CC Work Session Meeting Date: 05/09/2023 Information Title: Temporary Increase of Hours to Planning Administrative Assistant Purpose/Background: 2.4. The City has received a resignation notice of the City Planner, with his last day being May 19, 2023. The City Planner, along with other staff in the Planning Division provide customer service via phone calls, emails and walk-in visitors. Based on workload due to land use applications and the construction season underway, the Planning Division remains busy. In an effort to maintain acceptable levels of service, staff proposes to temporarily increase the hours of the Planning Administrative Assistant from 20 hours a week up to 29 hours per week. The increase in hours would be temporary until the City Planner position is filled. Staff anticipates a minimum of a two and a half month time period this would occur based on recruitment timeline. Additional costs due to the increased hours would be more than offset by costs savings of the vacant City Planner position. The Planning Administrative Assistant has expressed a willingness and ability to provide the extra hours of support. Timeframe: 5 minutes Funding Source: Costs would be assumed within the adopted Community Development department's budget. Responsible Party(ies): Brian Hagen, City Administrator Outcome: Consensus to temporarily increase the Planning Administrative assistant up to 29 hours per week. Attachments No files) attached.
