Re: Tourism Program Coordinator Job Description and Cost
On June 29, 2026, Commissioner Dudley-Nollette requested development of a draft
Tourism Program Coordinator job description. The purpose of the position is to assist with
program management, administration and support of Jefferson County tourism, marketing
and economic development in collaboration with the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
(LTAC) and the Tourism Coordinating Council (TCC). The position cost is proposed to be
supported by a grant from LTAC to the TCC.
Attached is a draft Tourism Program Coordinator Job Description. While based on a similar
job description developed in 2024, this draft description focuses on tourism program and
marketing consultant management. The position would be located in the County
Administrator's Office and report to the County Administrator.
Based on a review of positions both within and external to Jefferson County, the
recommended wage rate is UFCW Grade 30- a union covered position eligible for benefits.
The current annual cost for a 0.5 FTE at Grade 30, Step 1 is $42,980.08.
For more granular detail, the current annual cost for wages and benefits for both a 1.0 FTE
and 0.5 FTE is detailed below:
UFCW Grade 30
Step 1 Step 8
Hourly $31.79 $39.10
Monthly $5,510.27 $6777.33
Annual $66,123.20 $81,328.00
