Participating in the interviews were Jeremy Barnhart, Jeff Beahen, Tim <br />Simon, Sherburne County Public Works Director John Mentor, and me. Following interviews and <br />background checks, we are pleased to recommend Justin Femrite for the position. Mr. Femrite is an <br />Elk River resident; in fact, before this position was even advertised, he attended several City Council <br />meetings earlier this year. He is currently employed by Bolton and Menk in the Ramsey office and is <br />working on our 2010 Overlay Improvement Project. He has worked in several cities serving as a <br />consulting city engineer, assistant engineer and project manager. <br />Financial Impact <br />This cost of this staff position will supplant current consulting city engineering charges. The majority of <br />the cost of this position will be funded as it presently is through project, storm water, and enterprise <br />funds with an estimated quarter of the cost being charged to the general fund engineering budget. <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />S:\Public Bodies\CouncIl\Loxi\2010\Ciry Engineer Hiring.doc <br />
