MEMORANDUM
**Item 3.6.**
TO:
Mayor and City Council
Suzanne Kostanshek, Sr. Citizen Coord.
DATE:
July 8, 1999
SUBJECT: Activity Assistant
Council approved in the 1999 Budget for a part-time activity assistant. I am
recommending the city hire Rebecca Brown as an activity assistant for the
Senior Center.
Ms. Brown was previously working for Guardian Angels Homes in the same
building that the Senior Center is located. Because of that experience, she
knows the operations of the Senior Center as well as many of the
participants. She has a strong background in music, planning activities for
large groups, and great secretarial and newsletter publication skills. I have
seen her interact with seniors and I know that she has the kindness,
patience, and experience that is required to work with this population.
.
An added activity assistant will allow us to increase senior programming to
evenings and some weekends. She will be using the office space at the
Senior Center and occasionally use my current space at city hall.
Recommendation
I recommend the hiring of Rebecca Brown as Activity Assistant at $8.00 per
hour. She will be available to start on August 24, 1999.
