on vacation or taking care of family needs, she is responsible for making <br />arrangements and paying for replacement workers. In response to an inquiry <br />regarding changing the working relationship with Chris, she has indicated no <br />desire to expand her work contract or to become a city employee, and is <br />satisfied with her current contract. <br /> <br />I understand the goal that if the city is going to establish a building <br />maintenance department, then it is appropriate to have all the workers be city <br />employees and not contracted employees. However, we have an existing <br />relationship with a contracted worker that is going well for all parties. If <br />possible I would like to keep the existing relationship in place and, taking into <br />consideration Councilmember Thompson's comments about refining some of <br />the work duties that Sue currently undertakes, ask the City Council to simply <br />authorize the advertisement and hiring of a one-half time employee. If the city <br />cannot attract a good applicant by advertising for a half-time position, then I <br />will be back before the City Council to discuss a full time employee and <br />possibly changing our relationship with Zerwas Cleaning. On the other hand, <br />if we do find a good half-time employee, we will closely evaluate our workload <br />over the next six months and discuss with the council during the 2001 budget <br />process any necessary addition in hours. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that the city authorize the advertisement for a half-time <br />custodial position with a starting range between $10.50-$11.50 per hour. <br /> <br /> <br />
