Councilmember Heinrich stated that she was opposed to filling this position this year and is still <br /> not convinced that this is a needed position and therefore is not going to support this action. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that as part of the Ramsey Foundation he knows that having this <br /> person to work with is instrumental in making the community events possible. He stated that <br /> community events and park programming are important parts of the community. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to Adopt Resolution <br /> #19-189 to Hire a Part-Time Recreation Specialist Filling the Vacant Position. <br /> Further discussion: Councilmember Musgrove asked who would handle these duties if this <br /> person is not hired.
