Beach Maintenance Guard Position Description Continued:
- Pam Bunker, Chair of the Beach Committee, discussed the newly proposed position for beach maintenance. Ms. Bunker described the position as one that is pre- and post-season rather than summer-long in duration. She also described the intent of the committee to establish a position to do beach maintenance that is not paid at the same rate as a Beach Guard. Currently, the Beach Guards, at their rate, do the maintenance work.
- Extended discussion occurred regarding the possibilities for how maintenance work could be accomplished through different positions within the dept. or through a blended position. More discussion occurred regarding the Beach Department management and the Board agreed the Beach Committee must return with a job description that reflects a position which will address their needs.
