Although suffering steep revenue declines owing to the COVID-19 pandemic this year, one-time income sources, such as a state distribution of $234,707 of CARES Act funds, and an unexpected management staff vacancy were enough to allow the city to restore to full time three positions in the Parks and Recreation department that had been on reduced hours: the Director Todd Trimble,
a recreation supervisor II; and a facilities and maintenance supervisor. Since July 6, these staff had worked only 24 hours per week
The city had also been able to recall a laid-off public works employee earlier. However, Finance Director Paul Ranking reported that, unfortunately, the employee found it necessary to resign and his position is currently vacant. Human Resources will be working with the department to initiate recruitment.
