The facility will soon be under construction with an <br /> estimated opening of mid-2020. <br /> We wish to continue this temporary position until our complete staffing needs in the new facility are <br /> better understood. However any employee, seasonal or temporary,by Public Employees Retirement <br /> Association (PERA) rules beyond six months must participate in the retirement program. Further, federal <br /> law also requires health insurance options under Affordable Care Act. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> The temporary position is funded with funds allocated for the senior programmer position which is also <br /> budgeted for in 2020. <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 INAMIRE1 <br />
