board moved and seconded a recommendation that the city council approve the parks director position for the 2025 budget; the roll call vote was recorded and the motion passed.
