We weren't able to fill the position <br />at that time. We instead hired a seasonal laborer to assist with our summer work of jetting the sewer lines. <br />Jacob Dietsch has proven to be a valuable employee and we recommend hiring him for the vacant wastewater <br />operator position. <br /> <br />Mr. Dietsch previously worked in two food orientated retail businesses before beginning work for us this past <br />July. He has attended Centry College for firefighting, EMS, and Hazardous Materials. He would start this <br />position at step A. All pay and benefits would be consistent with city policy. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />This is a budgeted position. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />The Elk River Mission <br /> <br />Attachments <br />None <br /> <br /> <br />Page 61 of 197
