<br />Councilmember Heineman asked who is currently doing the cleaning. <br /> <br />Building Maintenance Supervisor Bray answered this is a new task and no one was currently <br />assigned to these tasks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the cost indicated includes benefits and wages, or just wages. <br /> <br />Administrative Service Director Lasher answered the amount is the total budget impact for <br />everything to bring Mr. Benson to full time including health insurance for November and <br />December, plus the additional PERA and additional hours. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked about maintenance by the maintenance crew versus the duties <br />listed as staff duties and if there is some overlap. She asked how they determine which <br />maintenance tasks are covered by the different departments. <br /> <br />Building Maintenance Supervisor Bray answered that inside the building, he would be responsible <br />for cleaning the offices and restrooms. In the summer, they do the mowing and irrigation duties. <br />Mr. Benson’s main duties would be cleaning, taking care of the boilers and the heating and air <br />conditioning. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked about other duties listed including landscape maintenance, snow <br />removal, and a wide range of tasks. <br /> <br />Building Maintenance Supervisor Bray answered that was not necessarily at the new Public Works <br />facility. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher commented that the job description included was a <br />general job description that all building maintenance workers do and not necessarily specific to <br />Mr. Benson. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht stated staff recommendation makes sense to him because the he is a high <br />performing employee who is looking for more hours so he supports it. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked if this cost is covered in next year’s budget. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher answered if this was approved, the Finance Director <br />would make an adjustment as it would impact 2022 but would not be considered a new change for <br />2022 if it were approved now. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced the unanticipated unpaid time off for a staff member and <br />asked what step Mr. Benson would be at if his hours were increased to full time. <br /> <br />Building Maintenance Supervisor Bray answered Step 1 or 2. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if that would be the same for 2022. <br />City Council Work Session / October 12, 2021 <br />Page 9 of 13 <br /> <br />
