title
MOTION to approve a proposed Director of Parks, Recreation and Senior Citizens job description as contained in the draft dated May 9, 2023.
body
Background:
In 2020 the Parks & Recreation Department relocated from Blonders Boulevard to the Senior Citizens Facility on Van Tassel Drive in Gales Ferry to reduce costs while improving efficiencies.
This move provided for the restructuring and sharing of staff between the Senior Citizens Center and the Parks & Recreation Office.
On April 26, 2023 the Town Council adopted amendments to Ordinance #100-016 (rev 1) "An Ordinance Combining Parks And Recreation Commission and Senior Citizens Commission for the Town of Ledyard". Taking this step to formally combine the two Commissions would continue to streamline daily operations, provide financial and space benefits, as well as support additional programs and events.
The final step in the initiative to combine the Parks, Recreation and Senior Citizens Departments included revising the job description to reflect the current combined duties that Mr. Scott Johnson, Jr., has been performing for the past few years.
The title of the job description "Director of Parks, Recreation and Senior Citizens" has been updated to reflect the current title provided in Ordinance #100-016 (rev. 1).
This position is included in the "Resolution Establishing Administrator/Department Head Benefits"
There will be no change in current salary for this revised/combined position.
Attached for reference is the 1994 job description along with the new draft.
