If approved, Ms. Schwecke would <br />start at step A. <br /> <br />Backlround/Discussion <br />Connie Schwecke has been working for the Street Division since shortly after the division's previous <br />Office Assistant left in 2005. At that time, Administrative Assistant Sara Onarheim, increased her weekly <br />hours and it was felt that the work load could be handled with Ms. Schwecke helping out with sign- <br />making a few hours each week. Ms. Schwecke's work load has evolved since then and she is now <br />performing the duties of office assistant and working regular hours. <br /> <br />Because this position was vacant at the time the pay plan study was performed, it was never reviewed and <br />placed in the pay plan. The position description has been updated and reviewed by the Personnel <br />Committee for placement in the pay plan at pay grade 3. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Terry Maurer is recommending Connie Schwecke be hired for the Office <br />Assistant position at 20 hours per week. This is a regularly scheduled position and would receive <br />vacation, sick and holiday leave benefits. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Forty hours were budgeted for clerical work for 2007. When part-time Street Maintenance Operator <br />Jerry Mackendanz retired, an additional 4 hours were allocated for sign making. As well, there are <br />additional funds remaining from Jerry's retirement that have not been allocated elsewhere. This position <br />is included in the 2008 budget. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />· Office Assistant position description <br />· Memo from Public Works Director Terry Maurer <br /> <br />C: \Documents and Settings \jjohmon \Loca1 Settings\ Temporary Internet Files \ OLK49\Council Merno-RF A-Street Office Asst.doc <br />
