I am happy to recommend Kelsi McNutt to be the next Director of Parks and Recreation. 

Kelsi comes to us from the City of Chaska, where she has held the position of Community Center Manager for five years. Previous to that Kelsi served in multiple other roles for other recreational departments and agencies focusing on many aspects of recreation including facilities management, special events and programming, and aquatics programming. 

Kelsi holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Colorado State University, is a Certified Public Manager through Hamline University, and holds many other recreation and first aid oriented certifications. Her extensive and well-rounded experience would be a great asset to our community.
