St. Cloud Yo-Tech has a program in <br />this profession. The city is looking to fill an entry-level position and it would <br />be nice to have someone come out of the St. Cloud school with on the job <br />experience, but this typically is not the case. Chief Operator Gary Leirmoe <br />and WWTS Operator Austin Whitford interviewed three applicants on <br />Thursday and are recommending their top candidate be hired. <br /> <br />. The beginning date of employment would be January 3,2000, at Step 9 of the <br />pay plan, which would be $12.34 per hour. The council should note that this <br />essentially is Darrell Mack's replacement with Gary receiving a promotion and <br />the hiring another operator to bring the total manpower in the department <br />back to four. Unfortunately, even with this addition we will still be one man <br />short and Gary would like to wait until February to advertise for this other <br />position with the possibility of hiring someone with more on the job experience. <br />At this point Gary has chosen to not try to break in two new employees at the <br />same time. <br /> <br />Please see the attached memo from Chief Operator Gary Leirmoe regarding <br />his recommendation for this position. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
