By use of a <br />point system evaluating education, licenses, experience, and veteran's preference, ten <br />applicants were chosen for a personal interview. The interview committee consisted of <br />Terry Bye, Mark Thompson, and Phil Hals of the Street/Park Department and Steve <br />Rohlf of the Building Department. The choice was extremely difficult because of the <br />quality of the applicant's skills and experience. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />It is the recommendation of the interview committee that the City Council hire Joseph <br />Pipenhagen. Mr. Pipenhagen is a resident of Zimmerman, has V 0- Tech training in <br />landscape and turf management, 14 years experience with the Anoka Park Department, <br />has a good deal of mechanical skill, and comes with high recommendation from his <br />former employer. <br /> <br />The salary range for the laborer position is $7.65 starting, to $10.11 per hour after four <br />years. Mr. Pipenhagen will start work two weeks after Council approval; on January 24, <br />1995. <br /> <br />The major duties for the laborer in the summer will be mowing grass and park <br />maintenance, and major winter duties will be snowplowing sidewalks and flooding ice <br />rinks. <br /> <br />We feel that Joe will be an excellent employee for the City and will be very compatible <br />with the StreetlPark staff. <br /> <br />This hiring fills the position that was budgeted to start in October 1994. The 1995 budget <br />also has laborer position identified and I would like to hire that person from this same <br />application process in March of this year. We have three excellent candidates to choose <br />from and it is my hope that at least one of these three will still be available in March. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
