CC Work Session 2. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 07/28/2020 <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Consider Options for Temporarily Filling a Building Maintenance Vacancy <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this discussion is to update the City Council regarding an upcoming staffing change within the <br />Building Maintenance Division. <br />One of the City's part-time building maintenance workers has indicated that he plans to retire in early October or as <br />soon as August depending on his circumstances. Staffing in this area is already quite lean and the timing of this <br />change falls within a busy time of year due to the election and extra COVID-19 cleaning tasks Filling a vacant <br />position generally takes 10 to 12 weeks. <br />As background, Staff had a similar situation last fall; albeit it was a temporary staffing shortage at that time. Staff <br />met with the City Council in October and asked the City Council to consider options for filling a staffing shortage. <br />The City Council authorized Staff to conduct an external recruitment for a temporary employee. The employee <br />hired for the temporary opening worked in building maintenance from December to March and proved to be a good <br />addition to the team. Currently, Staff is proactively seeking direction from the City Council regarding how to <br />address the upcoming situation. Staff would like to have the discretion to reach out to the previous employee to <br />begin the process of rehiring him as a temporary employee at an hourly rate of approximately $15 per hour. With <br />this approval, staff will have the ability to react quickly to a somewhat uncertain vacancy timeline. If approved, a <br />case would come forward to the City Council to authorize the hire. Public Works Superintendent Grant Riemer will <br />be on hand to answer questions. <br />Timeframe: <br />Approximately 10 minutes. <br />Funding Source: <br />Not applicable at this time. <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Grant Riemer, Public Works Superintendent <br />Outcome: <br />Based on discussion. <br />No file(s) attached. <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Grant Riemer Grant Riemer 07/22/2020 12:56 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 07/23/2020 02:15 PM <br />Form Started By: Colleen Lasher Started On: 07/22/2020 11:02 AM <br />
