City approves contract to hire tennis pro - Baldwin County NOW - A Gulf Coast Information Source for South Alabama: "GULF SHORES, Ala. — Gulf Shores City Council approved a contract in a special called meeting Monday for the hire of a tennis pro.

*
Originally advertised last summer, hiring a tennis pro was put on hold due to budget constraints. Mayor pro tem Carolyn Doughty said prior to the meeting the tennis pro will act as an independent contractor rather than a city employee, which means he will receive a flat fee and will not receive city employee benefits. According to the agreement, the tennis pro will make an annual salary of $22,500 and will keep 80 percent of the lesson fees. The remaining 20 percent will be passed over to the city. The new hire will also be responsible with helping tennis coordinator Jean Coberly with lessons, schedule tennis tournaments and oversee maintenance of the new courts."
