Poi ,lic Works/Fire Chief Dean Kapler Gustafson CALL TO ORDER Mayor Gamec called the re Committee to order at 5:38 p.m. CITIZEN INPUT None. COMMITTEE BUSINESS Case #1: Engineering Department Organizational Cha~;Requ~ Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler stated that tli~ Public Works Director feels it is appropriate to create a level of supervision/management within the Engineering Department. With the amount of Engineering activity continuing to increase along with the approved position of Engineering Technician for 2002, a position to supervise the Deparmaent becomes necessary. Although the Public Works Director would continue to be responsible for the Engineering Department as a whole, the position of Principal City. Engineer would have supervisory responsibilities for the City Engineer, Public Works Secretary and Engineering Technician. This position would also act as the backup for the Public Works Director in his/her absence. The position would report to the Public Works Director. When Ramsey hired its first City Engineer, the employment agreement stated a City vehicle would be included due to the responsibilities of being the Public Works Director. Since then the responsibilities have changed to the point that after work hour vehicle needs have all but been eliminated. Staff had discussed a plan with Personnel Committee/February 12, 2002 Page 1 of 5 -73-
