CC Regular Session 4. 13. Meeting Date: 06/12/2018 By: Colleen Lasher, Administrative Services Information Title Adopt Resolution #18-110 to Hire a Public Works Seasonal Worker and Temporary Interns Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to request authorization to hire a Public Works Seasonal Worker and Temporary Interns. Annually the City employs Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers to perform work in the Parks, Streets, and Utilities Divisions of Public Works and Interns to work in Administrative Services, Community Development, Engineering, and Parks. More than ever, this year's recruiting efforts have been challenge due to competition from other employers. Consquently, the process to hire temporary employees has taken longer and, in the case of the Parks Intern, the previously hired Intern for this season resigned within the first week of employment, causing a gap in coverage. With this gap in coverage and the lack of applicants for the Horticulturist Internship the Parks Division has the required fuding and is in need of immediate coverage. To offset the coverage concerns, staff have selected one seasonal candidate and three general -duty parks interns with staggered start dates. All candidates have passed the pre -employment screenings and staff recommends hiring the candidates listed below. Funding Source: The funding required for this action is included in the approved 2018 budget. Recommendation: Staff recommends hiring Gunnar Ledin, effective on or near June 4, 2018 at $11.50 per hour as a returning Public Works Seasonal Worker. Staff also recommends hiring Cecilia Schmidt, effective on or near May 30, 2018 at $13.00 per hour; and Kiana Packer, effective on or near June 7, 2018 at $13.00 per hour; and Mitchell Koester, effective on or near August 27, 2018 at $13.00 per hour, all as Parks Interns. Action: 1) Motion to adopt resolution #18-110 to hire the following employees: Gunnar Ledin, effective on or near June 4, 2018 at $11.50 per hour as a returning Public Works Seasonal Worker; and hiring Cecilia Schmidt, effective on or near May 30, 2018 at $13.00 per hour; and Kiana Packer, effective on or near June 7, 2018 at $13.00 per hour; and Mitchell Koester, effective on or near August 27, 2018 at $13.00 per hour as Parks Interns.
