Case #16: Report from Personnel Committee 1) Discuss Appointment to Planning Commission Vacancy Administrative Services Manager Waite Smith explained that Council's initial direction was to appoint Joe Wivoda to the Planning Commission and not appoint anyone to the second vacancy until Mr. Anderson, the sixth applicant, could be interviewed. At their last meeting, the Planning Commission requested that the vacancy be re-advertised. Consensus of the Council was to direct the Planning Commission interview panel to complete the interviews as originally planned, interviewing Mr. Anderson, and then forwarding to the City Council a recommendation to fill the remaining Planning Commission vacancy. 2) Accept Resignation of Finance Officer Administrative Services Manager Waite Smith reported that Finance Officer Hart has accepted a position with another community. Therefore, Council is requested to accept her resignation, authorize the process to fill the vacancy created and appoint Senior Accountant Diana Lund to act as Finance Officer until one is appointed. Ms. Lund should be compensated at a rate midway between her current salary and the current salary of the Finance Officer. The vacation accrual limit is requested waived and it is also requested that a temporary employee, experienced in accounting, be hired. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to accept Ms. Hart's resignation, effective March 31, 1998, authorize staff to begin the process to fill the Finance Officer position, adopt Resolution #98-03-055 authorizing the appointment of Diana Lund as acting Finance Officer, establishing a wage compensation for that time, waiving vacation accrual limit for Ms. Lund while she is serving as Acting Finance Officer (due to reports having to be completed for the State), and authorizing the hire of a temporary employee experienced in accounting, to assist the Finance Department while the Senior Accountant is serving as the Acting Finance Officer. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beahen, Beyer and Zimmerman. Voting No: None.
