~CASE #: I REPORT ON TEMPORARY CORPORAL POSITIONS IN POLICE DEPARTMENT By: Linda Waite Smith, Administrative Services Manager Background: Police Chief Mike Auspos will be on medical leave for six to eight weeks beginning November 8, 1996. Sergemat Dave Gustafson will be the sole supervisor in the department during this period. In ord0r to make Sgt. Gustafson's job more manageable during this period, it was decided do delegate some functions via temporary assignment of two Patrol Officers to "Corporal" positions. The responsibilities of the temporary positions were developed into an internal job posting and any Patrol Officer with at least five years of experience on the force was eligible to apply. Five people did so b~ the November 1, 1996 deadline: Jeff Ameson, James Balabon, Tim Dwyer, Bob Kuhn, and Jim Way. ( A copy of the job posting is attached.) All five applicants were interviewed on November 4, 1996 by a panel consisting of Police Chief Auspos, Sgt. Gu~tafson, and Administrative Services Manager Waite Smith. All applicants were asked the same ~C[Uestions and each interviewer ranked the candidates' responses at the end of the process. The ritual result of the process was a recommendation that the temporary Corporal duties be assigneel to Officers Kuhn and Way until the Police Chief returns from medical leave. The City Administrator, Police Chief, Police Sergeant and Administrative Services Manager agreed during in[iial discussions that for the duration of the assignment, it would be appropriate to provide additipnal compensation for this work assignment in the same amount as the other existing department work assignment (Investigator), which currently receives $110 per month in additional salary.
