I I I I I I I I getting more difficult to make headway. A Senior Accountant with experience and knowledge will have more time to do the job accurately. Mr. Hartley informed the Committee of Ms. Ashley's workload and the amount of time she works including Friday nights, Saturdays and even Sundays. He stressed recognizing the value the City could get from obtaining a Senior Accountant. Councilmember Cich inquired about the Police Sergeant position. Police Chief Mike Auspos stated the Sergeant will be a Patrol Officer working his shift, rotating, etc. but will assume the responsibilities of Police Chief in Chief Auspos' absence. He will also assist with scheduling and general supervision. This will be a promotion from within the Police Department and the new person being hired will be a Patrol Officer. At this time it is undetermined how the promotion will be handled. Mr. Harfley stressed how important timing is regarding this organizational plan. He stated the City has been operating without a Community Development Director since Mark Banwart's resignation. The City has also been going through the stage of transition regarding the Engineering position. The funding for the Senior Accountant position will come from the Community Development Directors position that will be eliminated. The Senior Accountant position should be filled immediately and community development tasks reassigned as Sylvia Frolik has also putting in a lot of time doing her job plus handling all the Community Development Director's functions. Councilmember Cich asked if the dispersion of duties would help to work smarter. City Administrator Hartley answered that the staff is working smart now but there are a lot of improvements we could do to make jobs easier, however, we need more people to do that. Councilmember Cich asked if there could be forms put in the computers to help save time. Mr. Hartley stated that a lot of the forms are in the computer at this time, but much more could be put into the computers with the manpower to do it. Councilmember DeLuca asked if Mr. Hartley wanted the recommendations from tonight's meeting brought to City Council tonight. Mr. Hartley answered yes and again stressed the importance of acting quickly.
