Council=ember Reiuann expressed concern with the ~anner in which pumping water for drainage problems was placed on the April 22, 1986 Council agenda, it's presentation and feinted cost estimates not being available. The Personnel Co~ittee recommended that intervi~s for the position of building inspector (3 non-certified) Class I and Class II) he scheduled for two afternoon sessions beginning at 4:30 p.m. and not to extend beyond 6:30 p.m.; that interviews not be scheduled in certain time increments in order that the interviews can move along in a more timely ~anner.

Case ~: 1986 Salary For Lester Wirz As Buildine Official= Hr. Hartley noted that Council promised Mr. Wirz would be compensated at a rate of 15~ above base salary for assuming the duties of the building inspector fro~ October through December of 1985; that has not been paid and what will be recommended for that portion of 1986 that those duties were assumed? Councilme~ber Reimann replied that the compensation was not paid because of union disagreement with the action. The Personnel Committee recommended that Mr. Wirz be compensated at a rate of 15I above base salary from October, 1985 to such ti~e in 1986 when the position of building inspector is filled. Hr. ttartley noted that Mr. Wirz intends to retire in two years and the City must have a Clans II building inspector on staff at that time. l~'hen conducting interviews for the position of building inspector, the Personnel Committee should be aware that because of Class II minimum requirements and the time required to attain same, it is advised that the person hired be eligible for Class I certification i~mediately.
