CONSTANCE O. SMITH
SUPERVISOR
To: Ralph Holt - Chairman Recreation Commission
From: Gerry di Piemo
Director of Recreation
Subject: Candidate for Director of Summer Camps
Date: April 3, 1997
Please be advised that on this date I interviewed one Maureen Ervin for the position of Director
of Summer Camp for the 1997 season. Ms Ervin is without a doubt superbly qualified for this position.
For once I had the pleasure of speaking to someone who not only comes with an abundance of credentials
but also the experience to lend credibility to them. In addition to the qualifications on her resume, (which
I have attached for your review rather than re-state them here), she informed me that she has also been a
co-ordinator and region~ director for the Catholic Archdiocese of New York CYO programs.
In keeping with the Town's long standing policy of securing the best possible help, I am urging
you to support her salary requirements, We find ourselves in a competitive environment for her services,
She informed me that she also interviewed at Casper Creek (the former IBM Country Club), and their
salary offer was $4,000 for the summer. However she also was quick to point out that she was not
impressed with their program. I bluntly informed her what my budget allocation was ($2,500). She
informed me at that point that if we could get her salary to $3,000 she would prefer to work for the Town.
It is in light of this discussion that I am requesting that we transfer funds to accommodate her. The
authorization to do so, I realize, must come from the Town Board, but where the money comes from is
ultimately yours and the commission's.
I know you recognize the importance of this position. The responsibility that the Town assumes
for the welfare of its children is self-evident and it is in the interest of the Town to secure the services of
the best possible person and I believe that Ms. Ervin is that person not only for this year bur for ensuing
years,
