REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />TO ITEM NUMBER <br />Ma or and Ci Council 3.4. <br />AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY <br />Consent Aril 4, 2011 Bradle Rolfe, Police Chief <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By <br />Authorization to Advertise for the Position of Lauren Wi er, HR Re resentative <br />Secretary/Receptionist REVIEWED BY <br /> Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />The Police Department is requesting Council authorization to advertise for the position of <br />Secretary/Receptionist, which will be vacant May 31, 2011. <br />BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION <br />'The Police Department currently employs two staff members in this capacity. They share the duties of <br />receptionist and transcriptionist. They are responsible for many essential duties such as: greeting visitors, <br />answering phones, taking initial reports, monitoring communications systems, and administering and <br />tracking several department programs. They are also responsible for the majority of the typing duties, <br />which includes officer reports and transcribing statements. <br />We have received written notification that Karen Vernon, who currently holds one of these positions, will <br />retire effective May 31, 2011. Karen, who has served the City for over 14 years, will be greatly missed for <br />exceptional typing skills, positive attitude, and attention to detail. <br />The Police Department seeks authorization to advertise and receive applications to facilitate replacement <br />of this position. We are entering into the busiest time of year for the department and would like to be able <br />to replace Karen with little or no delay. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />There is no expected financial impact on the City. This position has been budgeted for in 2011 at Pay <br />Grade 3, Step E. It is expected that the replacement employee would start at Pay Grade 3, but at a lesser <br />step, thus allowing the City to realize a savings. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />None <br />ACt1017 Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\04042011\PD Receptionist.docx <br />
