Mike has again advised me that he has no interest in this interim <br />position or in replacing Fritz on a long term basis. Attached for your <br />information is Mike's job description as the assistant liquor store manager. <br />Once Fritz's replacement has been hired and is on board for a while, then it <br />would be appropriate to reevaluate this position. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Consistent with City Council direction, Assistant City Administrator Lori <br />Johnson and I have interviewed Steve Tillmann and Brent Behrns. Both of <br />these full time liquor store clerks have 14 years experience at Northbound <br />working with both Mike and Fritz. I will have an acting liquor store <br />manager recommendation for the City Council on Tuesday evening. <br /> <br />I have talked to Fritz regarding his willingness to continue working for the <br />city on a consulting basis. Fritz has indicated a desire to do so on a short <br />term basis. The details need to be worked out, but Fritz will be helping the <br />acting liquor store manager in the areas of: types and volumes of purchases, <br />purchase prices, mark ups, status of the inventory, etc. It is estimated that <br />we will use Fritz about 4 to 5 hours per week and that the consulting <br />contract will be for $1,000 per month. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I have talked to representatives of both the municipal and private liquor <br />industry associations and both magazines come out at the end of February. <br />This is too late for the timely replacement of Fritz as we would not be able to <br />close receiving applications until around mid March. An alternative is to <br />obtain the membership list of each organization and do a direct mail <br />campaign, or have the organizations directly mail out the city's <br />advertisement to its members. This will reduce the hiring timeframe by <br />about a month and allow us to close receiving applications on Friday, <br />February 19. In addition to doing some type of private and public industry <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway. P.O. Box 490. Elk River, MN 55330. TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420. Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br />
