Ms. Mezera-Kerr has accepted a position as the Livonia <br />Township Clerk. At first she thought that the part time nature of being the Township <br />Clerk would allow her to keep her position with the City of Elk River. However, the two <br />jobs combined with having small children is proving to be too time consuming for her. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Ms. Mezera-Kerr's duties with the city include: <br />. the city's refuse collection franchise <br />. recycling coordinator <br />. Energy City tours <br />. aiding the Economic Development Coordinator <br />. nuisance complaints <br /> <br />Laurie is a valued member of the Building and Zoning Department, but one way or the <br />other, the Department will not be able to retain her in a full time position. Instead of <br />loosing her all together, I propose to allow her to work part time. Working an average of <br />20 hours per week, Laurie would continue her duties with refuse collection, recycling and <br />Energy City tours. The hiring of an assistant to the Economic Development Coordinator <br />should resolve staffing needs in that department currently covered by Ms. Mezera-Kerr. <br />This leaves only nuisance complaints of Laurie's current duties that needs to be <br />addressed. <br /> <br />There is historically a great deal of turnover in the position that deals with nuisance <br />complaints. Laurie is in the process of surveying other communities to see who handles <br />these issues and how. Some possible options include: <br />. Police Department enforcement <br />. hiring an entry level person to handle nuisance complaints and assume they will <br />bum out after a year or so <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />\ \elkriver\sys\shrdoc\b&z\stever\camascup.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
