Authorize Posting & Advertising - Maintenance I Position CITY fJF ROSEMOUNT EXECtTTIVE SZTNIlwSARY FOR ACTIOIri CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 20, 1993 AGENDA ITEM: Authorization for Posting and AGENDA SECTION: Advertising for a Ma.intenance Level I Position New Business PREP,ARED BY: Ron Wasmund AGEND�� Director of Public Works/ Building Official ATTACHMENTS: Job Description AP' OVE BY: This item is a request to start the process of hixing a Maintenance Level I person. This is a new position budgeted for in the 1993 Public Works operating budget. This position is budgeted to start in October of 1993 . I am proposing to adhere to this scheduled starting date of October but to start the process now. By starting now I can be assur�d to have the process completed by October. This position would primarily be assigned to the street maintenance division. This is the first position requested in the street maintenance division since 1990 . We have added 6. 61 miles of roadway to our system as of 12/31/92 . In addition we have delayed street reconstruction projects for the development of an assessment policy and other various reasons. This results in further degradation of the streets identified in the CIP for reconstruction. We must continue to maintain these streets to the satisfaction of the public that lives along those streets. We currently have three full time employees assigned to the street maintenance area. In the summer we hire four part-time seasonal employees for a maximum of 100 days. They assist with mowing, street patching and general maintenance activities however they require constant supervision. With three full time when one is grading our eighteen miles of gravel weekly, one is sweeping streets, painting curbs and crosswalks, and driving truck for the patehing crew, it leaves the one other person to run the patching crew. The myriad of oCher general maintenance items such as sign installation, rural ditch mowing, gravel shouldering, pond pumping, etc always require that a full time person to be pulled from the task they would normally be performing. In the past we have been able to assist the Park Maintenance crew with projects however in the last two to three �rears we have not been able to do that. I feel this position is necessary and ask for your support for the filling of it. RECODIl�IENDED ACTION: Motion to Authorize the Posting and Advertisement of a Level I Maintenance Worker for the Street Maintenance Division and to proceed with the hiring pracess with the start date to be no sooner than October 1, 1993 .
