Board approves parks staffing changes and a pending part-time hire

Board of Public Works and Safety · August 25, 2026

Summary

The board approved a set of parks staffing moves — Jesse Van Hook to full-time labor, Alan Mahan to seasonal, Morris Cardell to year-round part-time, and the rehiring of Melissa Crabtree as seasonal part-time — and separately approved hiring pending background checks for the new part-time employee.

Parks staff described multiple staffing reorganizations that took effect the week of Aug. 24 and asked the board to approve the changes.

"Jesse Van Hook will be moving to full time labor position... Alan Mahan will be moving to a seasonal laborer... Morris Cardell will be moving to a year round part time position, and Melissa Crabtree will be rehired into a seasonal part time position," parks staff said. The board approved the staff changes by roll call. A separate motion to hire the presented new part-time employee passed with the board noting the hire would be pending any required background or medical checks.

Board members discussed handling the changes and hiring votes as separate motions, and the clerk recorded aye votes from Greg Miller and Jim Skinner for both motions.
