CITY OF STILLWATER RECREATION COMMISSION STILLWATER, MINNESOTA STILLWATER RECREATION COMMISSION Meeting: September 6, 1968 Present: G. R. Smith, Councilman Wohlers Nonmembers: Wayne Loland, Assistant City Administrator; J. R. Blekum, Supervisor of Recreation The meeting opened at 7:45 p.m. Mr. Blekum reported on the summer beach program just past and indicated that the biggest problem encountered was low morale caused by immature caretakers. This, in turn, was caused by the resignation of Charles Mix from the Legion Beach. Thereafter a sixteen year old lifeguard (Jim Brownson) was asked to take over as caretaker. Although he did as well as could be expected, the problem was that the lifeguards of the same or more advanced age were not inclined to take orders from him. Supervisor Blekum recommended hiring a full-time caretaker who could be used at Lily Lake in the summer and in the warming houses in the winter, with plenty of repair work to do in between. He felt that activity was such that he would be justified. Discussion of Mr. Blekum's report brought out that the root of the problem was that salaries for the caretakers were not adequate to attract qualified people. Further discussion resulted in recommending that we try another year of hiring seasonal people, but raise the salary to $400 per month. Also, we will try to line up caretakers through the winter and spring, preferably a teacher or other seasonal worker. The Commission did not act on Mr. Blekum's recommendation for a full-time caretaker because of the following reasons: (1) we would still have to hire a caretaker ,for the Legion Beach, so it would remain a problem; (2) the new employee would come under the union contract between the city and the union, and administration of overtime hours in the summer followed by low need in spring and fall would, at best, be difficult; (3) we would probably have to pay $350-400 plus benefits for such a person, which would make the cost considerably higher. . .. ~ . e . Stillwater Recreation Commission Meeting: September 6, 1968 -2 The following rates of pay will be used for beach employees next year. Caretakers Lifeguards SLC WSI Substitutes $400 plus Start $1 .!f5 $1. 65 $1. Vb concessions Max. $1. 75* $1.85* *$0.05 increase per hour per year of applicable experience. It was also decided that Mr. Blekum's salary should be increased from $450 per month to $500 for 1969. Mr. Blekum reported that next year Orange Larson could not be employed at Pioneer Park (in 1969) because of a heart condi- tion. Furthermore, he reported that Lowell Park Trust Fund had produced only $1,895.92 and that expenses for running the park would be in excess of $4,570 and that the difference between the $4,570 and the $1,895.92 would have to be made up out of parks budget. He felt the operation at Lowell Park was somewhat extravagant and that we should ask the Lowell Park Commission, through the Council, to turn operation of Lowell Park over to us. Accordingly we would be able to operate it for about $2,800, which is near the average of $2,700 that the Lowell Trust Fund &46,000) has generated over the years. The attached budget for 1969 was then worked out and will be presented to the City Administrator for adoption in the 1969 city budget. At 10:05 p.m. Mr. W. L. O'Brien arrived and expressed the opinion that he would like to see the recommendations of Mr. Blekum fol- lowed relative to the full-time Lily Lake caretaker. He said he doubted that a seasonal caretaker could be gotten for the $400 per month plus concessions. He also felt that the lifeguards' salaries should be increased further. Mr. Wohlers was inclined to go along with him, but then decided to sit tight on the original Commission recommendation. Mr. Smith agreed to ask the Council to consider our recommendations on Lowell Park. Meeting adjourned 10:35 p.m. ~((j2~ Gordon R. Smith Secretary .. CITY OF STILLWATER '.
