Adopt Resolution #19-238 Hiring a Fall Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Worker

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

Now that school is back in session, the previously hired summer seasonal employees have left employment.  However, most of the seasonal tasks continue well into the fall.  It is necessary to replace some of the summer 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 fall Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers to perform work in the Parks, Streets, and Utilities Divisions of Public Works. At this time, staff selected one fall 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 #19-238 to hire the following employee on or near the dates listed below:  Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers: Nathan Close, effective on or near September 24, 2019 at $11.00 per hour.
