RE: Personnel Recommendations for October 20 Council Meeting
Gentlemen:
There are four staff positions which I would like to have you consider for
establishing and filling at this time. Two of these positions will require the
hiring of additional personnel and the other two will require realignment and
reassignment of existing personnel.
At our meeting of October 20, I would ask that these positions be considered
separately so the recommendation on each stands on its own merit and that your
concerns on each will not influence your feelings on the others.
The additional costs to add the two new positions are budgeted for 1988, and I
will comment further on costs for 1987 for the individual positions.
1. Parks Foreman
Public Works Foreman:
The following is a recommendation for these positions.
(a) Vacate the position of maintenance supervisor. Retain the position on
the personnel structure of the city.
(b) Revise the position description for the Public Works Foreman to
reflect that position's responsibility for certain personnel functions not
now inherent to that position. Clarify, in the position description, that
this position will be mainly responsible for the actions of the "public
works enployees" doing "public works" duties.
(c) Create a new position known as Parks Foreman for which the
responsibility of supervision of personnel and equipment conducting
maintenance of city park facilities would lie.Direction and daily
supervision for this position would come from the parks and recreation
director. Responsibility for completion of all tasks relating to the
maintenance of parks and park facilities would then lie with the director
of parks and recreation.
(d) Place Don Brown in the position of Public Works Foreman.
Personnel Recommendations .
October 15, 1987
Page 2
(e) Place Rich Cook in the position of Parks Foreman.
(f) Set salary levels for both of these foreman positions at a range of
$28,000 to $33,000. Don Brown's base salary is now at $33,500 plus
longevity and license pay. Recommend to allow Don to maintain his salary
of $33,500. Rich Cook is presently at $31,075 plus longevity and license
pay. Recommend moving Rich to $32,000 at May 15, 1988 and to $33,000 at
November 15, 1988 upon successful completion of six month and twelve month
probationary periods.
(g) I would recommend that on December 31, 1988, license pay for both of
these positions be dropped. These are stated requirements for the
positions, and I don't feel it is proper to be paying these foremen extra
for these licenses.
For Don it would be a loss of $.15 per hour or $312/year, and for Rick
it would be a loss of $.10 per hour or $208/year. For Rick, if he
successfully completes his six month probation period, he would not
experience any loss. Don would, as he is already at the top of the
schedule.
(h) Assign two regular maintenance persons to work for the Parks Foreman.
Additional personnel may be necessary as needs are determined for park
work.
(i) It is felt that separating work forces to accomplish operational
duties in parks and public works will better serve these specific areas.
To do this, it is necessary to provide continued separate supervision; thus
the establishment of a Parks Foreman. With this separation of duties, it
is felt that it will be unnecessary to maintain a person in the maintenance
supervisor position at this time. In the future, as growth determines,
filling the maintenance supervisor position may be necessary. This may be
in 1 year, 2 years or longer. The double layer of management at this level
is not necessary, somewhat burdensome and seemingly inefficient.
(j) Recommend that this action be approved and will go into effect
November 15, 1987.
(k) Action required would be to approve:
-- Both new job descriptions for Parks Foreman and Public Works
Foreman.
-- The establishment of a Parks Foreman position per attached job
description
-- Set salary ranges for both positions at $28,000-$33,000 with no
additional license pay for these positions effective December 31,
1988.
-- Appoint Don Brown to the position of Public Works Foreman at his
existing salary of $33,500 plus longevity and license pay.
Personnel Recommendations
October 15, 1987
Page 3
-- Appoint Rich Cook to position of Parks Foreman at his existing
salary of $31,075 and license pay and longevity with increases to
$32,000 at 6 month and $33,000 at 12 month successful probationary
periods.
- Action effective November 15, 1987.
2. Receptionist Position:
Having a public works director/engineer who has the responsibility to
maintain control over construction projects for development requires an immense
amount of Rich Hefti's time. It also has a relationship to the amount of
typing and clerical work required to be performed by his administrative
assistant. This responsibility is supported by the "receptionist" position,
now held, of course, by Cindy Dorniden. That position also takes care of the
water/sewer billing process.
With the increase in development projects and the additional water/sewer
operational needs arising out of our growth, this position is being
overburdened.
