Ms. Wingard was a key organizer for <br /> ElkRiverFest and the Farmer's Market. Increasing her hours provides more time to solicit event <br /> participants, additional sponsorship revenue and keeps her compliant with the Affordable Care Act with <br /> regard to average work hours per week and healthcare benefits. <br /> As the City Council was agreeable to the recommendation, the change is retroactive to the date of the <br /> date of the request. <br /> Increasing Ms. Wingard's hours to 32 per week also makes her eligible for prorated insurance benefits <br /> which will become effective August 1, 2018. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> Additional hours and benefits for the rest of 2018 increase costs by approximately$8,200. These costs <br /> will be partially offset by savings from the transition in the recreation assistant position that was filled <br /> earlier in the year. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ None <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAWRE1 <br />
