Mrs. Kasler, Chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: 1) A joint meeting of the Recreation and Finance Committees was held on Wednesday, December 9. Present were all members of Council, Mayor Musial, directors of Safety and Finance and Springvale Manager Strnad and several residents. The committee discussed Ordinance 98-141, which is an ordinance establishing the positions and pay ranges for employees at Springvale Golf Course and Ballroom. The committee reviewed job descriptions and salaries that had been submitted. Questions remained as to whether this ordinance was to provide individual pay raises or simply change the ranges of pay and combine certain positions. Several guests simultaneously raised questions as well which related to pay raises in general and employee organization and qualifications at Springvale. As a result of concern expressed by Council and residents, the committee voted to hold the ordinance in committee and requested that the administration revisit the ordinance addressing positions, salaries, the need for salary range changes and alt concerns presented by residents regarding the condition of the golf course. A meeting to discuss administrative findings will be scheduled in January. Mr. Miller had no committee report but wished everyone a happy and safe holiday season.
