RESOLUTION APPROVING INCREASING ICE ARENA COORDINATOR POSITON
FROM 0.75 FTE TO 1.0 FTE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, the Ames/ISU Ice Arena is primarily under the supervision of the Ice Arena
Manager. In the FY 2020/21 budget, a 0.75 FTE Ice Arena Coordinator position was added to
assist the Ice Arena Manager with recreation programs and services. Because of the long hours the
Ice Arena is open each day, it is not possible for one person to adequately supervise the parttime
staff at the facility. Therefore, the new Ice Arena Coordinator position is intended to also offset
the Manager's schedule to ensure the facility is providing quality customer service and ice during
the evening hours and weekends; and,
WHEREAS, increasing the Ice Arena Coordinator position to full time would reduce the
amount of temporary shift leaders needed during times of high utilization. A dedicated full-time
Ice Arena Coordinator would also provide consistency for user groups and patrons through the
enforcement of rules and policies, and also ice conditions and facility maintenance; and,
WHEREAS, in addition, a full-time Ice Arena Coordinator position would also provide a
more feasible succession plan for the Ice Arena Manager, and possibly other Recreation Managers
within the department, if a vacancy arose; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that increasing Ice Arena Coordinator position from 0.75 FTE to 1.0 FTE is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 25th day of June, 2024.
