<br />other than those that are currently planned for. There are two engineering technicians in the <br />budget. We recently interviewed for one of those positions and pending a background <br />check, are prepared to make an offer of employment. Once that first position is filled, I <br />would envision the second position being filled as quickly as possible, so that by the end of <br />2007 we would have a full complement of city-employed engineering technicians. <br /> <br />As you are aware, John Anderson is my assistant through BDM. John's time is almost <br />entirely billed to city projects and/or developer type work; therefore, there is no impact on <br />the general fund budget. If I were to fill the role of Public Works Director, I would see John <br />being able to maintain the current work load with no additional support staff. Staff provided <br />through BDM to assist John and myself are on a project-by-project basis. Currently, with <br />two street reconstruction projects going on, the consultant pool is at a high point. It is <br />anticipated that next year will be an off year for construction, and the results being the <br />consultant pool being cut back to the minimum required, based on completion of city <br />projects and projected developer work. <br /> <br />I would ask for an opportunity to discuss this proposal further with you and the City <br />Council at a mutually convenient time. Should you have any questions regarding this <br />proposal, please contact me. <br /> <br />S:\Engineer\2007 memos\Public Works Director.doc <br />