We recommend that Cindy Dorniden be totally dedicated to the public works
department as Rich Hefti's support person to provide the stenographic, clerical
and billing services needed. Her salary would remain the same, barring general
increases to employees, as it is in line with Donna Quintus as support
persons
We further recommend and request approval to advertise, interview and
recommend the hiring of a Receptionist as described in the attached position
description. The salary range for this position is recommended to be $6.50/hr.
to $8.00/hr.
The duties and responsibilities of this person are outlined in the position
description. This position would report to Susan Johnson as Council
Secretary/Deputy Clerk. The reason for this is that the position is simply an
"administration" or "general support position and will, in times of need,
provide typing support to Sue and other support positions. Someone needs to
direct the work of this position and make decisions on what work will be done;
thus Sue as "administrative support" person.
We would like to proceed immediately to advertise for this position and
attempt to bring a recommendation to you on it by the November 17 meeting with
a starting date of December 7. The position is funded for 1988 in the budget
as approved. One half of Cindy Dorniden's salary and benefit is now paid by
utilities. With this change, all of her cost will come out of utilities. With
a starting wage of $6.50 to $8.00 per hour for the new position of
receptionist, there is really no increase on cost to the general fund because
of Cindy's total cost being charged to utilities.
Your action would be to approve the advertisement to fill the position as
described in the Receptionist position description at a salary range of $6.50-
$8.00/hr, and benefits.
Personnel Recommendations
October 15, 1987
Page 4
3. Field Technician:
With the many projects that are ongoing and those already in planning
stages which are strictly development oriented such as streets, sewer and water
extensions; Rich Hefti's time is consumed, almost entirely by such projects as
assessments, project coordination, easement agreements and working with
planning and parks for plat approval, etc. Clarifying the role of the
consultant engineer as to how and by whom decisions will be made on all
projects will help Rich in this area.
Assignment of Cindy Dorniden to full time status as Rich's support person
will also help Rich dedicate more time in coordination of and setting direction
to the operation of maintenance personnel. Taking steps to setup the split
foreman positions will alleviate some of the day to day need for Rich to be
available in those areas also. We have found though that to allow Rich to
control, regulate and coordinate all of the construction projects and other
city projects requiring some engineering expertise, it is necessary to have
someone else inhouse with that ability to assist.
We would therefore recommend the hiring of a Field Technician. This person
would perform duties as outlined in the attached position description. There
are many other tasks that could and should be completed inhouse which are not
now able to be done, which a person with the capabilities outlined in the job
description could complete. Because the majority of this person's time would
be spent assisting in the engineering aspect of the projects for development,
we would charge back, to the projects, appropriately for his time spent on
them. We are estimating that up to 75% of his time would be spent on these
projects. This would not add to the project costs substantially and would, we
feel, provide a smoother project completion. Assistance in field work,
inspection, developer meetings, assessment work and more could be done by this
person. Assisting the planning and parks department in review of development
proposals would also be part of this position.
Conservatively we have budgeted for 50% of the cost for this position to
the operating budget. We recommend a salary range of $22,000 to $24,000 for
the position. We would ask for approval to proceed to advertise for this
position to fill by January 1, 1988.
4. Workstations: It
As part of the addition of two of the above personnel, moving Cindy and
hiring a technician, it would be necessary to purchase additional workstations
to extend our cubicles which now house Sue, Donna, Mike and our building
inspector.
Our recommendation is that we purchase the pieces necessary to add four
additional workstations which would complete the open area and house the field
technician and Cindy Dorniden. We also recommend moving Lisa Jost into one of
the new stations and have one open for staff to use as needed. If we add two
complete stations, completing the third and fourth will not add substantially
to the cost; and it is felt that adding the necessary panels and countertops
later for the third and fourth areas may actually be more expensive.
Personnel Recommendations
October 15, 1987
Page 5
We propose to move Lisa to get her a more reasonable work environment away
from the "closeness" of her supervisor and the steady traffic past her area.
Her present station would be used by interns and temporary help as needed.
The estimated cost of these four stations is $10,000. Most of that is
available in the 1987 budget with the remainder available in the 1988 budget
for this purpose.
We ask your approval to proceed with this purchase with approval to spend
an amount not to exceed $10,000.
Thank you for your consideration of these recommendations and again, please
consider each on their own merits. I would be pleased to discuss any of these
recommendations with you individually prior to the meeting.
