As an acknowledgement, we realize sharing the esteemed councilman's proposal constitutes a vicious personal attack against his outstanding reputation. We are indeed sorry for stooping to this despicable level, but here we go;
The Department of Parks and Recreation shall be headed by the Director of Parks and Recreation. No person shall be appointed Director of Parks and Recreation unless they have been actively engaged on a full-time basis as a Director or similar level in Parks and Recreation activities for a minimum period of ten (10) years or more prior to his/her appointment. In addition, an individual appointed to the position of Director of Parks and Recreation must have at least a Bachelor’s Degree in Parks Administration, Public Administration, Sports Management or similar degree from an accredited institution of higher learning, plus have supervised a minimum of twenty-five (25) employees at one time. A Master’s Degree in Park or Recreation Administration or Public Administration is preferred.
The question becomes one of whether or not current Parks Czar Doug Nist is qualified to keep his job under Larry Slagle's New World Order for Parks.
We realize this is how they may do things in Brunswick, but is Nist out the door in Tigertown?
It is well known that former Parks Czar and Cicchinelli loyalist Kenn Kaminski would love to return to the City of Champions.
It would also appear these qualifications were tailor made for just one person.
Is this recently passed ordinance just a mechanism, a rubric so to say, to return Kaminski to his former post, adding one more Cicchinelli loyalist into the mix as we prepare the groundwork for the Extraordinary One's triumphant return as our Once and Future Mayor for Life?
Our guess is that the chess pieces are already being moved around the board.
And we imagine the result will be nothing less than extraordinary.
