<div dir="ltr">Hello Kelly,<br><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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!</div><div><br></div><div>Best, </div><div><br></div><div>Lyndsey</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><b>Lyndsey Dixon</b></div><div dir="ltr">Business Outreach & Community Coordinator | Gold Beach Main Street <br>541 247 7029 ext. 106 | <a href="http://goldbeachmainstreet.org" target="_blank">goldbeachmainstreet.org</a><br>PO Box 1203, Gold Beach, OR 97444</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Apr 1, 2021 at 3:23 PM Kelly Haverkate <<a href="mailto:kellyjhaverkate@gmail.com" target="_blank">kellyjhaverkate@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi All,<div>I'd love to hear from those of you who work, in some capacity, for the City you're in.
