This memo summarizes the request and recommends action for Council to consider. The 1989 budget included a fuil-time Level I position to be shared with Utiiities beginning July of this year. In evaluating ou� current need, in public w�rks, Park Director Beehtold and myself feel that there is an urgent need for s�me assistance to heip the �echanic. We currently have no ane availabie to keep vehicles ciean, ehange oil, repair tires and atlier simplc items tliet we rc��lly don't want our Level III Mechanic doing. Rather than spend $5.543 an hour for temporary help which is.difficult to find this time of year, Park Director Bechtold and I agree that it wouldn't cost much more to pay the extra money and get a full-time person here earlier. We also agree that we shouid try to specialize with our new people. That is why I am requestzng a Mechanic Level I rather than a geaeral Maintenanee Level I. Attached is a job description of a Mechanic Leve1 I £or Counciis reference. The Leve1 i Mechanic positian would also be able to fiil in an the Public Works' Crews as needed. The cost to the City for this person beginning the first of Aprii would be ab,�ut 5�3,60Q in salary and an additional $2,000 in benefits. i budgeted about $5,Sfl0 in 1989 for a permanent posi.tion. I budgeted two temparary positions for this summer, however Z could try to get by with one, which would �ive us another. $3,000 to work with, making the increase in payroll about $6,800. ' If necessary, we could try to make other economies in our bu�3get sv that we can get this much needed persoz� on board as soon as possibie. Recommended action for Cot�neil to considex is to autharize the advertising of a Mechanic Level I position openin�, ' � � CITY OF ROSEMOUNT POSITI4N RESPQNSIBILITY WRITE-UP POSITION TITLE: MECHANIC I DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORK5 �4CC(7UNTABLE TO: PUBLIC WtJRKS FOREMAN Primarv Ob,�ective of Position Tn perform preventive maintenance ar►d minor repairs on all ci�y owned vehicles, machi.nery, and meehar�ical equipment and provid� manual labor as required to }arovide tiroely �nd ef£icient general. main�.enance seruices ta the entire City operation .
