The legislation will be put on hold until all revisions are complete. Mr. Limpert commented that these funds will not be used for personnel costs in the Building Department, and Mr. Lind agreed. Mr. Miller, Chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: 1) The committee met on Tuesday, May 9. In attendance were committee members Limpert, Nashar and Miller; Safety Director Kasler; Council Members Musial, Lmd, Saringer and McKay. The committee discussed Ordinance No. 95-55, which changes the title of Assistant Golf Course Superintendent to Assistant Golf Course Superintendent I, a salaried position which will pay $18,700 per year. Currently the position is being filled by apart-time employee who is really working full-time. This is a necessary upgrade because Springvale needs a person who is properly certified to do application of various chemical fertilizers, fungicides and pesticides. The legislation also creates the part-time position of Assistant Golf Course Superintendent II. The committee requested that Safety Director Kasler acquire a comparison of personnel at this position from similar-sized golf courses. pending receipt of that information, it was unanimously recommended that Ordinance No. 95-55 be approved. 6
