NEW BUSINESS
Authorize Advertisement for Engineering Technician Fosition
Gouncil, in the 1989 budget, approved the position for a full-time engineering
technician that the Parks and Engineering Departments would share. Attached is a
summary of job priorities that Park Director Bechtold and I developed and also a
position responsibility write-up for this engineering technician position.
The addition of another engineering tech will allow the Gity to do necessary
engineering field work. There will be times when both techs will be working an
park projects or publie work projects. Once the field work is complete, then
each technician can pursue their current task in either department depending upon
set priorities.
The 1989 budget also contains additional equipment to assist the new engineering
tech and our existing engineering tech in perfarming their xequired functions.
New equipment that we will be purchasing under the 1989 budget wi11 be an
engineering transit and drafting table. The 1989 C.I.P. does have money in it
for revamging one of the Fire Degartments 4x4 grass rig gickups by painting and
adding a topper.
Our tentative schedule is to advertise and screen applications in November. By
the December 6, 19$8 meeting I would hope to have selected an applicant to
present to Council for their approval. Then we should be ab2e to have this
person on line right after the first of the year. The salary range would be from
$20,0�0 - $28,000 depending on qualifications.
