Park District Agrees to Settlement Over Harassment Complaint
The Carbondale Park District disclosed a settlement with Michael Day, head golf operations manager, detailing pay increases effective July 1, 2004 and back wages totaling 21,487 with 11,487 already paid and 10,000 due by January 15, 2005. Day’s name was released by the Illinois Department of Human Rights, though the district says the deal does not admit fault. Commissioners cited lack of a current policy manual as a key issue and directed Park District Director Richard Grant to fix governance or risk contract termination.
