[OMS_MANAGERS] City employee?

[Business Outreach & Community Coordinator]

Hello Kelly,

I work for Gold Beach Main Street as a part time staff person (30 hours per
week).  Currently, and in the past two years, this position has been
half-funded by the City of Gold Beach's Urban Renewal Agency since both the
URA and our Main Street program have similar goals. The position is
technically a split one, but the city had enough office people for the
amount of work it needed once the pandemic hit, so my work wasn't really
necessary on their behalf.  Though there is a Memorandum of Understanding
between both parties and a general description of responsibilities, there
has been less City work than originally planned. I fill in when needed
(answering phone calls, doing general city business, directing people to
proper departments, etc) and help do things like stuff monthly bills.

I think the biggest purpose I serve is as the bridge to both parties, as I
act as the liaison. The few hours I do spend a week on City work doesn't
affect my Main Street duties, and since the City has enough staffing they
don't have a particular requirement on how many hours a week I do for
them.  The City has been very generous for our Main Street program and they
also provide the office space, office supplies and support to get things
done.

Let me know if you want to talk about it more, I can also send the
Memorandum of Understanding and some of the position information!

Best,

Lyndsey
