Re: Supervision of Recreation Maintenance
Dear Joseph:
Recreation maintenance has been going through some tough day-to-day
supervisory problems.

Our present supervisor, Mr. Stephen Tompkins has been incapacitated for over
three (3) months. It is not known when and if he will be able to return.
Unfortunately, the person we would have requested to be moved into this
position, Mr. Robert Sheridan, has also been out on sick leave since August 9, 2005.
However, we have been very fortunate to have Mr. John Youngman in our group
and he has been filling in the role of Maintenance Supervisor. In light of this situation, I
request we recognize Mr. Youngman as the temporary Maintenance Supervisor and
provide some retro -active renumeration from the date he started to the time he is relieved.
In his time filling in, He has performed extremely well.
Since y,
Ralp J. Ho

Recreation Maintenance Supervisor Steve Tompkins has been unable to carry out the
supervisory position since July 15, 2005. This has caused a strain on the employees in
maintenance and continues to do so. Since it is not known when and if Mr. Tompkins
will return, I recommend the following action be taken:
1) Mr. Robert Sheridan should be paid retro -actively from the date he performed
as acting supervisor which was from July 15, 2005 to August 8, 2005.
2) Mr. John Youngman should be paid retro -actively from August 9, 2005 to
November 19, 2005. This would cover the period of time he served as acting
maintenance supervisor.
We should also proceed to raise Mr. Sheridan to the position of Acting Maintenance
Supervisor effective, November 20, 2005, and if the determination is, that Mr. Tompkins
is unable to return to the supervisory duties, Mr. Sheridan should be appointed the
permanent status of Maintenance Supervisor with the salary in line with the position.
I respectfully request your approval.
