Today was the first day of work for our new Director of Parks & Recreation, Jay Lotthammer. That’s Jay in the background. He’s seen here meeting with Parks & Natural Resources Manager Stu Fox. Stu was briefing Jay on his 25+ years of park development and management experiences in Eden Prairie. Jay was listening and learning.
Jay has big shoes to fill. Bob Lambert had a large presence here for 29 years. He got a lot done, and he did it well. Jay comes to us from the City of Brooklyn Park, MN where he was their Parks & Recreation Director. Jay worked in Brooklyn Park for 17+ years starting at the very bottom of the organization and working his way all the way up to the top spot in 2005.
We’re excited to have Jay on board. I think he’s going to do great work here.
