SUMMARY: Parks is requesting the ability to spend ds from a different category than was
initially approved. During the recruitment and selectio process for the Park Development Planner
position, the most qualified candidate opted to rema' at his current position after being offered the
job. Ofthe remaining candidates, none had the re isite mix of both long range planning skills needed
to undertake the 2006 park plan update; and the xperience to perform the site design, bidding, grant
and construction management skills required the postion. The timeframe for the plan update (June
2007) does not allow for training of someo within the existing candidate pool or provide enough
time to readvertise the position to recruit n w applicants. Parks staff recommend using the salary and
benefits funding for the Park Planner to tain contracted services needed to carry out the workload of
the position until such time as the as th job can be peremanently filled with a qualified individual.
The contracted services option also g' es the City ability to draw upon the resources of a~oc I /
business that have completed park an updates for Kitsap County and other public j risdict" ns.
