Jerry <br />Mackedanz has worked for the Street Department for 13 years. Prior to working for the City, Jerry <br />retired from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />Jerry' s part-time schedule is 27 hours per week. At this time, I would like to hire two seasonal laborers to <br />assist with the busy summer months while I evaluate the long-term needs of the department. The <br />seasonal laborers will each work 40 hours per week at $9.50 per hour for four months. <br /> <br />As an additional item, we have a shortage of staff hours for sign making. I would like to increase Connie <br />Schwecke's hours by four hours per week in 2007 to accommodate our sign making needs. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Use the remaining wages budgeted for Jerry Mackedanz for the balance of 2007, which amounts to <br />$19,980, to hire two seasonal laborers and add 4 hours per week for Connie Schwecke. The total cost for <br />these suggested changes will be less than $16,000. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />The City would like to thank Jerry for his many years of dedicated service. A plaque will be presented at a <br />future Council meeting in recognition of his service to the City. The Council is requested to authorize <br />hiring two seasonal laborers and to tempotari1y increase Connie Schwecke's hours by four per week for <br />the rest of 2007. <br /> <br />Council Action <br /> <br />Motion by_ <br /> <br />Second by_ <br /> <br />Vote <br /> <br />Follow Up <br /> <br />S:\Coundl\Phil\4-1(H}7MC Request Mackedanz :retirement-doc <br />
