ATTACHMENTS: None APPROVED BY:
The Community Center has utilized a temporary part-time receptionist throughout the year to handle phone
and light clerical duties. This position has proven to be an essential component of our operation as the
Department receives numerous calls and in person visits from the public. We currently employ a
receptionist approximately five hours per weekday. The difficulry with a temporary part-time receptionist
is that we have to train in a new person every three months. Because of the vast information receptionists
must learn and the intricacy of the Department,'I have determined the need to initiate a permanent
receptionist position so that we provide consistent information to customers.
After evaluating the status of our Paxks and Recreation budget, I have determined that our cost control has
been sufficient and we have adequate operating funds to exchange our temporary receptionist into a
permanent position. I propose to eliminate our current temporary receptionist position and post and
advertise for a permanent part-time receptionist for 25 hours per week at a starting rate of $9.09 per hour,
effective immediately. $9.09 per hour is the starting salary for receptionist under our current union
contract. This position has been introduced in the 1996 budget, preliminarily approved by City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve posting and advertising the position of permanent part-
time receptionist for 25 hours per week at a rate of $9.09 per hour.
