Received
The Town of Wappinger Recreation Dept. is notifying the Supervisor and Town Board that
Stephanie Kovalsky, a part time secretary in the department has handed in her resignation, effective
June 30, 2011.
I Mark Price am requesting approval from the Town Board for the creation of a full time (35 hours
per week) position for the current part time secretary in the Recreation Department, Donna Lenhart.
It is my opinion that the efficiency of the office would be better suited to one full time employee. We
are approaching our busiest part of the programming year with the start of summer programmimz and
it is also my opinion to spend the several weeks looking for part time replacement for Stephanie
Kovalsky would severally hamper the level of service the Recreation Department . Donna Lenhart is
a natural selection for the full time position in that she is aware of the day to day operations of the
office, currently working part time in it.
One last consideration of the Supervisor and Board would be that Donna Lenhart as a full time
employee would be entitled
I to health and dental benefits. She is currently covered under another plan
so there would be a savings to the town by offering the position to her. '
As the Recreation Director for the Town of Wappinger I would officially recommend Donna Lenhart
to the position of full time recreation department secretary.
Thank You,
Mark Price
Recreation Director
