“Last time we had this first reading, it was actually the recreation director assistant, and we changed it to recreation programmer as we feel it fits the duties of the position that we will be seeking a little bit better,” Alexandria City Administrator David Plummer said. “We see it being involved in activities in the park and the community center and such a title reflects that.”
