Background: <br />PC CASE # 1 <br />Consider Resolution Accepting the Resignation of an Employee and <br />Authorizing Staff to Fill the Resulting Vacancies <br />By: Givonna Reed Kone, Human Resources Manager <br />Mr. Robert Kuhn began employment with the City of Ramsey as a Patrol Officer on <br />January 1, 1979. He was assigned to the position of Sergeant on June 10, 1997. On <br />October 5, 2006, Mr. Kuhn submitted a letter of resignation indicating that he would <br />retire from the City of Ramsey on February 1, 2007. Staff is recommending that Mr. <br />Kuhn's resignation be accepted by the City Council and that staff be authorized to fill the <br />resulting vacancies. <br />Staff has conducted an internal recruitment process to fill the Sergeant position that will <br />be vacant as of February 2, 2007 as a result of Mr. Kuhn's retirement. Two patrol <br />officers applied for- and were interviewed for - the Sergeant position. The Police Chief <br />recommends that Sheldon Erdman be hired as a Patrol Sergeant effective February 2, <br />2007. <br />Staff has also begun the process of conducting an internal recruitment process to fill the <br />patrol officer position that will be vacant when, pending City Council approval, Mr. <br />Sheldon Erdman is promoted to Sergeant. Pending the approval of Mr. Erdman's <br />promotion to Sergeant and after the completion of the internal recruitment process to fill <br />the position left vacant by Mr. Erdman, staff will return to the City Council with a request <br />for authorization to hire the selected individual. <br />As members of the City Council are aware, there is currently one patrol officer position <br />included in the 2007 budget. With City Council approval, staff would like authorization <br />to create an eligibility list for this position. If authorization is granted, staff will begin an <br />internal recruitment process and upon adoption of the 2007 budget staff will return to the <br />City Council with a request for authorization to hire the selected individual. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the following committee actions: <br />Committee Action: <br />1. Motion recommending that the City Council accept Mr. Robert Kuhn's <br />resignation/retirement from his position as Patrol Sergeant effective February <br />1, 2007. <br />C:\Documents and Settings \pmiller\Local Settings \Temporary Internet Files \OLK618\auth to accept resignation- hire Patrol Officer - Elig List.doc <br />-317- <br />
