New Community Center Staffing - Dan Rodgerson
The district plans to advertise
for these positions in coordination
with the estimated construction
completion deadline. In
addition, the district will hire
approximately 75 to 100 additional
staff for positions such
as lifeguards, swim instructors,
cashiers, fitness instructors,
janitors, child care attendants
and climbing wall attendants.
“We anticipate the same
challenge as everyone else in
the community in regards to
fi nding quality staff, but feel the
center will be a fun environment
to work. A particular challenge
will be finding lifeguards, since
the new aquatics area is more
than twice the size of our current
pool,” said Dan Rodgerson.
For additional information
regarding the center contact the
recreation district at 781-0982.

Uintah Recreation center work continues Despite Weather - Dan Rodgerson
The construction of the new Uintah Community Center at 500 South Vernal Ave. is moving
forward. Frigid temperatures along with the excessive snowfall have slowed the process.
“We are pushing as hard as we can but the weather has not cooperated,” said Doug Miller, the project superintendent from Layton Construction.
“Many of the milestones have been met including the completion of the parking lots, two pools
and the basketball gym – and the stonework on the front of the building is taking shape,” said Dan Rodgerson, executive director of the Uintah Recreation Special Service District. “With all
the designs approved and ready to go, the next large install will be the climbing wall and to enclose the building.”
