Administrative Services Director Lasher replied they have cell phones but she didn't know that <br /> there has ever been an issue on a Friday evening when staff are alone. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied everyone carries a cell phone so he didn't think that <br /> was an issue. The one concern he had was if there was an accidental fall. He thought they could <br /> work with having two people on most of the time even if it isn't all the time. <br /> The consensus of the Council was to approve the request to increase the part-time Building <br /> Maintenance Worker from 20 to 25 hours per week. <br /> 2.06: Discussion Regarding the City Administrator's Position Description and Community <br /> Profile <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher reviewed staff report to review the current position <br /> description and sample Community Profile (used previously for the Deputy City <br /> Administrator/Community Development Director recruitment) and provide staff with any <br /> recommended revisions to either the position description or the profile, prior to posting the <br /> opening. <br /> Councilmember Howell suggested striking the word "minimum" qualifications from the job <br /> descriptions to be able to state what they are looking for. She also suggested opening it up to <br /> people who have business experience because they would be looking for someone who is a good <br /> manager and could encourage employees to develop their skills. Whether this person comes from <br /> city governance or business field, she thought it would be nice to have a broader pool of people be <br /> included. She stated that regarding requiring a degree is that the reason to get a degree is to gain <br /> experience and say they are proficient in something. She thought being more open-minded and <br /> inclusive of people who have gotten their education practically speaking if they have the skills and <br /> capability to manage a large corporation such as a city. She handed out a sheet that outlined her <br /> thoughts to the Council. Regarding the sentence regarding software, she suggested changing it to <br /> say they wanted someone with a general working knowledge rather than expecting them to be able <br /> to do all of the accounting or financing things that Finance Director Lund could do,or be proficient <br /> at managing software for a City, she felt that felt out of place. She asked for feedback. <br /> Councilmember Specht replied he liked the idea of equating experience as being as important as a <br /> degree. He stated that actual experience and abilities are more important than a degree. <br /> Councilmember Heineman replied he liked it. He asked if there is a methodology behind putting <br /> "minimum qualifications" versus "desired qualifications," and if it was just to help applicants to <br /> eliminate themselves. He also asked Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev.Director Hagen, <br /> because this was the job description for his position, if there was anything that stood out that <br /> needed to be changed. He stated he liked Councilmember Howell's suggested qualifications. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied they use the software and when an applicant goes <br /> to the website to apply for a position,there are minimum qualifications listed meaning if they don't <br /> meet the minimum qualifications listed, they are not going to be looked at for scoring. She stated <br /> this position is unique and different. She stated the methodology normally is the minimum <br /> City Council Work Session /February 22, 2022 <br /> Page 10 of 13 <br />
