<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 8.1 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />General Business November 2, 2020 Lauren Wipper, Human Resources Manager <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Senior Administrative Assistant Position Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director <br />Description and Promotion <br />Reviewed by <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Approve, by motion, the Senior Administrative Assistant position description for the Parks and Recreation <br />Department. <br /> <br />Approve, by motion, promoting Dawn Larson into the Senior Administrative Assistant position retroactive to <br />October 12, 2020. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />With the recreation manager resignation and the promotion of a recreation coordinator to the Furniture and <br />Things Community Event Center Superintendent, some holes remain in the department. With minimal <br />programing and events due to the Coronavirus Pandemic we have been able to redirect workloads to fill in basics. <br />One of our part-time recreation assistants (24 hrs./wk.) has increased her hours and has demonstrated the ability <br />to provide support for the department in the interim. We would like to change her position to senior <br />administrative assistant to assist the director which is more reflective of the work needed and what she has done. <br /> <br />Ms. Larson would continue to work at the front desk in the morning and be the primary backup to the front desk <br />in the afternoon. Ms. Larson would be working primarily on projects assigned to her by Mr. Hecker in the <br />afternoon hours and may work on them in the mornings while at the front desk. Assisting customers at the front <br />desk will continue to be her main duty throughout the day. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Ms. Larson’s current position is in pay grade 6N. The senior administrative assistant position is in pay grade 4N <br />and would be 40 hours per week. We would not backfill the part-time position. Ms. Larson would begin at step A <br />of pay grade 4N. All other pay and benefits are consistent with city policy. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Senior Administrative Assistant position description <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br /> Updated: August 2020 <br />
