CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 05/14/2013 By: Colleen Lasher, Administrative Services 4. 16. Information Title: Report from the Personnel Committee - May 14, 2013 Case 1 of 4: Resolution to Extend the Recruitment for an Economic Development Manager and to Hire One Additional Administrative Intern. Case 2 of 4: Resolution to Hire a Building Inspection Intern Note: Case 3 and 4 will be brought forward for City Council action on May 28, 2013. Background: Both of the following cases were presented at this evening's Personnel Committee. Case 1 of 4: Resolution to Extend the Recruitment for an Economic Development Manager and to Hire One Additional Administrative Intern. Earlier this evening the Personnel Committee motioned to recommend the following: Motion to recommend the City Council adopt resolution #13-05-085 to approve staff to extend the Recruitment for an Economic Development Manager and to Hire One Additional Administrative Intern. The case was presented as follows: Staff was previously authorized to recruit and hire this position. Now, it is recommended that recruitment for the Economic Development Manager be extended in order to increase the pool of qualified candidates as the top previous candidate has withdrawn from consideration. Also, staff anticipates bringing a revised hiring process and schedule forward for Council consideration at the next regular meeting May 28th. For a more detailed account of the Economic Development Manager position and the previous recruitment process please see the attachments. Lastly, staff was previously authorized to hire an Administrative Intern to assist with event specific work, such as Happy Days. The recruitment process for this position was completed with great success. We interviewed many highly qualified candidates and are in the process of on -boarding one candidate. With the delay in the hiring of an Economic Development Manager, the upcoming special election, the un-winding of the Landform contract, the implementation of the strategic plan, and a variety HR projects; staff is seeking to bring on an an additional intern to work on an as needed basis within Administrative Services. The costs associated with an additional intern would be well within the budget considering the salary expense not generated due to the delay in the Economic Development Manager hiring process. Not back -filling this work will possibly result in missed project deadlines, unsustainable workloads, below -standard work product, and/or overtime expenses for non-exempt employees.
