Sheldon, Iowa — At the last Sheldon City Council meeting, the committee charged with looking into how the new Crossroads Pavilion should be managed, asked the Council to hire a manager as a full time City employee. They told the Council they also felt that a new Board should be created for the overall monitoring and supervision of the Pavilion operation. After much discussion, the Council asked the committee to come to the next meeting with a proposed job description for their review. The committee has a five page job description which will be discussed at the council meeting this Wednesday, December 21st. The job description outlines a detailed list of expected qualifications and duties of applicants for the position. It outlines the Management Responsibilities, Sales and Marketing duties, employee training, financial management, Building and Facilities Management, and required Education and/or Experience of the applicant. The Council hopes to move quickly toward filling this position since the projected opening date of the Pavillion is September 1st, 2017, and the City is already getting calls from people who are interested holding their event in the facility.
At Wednesday’s meeting there will also be a discussion about approval of an agreement with consultants to help with planning for the operation of the events center.
In other business, the Council will consider approval of an engineering agreement on airport snow removal equipment, and set the date and time for a public hearing on a budget amendment for the fiscal year 2016-2017.
