<br /> <br />Item 7.1. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Lori johnson, Finance and Administrative Services Director <br /> <br />DATE: June 20, 2005 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Consider Westbound Staffing Issues; Consider Liquor Clerk I <br />Pay Adjustment <br /> <br />Consider Westbound Staffing Issues: <br />As you know, Westbound Liquor is scheduled to open in October. In anticipation of that <br />opening, Liquor Store Manager Dave Potvin has reviewed the staffmg needs at Westbound <br />and prepared the attached memo with his recommendations. These changes are requested <br />now so that staff can be in place on September 1 to begin training, stocking, and getting <br />ready for the October opening. <br /> <br />The recommendations include promoting Steve Tillman from Liquor Clerk III to Assistant <br />Liquor Store Manager at Westbound. Mike Donais will remain Assistant Liquor Store <br />Manager at Northbound. Second, an additional full time liquor clerk is needed at <br />Westbound so staff is requesting authorization to add a full time liquor clerk 1. Up to five <br />part time clerks will be also be added; however, this will change if any current part time <br />clerks from Northbound want to work additional hours or if Westbound is busier than <br />projected. <br /> <br />Consider Liquor Clerk I Pay Adiustment: <br />Dave Potvin is also requesting a change to the part time liquor clerk pay; his memo <br />explaining this issue in more detail is attached. Currendy, part time liquor clerks are classified <br />as liquor clerk 1 which is pay grade one on the city's pay plan. Because of recent changes in <br />pay plan, the city's pay for retail clerk exceeds the current market for both private and public <br />retail operations. The request is to treat part time liquor clerks similar to other part time <br />employees in that their pay would be part of the annual compensation resolution approved <br />by the Council instead of being part of the pay plan. The suggested range for new part time <br />liquor clerks is $8.14 to $11.57 per hour. All current part time liquor clerks will continue to <br />be paid as liquor clerk 1 in the city's pay plan. <br /> <br />Further, the liquor clerk III position will be eliminated if Mr. Tillman is promoted. This <br />position was created to include the purchasing duties for which he was responsible; however, <br />those duties are included in the assistant liquor manager position so the liquor clerk III <br />position is no longer needed. <br /> <br />s: \ Council \Lori\2005\ Westbound Staff mg. doc <br />
