Re: Hiring Fetch for Taco Daze Dodge Ball Tournament Referee
Background:
The City Council approved advertising and interviewing for Taco Daze dodge ball tournament
referees at its June 17, 2014 meeting as recommended by the Parks and Recreation Committee. Staff
received one application for the position. The Parks and Recreation Committee recommended four
referees for the tournament. Three Committee members volunteered to referee the tournament.
Issue:
Who should the City Council hire for the Taco Daze dodge ball tournament referee position?
Proposal Details:
The Parks and Recreation Committee is recommending hiring Jacob Fetch for the dodge ball
tournament referee position. Fetch resides in Forest Lake and his wife is from the Scandia area.
Fiscal Impact:
The rate of pay for the dodge ball referee position is $10 per hour. The tournament usually lasts
approximately 6 hours. The anticipated expense would be $60. There is a balance of $366
remaining for "Events" in the General Fund that would cover this expense.
Options:
1) Approve hiring Fetch at a rate of $10 per hour for the dodge ball tournament referee
position.
2) Approve hiring Fetch at a different rate of pay for the dodge ball tournament referee
position.
3) Approve hiring another person for the dodge ball tournament referee position.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
