e e e 1994 Staffing Needs 6/30/93 Page 3 Conference and I am feeling like I am beginning to fall behind in current management trends and issues and this is not a good situation or beneficial to the City of Elk River. It is anticipated that the 1994 starting base pay for this position would be about $29,000 per year. This would put the position on par with the Building Inspector. Total compensation would approach $36,000 per year in 1994. From an overall City Management point of view, this is the most important staff addition that is needed in 1994. 1/4 Time Finance Clerk Position (Brenda) Brenda is currently working about 32 hours per week and, of this total, 10 hours is, in theory, applied to administration. In reality, she is working almost all 32 hours in the Finance Department. We may need to have Brenda apply 40 hours per week to the Finance Department to help address some of the needs identified during the City Audit presentation. These additional hours should allow the City to adequately handle the special assessment searches which was a main issue discussed during the Audit presentation. We cannot afford to have a part time additional person added to handle special assessment searches. Between Brenda and Joan, they should be able to handle these special assessment searches. The revenue for special assessments is already in the budget, so to indicate that we could finance a part time position with the special assessment revenues is true, but it would reflect a need for additional tax revenues as we are already using this special assessment revenue for financing some of the existing Clerk position in the Finance department. Increasing Brenda's time by 8 hours per week on 1/1/94 would cost the City about $5,600 in 1994. This money does not need to be in the budget as a personnel expense, but should be listed as a possible City Council Contingency fund expense as the Council may need to authorize this extra 8 hours per week sometime in 1994. 1/2 Time General Clerical Position (Geryl) The City has a need for more clerical help throughout the City offices. In this regard we are requesting that Geryl be increased from a part time 20 hours per week status to full time 40 hours per week status. We really need 32 hours per week on 1/1/94 and will evaluate the need for the additional 8 hours per week throughout the year. This would allow Geryl to fill in as necessary for vacations and to provide additional administrative clerical support for Lori, Sandy, Bill, and myself. This will especially be needed if Brenda works only in the Finance Department. Additionally, Geryl will be able to provide back up services for Cathy in the Building, Zoning, and Planning areas. Geryl also currently backs up Debbie at the receptionist desk when she is gone for breaks and vacations and
