We recommend the promotion of Ryan Sandhoefner to the title of <br />Engineering Project Manager and to go to market to rehire the Engineer I position. Our turnaround is quick <br />as we desire to be on the market as new graduates look for positions near the end of the school year. <br />Ryan has continued to take on more duties as his experience with us has trained and positioned him for <br />advancement in his career. <br />Financial Impact <br />The approval is budget negative as the new Engineering Project Manager would be assigned to Step C, and we <br />expect to hire a new Engineer I at Step A. <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />City Mission. <br />Attachments <br />Engineering Project Manager Job Description <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A avelcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional service, and community p p W E R E U A Y <br />engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />201 <br />
