Agenda Item No. 17

Introduced by the County Services and Finance Committees of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION CHANGING THE POSITION OF PARKS MANAGER III

TO A PARKS MANAGER II

RESOLUTION #08-313

WHEREAS, on July 1, 2007 Potter Park and the Potter Park Zoo were integrated into the Ingham County Parks system; and

WHEREAS, at that time, the classification of Park Manager III was established in recognition of the additional job responsibilities assigned to the Park Manager II, as a result of the addition of Potter Park and the Potter Park Zoo; and

WHEREAS, the Park Manager II, MCF-10 position was reclassified to a Park Manager III, MCF-11, with the differential of $5,436 to be captured each year from the Potter Park Zoo Millage; and

WHEREAS, on July 22, 2008, a Horticulturalist/Grounds Manager was hired to oversee Potter Park and the Zoological Gardens of the Potter Park Zoo; and

WHEREAS, due to the placement of the Potter Park Zoo Horticulturalist/Grounds Manager, continued support of a Parks Manager is no longer required at Potter Park Zoo, and the Parks Director wishes to change the Parks Manager III position to a Parks Manager II, resulting in a cost savings to the County.

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Parks and Recreation Commission passed Resolution #26-08 in support of this change.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners hereby authorizes changing the Parks Manager III position (MCF11 with a 2009 salary range of $62,388 to  $74,884) to a Parks Manager II position (MCF10 with a 2009 salary range of $57,767 to $69,339) effective upon the approval of this resolution.
