He said the advantages of a contract for the duties or functions of coordinating the events for the City are that we would not have to worry about issues of overtime or issues of designation in terms of whether or not that individual was a union member or not. We would not pay benefits for the contracted position He said that he was open to some thoughts on this matter as he needs to either fill the open position fairly soon or perhaps we need to go in the direction of drafting a contract that could be approved by the Council to offer the position on a contract basis. He said he was expecting or hoping to get some input. Councilmember Detering asked if it was a full time position, and how much time was devoted strictly to the main community events. He asked if there would be benefits of having a staff person who was able to not only do the specific events that we have such as the Wings and Wheels festival and such, verses having somebody on staff that may be able to fill in other areas for instance maybe volunteer coordination, assistance with overflow work from other staff members. He asked if that had been considered in the past or if had been done in the past. Mayor Lacy said the first question that was asked was what this person's relationship or what do they do with respect to all of our events, and his answer to that is that when Dawn was in the ' position she ran all of the events, obtained sponsorships, and was responsible for coordinating all volunteer efforts on behalf of the City. In answer to the second part of his question as he understood it was that in the past, before we had a legal opinion that we believed required us as a Council to take events in house from a stand point of employment. He said prior to that, we had a contract with the East Wenatchee Chamber of Commerce and they would hire someone to put on the events. He said that when we first started, for example Wings & Wheels, we had all volunteer staff and the person that was heading it up, at least initially, was not employed by anyone. He said that as these events have grown significantly and we have gone past the point where we could find anybody that would be willing to volunteer to do this without a contract, because, it is a full time position. He said that the answer is that whoever does this, if they stay an employee, is not likely to have a lot of time to do other things for the City at least that has not been their experience in the past. He said that we do have a part time employee in the Events department that had been working with Dawn and she is still employed. He has not given much thought to how her situation will work if we decide to contract out the position, but it probably would be going to some kind of a contractual relationship as well. He said that it would be a little difficult to manage to have an in house part time employee and then have a contractor running the coordination. Councilmember Barnhart said that he was one of the original Committee members as well as Chairman of the committee and said that it could be done with part time help, but our validity ' and our credibility skyrocketed when we had an employee doing it. He said that he is not particularly fond of doing away with the position, and suggested continuing the employee position this year, and discuss these options go through the budget cycle for the following year. kl 'Alta aql jo soaAoldma aq; pun ltounoD aql uaam;aq digsuot;elan Supuom aq; o; loodsaz gltm lndut jjtls lag o; oslu puu `osiazaxo o; paou am sl000lozd ' oq;3o autos grim sanloszno lutunbou pue `zoAuW aq; `szagmauxliouno3 aq;;o satlnp aql maiAaz o; sg;uom;o aldnoo lxau aql utq;im lt,az;az l3u;S-Itouno� a ueld o; aKEI pinom aq pins 4ou7 zoSvw -uotlt,Salap aql peal of ltounoD uiozd auoamos o3VI pinom oq imp po;u;s OH •1i3o azt,me on oldood os pzom oql a;ouioid of isaq nagl Sutop pun szauueq Suiuunz uaaq suq dnoxS A;cD zalsiS oql ;uql mou3I aq luq; plus Aovj zoAvW •Atpol otpug adX uo dul AII3 za;s!S umusiW aql Sat;omozd a mm mnasnlnl AaIIeA aago;euaM aq; m09 AauaamS augnud pue aqs wqj polels lznoDoW zaquiaxupounoD •oral zo)Iaam;xau aq; ut uinl louluoo o; palsazalut azam Aag;31 ItounOD pax;su aH '9Z-LI ;snSnV siq; umusryq of o8 Ipm ;uq; uoiluSalop oq;;o uot;euuo3 aql zo3 suotltatldde Sunle; 3o ss000zd aq; ut AllMunO st uotlutoossV AID MISS emt,sIW AaIIsA aago;eMM aql plus Aot•I zoAeyq •uol;t,zapisuoo io3 ltounoa of xlouq It Sutzq nag; Pue li m pa;saza;ut aq ;g8im ogm o; su d;tununuoo aq; ut sownbu► amos axlem pue ;uoma8uu.ne lenloezluoo a Sutguxp pa;soSBns Aou-I zoAtlnl •lotzluoo oql Axl sn oas o; a3M Plnom oq lrli pa;t;s qwW xaqumtajpunoD •;t gltm 31ot;s pinoqs am uaaq; of;nuuzoo op am31 imp st main sig pun ooAoldma lug; of palliuRuoo axe am IuII sTngl oq ooAoldma uu anq am aouo legl poppy aH ';aBPnq Z IOZ aqI ut popnlout uaaq suq It st `aneg om su onutluoo of A- tD aql uo uopmq Ietouuug a ;ou st ;t puu Tuplzom uaaq suq It imp uotlisod s.pvquxeg zagmaugtouno3 ipm ongusip lou swop aq imp plus OH votgsu3 amos ut aaAoldu-m juq; asn uuo om moq s;nut( osle lE pue aunlxano3o uoillsod t, olut sn s;nd gocq� •Ana aql mpm uotlisod ;uamaStuem t aq ;ouuuo `palnitlsuoo Alluosazd st It su uot;isod siq; ;t,gl sn pauuo3ut uotsstu moD suot;ula-d aaAoldmg otlgnd oql su `onsst uotun aq; st pu000s aq; pun `onsst amtuano oql Sutaq ouo `loez;uoo u jo zone; ut suostaz kismud om; axam azagl pins Aou-I zoAelnl -sum umu(I su luagipp su aq P[nom zoloez;uoo oql xaq;agm mou3I;ou PEP aq pue loll poppu OH •lgauoq alinq t, sum sanatlaq aq gargm alels aq; nano lle pU9 eaze sigl3o apislno Sut;omozd 3o lol u pip umu(I lug; azume st aq su sluana aql 3o Sut;omozd 3o AIEEEgisuodsaz aql gum paSzugo aq P1no3 luou4mclaP jugj ut Al;uasazd uoszad aural lied ogl3E po3pu quud zagmaugtaunoD •sooS It moq oas put, siseq lenlot,zluoo t, uo Ail u It SutniS yoddns pinom oq ;uql poppt, aH •Icgssaoons oq ;t oVw of uosxad ;q8u oql st Butt; ;uulzodmt aq; pins aH -Az; t, not;un;ts louzluoo aql ant8 of poutlout sum oq os `Ilam luom ;t aaAoldma aun; lln3 a puq am uagm put °I;am luam l[ puiluoo u puq am uagm `llam loam ;l szaalunloA aql peq am uagm axtl szlool ;t m[q of `;utod u aVm of aTI pinom oq lugl plus uosugor xaqumugtouno3 'imp PEP;snf aq azo;aq lt3o sloodsu Ile;uan of luuuodun sum It jonoq; oq;nq aznl aq; 03lem ueo am pus laSpnq aql u[ ;t aneq op am Wq; pins OH •lt llnu3 l,uuo aq pun guides sum oq lugm sa;etoazddu aq lnq `)xom pinom ;g8noq; oq leq; loezluoo t dolanap put aunt stq a)Ie; pinom aq louzluoo u q;tm pzemzo3 o8 of uotloanp aql uitq ane8 Aaq; 3t Imp pins Aoe-; zoAvW ZIoz `oI A2IVf]NVf SgInI N'IIONfIOO aaH3,LVNUA ISVH 10 A D CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 10, 2012 1 1 Mayor Lacy appointed Councihnembers to represent the following organizations: Abbr.
