The new Westland Parks and
Recreation Director began work
last month, immediately follow-
ing confirmation of his appoint-
ment by members of the city
council during a regularmeeting.
John Adams is no stranger to
the city, having retired from the
Westland Fire Department in
2014 where he was an assistant
fire chief/fire marshal. Most
recently, he had been working as
the chief executive officer of the
InksterFireDepartment.
In his new position, which is a
one-year mayoral appointment,
Adams will be paid $78,902 annu-
ally as a contract employee with
no medical or pension benefits.
He replaces Jessica Mistak
whose appointment was not
renewed by Mayor William Wild
inDecember.
Wild told the council mem-
bers during the meeting that his
selection of Adams was based on
the retired fire official's ability to
“get things done,” his education,
work ethic and the $70,000 cost
savings in hiring him as a con-
tract employee.
Adams' appointment had been
previously criticized by some res-
idents who claimed that his
appointment as parks and recre-
ation director would be double-
dipping as he currently collects a
pension from the city. Critics also
cited his lack of experience in
parks and recreation administra-
tion.
The
Local
Officials
Compensation Commission set
the salary for the parks and
recreation director at $103,000
plus benefits, an increase to the
city of $150,000, according to
Wild. Hiring Adams on the con-
tract basis saved the city close to
$70,000 annually, themayor said.
He said that Adams earned
his pension in the fire depart-
ment during his years of service
and would receive it no matter if
he everworked for the city again.
Audience members Bill
Campbell and Judy McKinney
repeated their criticisms of the
appointment, which they had
voiced at a previous meeting,
claiming that Adams was some-
how “double dipping” into city
coffers. Campbell said he was
told by the city clerk's office he
would have to file a Freedom of
Information Act request to see
the contract offered to Adams,
which members of the council
received the day of themeeting.
“Citizens have a right to see
the contract,” he said. “What are
you trying tohide?”
State Rep. Robert Kosowski,
D-Westland, was at the meeting
to support Adams' appointment.
Kosowski is a retired Westland
Parks
and
Recreation
Department director who said he
came specifically to support
Adams' appointment to the job.
Councilmen Kevin Coleman
and Peter Herzberg cast the only
no votes onAdams' confirmation.
