MEMORANDUM Item 5.0 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Phil Hals, Street/Park Superintendent April 30, 2001 Street/Park Discussion PERSONNEL The Street/Park Department has a vacant position for a Laborer that was identified in the 2001 budget. I would ask for City Council approval to hire a Maintenance I Worker instead of a Laborer. In the short term a part time "summer" worker could fill the Laborer position. Our needs for a Maintenance I Worker will be increased because of an anticipated 12 week maternity leave for one of our employees. Hiring a Maintenance I person now would fill the need for a summer worker immediately while allowing us to have another trained operator ready for an additional snowplow route this coming fall. Last November, when we did the interviews for the Maintenance I position, we had a person who finished a very strong second place. If the Council would permit me to hire for the Maintenance I position instead of the Laborer position, I would ask permission to offer the job to the previously interviewed second place candidate. The wage I would recommend is Pay Grade 8, Level A or $12.44 per hour. The funds for this position have been budgeted at a Laborer rate but the later hire date should more than compensate for some of the higher recommended wage. OFFICE ASSISTANT I A position for one part time Office Assistant I was provided for in the 2001 budget. I would request City Council approval to advertise for this position. I plan to have two part time office workers job share because of the increased workload. MECHANIC Our shop move and expansion would take the better part of the summer, so I would propose that we use present employees to fill the need for the third mechanic on a temporary basis until early winter, then advertise and select the third mechanic to be hired on January 1, 2002.
