• ~~` REQUEST FOR ACTION ~...4 .~.ver TO ITEM NUMBER Ma or and Ci Council 8.2 AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY General Business une 4, 2012 Cal Poxtner, Ci Administrator ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Temporary Environmental Assistant REVIEWED BY ACTION REQUESTED Approve the creation of a Temporary Environmental Assistant position. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Former Environmental Technician Nicki Blake-Bradley resigned her position with the city in late April for a new job. The position has been under review for the past month to see how best to meet the needs of the community. The Environmental Division currently has an intern through St. Cloud State University who recently graduated with an Environmental Planning Degree. The intern is compensated through a State of Minnesota grant. The grant position runs concurrently with the college semester and funding will be soon completed. With the full-time staff vacancy, the division's workload increasing due to seasonal needs, and ongoing contract negotiations, staff has requested to create a temporary seasonal position and fill it for the remainder of the year. The position would be funded with the unexpended salary and benefit money budgeted for the now-vacant technician position. The vacant technician position will remain under review until we have a better feel for the division's needs resulting from our MPCA stormwater permit and the pending consideration of a stormwater utility fee. FINANCIAL IMPACT The temporary position would be funded in 2012 with a portion of the unexpended salary and benefits budgeted for the Environmental Technician position. Funding in 2013 will be considered with the 2013 budget.
