".-.~~,. 
This bill proposes to allow seasonal employees of Baxter State Park Authority to be paid for unused vacation and 
overtime at the end of the ~eason. This bill would result in Other Special Revenue Funds net savings to the Baxter 
State Park Authority of $6,795 beginning in fiscal year 2009-10 by eliminating the need to hire a roving ranger 
position to fill in while vacation time is taken. 
The additional costs to adopt rules concerning seasonal employees of the Baxter State Park Authority can be absorbed 
by the Department of Administrative and Financial Services utilizing existing budgeted resources.
