COMMISSION/STAFF INPUT <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood provided an update on the planning for the <br />Summer Concert Series along with summer programing and recent events. He noted that the <br />Recreation Specialist has accepted a different position and will be leaving Ramsey. He noted that <br />in the last ten years there have been 16 different individuals trained for the position, which is a <br />large investment to bring someone on board for a short period of time. He stated that staff will be <br />discussing the compensation for the position with the City Council, as higher compensation could <br />prevent this situation from continuing to occur. He stated also that staff will be providing a report <br />to the Commission in the coming months related to the past skating season and recommendations <br />for potentially decommissioning the skating facilities at Ramsey Elementary in the future. <br />7.
