A.( -\.( ( II .Y11, E fi. River ITEM 9. TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCI FROM: PAT KLAERS, CITY DATE: JULY 23, 1993 SUBJECT: PERSONNEL ISSUES At this 7/26/93 meeting, the Council has indicated it would like to continue the discussion that was started during the 7/12/93 meeting on the topic of personnel additions for 1994. The minutes from this 7/12 meeting are enclosed within this agenda packet for your review. Additionally, please review the material that was distributed with the 7/12 packet that outlined some personnel issues for 1994. e The Police staffing needs for 1994 appear to have been resolved at the 7/12/93 meeting, in that, in later 1993 a D.A.R.E. officer and an additional officer will be hired provided that the D.A.R.E. officer is financed through the D.A.R.E. To Build a House program. Additionally, ten extra hours were added to the CSO part time position to make this position full time. This will assist the department in providing additional clerical support. As indicated in the Chief's memo that was distributed with the 7/12 packet, these extra ten hours will not be added until 1994. Police needs for 1995 will have to be evaluated a year from today when we are looking at the 1995 budget. Also on 7/12, the City Council reviewed the fire inspections program and personnel needs associated with this program. The Council directed the Fire Chief to do some additional research on this program and to report back to the Council at a later date. I believe that Russ will have some information for the 7/26 meeting and that this discussion should take place in conjunction with the housing inspections program which is anticipated to be within the Building and Zoning Department. e The final personnel issue discussed on 7/12 was the Street/Park Department. On 7/12 the Council concurred to add additional part time help for summer maintenance and to delay any hiring of a full time employee until 1995 as long as it did not affect the snow plowing operation. No new employee is needed for the 1993/94 snowplowing season, but I would like to correct a statement that I made at the 7/12 meeting and indicate that a new full time person will likely be needed before the 1994/95 snow season. This means that an individual would need to be hired in the fall of 1994 and included in the 1994 Streets budget. This is different than what I indicated to the Council at the 7/12 meeting. Beyond Council reviewing what took needs to review place at staffing the 7/12 meeting, the needs within the P.O.
