Our Mistionc To work together to reipoiibly grew our comma nityr, and to provide quality, cert-oliBcdwe, and efficient government services. CC Regular Session 4. 9. Meeting Date: 08/11/2015 By: Colleen Lasher, Administrative Services Information Title: Adopt Resolution 1t15-08-201 to Hire Public Safety Administrative Support Personnel Please Note: this case was moved from Consent 4.09 to Case 7.07 on the regular agenda. Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to request the City Council to hire two public safety administrative support employees; one part-time Fire Technician (at 20 hours per week — increasing the Fire Department's support from 5 hours per week to 20) and one full-time Lead Police Records Technician (rather than the former structure of 2 part-time employees). As the City Council will recall, a work -session discussion took place on June 9, 2015, where the City Council agreed by consensus to have staff move ahead with filling the current vacancies and conducting a recruitment process. The June qh case and minutes are attached for review. Staff proceeded with the City Council's direction to recruit for the positions. The new hires will serve to continue the City's efforts to meet the goals of the strategic plan, especially with regard to the strategic imperative of "Smart Citizen -Focused Government" and providing for "An Effective Organization". Staff conducted first and second interviews and an extensive back -rounding process and is recommending the City Council hire Ms. Ann Marie Busak as the City's new part-time Fire Technician and Ms. Jemma Peterson as the City's new full-time Lead Police Records Technician. Notification: The June work -session documentation is attached. Funding Source: The 2015 funding required for a part-time Fire Technician is estimated to be approximately $9,508 ($23,418 on an annual basis in 2016). The 2015 funding required for a full-time Lead Police Records Technician is estimated to be approximately $30,506.00. ($67,183 on an annual basis in 2016). However, with the savings from earlier Police Department staffing changes, the 2015 difference with adding a part-time Fire Technician and a full-time Lead Police Records Technician comes to a savings of $17,116 over what was originally budged for 2015. Recommendation:
