TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor and Council <br /> <br />Phil Hals, Street/Park Superintendent <br />May 21, 2001 <br /> <br />Request to Hire Summer Employees <br /> <br />**Item 3.7.** <br /> <br />Part time employee Darwin Schuur is at $10.22 per hour for 2001. Returning summer <br />workers Sarah Hopko, Jeremy Pipenhagen, and Paul Kohler are moving to $9.60 per hour <br />for 2001 (Pay Grade 1 Step B). The two new hires will be at $8.44 per hour (Pay Grade 1 <br />Step A). These will all be funded with our present budget. <br /> <br />I am looking at every option to balance the summer workload with the available funding. <br />Amy Borst will be taking at least eight weeks of unpaid maternity leave in July and August <br />which will not only cause a park labor shortage but will provide about $5,500 in unused <br />personal service funds. <br /> <br />My staff and I interviewed three 18-year-old people and one semi-retired person for the two <br />summer park worker openings and found all four applicants to be good prospects. I ask <br />permission to hire all four of them, paying two with budgeted funds and two with the <br />unused personal service funds from Amy Borst's leave of absence. <br /> <br />All four employees would by paid at $8.44 per hour with the three 18-year-old people <br />working three months or until school starts and the semi-retired person working a little later <br />into the fall until the funding is exhausted. <br /> <br />If the Council has no objections, I will hire one worker to start immediately and the other <br />three to start on June 11, 2001. <br /> <br /> <br />
