Adopt Resolution #19-297 Hiring a Temporary Part-time Building Maintenance Worker

At a recent City Council work session, staff alerted the City Council of an upcoming temporary absence in  Building Maintenance due to a staff member’s leave of absence.  The City Council, by consensus, directed staff to conduct a recruitment to fill the temporary position.  The candidate that filled this position has since quit.  At this time, staff has another qualified candidate to backfill the open position.  The candidate passed the pre-employment screenings.  Staff recommends hiring the Temporary Part-time Building Maintenance Worker in the Public Works Department.

As discussed previously, staffing in this area is already quite lean and the timing of the leave falls within a busy time of year with snow removal duties, in addition to the normal workload.  

The job description is attached. 

The funding required for this position is included in the 2019 budget. 

Staff recommends adopting resolution #19-297.

Motion to adopt resolution #19-297 to hire Erick Benson, as a temporary part-time building maintenance worker, effective on or near December 9, 2019 at $15.00 per hour, for approximately twenty-five hours per week for approximately eight weeks.
