I was glad to hear that the BOD showed some fiscal responsibility in limiting most staff salary raises to 3% and are having our employees contribute 7% towards their health insurance. (See the Lake Adventure website, pages 8 & 9 of the SEPTEMBER BOARD MEETING MINUTES). Also, starting with the 2009/2010 season, the recreation department will be considered seasonal. After all, our recreation calendar is mainly just July and August.
What disturbs me though is the fact that they are increasing the recreation director salary more than 23% and making it a salaried seasonal job for 8 months of the year with benefits. The other four months they can collect unemployment (which might increase LACA’s unemployment insurance rates). And we probably will still only have a recreation calendar consisting of mainly July and August!
Can someone please explain to me: 1) how this is benefiting the association; and 2) why we don’t have at least more activities from May 1st through October 15th (especially on weekends) if we are paying for the service?
anon -- yea sounds rather fishy -- hmmmm !!!! --- also the bod better watch out on those benefits since you can't give some in a class more benefits than the others in the job classification--- that could lead to real problems --the labor department loves these type of cases--- also seasonal is seasonal and shouldn't have a full time salary and benefits -- does the bod think everyone is stupid with this shell game

WOW sweet deal where do I apply. Most people who work full time don't get that kind of salary for this type of job. Even the folks who are in the office all year are not getting paid that much
ReplyDeleteWhat is the deal with this recreation directors position?If you calculate the salary and benefits along with the work load she has a better job then the Governor, come on, organize no more then a dozen functions that take some work and get that salary. Come on board members, how can you honestly justify that, explain why, and I'm quite sure this will be questioned at the first open meeting and if you're up for re-election you better have some good answers
