Background/Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Director has conducted a thorough evaluation of existing resources and department needs and has determined there is a need to create one (1) Park Maintenance Worker III position.
This new position is necessary to support the department’s expanding maintenance responsibilities and ensure continued high-quality service across several key park facilities. The individual in this role will handle the daily maintenance of the River’s Edge Splash Pad, which requires consistent oversight and operation similar to that of a swimming pool facility.
In addition, the Park Maintenance Worker III will oversee maintenance and operations at Hanafan Park, including current facilities and new phases that are presently under construction. The position will also be responsible for the care and upkeep of the 1st Avenue Trail and Valley View Dog Park, both of which are heavily used and require regular attention.
Due to the scope and complexity of these responsibilities, a senior-level maintenance position is necessary to provide consistent, dedicated oversight. This role will enhance the department’s ability to meet operational needs and maintain safe, accessible, and well-managed public spaces.
