I ! I i I I I I I I I I I ! I I I I I advised that the proposal is advantageous for various reasons. The 1998 rate for contractual inspection services was $18 per hour, according to staff at the City of Andover. Although this proposal requires Social Security and PERA contributions that make the hourly rate slightly higher, the difference is minimal. Ms. Rybak is well acquainted with the inspections staff and processes in Ramsey, which may not be the case with a contractor. Because of the flexibility of the temporary clerical employee, Ms. Rybak can be scheduled according to the need on fairly short notice. Ms. Rybak can gain experience in the field of study she has pursued outside her clerical position without losing her status as a full-time employee entitled to health insurance benefits. If the City contracted with her, she would lose those benefits. This arrangement allows the temporary clerical person to keep up to speed on the operations in Administrative Services so she can fill in effectively in other situations requiring temporary assistance. The City's experience with employees from temporary agencies has not been ef~:~ctive in terms of cost or operations. Motion by Mayor Gamec and seconded by Councilmember ~mderson to recommend that Council authorize staff to assi~ Colleen Rybak to provide supplemental inzpections services provided for in the 1999 operating budget. Motion carried. Vcting Yes: Mayor Gamec and Councilmernber ?mderson. Voting No: None. ADJOURNMENT Consensus was to adjoum the meeting.
