Option #2: Not to hire a fulltime Engineering Technician III and fill the role via contracted services. Staff does not <br />recommend this option. Pros to this option include saved in-house fixed personnel costs. Cons to this option <br />include greatly increased costs as a result of contracting out -- estimated at up to $70,629 over the cost of hiring a <br />City employee (calculated at $88 dollars per hour x 1600 hours = $140,800 annually for contracted services, less <br />$70,171 for an in-house employee = $70,629 more per year). <br />Option #3: Not fill the position and not contract the services out. Staff does not recommend this option due to the <br />inability to act on the applicable Three-year Strategic Action Plan and the essential goals from the City's financial <br />perspective. This option would not allow the Engineering Department to effectively complete the following tasks: <br />1) Preparing construction plans, specifications and engineer's estimates, 2) Preparing as -built plans, 3) Providing <br />primary and/or back-up construction inspection, 4) Providing primary and/or back-up topsoil inspections, and 5) <br />Providing primary and/or back-up storm -water infrastructure inspections for compliance with the city's <br />Storm -water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). <br />Funding Source: <br />The 2014 funding for this position is well within the 2014 budget. The 2015 funding required for this position is <br />approximately $70,171 and has been accounted for in the 2015 budget. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends adopting resolution #14-12-259, to hire Mr. Joe Feriancek as a fulltime Engineering Technician <br />III, effective on or near December 29, 2014, at $24.42 per hour which is step 1 of the 2014 wage scale, with a credit <br />of 5 vacation days. <br />Action: <br />Motion to adopt resolution #14-12-259, to hire Mr. Joe Feriancek as a fulltime Engineering Technician III, effective <br />on or near December 29, 2014, at $24.42 per hour which is step 1 of the 2014 wage scale, with a credit of 5 <br />vacation days. <br />Position Justification <br />Resolution 1412259 <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Bruce Westby Bruce Westby 12/03/2014 02:29 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 12/04/2014 08:19 AM <br />Form Started By: Colleen Lasher Started On: 12/01/2014 08:40 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 12/04/2014 <br />
