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

What 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
anon -- i think the issue is that this rec job requires very long days during june thru labor day and if this was a salary then you need compensation for long work days but if this is hourly then there are too many issues of accountability of the hours--- also if this is going to be a contractor relationship with la then the bod needs to look at several labor issue: contractor supervising la employees; contractor utilizing and managing la facilities; payment method; liability insurances from the contractor covering the contractor and la; oral contract or written contract-- no matter what la is entering an area that could create labor problems for la not the least being medical benefits and as a contractor this individual would not be eligible for unemployment benefits--- something doesn't sound right
the issue the bod has is whether la should operate as a seasonal operation and staff accordingly or function as a full time operation and function full time -- you can't do a half job -- in reality la is a seasonal operation but the bod pays for full time full season operations -- they are mismanaging la assets and finances

What long hours, how many times have we seen her at an activity. Isn't there an assistant rec director that also helps out. Our season is not in June it does not start to the very end of June it is really just July and August which is no more then 10 weeks even with the last week of June and first week of Sept. What exactly would the Rec Director do in the off season we don't have any trips or even activities on the weekends after Labor Day. Just keeping the clubhouse open doesn't count. This whole thing seems very fishy
ReplyDeleteI think the rec director has to start working in late winter/early spring to start coordinating schedules, etc so things for June are probably scheduled in May and researched in April. I also think when working on these things she most likely doesn't work a straight 9-5 Mon-Fri week, she may be working on Sat and Sun depending on what is in the works. If you look at the calendars there is something planned in almost every date. If you ever planned a birthday party for your children you would realize how much work goes into one little afternoon of fun and games so I can't fault the hours as she plans things right into Christmas. The salary, maybe a little high compare to the stress, responsibility and work load of the office workers but given I wouldn't want to do it maybe the salary is justified. Did I read correctly, Total Recreation only sold 4 trailers to LA? $250 each kickback to LA. If 12 wides passed the community stands to make a good amount of money from the dealer. I know a few came in from other dealers.
