ity of MEMORANDUM River FROM: Mayor and City Council Sandra Thackeray, City Clerk DATE: March 2, 1998 SUBJECT: Request for Additional Clerical Staff for Building and Zoning Department As Steve Rohlf explained in his memo, the Building and Zoning Department is requesting additional clerical staff to cover peak building periods. The department has grown to the point where one clerical staff person is not sufficient to cover all the needs of the public and the department on a day-to-day basis. Currently the Building/Zoning (BZ) Department has one full time clerical staff person (Geryl Rogers) and one half time clerical staff (8:00 - 12:30) divided by two people (Sara Onarheim and Joni Pearson). The Department is requesting additional clerical assistance from 12:30 - 4:30 to assist during the building season which is approximately from April - November. We are proposing to contract with a temporary service for this position. The actual plan is to have the city's existing receptionist (Tina Allard) work in the BZ Dept. from 12:30 - 4:30 from April - November and to have the contracted temporary employee work as the city's receptionist. This will allow Tina to get hands on experience in the building department. The hands on experience will help in providing a more well-rounded, diversified clerical staff. We are proposing that the temporary employee work at the receptionist desk approximately 20-25 hours per week. The city's cost to implement this plan would be in the range of approximately $9,000 to pay for the temporary employee for an 8 month period. ACTION REQUESTED Council authorization to hire a clerical staff person through a temporary agency to work from April - November from 12:30 - 4:30. CLERICAL SCHEDULE 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
