Adopt Resolution #19-268 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.  At this time, staff have selected a qualified candidate.   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 and the Ward 3 election, in addition to the normal workload.  

The job description is attached. 

The funding to fill this temporary position is included in budget. 

Staff recommends adopting resolution #19-268.
