Mr. Holley has been a one-man operation and is over-extended. He felt a lot of the work could be done inhouse instead of using consultants, thus saving the City some money. Mr. Buquet asked where this person would be located. Mr. Dahl stated this brought up another point, and that was of utilizing extra space which was available in the building next to the city offices. Mr. Buquet felt there would be problems with this location since it was upstairs. Mr. Holley stated they had thought of this. Actually, it would not be any different from what takes place now. People come to the main counter at the switchboard. They are notified that someone is there, and they come out. If they were located upstairs, then the same procedure would be followed. They would go to the person. Mr. Wasserman stated that a Park Planner would be an entry level position at a cost of about $26,000. In their calculations, an amount had been included to cover the expense of space this employee. Mr. Empey stated they calculated this based on 75 to 85 cents per square foot, or $6300 for space for 8 months. We did not come up with any particular place, only considered the cost.
