Adopt Resolution #19-221 Hiring a Fall Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Worker

The purpose of this case is to request authorization to hire a Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Worker.

The previously hired seasonal employees have recently left employment.   A few of them left sooner than was planned for, in order to get a head start on their schooling.  This case is to replace one of those seasonal employees so that the City's fall seasonal maintenance work can continue.   This action will not increase the budget.

Seasonal Public Works Maintenance workers provide general maintenance of streets, park grounds, trails, buildings, and related facilities and equipment through the spring, summer, and possibly fall months. This also includes mowing and trimming; pruning and planting trees or working on landscape projects; maintaining athletic fields; picking up trash; street maintenance; and utilities maintenance.
 

Annually, the City employs Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers to perform work in the Parks, Streets, and Utilities Divisions of Public Works. At this time, staff selected one seasonal candidate to work in the Public Works Department.

The funding required to fill these positions is included within the approved 2019 budget.
 

Staff recommends adopting the attached resolution. 

Motion to adopt resolution #19-221 to hire the following employee on or near the dates listed below:  Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers: Doug Opsal, effective on or near October 10, 2019 at $11.00 per hour.
