Three candidates scored highly during the <br />interview, and the interview panel conducted a second interview on October 6, 1999, to gather <br />additional information to choose a finalist. Based on consensus of the interview panel, Staff <br />recommended Mark Giese as the finalist candidate for the Public Work Maintenance Worker <br />vacancy, contingent upon successful completion of background investigations of driving record <br />and criminal history, reference checks and a physical examination. The Public Works <br />Maintenance Worker's annual salary would be the starting step of the position in the City's 1999 <br />compensation plan, $24,071.00, or $11.57/hour. As with other maintenance worker <br />appointments, the new hire will work in both the streets and parks/utilities divisions as needed. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by"Councilmember Anderson, to recommend that City <br />Council authorize Staff to offer a conditional hire to Mark Giese as the Public Works <br />Maintenance Worker, contingent upon successful completion of background investigations of <br />driving record and criminal history, reference checks, and a physical examination, at an annual <br />salary of $24,071. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

Voting No: None. <br />Absent: None. <br /> <br />Case #3: <br /> <br />Authorization for Consultant Services for Organization and Recruitment <br />Services for the Community Development Department Vacancies <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that with Ms. Sherman and Mr. Walther's resignations, a <br />skeleton crew remains within the Community Development Department. Staff is seeking <br />consultant assistance to facilitate the reorganization of the Department as well as the hiring <br />process. Originally, he had contacted two of the most widely known public sector consultants <br />for assistance with the project, which are the Brimeyer Group, located in Golden Valley, and <br />Personnel Decisions International (PDI) in Minneapolis. The City utilized PDt in the past for <br />conducting a background search on the City Administrator as part of the recruitment process. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson inquired if it would make more sense to have assistance in organizing <br />all departments rather than only Community Development if the City is going to hire a <br />consultant. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman explained that the funds to hire a consultant will be taken from the <br />budgeted funds for salaries. <br /> <br />Personnel Committee/October 12, 1999 <br /> Page 2 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
