City of Vandalia Alderman asked if Tourism Director position should be full time

A City of Vandalia Alderman asked during Monday’s meeting if they should think about making the Tourism Director position a full time gig.

During Monday’s meeting Alderman Ken Hubler–who is head of the Economic Development Committee–said they are beginning to advertise the position for a part-time Tourism Director.  Alderman Andy Lester mentioned the idea of it being a full time position and that sparked some discussion.

The position will pay $25 an hour and will work less than 1,000 hours per year.  And, as mentioned, might be able to build to full-time but the funds are not available at this time.
