The Stansbury Service Agency Board of Directors approved a revised job posting for a General Manager during a special meeting held on Monday, September 14, 2026, according to meeting minutes published September 24.
Board members met at 1 Country Club Drive, Suite 1, in Stansbury Park to review and modify the requirements and descriptions for the organization's top full-time position.
During the meeting, the board discussed revisions to the job description for the General Manager position. John Wright raised concerns regarding the use of the term chief executive officer to describe the role. While Kyle Shields noted that existing agency policy identifies the General Manager as the chief executive officer, and General Manager Jim Hanzelka noted that state documents use the same term, the board agreed to omit the wording in the posting.
Instead, the board approved language stating that the full-time position is responsible for supervising day-to-day operations, projects, and other requirements as directed by the Stansbury Service Agency Board of Directors. This change was supported by John Wright and Brett Palmer.
The board also modified the experience requirements for the role. Following a suggestion by Kyle Shields, the board agreed to change the requirement from two years of managerial experience within six years of related-field experience to four years of experience in a related field, four of which must be in a managerial role.
The board decided to leave the provision regarding ten years of progressively responsible experience in lieu of a degree as written. Additionally, the board discussed the advertised salary range of $90,000 to $135,000. While John Wright raised questions regarding total compensation and a vehicle, Jim Hanzelka clarified that a vehicle was not included in the current posting.
The special meeting was called to order by Wayne Nielson at 6:30 pm. In addition to board members Kyle Shields, Wayne Nielson, Kasey Nobles, John Wright, and Brett Palmer, staff members present included Jim Hanzelka, Ingrid Swenson, and Shawn Chidester. The motion to approve the revised job posting was made by Kasey Nobles, seconded by Wayne Nielson, and passed unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:16 pm following a motion by Kyle Shields and a second by Kasey Nobles, with the motion passing unanimously.
