AUTHORIZE STAFF TO BEGIN RECRUITMENT PROCESSES FOR NEW POSITIONS By: Givonna Reed, Human Resources Manager Back~round For several months the City Council has been discussing the 2004 budget and plans to create additional positions. There appears to be consensus that the City Council will approve the following positions as part of the 2004 budget: Patrol Officer (1 FTE)~, Building Inspector (.5 FTE), Fire Inspector (.5 FTE), Public Works Maintenance Worker (1 FTE) and Information Technology Manager (1 FTE). With City Council approval, staff would like authorization to begin the recruitment processes for these new positions. It is staff's intent that if authorized to begin the recruitment processes immediately, the selected candidates would start after the New Year. Because of the various projects that are currently underway, staff would prioritize the positions and stagger the recruitment processes as necessary. If for some reason any of the positions listed above are not included in the approved 2004 budget, recruitment proceedings will cease. Each of the five positions will be paid for from the General Fund. The IT Manager position will use the funds that have, in the past, been used to pay an outside company for information technology services. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Council grant authorization to begin the recruitment processes for a Patrol Officer, Building Inspector, Fire Inspector, Public Works Maintenance Worker and Information Technology Manager. Committee Action Motion to recommend that the City Council grant authorization to begin the recruitment processes for a Patrol Officer, Building Inspector, Fire Inspector, Public Works Maintenance Worker and Information Technology Manager. Reviewed by: City Administrator Assistant City Adminstrator PC: 11/25/03 ~Full time equivalent (FTE) means that a position is a full-time (40 hour per week) position. A position that is listed as .5 FTE is a half-time (20 hour per week) position.
