I am seeking authorization from Council to proceed with the posting and advertisement of this position. This position has been authorized by Council in the past to be filled in 1991. Due to budget considerations we have waited to hire anyone until we determined what the final numbers would be. It was previously authorized for seven months, then reduced to two months. I am asking to proceed with the hiring process at this time so we can have the position filled and necessary orientation completed for snow removal season. The process of filling the position will take three to six weeks to complete. It will involve a written examination as well as an operating competency test. The operation testing needs to be conducted before the ground is too frozen to perform. The results of the written examination will be reviewed by a committee. The Committee will also observe and rank the operating skills portion of the interview. The final selection will be made based upon highest point rating with emphasis on equipment operation. The Committee will be comprised of myself, Public Works Maintenance Supervisor, City Administrator and Maintenance Supervisors from two neighboring communities. The neighboring communities will be selected by the other three (3) committee members. I am happy to answer any questions you have regarding this position.
