March 5, 1986 Park Board Minutes D. Aquatics Director Page 5 Anderson said New Brighton and Mounds View are proposing to hire an aquatics director to direct the aquatics programs of both cities. Funds. for the position will come from four sources: self supporting program, existing aquatics budget, Long Lake beach budget and the senior aide position. The aquatics director would keep the aquatics program between the two cities well coordinated. Council Representative Williams was concerned that perhaps St. Anthony would feel they should also be a part of the joint agreement because part of their school district covers New Brighton. Anderson said they have their own aquatics program and it is a good one. A question of why the aquatics director would report to Mounds View came up. Anderson stated because in the joint powers agreement we currently have with-:.the forester, he reports to New Brighton and to balance out the paperwork for payroll, etc. it seemed appropriate this person would report to Mounds View. Ken Johnson was surprised at the $21,000 salary for this position. He felt it was high. Anderson said the $21,000 would be the very top. It would be advertised as a range. He further stated that his investi- gation had determined that this salary was comparable to what was being-paid in other cities. Johnson suggested advertising at $17,000 or $18,00.0 to see what kind of response is received. If it is not good, then the salary could be increased.
